Chapter 779 - New Rules!
Chapter 779 - New Rules!
Aircrafts!
As for the reason why the system hadn't rewarded it to him yet, Landon could already guess some of the reasons for that.
Firstly, one should know that after he finished his current main missions which included Pac-Man and the Aquarium... He would be rewarded with knowledge on computer systems, Wi-Fi, game boy creations, wireless earpieces and music pods.
Knowing this, it was clear that he would have to integrate something into the plane.
Be it the chance to select and watch any movie on flight, or even the chance for first class to order via computer systems, the plane had to have some sort of entertainment.
Of course, they could always mount a few T.Vs' every after 10 rows of seats, and make everyone watch the same movie with their earpieces on.
In this scenario, the Cabin crew would be in charge of switching the tape once it finished playing.
But did they really want to do that?
No!
It was better to wait for the system's main mission reward and properly develop the option for everyone to choose a movie for themselves via the screen in front of them during each flight.
In short, there were so many reasons why aircraft construction had to wait.
And he could see why.
That being said, Landon had already come up with certain rules for air transport, which were also in line with the system's rules too.
.
One should know that Baymard was the only place that had electricity.
Additionally, he could build smooth runways outside the empire.
But he couldn't construct any cement buildings, and neither could he keep any equipment out of Baymard.
So, just like the cruise ship situation, he also came up with a few guidelines.
Looking at cruises, they typically drop off passengers 2 or 3 hours before their next schedule.
And during this time, trolleys, and other transport equipment from the sh.i.p.s will load and carry all luggage out, as well as into the ship (for the next schedule).
In this way, the equipment never stayed in Carona since they're stored on the sh.i.p.s.
Again, check-in is usually scheduled 45 minutes after each cruise ship has arrived.
That's done so that the T.S.A (transport, administration agents) could get off the sh.i.p.s with handheld metal detectors, chemical and fluid detectors.
And when everyone got boarded, they went back to the sh.i.p.s with these hand-held devices.
In short, only those booking tickets actually stayed in Carona all day.
This way, none of Baymard's technology stayed in Carona.
In this same way, each plane will have to carry a few T.S.A personnel, as well as a few luggage carrying trolleys in the plane's lower storage areas.
Of course, some technicians will be on every flight.
Because after landing, the plane's system's will be checked before take off again.
As for fuel, provided the plane wasn't leaving the Pyno continent, then they would be good for a round trip.
.
Typically, a commercial plane could fly non-stop for 18~21 hours without refuelling.
Take for example a plane leaving North America to Africa, it spends 13 or more hours during a non-stop flight.
Planes were designed to go that far.
But now, Landon was only focused on the Pyno Continent which would take 3~8 hours at most.
So with a round trip back to Baymard, that was at most 16 hours.
Bottom line, refuelling wouldn't be an issue for him provided no flight was out of the Pyno continent.
Again, if someone from Arcadina's Capital wanted to take the flight to Carona's Capital, the plan would still make a stop at Baymard for refuelling before heading off.
No matter where they were going, all planes would stop at Baymard first!
He would only build the airports within each empire's Capital city.
Now, back to the rules...for passengers, they could only get on an airplane if and only if they already had a Passport.
No!
Passport, no plane ride!
It might seem cruel, but it would help with security a lot.
.
For the 2nd rule, each passenger can only have 3 pieces of luggage max; 1 carry one and 2 other regular luggage.
Of course, this didn't include a lady's purse, backpack and whatnot.
These ones could be checked in for free if they didn't go over the weight requirements.
For sure, any extra bags would be priced.
But there was a catch; the extra luggage couldn't exceed 2.
So in total, each person could only bring 5 bags with them.
Anything more and it would be advisable to take the cruise sh.i.p.s.
After all, planes didn't allow food and other things in it.
So if they wanted to transport goods, they still needed to rely on the sh.i.p.s.
Aircrafts were for those who were busy and wanted to get somewhere fast conveniently.
Landon was sure that the moment it was completed, Penelope, William, Santa, Micheal, Sirius and everyone else could see him daily if they wanted to discuss urgent political issues.
Communication would undoubtedly become way better.
The Capital cities were months away from the coastal cities where the sh.i.p.s were, so there was always a delay with urgent political messages.
But now, with the airports positioned in the Capital, those around, be it peasants or nobles, they could hop on and enter Baymard in a matter of hours rather than travelling for months to the Coastal regions for a ship cruise.
Of course, if they had a lot to transport, they still had to go on the sh.i.p.s.
And, many would still do so because they wanted a vacation and an experience of a lifetime.
Plus, some were too far away from the Capital cities, so it would make no sense for them to head towards the Capital rather than just taking the ship ride to Baymard.
In fact, depending on the people or the situation at hand, both ship and airplane rides had their pros and cons depending.
Landon couldn't wait for the day when everyone would fly for the first time.
It would undoubtedly be mind-blowing.
So how can he not look forward to it?
