”I think its cargo capacity should be almost five or six ti the surprised looks on the officials' faces ”But this is just the beginning With technical progress, it'll be able to carry cargo which needs 100 concrete boats to transport at once”
”A, A hundred?” Barov sed hard As the City Hall Director, he ell aware of theof the number
”So what about its speed?” Petrov asked in a tre voice
