Within a small Space Laboratory roughly fifty meters long in Luoshen Star's orbital path, several clones carefully controlled equipment floating in zero gravity.

Some Silicon Dioxide that had already undergone extensive purification on Luoshen Star's surface was melted down here once more for further refinement.

At the same time, special additives were mixed in, such as certain inorganic salts and alkaline oxides.

Once every process was complete, the massive piece of glass began to "grow" in zero gravity.

Free from gravitational interference and in a high-vacuum environment, it could "grow" exceptionally flat and smooth, without the slightest curvature, and could be made extremely large.

That meant it would possess superior optical performance.

After the initial processing was complete, more meticulous work followed, such as polishing and coating.

After more than ten days of work, Li Qingsong finally produced the first primary mirror for a Space Telescope.

Without wasting any time, Li Qingsong immediately removed it and installed it, along with several secondary mirrors, into a telescope tube that had been manufactured in advance.

Thus, a Space Telescope operating in Luoshen Star's orbital path was completed.

Ignoring the Technological Level of its other components and considering the mirror quality alone, it had already reached the highest standards of the national era in the human world, roughly equivalent to the famed James Webb Space Telescope.

Of course, that did not mean Li Qingsong's technological capabilities had reached that level.

The reason this was possible was simply because Luoshen Star made it incredibly convenient to enter space.

Here, Li Qingsong could manufacture the mirrors directly in space and install them there, unlike on Earth, where they had to be produced on the ground, cut apart because rockets lacked sufficient space, and then reassembled in space—a tremendously troublesome process.

At this moment, the first
