Zhang has successfully tested his self-made miniature submarine "Shuguang Hao", which is 3.6 m (12 feet) long, 1.8 m (6 feet) high, has a maximum diving depth of 20 m (65 feet), can travel at a speed of 20 km per hour for 10 hours underwater and is shaped as a dolphin. "I hope to sell my submarine as a civil product at the price of about 100,000 yuan ($15,670) after safety tests, and a merchant has decided to order one in this month", Zhang said.

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:10:05 +0200 (AP) - An unfinished elevated ramp, left, is shown next to the Ambassador Bridge, both owned by trucking magnate Manuel “Matty” Moroun in Detroit, Thursday, June 16, 2011. Government officials and business groups have agreed for years on the need for a second international bridge between Detroit and the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario, the busiest commercial border crossing in North America. The effort has stalled, largely because of opposition from the owner of the existing Ambassador Bridge, billionaire Manuel “Matty” Moroun. Nearly 30 percent of the goods sold between the U.S. and Canada are trucked across the Detroit River. Yet there are just two main paths through the bottleneck: an underwater tunnel too cramped for tractor-trailers and the Ambassador, a 7,500-foot span that opened weeks after the 1929 stock market crash. Maroun contends a publicly supported bridge would compete unfairly with his own. Bridge supporters say it would relieve congestion and provide an alternative in case the aging Ambassador is disabled. Their push has been gaining traction — largely because Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has championed the project since taking office in January. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)
