Chapter 1875 Shadows In The Dark
(~_~)
–Silence– Landon sat in silence, not knowing what to say to his hateful system. Sigh… Forget it. "Now that the rewards are here, it"s time to officially begin Project Touch The Moon!"
Rubbing his forehead, Landon smiled. Satellites, rockets, Navigational system technology… the knowledge was all in his brain, swimming around, waiting to be made. Luckily, he had long kept, cleared and leveled an enormous plot of land on the left side of District B, which also has the Prisons and Police Training Academy there. He would have loved to have it in the Lower Region, but the National Aeronautics and s.p.a.ce Administration (NASA), was a place for Baymardians as well as people from allied nations to work in. Like he said, some jobs can only be specifically done by the Baymardians, but there were many other jobs for people from allied empires to do. One shouldn"t forget that Baymard"s Capital city alone was a combo of several times vmages and 2 cities all joined into one, so it was also a very pretty huge place. That said, every District was ma.s.sive leading to smoke s.p.a.ce for Landon to do as he pleased. It was amazing to say that the landma.s.s was 1.7 times bigger than NASA"s Station back on Earth. And Landon had also left ample surprising s.p.a.ce around it for future expansion. What was truly amazing was that it was so far away from the prisons and Police academy despite it being on one side of District B. Within District B, Landon found the perfect open s.p.a.ce location, with enough s.p.a.ce and for the International s.p.a.ce Station. What"s more, rockets are generally loud and noisy, so it"s best to get them as far, far away from the main city hub as possible. Landon planned to enclose the area with towering barbing wires with high intensity electricity threading through them, just like the lower region. Now that he understood how the s.p.a.ce station operated, it was now time to get to work with construction.
Building the actual to keys would take a shorter time to complete with the spider helpers at hand. 30% of the inner infrastructure of the many buildings would also be done by these spiders. But for the rest, they must get to work in them fast! For this project, Landon planned to hire the largest bunch of construction workers, so it can be done fast. He wanted the entire thing built before next early Spring (around March). And during this one year period, he will train and reach the astronauts and everyone else involved on what to do. After next March, everyone will be hands-on for at least 4 more months until the final big Launch date in August.
Yup! He said it. Sometime next August, man will finally get to walk on the moon. And don"t for one second think he won"t be putting the Baymardian flag up there. .
Whelp!
As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

Landon quickly vanished from his first cla.s.s seat into the system"s s.p.a.ce, pouring out everything he knew into empty notebooks in his drawer. In the s.p.a.ce, the time of flow is different, giving him more time to write his elaborate and out before they land in Yodan in 4 hours. Indeed, many found today to be a blessed day, and for the following weeks, all many could hear of were talks of sky travels and whatnot. It even became something to brag about if one has entered a plane before. The rich just couldn"t stand not having entered yet. "Hmph! You"re so ancient. How can you still ride to the Capital city in a carriage? Just think of how many months you will use in travel and compare it to the 1~3 days flights from Carona to Terique? How can you compare both?"
"Wow! After flying, I"m not sure I can Sig for so many months to travel from Arcadina, leave the South border, enter Yodan"s border and travel months again to get to my brother-in-law"s home to visit. Do you know how long a one way trip used to be for me? 7 months! It took me 7 months with a wagon to leave my home, cross the borders and go to visit them?" "Amazing! Amazing! This must be a staple travel path I must take! Too bad these anes can"t drop us off in other cities and towns in the empire. Plane travel is only good if you want to travel out of the empire." "Yes, yes, yes! It"s also great for those living close to the Capital. For those living fat, it"s still better for them to take the Baymardian s.h.i.+ps, than travel all the way to the Capital for months on horseback." "Indeed, I"m now realizing that all means of traveling are still of great value. We still need our buses (wagons designed like buses), carriages, wagons and horses to get around within the empire. And those close to the coastal regions will also choose to leave by sea."
"Don"t forget that aircrafts can only take on a limited luggage load for pa.s.sengers…And yes, Baymard does offer another aircraft delivery option for merchants, allowing special cargo aircrafts pick and deliver the goods from one Capital city to another in a flash. But in the end, heavier loads are still better off being s.h.i.+pped via sea." "Exactly! That"s what I"m thinking too. Everything has his pros and cons. But for quick movement"s aircrafts are definitely the best!"
(^w^)

Everyone spoke about the matter to no end. However, they weren"t the only ones making trips and moving about. Bam! A strong veiny, burly and muscular foot stepped onto the sandy soil in a fat, far away land. The foot belonged to a mighty commander with a ghastly mark on his neck. And behind him were 100 others while slowly followed behind him in silence. It was odd to say that at this late hour of darkness, the ports have long closed and no one was supposed to be seen setting foot at this time after the curfew. But the rules held no weight for these men who moved in sync with one goal in mind, and that was to capture the second Key!
