Chapter 366 Take Off

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.

.

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 hell 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!!"
