Chapter 784 - To Riverdale City Again
While some people were secretly doing all they could to seize power, others were just burying themselves with more work.
.
--Riverdale City, Baymard--
.
Today was a brand new day, and Landon had just finished giving Tim yet another construction project which was in link to why he was in Riverdale city at the moment.
He sat in a massive room in wait.
Of course, he was also here with his secretary, the current City Mayor/ city manager, as well as some other people in the City Council.
Most new territories still kept their former city lords who were now made mayors... That is, if they were worthy of governing these regions.
But those who went against Landon because of greed were sent packing.
With that, the Baymardian government sent someone to take the position of mayor.
And after 4 years, the citizens could vote for another Mayer.
They could apply for candidacy if they meet all requirements on the list.
Because within the next 4 years, they will go to school, learn and decide whether they want to even be in politics or not.
Anyway, after 4 years, they will vote to either keep the same mayor or change him/her to another.
Everyone sat along the table with several doc.u.ments before them, while their secretaries sat in chairs behind them quietly.
Right now, they had sent for 3 more people.
Time trickled down very quickly, and soon... A guard came in.
.
"Your majesty!
Mr. Yusha and his disciples have arrived."
"Hmmm... Send them in."
"Yes!"
With that, the guard left and later reappeared with a 44-year-old man and 2 other gentlemen who appeared to be in their late 20's.
All 3 walked in anxiously, as they didn't know why they were called in.
Had they done something wrong?
Were they going to be punished?
All the way here, they had asked the guards a hundred times if they were in trouble, and the guards simply replied that they didn't know.
Their anxiety was growing the closer they got to their destination.
Numerous emotions passed through their bodies, as they thought really hard about how they had lived ever since Riverdale became part of Baymard.
Maybe they offended his majesty and didn't know about it?
The guards just looked at them helplessly.
They couldn't say anything because they didn't want to give these men hope when they too didn't know why his majesty had summoned them.
Who could know what was cooked up in his majesty's head?
Even the mayor and those from the city council didn't know why they had been summoned.
In regular times, his majesty would give them a heads up and book a meeting based on their schedules.
But he didn't this time.
So maybe the meeting was urgent?
.
"W...we salute your majesty!"
Immediately, all 3 knelt and looked to the floor as if waiting for punishment.
"Please get up and raise your heads.
You're not in trouble.
Rather, I invited you 3 here because I need your help.
Your expertise is highly needed here."
The oldest of the 3 looked at Landon in shock and confusion: "Eh?... but your majesty, we're just astronomers who also happen to dabble in astrology."
"Exactly the people I'm looking for!"
Landon smiled broadly.
That's precisely the expertise he needed.
Why?
Because if the airport was going to be constructed, then the weather had to be predicted as well.
One should know that his next main missions might take him a year and a half~2 years to complete.
And after that, he might get rewarded the chance to create airplanes.
He already estimated that he would use 8 months to train the workers to build each part.
That is, they didn't have to know everything
Some would only specialize on how the wings should be made.
They will be taught about all the drawbacks, consequences and reasons why the wings must be done the way they should.
Their only concern should be the wings.
Another team might focus on creating the overhead space for bags, while others focus on the emergency doors.
All they had to focus on was their part that they specialized in.
So for the next 8 months, that's all they would do.
Study and build that part over and over again every single working day.
It will be carved into their bones for the entire 8 months that they build it over and over again.
Even if it was a mere door handle, they would do it until they were almost dead.
.
That said, after 8 months of repetitive training, they would put the entire plane together and test it out for 4 more months.
From here, the fun begins.
Pilots will now begin training and one flying for another year before the airport ever opened for business.
So when you look at everything and tally up the time frame, the airport will only be open, 4 years from now.
By building the airport, it wasn't that Landon was rushing.
He was just thinking ahead of schedule in preparation for then.
Isn't that how major projects are done?
The budget and everything needed to be kept aside and finalized before then.
The hangers were currently being built and all other buildings which might take over years to complete.
So all this was part of the plan.
But construction wasn't the only thing that was involved here.
The weather needle to be predicted!
Yes!
How else were they supposed to ensure that the planes don't might a terrible storm up in the air, especially during winter?
Landon knew that the system wouldn't give him knowledge on satellite production because it was supposed to be a reward.
He had a hunch that even after plans began flying, the system still won't reward him with it, so he had to go old school.
And that's why he sent for these 3 special guests.
.
Hearing that they weren't in trouble, all 3 felt very relaxed now.
"Your majesty, I and my disciples will be glad to help in any way we can."
"Good!
Now let's begin!"
