During the revolt of the workers, who had to eke out their existence underground against the ruling class above the earth, the "heart-machine" is left to destruction despite warnings. The consequences for the workers are devastating, as the heart-machine controls the water balance and hence it comes to catastrophic floods in the underworld.
