In a world left changed and deserted by a magical cataclysm, civilization slowly begins to reassert itself. These are the struggles of those who came first, their fights, travels, and adventures.
Rhineforests LASH barges were made to do the river run? Hence the name?
At least they got a relatively easy run with a Defender. For a sounder, try getting ultrasonic parking meters and electronics box, might need to modify the output drivers to handle heavy piezos and Im not sure how water pressure resistant due to rain, splash and surface water at 100mph the sensors are, but its something to look forward to later? In fact, given submarine sonars cause problems close up with sound pressure levels, just how well would they work as underwater point defence especially with a variable focal grid style lens?

Err... yes and no. If you look at pictures of the ship, the barges themselves are just yellow floating boxes intended to carry the cargo. That's why in-story, this version of Rhine is able to transport tugboats (and other auxiliary craft) to actually get the barges where they need to be.
In short: Rhine's barges don't have propulsion. The tugs do, and even better for an upriver trip would be the trawlers RHine Forest can deploy.
And Aleksei did acknowledge going by land wasn't the brightest of ideas.

Hardware seems feasible. Difficulty might be interference and wave reverberation in shallow waters, which would be made worse by the fact such a sounder can't really point straight down and would have to be set at an acute angle to give the truck enough warning before it drives into a ditch.

I am 100% caught up now. You're off to a great start.
I've long wanted to visit the Netherlands because my father was born and raised in the Hague. It's a little depressing to think how quickly a lot of the country would collapse into a mess if it wasn't for constant efforts to prevent that from happening.
By the way, have you got yourself a proofreader? I saw lots of errors aside from the known problem of words running together.
Usually I do two passes of spellchecking before Alden takes a look at my chapters. Still, I'm not surprised mistakes would fly past either of us. Proofreading-wise it's sort of a hiatus at the moment. I don't want to stop the story, and I'm still writing, but I barely have enough time to write the 5-6k words per chapter I would want that I don't have buffer chapters built up at the moment. And I'd rather at least have a month or two of chapters ready before publishing resumes as I did with tome one. That... would unfortunately take time.

Either way, glad you liked what you read.
