Chapter 1843 Mirvanna's Future

"Alright, while we're at it, let's talk once more about your plans." Everyone nodded with stoic expressions, waiting for Landon to continue. "I'm sure by now, you all are aware of the 3 main semester systems used in Baymard." Winter semester: January 5th - April 20th (3 months, 3 weeks) Summer semester: April 26th - July 31st. (3 months, a few days)

Fall semester: August 3 - November 25th. (3 months, 3 weeks.)

Mind you, the semester periods also include the times they will write the final examinations for the semester. That said, the frost week of April was just next week, meaning cla.s.ses will soon end within the first week of April, and then the students will get 4 days of rest before writing exams till April 20th. April 20th is the latest time frame for any exam to be held. Landon ma.s.saged his chin thoughtfully. For this year, Landon didn't want them to partake in any school activities just yet. It's best they first study with the Baymardian teachers he will send with them. He expected the selected students toreturn sometime in early December to first familiarize themselves with Baymard, find their sleeping accommodations and then start school in the upcoming winter Term that starts around the first week of January. Bilthozar, the chosen one and heir, nodded in agreement, "Father, I agree with brother Landon. What we must do now, is to ensure everyone else has a solid background in Pyron before we can bring them over."

"Yes, your majesty, the heir and spits wisdom," Amrous said, stroking his goatee. Rather, until December, they should focus on building stronger relations with Baymard, as well as putting everything in place for their people who will soon be frequent visitors of Baymard. For one, they have to stabilize trade between both empires, and first open the door for their merchants who will become frequent travelers here. Additionally, they have to prepare an area similar to Baymard's Landport, were goods can arrive and get dispatched frequently. Whether it's writing letters and sending them between both empires, or even delivering good and import products, they need a good Landport and seaport to deal with all these matters. Think about it. When goods are transported via air and then land in the port, they are stored in Baymard's Landports and even in other official port buildings in Pyno and in several allied empires. From there, everything is recorded and people can then come over to retrieve the goods. In a way, the ports also act as Post offices too. Everything has order. Without order, there is only chaos. Since solely traveling by s.h.i.+p is impossible for them in Mirvanna, who were surrounded by those crazy waters, winds and whirlpools, it means their departures and arrivals will take longer than usual. When the Cruise s.h.i.+ps arrive in the waters just before the Mating Zone, they will have to stay 2~5 days in their waters, waiting for all goods and heavy items to first get sent to Mirvanna's Port via air travel. Only after everything luggages and cargoes are emptied out and recorded accurately, will they be taken via air into Mirvanna. And about 3 hours after all pa.s.sengers have left and all luggages deboarded the s.h.i.+ps will begin to clean up and equipment checks for another 2 days. Following which, cargo will then get boarded into the s.h.i.+p. Then, more Mirvs will appear to settle down on the s.h.i.+ps for their trip to Baymard. For now, this is the way things will have to operate. .

Amrous and everyone else had already looked at the schedule Landon had made up for Bay- Mirvanna Cruise travels. There will be 40 Cruise s.h.i.+ps dedicated to Mirvanna's cause. On Sat.u.r.days and Sundays, 3 Cruise lines will leave Mirvanna and head back to Baymard (2 on Sundays and 1 on Sat.u.r.days).

On Wednesday and Thursdays, 3 will return to Mirvanna. Bear in mind that the deboarding/boarding, cleanup, and total trip for one destination, will take at most 1 month and 1 week. And the week after that, another 4 s.h.i.+ps will have to go, and so on and so forth. So when the first s.h.i.+ps go then next week, another 4 s.h.i.+ps will have to go. And if there are any delays, expect it to arrive in 1 month and 1 week. Now, it takes 1 month, 1 week between each location.

Then 2 or 3 days of cleanup and fast inspections, before taking another 1 month, 1 week to return back to Mirvanna with new pa.s.sengers. So this means after 2 months, 2 weeks, the first s.h.i.+p would have made a full cycle back and forth. . 2 months, 2 weeks is 10 weeks. And each week, 3 s.h.i.+ps are expected to arrive and carry the Mirvs away. So before the first s.h.i.+p returns on the 10th week, they must have enough s.h.i.+ps to fill up the gap between week 1 to 10. In essence, Landon calculated that he needed 310 s.h.i.+ps (30 s.h.i.+ps). And of course, he would like the first batch of s.h.i.+ps to take longer check durations in Baymard before heading out again. And, he would like for the cruise to also have 2 weeks of vacation when they return. So rather than dedicating 30 s.h.i.+ps for Mirvanna's cause, he chose to reduce 40. With 40 s.h.i.+ps, it eases out the pressure and ensures everyone can get a holiday after traveling for long periods. Understand that when the crew leaves Baymard's sh.o.r.es, they will go back and forth, returning to Baymard in 2 months, 2 weeks again. So of course a vacation was in order. (*^*)

.

Understand that the average capacity of a cruise s.h.i.+p is around 3,000 guests, but larger s.h.i.+ps can accommodate over 6,000 pa.s.sengers. Take for example the Royal Caribbean's 'Icon of the Seas' back in Landon's former world, was set to carry nearly 10,000 people when it launched. Anyway, Landon planned to only use ma.s.sive Cruise s.h.i.+ps to carry the Mirvs, since they only have 3 s.h.i.+ps leaving Mirvanna every week. Other empires like Carona, had 10 to 12 s.h.i.+ps leaving every week though, the cruisers they used did vary in size, with some only able to carry 4,000 and others only able to carry 3000 guests. For the Mirvs, although only 3 s.h.i.+ps will leave a week at a time, Landon ensured they got the largest Cruise sizes. And to top it all off, all their cruisers dedicated to them were built with newly enhanced metals, making them super st.u.r.dy and safe, just in case anything happens along their crazy waters. Listening to Landon, everyone was pleased. Who didn't want to ride on the biggest and mightiest s.h.i.+ps of all?
