There was a bridge on the Qi Ming, where its central control hub was located. Once the hub was refined, one could completely take control of the ship.
Fan Lang had coveted this ship for a long time. At last, he saw hope.
He had just obtained Jia Mu Lan's token. It carried very high authorization, capable of opening every door on the ship and controlling its various mechanisms, allowing him to avoid all manner of dangers.
The rest of the way was completely unobstructed. He and Jia Mu Lan arrived before the bridge door, and he raised the token in his hand, giving the lock on the door a light wave. The door immediately opened.
The bridge was a world unto itself, as large as a palace and forged entirely from metal, giving it a distinctly mechanical feel.
The entire bridge had a ring-shaped structure. A platform floated at its center, serving as both the control console and the central hub of the whole ship.
"Go over and refine it. Then you'll be able to control the Qi Ming as you please. This is a Seventeen-Star Rank starship. A low-level star like yours could never build something like it. The Qi Ming failed to bring my people new life. I hope it brings you good fortune instead." Jia Mu Lan looked at the console and sighed.
"I'll take your good wishes." Fan Lang jumped onto the console, pressed his hand against a metal sphere, and began refining it.
Jia Mu Lan drifted up like smoke and guided Fan Lang from the side, telling him how to refine it.
Fan Lang followed her instructions, making rapid progress as he gradually conquered the central hub.
The system displayed a corresponding progress bar. Every increase was exhilarating.
