Chapter 471 Code Name: Houston, We Have A Problem!

nStilt skin, Rudolf and their families all had a good time talking to one another merrily.
nIn fact, the entire place was currently filled with people using all 150 phones within the room.
nThey could only stay on the phones for a maximum of 5 minutes, so as to give others a chance to use them.
nWithin that time, they had to learn how to save their voicemails, learn how to do party lines, learn how to call 911 and so on.
nAnd so everyone tried their best to learn all they could.
nAs for the workers next to the phones, they all smiled proudly, while listening to everyone get excited.
nEven those from other empires, couldn't help but get overly excited as well.
nAnd this in itself was a historical moment, those from the museum were on it like lightning... As well as the news reporters too.
nIn short, today was a very thrilling day for everyone.
nAnd just like that..... Landlines had come into existence within the Hertfilian world.
n.
nLandon, the board of directors and their families had already finished looking around... and were now eating and talking within one of the massive offices on the second floor of the building.
nIn there, their families were also learning how to use the phones as well.
nOf course as esteemed guests, they had VIP treatment while within the event.
n
"Elder brother Landon... My room will have the Mulan phone right?
"
n
"Of course!
nWhen have I ever lied to you?
nTrust me... Soon enough, they would come over to install it in your room later on.
nSo just be patient.
"
nEveryone was having a good time, when suddenly... One of the guards who was stationed around the second floor quickly came in and whispered into Landon's ears, as well as Lucius' ears too.
nWith that, they quickly left everyone and followed the guard outside.
nThere, they saw 2 soldiers standing there as still as statues.
nTheir expressions we're heavy, and one could also see a faint trace of anger that had been suppressed underneath their whole facade.
nThe soldiers first saluted Landon and Livius, before thanking the guard.
nAnd once the guard left, their expressions grew even heavier.
n
"Your majesty... King-Father Army General Lucius... it's bad.
nIt's Code Name: Houston, we have a problem.
"
n
"_
"
n.
nLandon and Lucius hopped into the army car that brought the 2 men here, and headed towards the Coastal region as quickly as possible.
nAnd while in the car, the 2 men began explaining the situation to them in detail without leaving any bit of information out.
n
"Captains.....How did this happen?
"
n
"Your majesty!
nIt's like this.....
"
nAnd just like that, the men began recounting all that they knew about the incident.
nApparently, during a normal routine check for those exiting the port.... they had found a detailed document that listed several names within the military, as well as a detailed list of weapons Baymard currently had too.
nOf course the document didn't say how these weapons were made, as only those within the weapon manufacturing industry would know how they were made.
nOnly those working in the lower region weapon sector would know about what chemicals, sealants and compounds would be used..... as well as the pressure, temperature, protective casings, reactions and order in which they built or made.
nBut even though its manufacturing methods weren't mentioned, information on how to set up the weapons was also written in detail too.
nFor example how to reload a gun and even how to fire the cannons were recorded down there as well.
nAnd from the looks of it, the person who had given out the information... also wrote that he needed more time, so as to get the exact manufacturing methods of all weapons here.
n
n
nWith everything that they had gathered, for sure.... it had to be someone within the army.
nAnd it was because of cases like these, that Landon had made sure to place those detectors and scanners in the ports.
n.
nThe current airport X-ray scanners produced images in orange, blue and green..... with each colour related to a material category.
nOrange showed organic material like food and paper, green showed medium-dense non-organic materials like plastic bottles..... and blue meant metals or hard plastics.
nMany people thought that the workers on the ports would only check metal.
nBut that was a lie.
nThey would check for paper as well.
nBecause once it passes through the x-ray scanner, the shape and image shown to them... can even show them if the object is crumpled paper or not, as paper would be rectangular, bananas would have their own shapes and so on.
nSo with this in mind, they could spot any documents there immediately.
nAnd from there, they would open the bags and pull out the paper from its hiding place and loom over it carefully.
nAnd while this was going on, the people were going through body scanners and checks too.
n.
nSo many spies might've actually thought that they could get away with it.... but that was a lie!
nUntil the entire world was unified.... all baggage and personal items would be checked for incriminating documents too.
nThe man that they had caught.....probably didn't dare to hide the documents on his body, since he knew that he would be searched anyway.
nSo he probably assumed that since they were only checking for metal, he would be safe.
nBut of course, that wasn't the case.
nSecurity procedures, as well as what the security officers did at the ports..... had nothing to do with the soldiers, police officers, Marines, Navy, Coastal guards, and all other military officials.
nSo everything people knew about what and how they security guards checked and operated in the ports.... were all assumed through their own observations and hearsays.
nHence in the end, even the traitor himself or herself, might've also thought that they only checked metal objects within the ports.
nIn fact, they probably didn't even know that even liquid poison and other harmful things were also checked and sniffed away by the dogs too.
