Although Li Xingkong's strength was indeed enough to throw this pile of space debris back to Earth Star, his current calculation ability was not very strong, and there were too many unknown variables. He didn't know his current distance from Earth Star, nor did he know Earth Star's rotation speed. It was still a question of where his kick would land.
Therefore, Li Xingkong did not rashly throw this pile of garbage directly onto Earth Star. If it hit a city, that would be quite bad.
Moreover, his main purpose in coming to space was to adapt to the space environment in advance, so that he could be prepared for the subsequent moon landing.
The process of using magic to collect space debris is his way of adapting to the space environment. Therefore, the process of collecting space debris is the most important to him. As for recycling the debris, he can wait and bring it back with him when he returns to Earth Star later.
So Li Xingkong adjusted the shape of the half-propulsion pod in his hand, shaping it into a spherical shape, and used it as a landing point.
By setting the gravitational source of the Cloud Falling Spell on this sphere, this sphere, formed from a pile of space debris, now looks like a small satellite that Li Xingkong has conjured up next to Earth Star.
Li Xingkong continued to adapt to the way things were done in space on the surface of the sphere.
Having already adapted to space travel by capturing the trash, he can now move freely in space, like a fish in the ocean. As long as his Magic Power is sufficient, his movements in space are extremely convenient.
Without using Magic Power, moving in space is incredibly difficult. You'll either be trapped in place, with nothing to leverage your strength, and just struggle endlessly, or you'll glide forward in a straight line, unable to stop, until you're captured by Earth Star's gravity.
If an ordinary person wants to engage in activities in space, they must be equipped with a spacesuit, preferably one with a jetpack.
Besides normal physical activities, Li Xingkong had many tests to do, including cultivation in this space environment and the operation of the Qi Refining Method. He needed to test these again to see if there were any differences between space and Earth Star.
Finding a safe place to test the effects of Qi Refining Method in this environment brings us back to the issue of cleaning up space debris.
He could use the captured space debris to build himself a small base in space. It didn't need to be too complicated; just a place for him to cultivate would suffice.
According to current estimates, there are more than 50,000 tons of space debris orbiting Earth Star. While this amount may not seem like much if it's spread throughout Earth Star's orbit, it's still an astonishing quantity.
Li Xingkong waited a little longer before making two more moves, intercepting nearly a ton of waste materials.
By stuffing these materials together with the sphere piled up beneath his feet, the diameter of the sphere was now about 5 meters, allowing Li Xingkong to move around on it with some difficulty.
Now that the accommodation had been secured, the testing of the Qi Refining Method began immediately.
When practicing the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method on Earth Star, the speed of converting solar energy is very fast, and after reaching a high level of mastery, the effects are even more profound, allowing one to absorb energy without direct sunlight.
Li Xingkong originally thought that this Qi Refining Method was already very powerful, but this time, starting to cultivate in space completely overturned his previous conclusions.
If cultivating on Earth Star is like filling a tap with water, then cultivating in space is like standing directly under a waterfall.
The amount of solar energy that Li Xingkong absorbed increased dozens of times. As soon as he started practicing this cultivation method, it filled Li Xingkong up completely.
He even felt a bit stuffed, as if his whole body was being filled with Magic Power. If you looked closely, the Mana Circuit throughout his body were emitting a faint light, making it seem as if Li Xingkong had become a luminous being.
Without the protection of Earth Star's atmosphere, this solar energy became exceptionally violent.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong reacted quickly. He immediately activated all the spells on his body, constantly casting spells with his hands, and then slowly reduced the absorption rate of the Qi Refining Method.
Five minutes later, Li Xingkong's appearance, which had been illuminated by the Magic Power within his body, returned to normal.
He also maintained his internal Magic Power at a normal level, preventing it from exploding.
This feeling was quite exciting; he hadn't expected that the energy level of solar energy would differ so much between the Earth Star.
It has to be Earth Star. Its thick atmosphere isolates most of the energy and cosmic Fallout, which is why life could evolve on Earth Star. If it were like space, with its abundant energy and Fallout, virtually no life could survive in such an environment.
After testing the Qi Refining Technique, Li Xingkong rested for a while, as the energy overload had a significant impact on him.
However, this wasn't without its advantages. Under such abundant energy, Li Xingkong could unleash his spells as freely as if they were free.
On Earth Star, one might have to be frugal and conserve Magic Power, but in space, where Magic Power is plentiful, there's no need to skimp on such expenses.
Even the first few people who landed on the moon, whom they modified, could now roam freely on the lunar surface.
The original Vacuum Technique was developed based on the premise of absorbing solar energy on Earth Star. Under Earth Star's conditions, the modifications to the Vacuum Technique for this group of people could barely sustain them for a whole day of spellcasting.
When we were considering it, we never imagined that there would be such strong solar energy in space.
Judging from this situation, it's not just a matter of barely maintaining the Vacuum Technique for a day. Even if we give them more spells, they could keep it running at full power around the clock.
The current situation is that magic is the primary productive force; anything that can be done with magic can be done better and faster than by manpower.
It's a pity. If I could have come to space earlier and spent more time there, this group of people who landed on the moon would probably have had several more spells, and the base construction would have been much faster.
But it's too late now; they're already heading for the moon, and Li Xingkong has no way to catch up with them.
However, with such ample energy, Li Xingkong's own magical cultivation speed will also be much faster.
He even wanted to move to space to cultivate right now. So far, he hadn't encountered any major risks in space, but the benefits seemed to Earthly Capital.
