The Ark giant ship rumbled with machinery. Its ancient steel shell, which had a history of ten thousand years, slowly unfolded under the push of powerful mechanical arms. The city inside the ship, pressed against the inner wall of the spherical shell, gradually emerged during this magnificent transformation. As the ship's outer shell slowly split into more than a dozen curved sections and extended to both sides, the ancient city within it began to break apart as well. Maintained by the artificial gravity system, it steadily adjusted its position in midair and descended toward the sea. The enormous structures at both ends of the Ark had now touched the water. Occupying the two ends of the city, they ultimately transformed into two sea islands connected to it. One island held the magnificent Ancestor's Great Furnace—the central reactor—while the other was crowned by a series of spectacular steel towers. These towers had once been called the Giants' Noses. They were the city's Control Center.
Throughout the Ark's unfolding, everyone had been holding their breath. The force generated by such enormous mechanical activity was astonishing. Only the cooperation of hundreds or thousands of safety systems could ensure the residents' safety. If the slightest malfunction occurred during the unfolding, countless people would be thrown into a life-or-death crisis. Hao Ren could even see the people moving about in the Ark fleet's city from here.
