I’m the King Of Technology

Very quickly..... Landon and the overseers immediately got several workers to help put everything together.

Each of the overseers had previously brought a sample of their best work for this meeting..... and had already left it at the back of the building.

So right now, they were all busying around in attempts to configure it all.

Today, they were going to test out the largest basket size.... which was the one that could carry 20 passengers in it.

.

"I think we have to strap the gas tanks around the sides.... wait, let me help you there." 

"I'll place and secure the burners over the basket, while you guys do that."

"Quick!... now that the envelope (balloon) is evenly spreaded  on the ground... let's turn on the high powered fan, to get it floating in the air."

"_"

Everyone busied themselves excitedly, as they hurriedly configured everything together.

And soon.... the hot air balloon was really for lift off.

Now, the only question that remained was.... who were the first people that were going to step into it?

.

One should know that... this would still be a part of Baymard's history, and eventually world history.

The first people to have rode the amazing flying balloon!!

Even for centuries to come, their names would go down in history.... whether they were just ordinary workers or not.

Their family lines and trees would definiy be remembered by historians and archeologists in several millenniums from now.

But of course  these people didn't know tagt yet, as for them.... they only wanted to ride in this balloon that was supposed to fly.

Looking at how gigantic the balloon was, as well as how the setup came together perfectly.. all them felt that today, MAN would definitely FLY.

.

Right now..... several people around the building, had already seen the red colored massive balloon floating at the back of Tim's office building.

One had to know that the balloon length alone was over 26 meters..... which was fairly close to a 3-storey building.

Of course Tim's office building was 4-storeys high.

So even if the front view was blocked by Tim's building....  those that worked within the buildings located one street back from Tim's, could still see everything that was taking place there.

.

Yes, the industry was large...as every road had a street name within it, just like how universities also had several street names within them as well.

So those behind Tim's office, could see what Landon and the rest were doing on the lawn there.

Immediately.... the observers on their 15 minute break, quickly opened ther windows anand crowded around them anxiously.

Even those who were just taking a walk within the industry, also stood still to watch the show.

What the **** was going on there?

.

Landon met everyone's hopeful gaze, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No matter how he looked at it, there were only 20 available positions within the basket.

Obviously, all 3 Overseers, all 5 workers that aided them right now, all 4 secretaries who had also helped in configuring the whole thing and Himself... were definitely going on board the balloon ride.

So that left him with only 7 more available spots for the ride.

.

With 7 spots available, Landon told the Overseers to choose more people for the ride.... which they did, but in the most hilarious way that Landon could think of.

Tim suddenly yelled out about it... And instantly, a massive crowd came rushing in from nowhere.

The whole thing was really funny to Landon, as it was almost like a bird call or something.... because before Tim had even finished what he was about to say, several people had already rushed over in a flash.

.

'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'

It was almost like a race, as Landon could even see people run with all their might... as if there would be some sort of grand prize in the end.

From the road behind and besides them, several people ran like cheetahs towards them.

And from the back doors of Tim's office building, heck!..... Landon had even seen people open the building's back doors violently, and jump over the outdoor stairs... before rolling onto the ground and running towards them.

Did they think they were in the Olympics or something?

Anyway..... since Tim had said that only the first 7 to make it here would get the chance to ride in the balloon, the rest would only have to wait until he made the touraccessible for everyone else within Baymard.

.

Kathy was initially going to the cafeteria to meet up with her friends there.

But when she passed on 'Oxford drive', she immediately paused at the sight of the massive balloon that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger with every passing second.

What the **** was going on there?

She tried to look at those involved with blowing up the balloons....but it was only when the 3-storey balloon finally floated up in the air, that she could spot his majesty Landon.

Instantly.... she knew that whatever this whole thing was, it would definitely be legendary!!

.

Unknowingly.... she slowly began advancing little by little.

And when Tim had that announcement, she ran like the wind with all her might.

"Young lady..... please step forward and stand to my left.."

"_"

She had been chosen!

Kate did as she was told merry, as those words were like magic to her ears.

But amidst her joy, she still couldn't help but wonder about what ride they were talking about.

She had only come because Tim said that they wanted volunteers to test out their project.

But what exactly could this balloon thingy do?

Even though balloons were obviously meant to fly?

She just couldn't believe that THEY would fly up alongside this balloon.

So in her mind, this project was related to something other than flight.

.

Kate stood there anxiously as she waited for other people to also get selected as well.

"Today, August 6th 1026... you 7 have been chosen to ride alongside us for this project.

One this day, Man will fly for the very first time!!"
