I'm the King Of Technology
Chapter 1670 First Day!

Following the group, Julia's heart pounded greatly.

Bubuum. Bubuum.

Julia placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart was about to fly out any moment now. She wasn't nervous but excited. 

What future could await her behind those doors? 

After passing through several hallways and classrooms, they finally went down the stairs by one floor, before passing several other hallways and classrooms to reach the massive doors leading to the outside.

The building was built on slightly inclined terrain, so the ground floor on this side was the first basement level if one was entering the academy from the main doors on the other side.

Wow!

"What is that?" Someone exclaimed with bulging eyes of awe and disbelief. 

What sort of massive vehicle was this? Are they going to be driving people on the streets with such giant beauties? 

Damn! 

They dare say it was by far taller than trains and any other locomotives around!

But the people earlier said they were to be pilots, like those controlling the hot air balloons at festivals. 

So what's going on? Could it be they were to fly this work of art in the air? 

No way! How can metal fly? Why... doesn't that go against some laws of the world? 

Too late! 

Everyone's hair stops erect on their bodies as goosebumps quickly covered them. And the more they looked at the smirking people in the uniform, the more they wanted to shake out information from them. 

Come on! Tell them what they were doing quickly! At least confirm it, dammit!

Seeing how slowly these people took things, they wished they had the power to smack their gloves on them severally. 

Again, they noticed how windy the outside place was. 

Hell!

So this was why they gave them earmuffs and gloves? It was strange that when they were coming here, the wind wasn't this powerful. So why is this place so damn windy? 

Someone in their group had already unintentionally figured it out. "Could it be because so much there's have been cut off from the place that it was so airy?"

Yup. 

They were standing on the academy's runway that stretched a far distance too. 

There were also small control towers and designs that mimicked the newly built Baymardian Airport which they would soon replace out about later.

.

After gathering them, everyone knew the real show was about to begin!"

"Dreams..." The lead man in uniform spoke. "Dreams are ideas and thoughts that can become reality with a little work and ingenuity. Today thanks to his majesty and the money who worked tirelessly to create these masterpieces, people like us can not only fly in our dreams but also in reality!"

The man's words caused a stir in their hearts, as he gestured to the 2 massive 'vehicles' parked on the equally giant roads. 

"Aircraft! Planes! Those were the general terms for them. Unfortunately, we can only show you the smaller versions of the true aircrafts all of you will eventually fly."

What? These are these smaller versions? 

Several people in the crowd felt their bodies heat up and tremble with disbelief and faces that said it must be a joke. But more than anything else, their excitement came from confirming they were indeed going to FLY!

Hahahhahahahha~

Can you believe it? They, in metal vehicles... no! Metal aircraft flying sky-high? Well, even they didn't believe it.

(^w^)

"All 3 aircrafts before you're commercial ones. To the right are 2 aircrafts called private jets. One is called a Corporate/business jet, and the other is a Twin Turboprop plane. And to my left is a relatively smaller aircraft called a private single-engine plane."

Wow! 

All 3 were stunning, but many people's eyes quickly landed on the Corporate/business private jet. 

Its design was so slick and cool that it left the other 2 eating in the dust.

A private corporate jet. These are the sort rich wealthy folks who would pay to ride all by themselves. The entire aircraft smelt of wealth and luxury. 

Already, they knew this was a plane for the rich, and sure enough, they were right. 

.

From what was explained to them, one will have to book a private for themselves. It wasn't like the other aircrafts that could allow people to pay per seat.

It was crazy to think that one person would book such a large structure to travel in all by themselves. 

Of course, they could bring their families, friends, and lovers along too. Still, they had to admit it was showy.

Again, the Private jet differed from the rest in that its propeller blades were well hidden while the other 2 had visibly large exposed propellers. 

Take the single Engine Plane as an example. 

It had a propeller for a nose, and would most likely be recognized by people back on Earth as the sort of plane as the ones used to pass over jungles in movie scenes where the main character wants to go onto an island by air but no local planes would take them there. 

Welp. One could also replace them in the Earth version of Indian Jones movies and other adventure flicks. 

Of course, it can also be used in the city for sightseeing tours. But rather than paying for the entire plane those touring only pay for a seat and the experience. 

Depending on its design, it can fit at most 6 people, including the pilot in it. 

As for the Twin Turboprop plane, it has no visible propeller on its nose but has 2 on its sides.

It can also fit 19 passengers at most and is faster and more lightweight than the private jet. So travel time would be shorter too. Nonetheless, the distance it can travel fails in comparison to how far a private jet could go. 

.

Good Guy!

Everyone was blown away when given tours of what the planes like on the inside. 

To get things moving fast, they split the group into 3 and led them to the various aircrafts.

For Julia's group, they started off with the smallest plane here -- The Single engine Plane. 

Amazing!

Once one enters, they are immediately met with a space that divides the pilot's space and the passenger's space.

There were 8 seats in total on the plane. 2 seats for the pilot (s), and 6 seats for passengers. The design was just right, ensuring everyone could at least get a glimpse out of the small windows.

Of course, everyone's main attention was on the cockpit.

What the hell? Why were there so many buttons? 

How were they to remember so much about what was what and where? 

What do they press? What do they do? 

"You need not think too much." One of the people in uniform advised. "When I started, I was just like you. I thought I would never be able to completely what these buttons do. I'm still learning now. But the good thing to know is that most of these buttons are the same on any type of aircraft. What's more, for your first time flying, you will always be a co-pilot, assisting the lead pilot. Only after completing your standard required flying hours, can you become a Pilot. 

There were no shortcuts. 

It was now 6 days before the start of November. 

According to the schedule, the Airport will officially launch commercial flights in late Spring which was around May.

So now they had 7 months to train and fly to earn their positions as Co-pilots. 

Don't think they'll be in classrooms and flight simulators all the time.

No way. Come December, they will start joining in on public delivery missions.

The planes adhere aren't the only type of planes available. They have Cargo planes and also amphibian planes that would have to do trips and runs across the Capital cities of all Pyno-UN Empires, taking cargo and doing swift deliveries for those located at the central regions of these empires.

But it should be warned that although the aircraft cargo carriers could transfer a hefty load of goods, there will be a limit to what can be done per person, which is different from what the Baymardian ships offered.

When doing shipping via the ships, there were no such constraints on items. Even weapons could be shipped from one empire to another... excluding Baymard. 

But in the planes, they might have to deny some items that could go aboard. 

In the end, these trainees will have ample time to feel confident about their flying skills. Even if they weren't so ready yet, once Commercial planes get launched, they will still play as co-pilots for another 6~7 months before finally getting the chance to become Pilots.

Soon, it will be them training later recruits. 

Of course, the reason why Landon made Cargo planes start flying in December was because of publicity.

The more people look forward to it, the bigger the business!

. 

Today was a miraculous day for Julia, after seeing so many awesome features each aircraft had. 

Their blood swelled with adrenaline and their heart raced chaotically. 

She could feel it. 

This was it! This was what she was looking for!

"Today, and for the next 3 days, you will head home, gather your things and report to the academy to be given your assigned sleeping quarters! You will study, work, and train your bodies too. Just because you're pilots in training does not mean you need to be weak! Now follow me to get your uniforms, registration badges, and rule books!"
