As Qin practically stumbled into the control room,
a sweeping tableau of hardcore science fiction, blending steampunk with futuristic technology, slowly unfolded before the girl:
Beneath the towering ceiling,
intricate mechanical structures resembled a tangled neural network.
Antique gears, brass pipes, and massive steam turbines turned slowly, giving off the faint smell of steam and old grease.
Fiber-optic cables glowing with an azure glow, holographic projections, and precise quantum computer arrays interwove into a magnificent sight spanning eras.
But those computer arrays had clearly fallen dormant.
Only ancient instrument panels embedded in the walls and screens flashing with futuristic digits remained, preserving their final traces in an incredible coexistence.
But given the situation,
Qin, who had obtained the Sublimation Lineage: Knowledge - Ancient Scholar, had no time to examine it closely.
She merely walked to the central console, long covered in dust,
and gently brushed the dust away,
then began arranging the necessary equipment for connecting the neurons according to the information provided under her Scholar authorization.
First was the Ancient Astronomical Clock, which could automatically calibrate biological time and link to the cosmic ring outside the Star Tower.
Second was the Mechanical Arm that could remotely control the Star Tower's internal defense systems.
Last was the Deep Dormant Connection System.
At the same time,
at the entrance to this control room filled with a sense of overlapping time and space, several Nameless Ones soldiers stood guard with Energy Rifles.
The interwoven complex lights around them reflected off their armor, making them appear both cold and highly technological.
The other soldiers spread out around the entrance and critical positions, fully armed and ready.
Once everyone was in position, every Nameless Ones soldier bowed to the girl in acknowledgment:
(The guard units have all reached their assigned positions. Please rest assured,
