章 212: The Caravan and News

Margaret arrived in the second month of summer as what had been agreed upon.

This time, the number of their boats had far exceeded the capacity of the dock, and quite a few sailing ships had to anchor along the riverbank, waiting for the ships before them to finish unloading cargos before being connected to the trestle.

It thus occurred to Roland that the dock of Border Town had to expand.

The Industrial Corporation of the Kingdom of Graycastle had at length managed to complete its task this month. It had successfully reduced the rejection rate to 40% and had manufactured three steam engines prior to the deadline. Although compared with the third generation steam engine used in Border Town, the commercial products manufactured in the plant was not in the same league in terms of power, noise reduction, vibrating frequency and gas leaking control, they were much better than the first generation.
