《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 364. Could Man Really Fly?
Advertisement
The next day, Landon woke up with a bright smile on his face.
After dealing with the likes of Alec and his team, how could he not be happy?
Typically, Alec and his crew would've been banned from entering Baymard for trying to attack an official on duty.
But due to the fact that not many people were accustomed... or had even heard of the rules here, it would be somewhat unfair to just ban them at their first mistake.
Hence everyone would be given one more shot again.... since at this time, they should've all felt the consequences of going against the rules here.
And by then, if they still hadn't learnt anything.... then for sure they would get banned.
Each month, and year... the rules had to be revised to suit the needs of the people and all the changes that had occurred in Baymard.... especially now that Baymard could protect itself.
Bottom line, Alec and his crew had just one more shot at getting into Baymard.... that is if they followed the instructions there at the port.
But of course, this one-chance policy only pertains to the Ports.
If they committed murder or did any horrendous crimes while in Arcadina, they would be punished by the laws 'Non-Baymardian citizens'.... no exception.
One shouldn't think that these punishments were light just because they were given to non-Baymardian citizens.
Hehehe..... well, he could only hope that Alec and his team were smart enough not to do anything stupid while staying here.
Because if so.... then they would have a taste of thos treatment for themselves first hand.
Anyway.... he decided to not think about them anymore, as he had a ton of things that needed his attention at the moment.
He was the king after all... and even if Alec requested for an audience with him, he was truly too busy to see that arrogant father of his any time soon.

Like he had said, there were several other things that needed his immediate attention right now.
Hence he quickly went to the Construction industry to meet up with a few industrial overseers and their secretaries there.
Yup..... it was time to make Hot Air Balloons!!
'Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!'
Walking into the meeting room, Landon was immediately greeted by Tim, Wiggins, and Sophia.
They were the 3 overseers that would be in charge of jointly producing this product.
And seating directly behind them, were their secretaries... who were there to take down the meeting minutes or note down any important points for their bosses later on.
For the hot air balloon's official manufacturing site, Landon had decided to use one of the sectors within Tim's industry..... and allocate it for them.
In short, these balloons would also be used for festivities and other recreational purposes as well.
What he wanted, was to make a new attraction site, that allowed one to ride on these hot air balloons and have a sky tour from District C (where the schools, government offices, banks and other service spots are) to District D (where the Go-kart racing fields, car stores, Malls, luxury hotels were) all the way to District G (where the national park, regular bars, regular motels and so on were.).
Of course regions like District A (palace region), district B (military training regions and Prison sites).... and the entire Coastal region, would be off limits to during the sky tour.
Typically, one would still be able to get a glimpse of these regions from afar... but it wouldn't be very detailed.
So that was somewhat acceptable to Landon, as his enemies wouldn't be able to take advantage of anytime.
Also, he had exempted District H from the tour, because it was closest to king's landing..... since in a way, there were also major military buildings there as well.

So of course he wouldn't bring the tour guests anywhere near any military sites.
Hence the tour was from District C to District G only.
For now... these regions were the only regions accessible to the public via sky tour.
When it came to those eligible enough to pilot these hot air balloons..... for sure, only those who can get their licenses would qualify for the job.
Even back on earth, no matter where these sort of attractions were.... all the pilots had licenses.
In the U.K, one had to be a valid Private license issued by the Civil Aviation authority, before they could give people tours on these balloons.
The same requirement held true for the U.S, Australia, and several other countries.
These pilots need to be trained on situations like emergency landings, sending out hell signals, parachuting the guests out in extremely dangerous situations.
Hence Landon was taking no chances when it came to safety.
Also, they had to properly learn how to maneuver these hot air balloons.... ensuring that they moved only between the regions that Landon had emphasized on, lest they accidentally flew out of Baymard instead.
In addition to all this, he needed these pilots to also be combat ready and very quick thinkers..... just in case someone tried to pull a fast one on them in the air.
He wanted them to know that without them, these balloons wouldn't land.
So no matter how much they were threatened while in air.... they as the master of the sky, could get out of any threatening situation if need be.
Because no one would really kill the pilot, unless whatever they were piloting had finally landed.
He would also give them emergency devices just for such situations as well.
Hence with all this said.... not just anyone would be allowed to pilot these hot air balloons.
"Good morning your majesty!" All 3 overseers and secretaries said, while hurriedly giving Landon 90 degree bow in respect.
Today... the overseers were somewhat impatient and overly excited, when they thought about this hot air balloon project.
Will this entire thing really work?
I mean.... could man really fly?

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated! Thanks for reading!
