《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 784: To Riverdale City Again
Advertisement
While some people were secretly doing all they could to seize power, others were just burying themselves with more work.
.
--Riverdale City, Baymard--
.
Today was a brand new day, and Landon had just finished giving Tim yet another construction project which was in link to why he was in Riverdale city at the moment.
He sat in a massive room in wait.
Of course, he was also here with his secretary, the current City Mayor/ city manager, as well as some other people in the City Council.
Most new territories still kept their former city lords who were now made mayors... That is, if they were worthy of governing these regions.
But those who went against Landon because of greed were sent packing.
With that, the Baymardian government sent someone to take the position of mayor.
And after 4 years, the citizens could vote for another Mayer.
They could apply for candidacy if they meet all requirements on the list.
Because within the next 4 years, they will go to school, learn and decide whether they want to even be in politics or not.
Anyway, after 4 years, they will vote to either keep the same mayor or change him/her to another.
Everyone sat along the table with several documents before them, while their secretaries sat in chairs behind them quietly.
Right now, they had sent for 3 more people.
Time trickled down very quickly, and soon... A guard came in.
.
"Your majesty!
Mr. Yusha and his disciples have arrived."
"Hmmm... Send them in."
"Yes!"
With that, the guard left and later reappeared with a 44-year-old man and 2 other gentlemen who appeared to be in their late 20's.
All 3 walked in anxiously, as they didn't know why they were called in.
Had they done something wrong?

Were they going to be punished?
All the way here, they had asked the guards a hundred times if they were in trouble, and the guards simply replied that they didn't know.
Their anxiety was growing the closer they got to their destination.
Numerous emotions passed through their bodies, as they thought really hard about how they had lived ever since Riverdale became part of Baymard.
Maybe they offended his majesty and didn't know about it?
The guards just looked at them helplessly.
They couldn't say anything because they didn't want to give these men hope when they too didn't know why his majesty had summoned them.
Who could know what was cooked up in his majesty's head?
Even the mayor and those from the city council didn't know why they had been summoned.
In regular times, his majesty would give them a heads up and book a meeting based on their schedules.
But he didn't this time.
So maybe the meeting was urgent?
.
"W...we salute your majesty!"
Immediately, all 3 knelt and looked to the floor as if waiting for punishment.
"Please get up and raise your heads.
You're not in trouble.
Rather, I invited you 3 here because I need your help.
Your expertise is highly needed here."
The oldest of the 3 looked at Landon in shock and confusion: "Eh?... but your majesty, we're just astronomers who also happen to dabble in astrology."
"Exactly the people I'm looking for!"
Landon smiled broadly.
That's precisely the expertise he needed.
Why?
Because if the airport was going to be constructed, then the weather had to be predicted as well.
One should know that his next main missions might take him a year and a half~2 years to complete.
And after that, he might get rewarded the chance to create airplanes.

He already estimated that he would use 8 months to train the workers to build each part.
That is, they didn't have to know everything
Some would only specialize on how the wings should be made.
They will be taught about all the drawbacks, consequences and reasons why the wings must be done the way they should.
Their only concern should be the wings.
Another team might focus on creating the overhead space for bags, while others focus on the emergency doors.
All they had to focus on was their part that they specialized in.
So for the next 8 months, that's all they would do.
Study and build that part over and over again every single working day.
It will be carved into their bones for the entire 8 months that they build it over and over again.
Even if it was a mere door handle, they would do it until they were almost dead.
.
That said, after 8 months of repetitive training, they would put the entire plane together and test it out for 4 more months.
From here, the fun begins.
Pilots will now begin training and one flying for another year before the airport ever opened for business.
So when you look at everything and tally up the time frame, the airport will only be open, 4 years from now.
By building the airport, it wasn't that Landon was rushing.
He was just thinking ahead of schedule in preparation for then.
Isn't that how major projects are done?
The budget and everything needed to be kept aside and finalized before then.
The hangers were currently being built and all other buildings which might take over years to complete.
So all this was part of the plan.
But construction wasn't the only thing that was involved here.
The weather needle to be predicted!
Yes!
How else were they supposed to ensure that the planes don't might a terrible storm up in the air, especially during winter?
Landon knew that the system wouldn't give him knowledge on satellite production because it was supposed to be a reward.
He had a hunch that even after plans began flying, the system still won't reward him with it, so he had to go old school.
And that's why he sent for these 3 special guests.
.
Hearing that they weren't in trouble, all 3 felt very relaxed now.
"Your majesty, I and my disciples will be glad to help in any way we can."
"Good!
Now let's begin!"

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.
