Xia Shenyi and Zhao Ying walked towards the front door, which was thicker, and seemed to withstand any large attacks.
"Hm, this must be the control room for this ark." As she muttered, she glanced at the biometric verification panel near the door.
Zhao Ying also noticed that and uttered "Only Tian'er can enter now?"
With a shake of her head, Xia Shenyi spoke "No, this ark seems new, so there must be no biometric locks applied yet."
She pressed the blue button, which is above the biometric panel and the sturdy door slid open.
"Woah..."
Zhao Ying stepped inside cautiously, her breath catching at the sight before her. The control room was larger than she had expected, with a curved, panoramic window offering a breathtaking view of the lake they were in.
She was quite amazed by the futuristic setting of the control room.
Rows of sleek, high-tech control panels lined the walls, each one lit with glowing buttons, levers, and holographic interfaces.
Floating consoles projected three-dimensional models of the ark's systems, from its engines to its navigation routes.
In the center of the room, a massive holographic display showed a rotating image of the ark itself, detailing every section in minute detail.
Zhao Ying's eyes were wide with wonder. "I've never seen anything like this," she whispered, stepping forward curiously.
She glanced down at her naked body which is still wet with lingering waterdrops and uttered "It is okay to step here wet, right?"
"It should be okay..."
Xia Shenyi walked to the rotating holographic image of the ark and raised her hand, as she gestured her finger to zoom in the ark's structure.
Zhao Ying was dumbfounded to see such advanced technology and hurriedly walked near Xia Shenyi "Sister Shenyi... these High Stars are so advanced that us."
"Honestly, after seeing you, I thought the High Stars would be like old Chinese style... still using carriages and stuff like that."
Hearing this, Xia Shenyi let out a chuckle and shook her head "No, actually, our star is also quite like what you said... because the Emperor of our star refuses to accept the technological advances from other stars and he wants the star to be as if it is now."
"Not only our star... there are some other stars too, who like to live in that old style. Well, i also like that."
Zhao Ying shrugged her hands "It is really dumb to not accept the technology when it can make your life easier."
Looking at the holographic structure of the ark, Xia Shenyi replied "Oh, we do utilize some technology... like this ark, which is very essential to travel in space after all."
"Hm.. this must be it."
She began to type the name of her star on the keyboard "Ja.. de Ecli..pse Star."
As she clicked enter, the hologram of stars began to zoom into a galaxy as it zoomed even closer, ending in a blue-green star.
"Ohh, this is your home star, Sister Shenyi?"
With a soft smile, Xia Shenyi nodded her head "Yeah..."
Zhao Ying reached out and touched the blue green planet and the whole hologram disappeared as only the holo of the Jade Eclipse star appeared.
The details of the Jade Eclipse star began to appear beside the revolving star.
Looking at this, Zhao Ying was quite puzzled "Eh? Why is it not showing... how long it will take from here and what is the distance from here... the numbers are glitched."
Xia Shenyi replied "That is because the Ark's system can't register the current location it is in right now. So it is glitchy..."
"Ohhh..."
"This is really convenient for Tian. That secret lover did a good job. It is as if destiny called her to give this ark to him."
"Hahaha yeah..."
Xia Shenyi turned to look at the rows of control panels "Let's see what else is here..."
Zhao Ying went and pressed a button. *click* *feen* She heard a weird sound and looked around in confusion.
At this time, Xia Shenyi turned to look at the hologram of the arc and muttered "You turned on a defensive mechanism."
"The ark's outer shell is getting covered by a thick metal, but this will slow down the ark."
"Hoh, see that Sister Shenyi... we also have guns in this ark."
"Sitting on the driver seat, we can aim and shoot these guns at other arks."
"Wow, this is cool."
"Hehe, let's try even more buttons."
