(OOC: [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Have you not keep up with the news? The fastest maglev train is 300mph (or 600km/h). There has also been tests in Japan, Germany, USA, and China to test methods and shapes that could get maglev reach higher speeds than 300mph and these tests seem to have become public. Furthermore, since maglev has no friction, it is theoretically faster and is able to reach incredibly high speeds. The maglev engineers themselves said that unless they are able to solve the issue of aerodynamics and comfort, a maglev could go over 1000mph, which is perhaps 3 hours from London to Japan.

Furthermore, there are designs. Have you heard that in a vacuum? in which there is a lack of air resistance?. That is the idea of our maglev train, we use vacuum tube tracks, and do away with the aerodynamic challenges. But the reason we don't reach higher 1000mph is for comfort, the phenomenon in which when you are in a car, your body travels as fast as the car itself, which is why when you break, you feel a force pushing you forward, because your body is still moving, you see. 1000mph is so far what we can accommodate for passenger comfort and services, for the real problem of the maglev was not speed, rather it was keeping comfort.)

But nevertheless, it is still Ryccia to decide which system do we want to implement. Yours perhaps may be cheaper, and easier to build. Nevertheless whichever Ryccia chooses, I hope that both our countries help this war-torn country to rebuild and not get affected by the choice of Trains Ryccia would choose.
