Chapter 1869 A Glimpse Into The Future

Arriving at the airport, Lucia felt everything surreal. She didn't even know it yet, but her heart was beating so loudly, her chest had begun to rise and fall severally. "So big..." Julian beside her muttered, unable to keep his cool any longer.

Bilthozar said nothing but inwardly agreed. This structure was one of the biggest he had ever seen. He wasn't saying the tallest, but the biggest in terms of how vast it spread out. Now, they all stood holding just a single wheelable hand luggage which followed the dimensions advised on the internet and everywhere else. They had neck pillows on their necks, sunglasses on their hairs, and even the latest fashionable cross bags against their breasts. For this trip, everyone, including the guards only came with one wheelable luggage and a bag pack. Since the vehicles they came with were private vehicles, they all first drove towards one of the parking buildings which was just for first Class ticket users. Their tickets were first inspected before they proceeded to drive up to floor D, parked their vehicles along the other luxurious vehicles, before having the keys to one of the staff on the floor.

All in all, their vehicles were safely kept and protected by the Airport until they returned from their trip. From there, everyone then took the elevator down to floor C , which had a glass like door connecting the building to the actual airport. What surprised them was that Floor C actually led them to the Airport's main ground floor. The magical glass doors opened, and everyone was again taken aback by how wide and vast the interior was. The floors were layered with full but luxurious gray and black marbling, with some distinct golden lines running across the surface. No... this place was just crazy huge. There was also self check in, and personal check in lines too. "Amazing! It truly works!" A young man on the self check-in line exclaimed. There were no touchscreen pads yet, so all he needed to do was press the up and down buttons, as well as the keypad style buttons to check-in. White grayish white marble tiles surrounded the machines and the space right before the machines where people stood during check-in. And between each self check-in Machine rows were black Tiles lined up as if telling people to leave that area clear by people passing between. Along each line for Self Check-in Row were large blue boards white printed words and images. Step 1, check-in and print boarding pass, change seats if you want, check bags and print bag tags. Step 2, If checking bags, please proceed to BAG DROP after tagging bags. Everything was written there. 'Was it truly that easy?'

With curiosity brimming in their hearts, the trio didn't even know when their footsteps led them to watch over another period do the self check-in. With trembling hands, the lady tapped the inactive screen, and the first thing they saw was a Grand welcome message. .

[Please, use the arrows on the Keypad to select your language: Pyron, Roma, Zohl, Oma, Mirv.]

Ah! The lady turned her head to the left of the machine, and raised her hand to press the arrows on the physical Keypad there. The keyboard was like a compressed Computer keyboard, which everyone was now more or less familiar with. Tap

The lady pressed the enter key since the Pyron option was already highlighted. So far, so good. Many thought, holding their breaths with knotting tummies that curbed and churned from anxiety. Swish! The screen then changed again, showing a list of options in large white boxes for them to pick. And in the background looked to be the wing of a plane in the sky. How marvelous!!

[Please select from the following options: 1) Scan Boarding Pass

2) Enter your First and Last names and Flight number

1) Change your seat

2) Print boarding passes

3) Check bags or Print tags

4) Add infant under age 2 ( in lap)

]

...

Once again, everyone was amazed when watching the lady select 2 out of the 4 options. She selected both options 2 and 3 before pressing continue. They then asked her if she needed to check in special items like walkers, ski equipment, baby strollers, wheelchairs and so on. She selected no, and was finally bright to the real bag check-in page. [How many bags are you checking in?]

There was a plus and minus sign between the middle <0 bag> word. She pressed the left key and that changed the bag number to 1 bag. Pressing the right key brought the bag to zero. And when she was done, she pressed enter. Up next, they asked her if she would love to enhance her trip by paying 50 Bays. She chose not to, and soon her tags were being printed out while a video played, showing how to place tags on the luggage. Following that, her boarding passes finally printed out and the lady then thanked everyone else. (0-0)

Such a process was simple, yet, it left the trio and the guards watching, all dumbfounded and speechless. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? For the first time, people truly got a crude taste of what Programmable machines could do. Clenching his fists, Bilthozar slowly raised his lowered head. "Let's go."

One day, his Mirvanna will also be great!
