With 2,125 guest rooms, it can hold up to 5,246 passengers. China started building the ship in 2019 and it’s expected to be delivered (交付) by the end of 2023.

The ship is made of very thin steel wall pieces. The material would not be adopted on a common ship but on a cruise ship. It is required to be light to make room for passengers as much as possible.

The invention of papermaking
Hello, everyone! It gives me great pleasure to stand here to introduce one of the four great inventions in China — papermaking.
It’s believed that papermaking was invented by a man named Cai Lun in 105 AD in China. People used to write on heavy bamboo or expensive silk. Cai Lun’s paper was made from trees and other coarse fibers, making it available to the poor and much easier to carry.
Later, the use of paper spread beyond China and had a great influence on the world as a whole. On the one hand, the invention made it easier for people to write and record information. On the other hand, it was also helpful in promoting the spread of knowledge and culture throughout the world. What an important invention it is!
