"Aren't you worried your logistics will explode if you keep doing this? If they break, you can't repair them at all, can you?"
".If they break, we throw them away. They're all obsolete models. There's no need to repair them, and they can't be repaired anyway."
They had been here for at least three years already. As land-dwelling creatures, humans had needed water-surface and underwater transportation from the very beginning. Before this public tender, they had actually gone through several generations of products.
