Looking at the runes on the pillars, Long Yangjun's eyes became particularly thoughtful.
The runes that were glittering in blue light emitted starry blue light deep inside her eyes, before they were connected into thin lines.
The thin lines bounced like the strings of a piano. Long Yangjun was caught in a drowsy and ignorant state.
As if attracted by a certain amazing force, she mumbled a spiritual language that Li Yao could not understand, which seemed to be dozens of overlapping syllables and spreading out like three-dimensional ripples. Hum! Hum!
Hum! Hum! Hum!
As Long Yangjun's mumbling grew faster and faster, and the frequency was higher and higher, the entire bridge was like a forest that had just woken up. Feeble but clear spiritual waves were coming over.
Something amazing happened.
The array of pillars in front of Long Yangjun was truly like a tree. Flames of spiritual energy flowed out of the gaps of the spiritual stripes, and the flames of spiritual energy were condensed into synapses that looked like branches.
Countless translucent synapses of spiritual energy spread out, like a tree that was stretching its body and growing branches, becoming luxuriant at a visible speed.
Several of the synapses slowly rolled to Long Yangjun's head like the hands of a human being. Two light balls that looked like buds blossomed at the ends of the synapses, and hundreds of extremely thin threads of light grew out of the pistils of light inside and pierced into Long Yangjun's left and right suns softly.
Inside Long Yangjun's eyes, the blue threads were immediately entangled by almost a hundred glittering, bright gold threads.
The blue threads and the light threads intertwined, touched, and collided with each other, bursting out infinite brilliant sparks.
Li Yao observed nearby and could not help but admire the mysteriousness of the Nuwa Clan's techniques.
No wonder the design of the bridge was vastly different from that of the warships of human beings.
It was because the Nuwa warship was, in fact, a joint force of multiple species. The sizes of different species were vastly different. Some of them were around eight meters tall, like the Nuwa Clan, and some were around 1.6 meters tall, like human beings. Chances were that some of the alien species were dozens of meters tall, and some were around half a meter tall, like human beings. Chances were that some of them were even dozens of meters tall.
If they were all unified into the most suitable method of manipulation for one race, then the other races would be in an awkward position.
Through the hundreds of crystal pillars in arrays, the problem could be resolved to the greatest extent by directly exchanging brainwaves with the spiritual energy as threads of light.
Li Yao suddenly thought of something. Did such a warship control pattern indicate that the other species other than the Nuwa Clan were equally important in the Nuwa Alliance, and that the Nuwa Clan treated the vassal species as equals?
Long Yangjun's eyes glittered.
She and the "tree of light" in front of her were having a deep exchange of thoughts and issuing orders.
Suddenly, her eyeballs were like two high-powered light bulbs, turning almost white in an instant. Thousands of electric arcs and light threads were released from them.
As her eyes soared, the tree of light in front of her also unleashed thousands of light arcs that flowed to the other crystal pillars nearby. A chain reaction was immediately raised. The twenty or so crystal pillars nearby were all woken up, extending countless branches of light arcs. Every 'branch' was filled with clusters of light that looked like buds. Many of the clusters of light blossomed slowly, revealing the shivering 'stamens of light'.
Li Yao felt that he was at the bottom of an ocean of light.
The twenty or so crystal pillars around seemed to have turned into the glittering, colorful seaweed and anemones at the bottom of the ocean.
The clusters of light that were expanding gradually became longer and longer as they danced in the wind, as if they were some sort of luminous jellyfish.
Li Yao estimated that every 'flower of light' represented an operation post on the Nuwa warship. As long as one's brain was connected to the light threads, they would be able to manipulate the warship with their telepathic thoughts.
"I have a weird feeling."
Long Yangjun seemed to be both mumbling and sighing in great comfort. "I feel that I have been melted with the warship. The warship is my body. I don't need to know the specific control methods at all, nor do I need to activate any interface. I can control the warship as easily as I can control my breath, heartbeat, and nerves. Hmm …"
Her eyelids shivered, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
"The warship has been seriously damaged. Most of the cabins have problems. It's like all the bones in my body have been broken, and my internal organs have been burnt, but I'm only maintaining the integrity on the surface."
Long Yangjun gnashed her teeth. "Even the giant glowing pillars, of which there are one hundred and eighty-eight in total, can only activate twenty-four of them. I can only recover ten to twenty percent of my computational ability and control ability."
"It hurts. I feel — it hurts so much."
"Hu. Hu. I — I want to try to activate the warship with the maximum spiritual energy and see if I can break the hibernation state and enter a certain state of self-healing."
Her teeth bit her lips hard, and her eyeballs were shivering rapidly. Even her plump body was shivering slightly.
"Wait."
Li Yao's heart pounded heavily.
"What's wrong?"
Long Yangjun managed to extricate herself from the mysterious state of 'melding with the warship' and stopped moving for now.
"You can't do that."
Li Yao thought of a critical point. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. "Don't forget that something probably happened a hundred years ago, which led to your ejection from the Nuwa warship. In the meantime, the Nuwa warship sent a mysterious signal to my world.
"If the 'something' was caused by a certain person or a certain force, it is very likely that the person is still on the Nuwa warship or monitoring the situation on the Nuwa warship in secret in a certain way.
"Right now, we have just entered the bridge and woken up part of the pillar-shaped crystal processors. There shouldn't be much influence on the warship itself. Even if there is some minor influence, it will probably be covered by the chaotic battle of the thousands of middle- and senior-level Cultivators outside."
"However, if you completely activate the Nuwa warship and someone is really hiding in the darkness, he or she will certainly discover the secrets on the bridge."
Long Yangjun was slightly dazed. Cold sweat was popping up on her forehead, too. "Fair enough. It is very likely that someone even more dreadful than Emperor Phoenix Zhu Zongyou is lurking on the Nuwa warship. If we act recklessly, we will be walking right into their trap."
Even if our fears are groundless, there is no such force. "
Li Yao continued. "Should the thousands of Cultivators outside notice the anomaly of the warship and follow the clues to this place, there is no telling whether or not the gate that has been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years can stop them.
"After all, there are dozens of Yuanying Cultivators and hundreds of Core Formation Stage Cultivators outside. If they go crazy, even the most solid warship can be dismantled by them.
"Even if they can't dismantle it, as long as they block the exit, we can't hide inside for the rest of our lives.
"Therefore, until we figure out the situation outside and have everything under control, we'd better not make any reckless attempts. After all, nobody knows how damaged the warship is or what the consequences of your orders will be."
Long Yangjun said solemnly, "You are very prudent. Then, what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"
"Let's do that."
Li Yao took a few deep breaths. He opened his mouth and rubbed the two suns with his thumb and middle finger. He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if the Nuwa warship boasts such techniques, but theoretically speaking, it should. You can give it a try first.
"Firstly, see if you can activate the internal surveillance system of the entire warship with the columnar array crystal processor in the hibernation state. Through the crystal cameras and probes deployed everywhere in the cabins, you will know what is happening inside the cabins.
"Secondly, see if there are teleportation arrays in the bridge that lead to the central cabins. Also, find out whether or not the teleportation arrays can still be activated after hundreds of thousands of years of hibernation.
"The two techniques are both must-have functions on general super-large warships. With the advanced technology of the Nuwa Clan, there's no reason that they don't exist."
Pondering for a moment, Long Yangjun nodded heavily. "Fair enough. After activating the two techniques, we will have countless eyes that are distributed everywhere on the warship and a pair of wings that will allow us to reach any part of the warship."
Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! On the ten or so crystal pillars nearby, the branches of flames interweaved nonstop. Quite a few 'buds' blossomed, delivering the pistils of light to Long Yangjun's hands and entangling her ten fingers.
Long Yangjun's fingers seemed to be playing the strings of a piano softly. They moved faster and faster until they turned into a hazy mist of light.
Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her towering chest trembled. Even the beads of sweat that seeped out of her skin became sparkling and translucent, like sparkling pearls.
"Found it."
Long Yangjun's voice seemed to be echoing from a deep world that was very far away. She suddenly clenched her hands hard, grabbing countless threads of light in her palms. Then, she released them brutally, and her telepathic thoughts were transmitted to the twenty-four crystal pillars through the hundred threads of light like ripples.
The pillar-shaped crystal processors were flickering, as if they were performing high-load calculations. The ripples of spiritual energy in the air were even more intense than before. A moment later, a hundred branches of spiritual energy dangled down from the sky. At the end of the branches was a shivering expansion that unfolded like a flower, turning into a hundred 3D light beams.
White flames of light appeared on the light beams at first and gradually became clear. As it turned out, the surveillance pictures of hundreds of different scenes inside and outside the Nuwa warship were displayed.
"You were right. There are indeed surveillance cameras scattered everywhere on the warship. Also, their activation level is very high. They can be activated even when the warship is in the hibernation state."
Long Yangjun exclaimed in a low voice, "It's a pity that most of the surveillance cameras have been damaged, or they require more luminous pillars and a higher computational ability to be activated. That's all we can see."
"Hehe. The legendary double monthly votes for National Day has finally begun. Last month, under the joint efforts of all the brothers and sisters, we achieved quite a good result.
Let's see if we can make another push forward this month. "
