"Designated altitude reached. Jettison the escape tower."
"Escape tower separation successful!"
"Designated altitude reached. Booster separation... first-stage separation, fairing separation... second-stage main engine shutdown... spacecraft separation!"
"Service module solar panels deployed, solar orientation successful... orbital module solar panels deployed! Entering the preset low Earth orbit!"
The staff in the launch monitoring hall were constantly at work. Every reading and monitoring video feed indicated that the crewed rocket launch had been a complete success.
Meanwhile, lying in the crew capsule, Chen Jue only felt himself moving farther and farther from the earth.
Accompanied by the sounds of several rocket separations, the radiation from outer space that he had sensed when flying in planes grew increasingly intense.
However, shielded by his specially made spacesuit, only a very faint amount of space radiation could penetrate through to his body.
"Here it comes!"
"This is the feeling!"
"Negative radiation from outer space!" The instant Chen Jue sensed this negative radiation, he began circulating the Mortal World Golden Body Skill. His body, concealed beneath his spacesuit and Aerospace Combat Suit, took on a golden sheen.

The surface cells rapidly divided, transformed, and strengthened, then gradually adapted to coexist with this negative radiation. Meanwhile, Chen Jue watched the proficiency of his [Mortal World Golden Body Skill] continuously tick upward, +1 after +1.
Such external body-hardening skills needed outside stimulation to improve quickly in the first place, just as Chen Jue had needed rows of bricks to strike his body and grind proficiency when he first
