Ling Xiao Space Station.
This was Huaxia's first space station to be permanently occupied in space. The first Lingxiao Core Module was launched in 2020, and after the International Space Station retired in 2022, Ling Xiao had taken shape, becoming the only space station in orbit, completed by Huaxia through its own efforts.

Ling Xiao was independently manufactured by Huaxia. Its size and interior space were both smaller than those of the International Space Station, and for the time being, it could only accommodate three astronauts conducting permanent experimental research.
The three astronauts would rotate back to Earth after a period of time, allowing new astronauts to move in and continue the research.
Of the astronauts currently stationed on the space station, two were Huaxia astronauts and one was a Russian astronaut. In addition, there was a special Intelligent Robot stationed there as well.
Inside the Lingxiao Core Module, the sixteen-cubic-meter space was not cramped. It was more than spacious enough for three astronauts.
At that moment, all three were following the news transmitted from the ground.
The Shennv was about to deliver supplies and experimental materials.
As the customers waiting to receive their delivery, they had received the news a week earlier, when the Academy of Sciences Space Research Institute and Ant Army Group reached a partnership.
Today was the day the Shennv launched into space, and the three astronauts watched the livestream from start to finish.

In space, exercise was essential to prevent muscle degeneration and atrophy. Whenever he had spare time, he would train a little.
He was the first astronaut to be stationed on the space
