Chapter 1592: No More Waiting!
Just like that, Yusha's team was introduced to the wonderful world of aviation.
For air traffic control, the most hired group was meteorologists.
Meteorology itself was a branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather.
It included atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, and many other matters concerned with the physical, dynamic, and chemical states of Hertfilia's atmosphere, including its interactions with Hertfilia's surface (both land and water).
In simple layperson's terms, it studied these phenomena focusing on the troposphere and lower stratosphere.
In the end, many of those majoring in meteorology were chosen. But that was to say there weren't other jobs for those in other academy departments.
All in all, a variety of people were chosen for the jobs of;
•Air Traffic Controller (A.T.C)
•Airport A.T.C (Air Traffic Controller.)
•Enroute A.T.C
•Flight dispatcher
•Flight service specialist (FSS)
•Terminal A.T.C
•Visual Flight Rules A.T.C
•Instrument Flight Rules A.T.C
The list went on for what sort of jobs these people would fit in with best. And all of them had vital jobs.
...
In a flash, 5 hours went by, with everyone more or less getting the scoop on their new jobs. And within the last hour, they gathered in a large staff hall for a brief presentation of what type of air locomotive they would be working with.
F***!
Yusha was tempted to curse while standing at the animated presentation before him.
His hands trembled, and his eyes shifted unfocused as he looked between Landon and the projected screen.
Gillian also wanted to scream from the top of his lungs, seeing the metal animation fly beautifully.
If it were before, they would have said such a thing was insoluble. But since his majesty said so, they believed it even more. He had blind faith in his majesty Landon. If anyone can do it, it would be him.
But after amazement came confusion and worry. Was this feasible?
Yusha's brows knotted. "Your majesty, though this plane thing has a stream-lined body, if it is to fly that high up in the air, I'm afraid the air will be apart in under a few seconds. So how do you counter this??"
Many nodded, also expressing their concerns.
They might not know the technical side of it more, but they have been studying the weather and using the hot air balloon to ascend high up severally.
Their studies showed that the higher one climbed, the colder it was. The wind speed was also terrible, and many other factors had drastic changes.
At the speed his majesty spoke of, visibility, wind shifts, precipitation, and overall sky conditions could cause this metal object to break apart, as simple as snapping a twig or peeling a banana.
Unlike hot air balloons that could float in a stationary position when high up, the same couldn't be said for airplanes.
These planes must always be on the move at a certain minimum speed. So his majesty can't lower the speed for fear of the plane crashing.
The only way to solve this matter was to come up with a unique solution that also took into account the plane's minimum allowed speed.
Landon smiled, massaging his chin slyly. His group of pupils was indeed smart.
"Everyone, your questions do target several major points. But I assure you that you need not worry about this matter. The aircraft's frame will have thousands of specially formed damage-resistance panels attached to a lightweight underlined base. The panels and frames together make a strong and lightweight craft to keep the plane's structure together under the attacks and pressure from the atmosphere."
What's more, after alien tech is mass-produced, the outer frame will be several times stronger… Of course, they don't need to know this part.
Oh~~ ('0')
Make sense.
Many nodded, putting their fears aside.
As they said, they might not know the technical or design parts, but they did know weather.
It's good...
Yusha's heart was drumming loudly the more he listened.
He couldn't wait to book a flight after the project became a reality. So what if he would be supervising airport matters? Did it mean he shouldn't take a flight during his off days?
Of course, because he was a very busy academy dean, Landon also tasked 6 people to supervise this project alongside him, 2 his disciples and the rest from other Baymard territories.
As for those from U.N. empires out here today, they wouldn't per se be working in the control tower but would be tasked with ground and runway control alongside other Baymardians.
There were many departments that would do many tasks like communicating and reaching out to aircraft on the ground, clearing up runways, assisting with take-off after factors like wind speed on the runway were calculated, and so on.
Many don't know that when they sit in their planes and drive along the runway, several experts do their jobs to ensure the take-off is successful.
The central tower would primarily focus on air control, aiming at matters during the fight. Of course, it also joined in during take-off and landing too.
All these calculations could be what delays a flight, especially weather.
If the current flight situation doesn't fit the flying criteria, the flight is stopped immediately. No boarding!!
Or if people have already boarded, they sit on the runway until more orders are given.
In other incidents, they might be told to exit the aircraft and reschedule for another time.
Some passengers might grumble and cry wolf that they had important places to go to. But it was for their good. It's better to be late and alive than rush and die.
All in all, Landon allowed the U.N nations to work in some air traffic jobs. They were all excited, still in disbelief by the opportunity presented.
You have to know that be it the Coastal port or Landport, it was our key Baymardians working there.
However, Landon had allowed them to work in these few jobs. It wasn't thanks to him but the system. The system had no qualms with them working in the jobs.
Of course, these were the only jobs they did in the entire airport. Every other job, whether it was Airline Food Service worker, passenger assistant, Airline baggage handler, and all the rest, was done by Baymardians.
...
"Your majesty, so you're leaving in a few days?"
"Hmhm… I'll take up the training until I leave. I've left self-explanatory videos, manuals, and books that each department must follow. When I get back, I'll test everyone to see how far they've gone."
Yusha nodded, secretly bringing Landon's words to his mind. No problem.
They were used to Landon's style and felt his usual manuals were always easy to follow, like one counting to 10.
If you follow it accurately, you'll be able to do it well. However, the books would be stationed in the Academy library.
One has to know that within the academy, the library was incredibly huge, with different ones and regions, from public to restricted.
And even within the restricted regions, there were areas for Non-U.N nations, U.N nations, and Baymardians.
How to say it? Baymardians could visit all 3 restricted zones, and U.N nations could visit Non-UN zones.
In the Academy, there were already non-U.N students whose empires had heard about Baymard but were not yet ruled by the chosen sons and daughters of the heavens. So Landon dared not sign treaties with their current rulers.
Instead, he sent people to aid those chosen to sit on the throne. So until then, these places would remain Non-UN empires.
Some of them had been chosen to join minor research groups, earning them a pass into the Non-UN restricted regions.
Still... It was very good.
Weather was for everyone to study because Baymard also needed to gather experts, as well as ancient records from all over the world.
Alright.
"Brat... You did good this time." Lucius commented, seeing many smiling while seated on their new workstations.
Lucius looked at his watch, urging Landon to pick up his pace. Now that this matter was over, they had to head to the barracks for a final meeting.
Why? Because they would be leaving for Omania together!
The land of the giants...
Even Lucius was looking forward to seeing such people, though he felt Landon's information might have exaggerated their physiques.
That is... How can anyone be so giant?
The duo entered their latest BX24 Jeep Wrangler, storming off towards the barracks.
Time for business.
The duo was ready for war. But they weren't the only ones ready to raise a fire.
Heh...
A woman wore a foul scowl, staring murderously at the portrait before her.
That was it!
She was done waiting for the T.O.E.P to take action.
She missed the portrait lightly, swearing to make things right.
Yes...
It was time to eliminate the weakling on the throne!
