With the systematic graduation assessment, Li Xingkong put even more effort into his cultivation, spending more than 80% of his time on it every day.

He entered a state of seclusion and spiritual practice, oblivious to worldly affairs, spending his days solely focused on spiritual cultivation.

After Li Xingkong entered this state, no one at the base bothered him. He only occasionally encountered other people during the morning and evening meal times. Most of the time, Li Xingkong stayed in the cultivation room, pondering his cultivation.

Even after a month of this endless seclusion, someone still came to visit him.

He had gained a lot from a month of cultivation, but it was still far from achieving his expected goals. However, the matter of finding him was quite important, and it was worth delaying for him for a while.

What could possibly concern Li Xingkong wouldn't be some trivial matter. The main reason for bothering him this time was that the first batch of lunar landing crew members were ready, and the rocket modifications were also complete.

Their scheduled lunar landing is today, and this lunar landing is of great historical significance. As a participant in this project, Li Xingkong naturally needs to attend the launch ceremony.

Besides attending the launch, Li Xingkong also played another role: in case the rocket encountered any problems, his presence would provide a chance to save it. In other words, he was the last resort for ensuring the success of this rocket launch.

Although the probability of such a thing happening is very small, it's always good to be prepared.

This lunar landing involved only the first group of 14 people, whose mission was to build a preliminary base at a designated location on the far side of the moon.

The base was originally planned to be located inside a lunar cave, but due to Li Xingkong's involvement and the availability of clear experimental data on the results of the modifications made by this group of personnel, the location was eventually moved out of the cave.

The chosen site was a plain next to the original location, and this entire plain was located inside a large crater on the far side of the moon, which was formed by a meteorite impact.

Along with them, a large amount of basic construction materials were also taken up to the moon. Although they couldn't carry too much, these materials were enough to build a temporary settlement on the moon.

After all, a space station weighs only about 400 tons, which is enough for astronauts to live on for a long time. And since the space station is in space, there are far more things to consider than with a lunar base.

" Brother Li, we're going to land on the moon today."

It was Tang Cheng who came to find Li Xingkong. He looked excited and was holding a rather thick book in his hands.

"So soon, today?"

"Yes, it's about to launch, and I didn't see you anywhere, so I came specifically to find you."

In Tang Cheng's view, this matter was indeed quite important, and Li Xingkong should have been present at such a scene.

"Come on, why didn't you tell me beforehand? I definitely had to see you off."

Li Xingkong stopped his cultivation and led Tang Cheng towards the location of the rocket launch ship.

"I only came here because I saw how busy you've been these past few days. Brother Lou specifically said that no one is allowed to bother you. If it weren't for the special circumstances today, I wouldn't have dared to come looking for you."

No wonder Li Xingkong noticed that after he went into seclusion, all the people who used to come to see him stopped, and even no one else came to his cultivation room. It turned out that Lou Zhiwu had stopped them.

Otherwise, how could someone reach such a high position at such a young age? This keen observational ability is something others could learn over a long period of time.

Li Xingkong was traveling with Tang Cheng, which was much faster than walking on his own. In particular, Li Xingkong had already mastered the Cloud Falling Spell to a certain level. He appeared to be running close to the ground, but in reality, his feet hadn't even touched the ground.

It floated forward, close to the ground the entire time.

In less than half a minute, Li Xingkong had brought Tang Cheng to the ship, and by then the port was already gradually filling up with people.

One group consisted of the ship's crew, conducting a final pre-launch check, while the other group comprised the navy from Wanli Shitang. They had never witnessed a launch from the sea before and were fortunate enough to be there to watch. Essentially everyone on the island came to observe.

Li Xingkong carried Tang Cheng past the observation team and went straight to the lunar landing team that was gathering under the ship before putting Tang Cheng down.

The crew that landed on the moon are already changing into their spacesuits. Although they can survive in a vacuum, the vacuum on the moon is just one of many survival challenges, and many other difficulties await them.

Moreover, the current tests have only been conducted on the surface of Earth Star, and have not yet been carried out in actual combat in space.

It is essential to protect them before actual combat, as each of them is a valuable talent and their protective measures cannot be ignored.

They weren't surprised to see Li Xingkong appear before them in a few flashes.

After all, they had been living at this base for quite some time and had witnessed Li Xingkong's various extraordinary abilities many times.

In their eyes, Li Xingkong was no different from some gods or aliens; it seemed there was nothing he couldn't do.

After greeting everyone, Li Xingkong found a relatively close spot at the front and began to observe the entire process.

The on-site inspection staff have begun to evacuate in batches, while the lunar landing personnel have begun to take the elevator into the launch vehicle.

There were also many staff members inside the launch vehicle. After the lunar landing personnel entered, they locked them into the personnel carriers one by one.

The numerous safety ropes secured the lunar crew inside, ensuring that even if the rocket made a huge noise, the crew would not be involved in any collisions.

After confirming that all safety measures were in place, the staff exited the launch vehicle one by one. The final preparations for the rocket launch were thus completed.

Li Xingkong watched from the ground for a while and saw that most of the staff had left. He guessed that the rocket was about to launch. He originally planned to retreat to a safe distance with the crowd to watch the rocket take off, but during the evacuation, he suddenly had a different idea.

Although I won't be going to the moon this time, I can still take advantage of this rocket launch to go for a quick trip into space.

To this day, his cultivation is still stuck in the stage of working in isolation. Although his strength is constantly improving and he is slowly getting closer to his goal, he has never actually been to outer space.

The goal was to go to the moon, and I spent a lot of time preparing, but it turns out I've never even been to space. Thinking about it, my preparation was still somewhat inadequate.

This rocket launch is a good opportunity for me to get used to the space environment beforehand.

After all, if you haven't been there in person, there will always be problems you haven't considered. Only by going there in person will you discover many small issues.
