Но посмотрим глазами средневекового мореплавателя на современный сухогруз:...

But let us look through the eyes of a medieval navigator on a modern cargo ship: a ship of cyclopean size, which can carry the largest karaka instead of boats. Made of steel, and not some nasty "rust", but of a very high quality, from which even noble dons would not hesitate to order armor for a lot of money. It’s not driven by sails, but by some kind of hellish machine, which needs to be extracted somewhere in the lands of the Saracens, deep from under the ground, some black liquid, and even processed alchemically. To realize the full scale of insanity, the navigator of this monster calculates the course on HANDSHIELDING CELESTIAL BODIES (!) And this chthonic something, lying beyond the bounds of understanding, good and evil, just carries wheat and Chinese linen across the oceans, and imagine this quite profitable.
