I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1940  The Changing Times

Several parents, older siblings and families chuckled when seeing how excited the children were. Bear in mind that anyone below the age of 15 was seen as a child. Several older siblings at 15, who had just graduated from public school at the end of May, now found it amusing, feeling they were just too nature to jump around like their younger siblings. Today, several parents were both glad and sad at the same time. Sad, as they would miss their children, but glad to have them out of the house so they, parents, could focus on other things in their lives. The Baymardian public school was a mix between Boarding and Day school. There were students who lived on campus, preferring to pay campus housing than to rent outside and take the bus or get dropped to school every single day. There were also those who preferred living out. However, for most foreigners who come, their first thought was to live in the school grounds, as that was the easier accommodations to get. Think of all the money they were saving by staying in school? No transportation cost, no food cost since. paying for housing also meant that the school will give them free 3 square meals. It's just that meal time is open from 6~8 AM, 12~3 PM and 6:30~9:30 PM. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. They had meal cards and what was amazing was that during the meals, the collection of foods , fruits and deserts was also astronomical. Bubblegum ice cream, cake, muffins, greens, spinach, pancakes, meat slices… you name. They felt it was less costly to eat in school than to live outside and also pay for your own food. Of course, if you have parents and live with them, you also wouldn't worry as it

Several parents hated to admit it, but they secretly felt it was like a mini vacation time when they could focus solely on themselves. Do you know how much personal work they get done when knowing their children were away in safe hands? Date nights, having the house to themselves, advancing their careers knowing they don't have to keep calling back home and checking in and out frequently. Hey… their children were in school. Many children who have parents and guardians here in Baymard, actually live in school. Things have changed in Baymard and now, several parents don't mind paying boarding for their children.

Bahahahhaha~

3 months! Their children won't be sleeping in their homes for the next 3 months until the semester ends. Goodness, they felt they should pop bottles of champagne to celebrate. Understand that their children could still see them in the daytime or during outings. But that was it. La-lala-la-lah~ Several parents smiled while leading their children shopping. The sun high, school children shopping for school,... this was another sign that Fall was nearing. .

Soon, 1 week flashed by, and several people had long begun school, adjusting to everything around them. August 10th, Frederik's group finally said their goodbyes and headed for Lagoon empire with new and excited thoughts in mind. The future was bright! Know that they had taken plane trips to other empires in Pyno, and got great ideas when seeing how these empires managed to improve where technology was lacking. Their streets were cleaner, the citizens were aware of what a clean society meant, they had public transportation, good hygienic foods, more emerging entrepreneurs than expected, traffic's police officers, order and a booming society. Their minimum wage had gone up, there were less and less people dying from starvation from what many said, taxes were fixed and not something lords or greedy folks would impose whenever they needed money to support their luxurious lifestyles, and everything else just made a whole lot of sense to Frederik's group. The streets had streetlight posts, illuminating all corners and reducing crime rates so killers don't kill others in the dark. People had solar lights, solar fridges, reducing the rate of death from food poisoning when people ate old moldy and rotten foods. People had solar outdoor laundry machines, and even had solar heaters/coolers for all seasons. Pens and pencils were available for the prices of peanuts, and paper was no longer something people couldn't afford. The rate of illiteracy went down and even peanuts now began reading at astronomical rates. Frederik was always taught growing up that if peasants read, they will one day cause disaster to the nobles. However, he found this wasn't exactly true. So long as a good ruler sits on the throne, what exactly are you afraid of? Whether peasants were illiterate or literate, should you cross the line, there will always be a day when one revolts. He found that because peasants here were literate, they actually made the economy wealthier. Technological advancements were more prominent. The news concerning the death rate and other matters were all published in various newspaper articles. Many UN countries now public such common news to show everyone how their efforts have jointly paid off. So after taking everything in, Frederik was now more determined than ever to take the throne. He, Frederik, would go down in history as the man to change the fate of the Laboon Empire, his home. . Before many could blink again, August was over and September was finally here. Landon was thrilled at the speed at which project NASA was getting completed. The astronauts and workers residing in the completed sectors, had been undergoing rigorous tests involving space travel. To Infinity and Beyond! Many loved bouncing in the air without Hertfilia's gravity holding them down. Landon and several Royals also became training for the great Launch day when man will head to space. What? Do you think Landon didn't want to plant his flag on the moon? Naive!!! Of course, Landon won't be selfish. Astronauts from other UN countries can also plant their flags on the moon, but it must be after he plants his. So give him 1 minute to plant his before you do yours. Everything they'll do will be broadcasted live and would be a great show to the viewers back on Hertfilia. Project NASA construction was going great, and the Spider builders were also great in building the satellite they will send high out into space alongside the rocket. And yes, Landon was able to improve metal strength from 60% to 71%. The satellite is like a big rocket that needs the rocket's velocity to launch into space. Once in space, it detaches itself from the rocket. All in all, the aunt of September proved to be a busy one right from the start. Hooray!!!~

Labor day was here!

(^0^)

Labor day began, and several people had another vacation day up their sleeves. But while others thought of vacationing out, others were departing Baymard's shores for other unique reasons.

Staring at Baymard's silhouette that was growing smaller and smaller, several people now had a new found respect and awe for their master... the one who called herself Female Phantom Rebel King!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
