Now that the first batch of personnel to land on the moon have all arrived, Li Xingkong can begin the relevant modification project.
For this first group of people, the physical modifications they were to undergo were different from those for Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng and Wu Ting were his friends, and the previous modifications were made so that they could embark on the path of cultivation ahead of time.
The transformation was carried out entirely according to the structure of Qi Refining Technique, so that even if they later mastered the Qi Refining Method and began to cultivate on their own, they could seamlessly integrate into the process.
The focus of this group's modifications was different. Their main goal was to enable them to survive unimpeded on the lunar surface. Therefore, compared to other groups, their modifications were more practical. In other words, their modifications only needed to ensure that they could use Vacuum Technique and maintain normal physiological functions through solar energy.
There's no need to enhance physical attributes or construct other Magic Power structures.
If Tang Cheng could be considered a cultivator who had received a profound enlightenment, then this group of people could only be considered modified humans.
They don't even qualify as cultivators.
However, there are advantages to modifying humans. The biggest advantage is that it is much simpler and doesn't take too much time.
One morning was enough time to complete the modifications for each of these people.
There's no time like the present. Since everyone is here today, Li Xingkong might as well take advantage of this time and arrange the body modifications for them first.
The main point is that this modification step requires nothing; all that's needed is for Li Xingkong to be there. No other preparations are required.
"I feel full of energy."
As the last person climbed out of the conversion bed, pumped his fist, and felt the energy filling his body under the sunlight, the conversion work for the first group of lunar landing personnel was completed.
"I feel like I really don't need to breathe anymore."
After the renovation, everyone crowded around the few windows in the training room, enjoying the comfort of the sunlight. Some of the girls even tried holding their breath, wanting to see if they could really stop breathing.
After holding her breath for a while, one of them finally spoke, saying that she hadn't felt any discomfort despite holding her breath for so long.
"Your idea that you don't need to breathe is just an illusion; you still can't live without breathing."
Li Xingkong explained in a timely manner that they could simply form an invisible membrane around their bodies under the effect of Vacuum Technique, isolating themselves from the exchange of gases with the outside world, so that the gas they inhaled and exhaled would not leak out.
Based on the principles of Qi Refining Method and photosynthesis, in addition to breathing, they can also perform photosynthesis to reduce carbon dioxide into oxygen.
In other words, although they still need to breathe, they can circulate through this single breath without needing to exchange gases with the outside world.
This Vacuum Technique is a spell developed by Li Xingkong based on the Water Repelling Art, which works in a vacuum environment.
"Now that we can breathe like animals and photosynthesize like plants, would we be considered vegetative state patients?"
"What a ridiculous joke, it's ridiculous."
Some people are constantly trying out new physical abilities, and some have even started making idiotic comments.
"I think we can test it in a simulated vacuum environment first, to see if you can survive in a vacuum now. After all, everyone's physical condition is different, and the effects of the modification will also be different."
For Li Xingkong, this group of modified people were not only excellent tools, but also very important experimental data.
Li Xingkong still needs to closely observe their various abilities to see if any other problems may arise.
After all, this is the second time I've done this, so I have to take full responsibility.
"Okay, let's begin the vacuum test now."
Li Xingkong clearly didn't consider himself a leader yet; his words showed absolutely no airs of authority.
Having witnessed Li Xingkong's extraordinary abilities, they were now absolutely certain that Li Xingkong was their superior.
When they first arrived at the assembly point, some people might have been resentful, but they had no choice but to work under Li Xingkong because of orders. However, after undergoing the physical transformation, no one questioned him anymore.
That ability alone is enough to impress them.
They had already taken Li Xingkong's suggestion as an order.
Simulating a vacuum environment is currently only possible with small devices on Earth; it's impossible to create a vacuum chamber the size of an entire room.
This small device can only accommodate one person at most. It was originally designed to train astronauts, so it doesn't need to be too big. As long as an astronaut in a spacesuit can make small movements, it has achieved its purpose.
Therefore, when the instrument was started, these dozen or so people had not yet conducted vacuum environment tests simultaneously; they had to do it one by one.
"Let me demonstrate for everyone."
After running for a while, the instrument reached a state where it could operate normally, and at this moment Tang Cheng stepped forward first.
The Vacuum Technique on him had already been completed, and Tang Cheng had tested it several times in this vacuum environment. But with so many newcomers this time, as a senior, he felt it was necessary for him to demonstrate.
After all, ordinary people would be doomed in a vacuum environment, and it is difficult for newcomers to overcome the fear of death.
But with him setting an example, things are different; that fear is greatly diluted.
When the air pressure indicator on the dashboard started displaying a warning, Tang Cheng walked to an iron door next to the device.
This is the entrance to the vacuum chamber. The iron door has two layers. After opening the outer door and entering between the two doors, the inner door will not open immediately. Instead, the gas between the two doors will be extracted first.
Once the gas between the two doors has been mostly removed, the inner door will open, allowing people to enter the actual vacuum chamber.
The vacuum chamber is only about 5 square meters in size, so you can't do any strenuous exercise inside. You can throw a few punches, spin around, and jump a few times, and that's about it.
He grasped the round switch in the center of the outer door, turned it a few times, opened the door, Tang Cheng walked straight in.
After he went inside, he pressed the corresponding button on the back of the door, at which point the outer door began to close automatically, and the air between the two doors was quickly extracted.
After a short wait for the gas to be extracted, the light on the inner door came on.
This meant he could enter the vacuum chamber, so Tang Cheng calmly stepped forward and turned on the inner door.
Although there was very little gas between the two doors, it was not a vacuum. So, the moment the doors opened, Tang Cheng felt a sudden gust of wind rushing into the vacuum chamber from behind him.
After he entered the vacuum chamber and closed the door, the chamber began to be pumped out a second time. Tang Cheng stood in the middle of the chamber, looking out at the people through a thin pane of glass.
