Chapter 367 Shocking News

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!!"

Hearing that, Kate and other 6.... including those who were watching from the sidelines, all felt like they had been struck dumb.

How was that possible?

.

Kate’s blood boiled with excitement.... as she listened to Landon.

She just couldn’t believe that she out of all people would somehow be added into Baymard’s Museum.

Even though she didn’t know what a Museum was?..... from Landon’s brief explanation, she could immediately tell how important it would be in the future.

So how could she not be exhilarated?

Soon, they were also instructed on how to use something called a parachute.... as well as about other safety measures while flying.

No matter what, safety was always necessary in everything that one did.

Hence these briefings were definitely a must.

.

Stepping into the basket, which seemed to be as sturdy as a car.... Kate quicy found its layout to be fairly spacious and easy to get around.

Firstly..... it was organized just like how buses were.

The middle part was used as a footpath....and at its sides, one would see several stalls there as well.

Of course these stalls were generally waist level, and were made to be lower than the baskets outer walls by far... so that everyone could still interact with each other safely.

.

So in essence, there were:

•6 stalls on the right side of the basket

•6 more stalls on its left side

•3 stalls at it’s back

•Another 3 at its front.

Of course that totalled 18 seats all together for the passengers.

But unlike buses that had their drivers at the front... these ones had their pilots directly under the burners at the center of the basket.

Landon had designed it based on one of Dubai’s most popular 30 passenger rides there.

.

Kate quickly got quickly into her own stall, and looked at its sides ... and saw a parachute there exactly where his majesty had said it would be in.

Everyone did the same as well....and when they were good to go, Landon and Tim who were the pilots.... quickly cranked up the fire from the burner.

.

’Puuffffffffff!!!!’

’Boom!’

The flames got stronger, and soon.... everyone in and around the contraception, as well as those staring out their office windows all had their mouths wide open in shock

"Am I seeing things, or does that basket seem to be lifting up from the ground?"

"Ehhh?.... .. it’s really going up!!"

"Ahhh.... it’s flying!!!.... they’re flying!!!!!"

"How is this possible?"

"Why didn’t I run faster earlier?

"So initially when we were at ground level.... the atmospheric temperature of the air in the balloon was the same as that outside the balloon.

So when we crank up the heat, the molecules spread out and become less becomes dense... hence rising."

Trust these overseers to turn everything into a lecture hall.

Their secretaries and the other 7 people who had come on board, all shook their heads helplessly at them.

Would it kill you all to just relax and have fun without all using your brains for once?

.

A fewminutes later, they had stabilized at some distance high up in the air.... and now, it was time for the tour to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen.... welcome to Baymard’s first sky tour ever." Landon said from his mic.

’Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!’

Excitement filled the air, as the passengers all clapped loudly.

.

The giant balloon soon flew past the lower region, and made it’s way through the central and upper region.

Those below were stunned silly by what they were seeing.

They didn’t know if that was a balloon or not, as.... well, what balloon was that size?

"Mummy mummy... is that a balloon?"

"Ermm... darling.... ermm..... ....yes Yes Yes...you’re right darling... it’s a balloon."

"Bro.... check out that red ball up in the air!

It’s huge right?"

"Wait..... are those people riding below it?"

"People?.... bro, how come you’re the only one who can see these people?

How many times have I told you to get those eyes of yours checked?

Do you see your life?"

.

Meanwhile, as the mesmerizing red balloon passed above the central and upper region.... numerous police officers quickly reported the matter to their superiors.

"Sir..... there’s a possible threat of an enemy attack from the sky!!!"

"_"

Immediately, the military were on it!

And soon, when they used their binoculars and spotted Landon and the rest on board.... they quickly sighed from relief.

But at the same time, they couldn’help but marvel at the fact that man could fly.

Very soon.... the news quickly covered everything in a blink of an eye.

.

"Urgent news... just coming in now.

The flying red object is of nothrear to us..... I repeat, the flying object outside is of no threat to us.

Ladies and gentlemen..... up on that balloon, are his majesty, Overseer Wiggins, overseer Tim, Overseer Sophia and a few others.

Yes!!..... for the first time ever, MAN CAN FLY!!!"
