You promised to build cars, so why did you go into the military industry?

With everyone racing against time, in just five days, except for some irregularly shaped parts that required manual processing by skilled fitters, the main body of the compartment, such as the frame and keel, as well as the necessary components, have been die-cast.

However, some of the equipment that needs to be installed in the compartment will take about another week to arrive.

Therefore, everyone enjoyed a short break.

Although Lu Xiangwen, who is in his seventies, is full of energy, his body can no longer keep up.

He returned to his temporary accommodation at United Industries with the help of several students to rest.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng and the others, who had nothing else to do, packed up their materials and prepared to return to their dormitory to rest.

The once noisy production workshop quickly quieted down, leaving only Zhou Rui and Qiu Cunming discussing something while comparing documents.

At 1:30 a.m. on December 2, 2013, with the ignition command given, the Long March 3B-2 carrying the Chang'e-3 lunar probe was successfully launched from the Qilianshan Satellite Launch Center.

About nineteen minutes later, the Chang-3 lunar probe was directly sent into the Earth-Moon transfer orbit by the Long March 3B-2 rocket. According to the host, the orbital accuracy of Chang-3 was more than three times that of Chang-2.

Zhou Rui, who had gone to bed early last night, woke up smoothly to the sound of his alarm clock.

He watched the entire launch mission via live webcast.

根据预告，嫦三月球探测器将会在2013年12月14日21时11分左右，正式开启登月软着陆模式。

Zhou Rui silently calculated the time in his mind and found that there was still plenty of time and he could make it. However, the price was that he would have to work overtime a little over the next few days.

The next morning, after a week of rest, everyone on the 'Space Biosphere' team started working overtime with full energy.

As the equipment was installed, the originally hollowed-out compartment gradually became crowded.

"Fortunately, we listened to Professor Qiu's advice and used a modular design concept, otherwise the installation and debugging of these devices would have been a huge problem." The installation and debugging of the equipment progressed quickly, which made Zhao Feng happy, and he subconsciously praised Qiu Cunming who was working in the distance.

"To receive praise from Professor Zhao, as Cunming's teacher, I feel very honored," Lu Xiangwen joked.

A supplier worker who was assisting with equipment debugging a short distance away overheard Zhao Feng's words and couldn't help but complain:

"Modular design makes things convenient for you, but our boss has been cursing us behind our backs."

The boss's few precious experts, who hold small meetings every three days and large meetings every five days, are losing clumps of hair.

We lowly soldiers also worked overtime every few days. In the five months before this, I hadn't had a full night's sleep.

"If it weren't for the prestige of Sichuan University, we would have thought you were just looking for trouble."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Zhao Feng's face.

At this moment, Qiu Cunming, who was some distance away, heard the supplier's staff complaining and came over to chime in:

"Thank you for your hard work, experts and colleagues."

Don't worry, your boss, not a single hair on his precious darlings will turn white!

We appreciate your hard work. Once this thing goes to heaven, we guarantee you'll have countless "passive income" every day.

"Hahaha, then I'll take your kind words, Professor Qiu."

At 3:27 p.m. on December 6, thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone, the Biosphere 12 module was successfully joined together, and preparations for the sealing test began.

Zhao Feng originally planned to live in the cabin for a month to experience it firsthand and test the limits of "Biosphere One", but everyone stopped him.

But Zhao Feng is right. To better identify the problem, a person with professional knowledge must stay there for a month.

This way, once a problem is discovered, it can be repaired appropriately before launch.

So, after getting everyone's consent, Wang Bing made a call to Director Qi Kaifeng for help.

Upon learning of this news, Director Qi Kaifeng immediately decided to lead the two astronauts to Gaolu Town.

The following day, on a plot of land that United Industries had recently purchased in September, there was a temporary, enclosed area.

When Director Qi Kaifeng appeared before the crowd with two astronauts, a frenzy of star-chasing swept through the scene.

"Captain Li Wei!!" Su Qing grabbed Captain Li Wei's hand, too excited to speak.

"Keep it down, don't let people laugh at us." Wang Bing pulled Su Qing back, then extended his hands to shake hers. "Back in 09 and 10, Su Qing and I were temporarily transferred to Factory 627 to support its construction. Unfortunately, our movements were restricted, and with the tight schedule and heavy workload, we couldn't see you for almost a year. We regretted it for a long time. Now our dream has finally come true!"

After listening to Wang Bing's story, Captain Li Wei gently patted her hands to calm her down, smiling warmly.

Seemingly accustomed to this scene, Director Qi Kaifeng coughed lightly and said:

"I can understand the excitement you feel when you meet your idol, but don't forget about other people."

Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Kong Lingcheng, one of the astronauts who will be entering the Biosphere 1 module for a month-long survival test.

Bringing everyone back to their senses from Director Qi Kaifeng's words, they greeted Kong Lingcheng with the same enthusiasm.

Faced with everyone's apologies, Kong Lingcheng magnanimously joked:

"This is nothing. When I first met Captain Li Wei, I was nowhere near as good as everyone else. I was so excited that I couldn't speak! We're all fans, aren't we?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

With Kong Lingcheng's humorous self-deprecating remarks, the atmosphere on set instantly became much more harmonious.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Feng and Zhou Rui led the two astronauts on a tour of the newly built Biosphere 1 module, providing explanations and guidance.

Although the cabin is filled with light and greenery, the cramped interior space is not suitable for long-term human habitation.

Not to mention that on the ground, due to the limitations of gravity, Kong Lingcheng could not utilize the space above his head while living inside.

This means that when conducting tests on the ground, there will be half the space available compared to space!

In such a cramped environment, the mental challenge is clearly more severe than the need for survival!

Even so, Kong Lingcheng remained relaxed and confident in the face of such difficulties and challenges.

At 9:00 a.m. on December 8, Kong Lingcheng, standing at the door of the cabin, smiled and waved to everyone before decisively closing the door.

With a "click," the hatch closed smoothly, followed by pressurization and sealing.

Soon, the Biosphere 1 module was sealed.

At this point, Kong Lingcheng, together with the Biosphere 1 module, will begin a month-long independent operation and survival test.

On December 14, the fifth day of the closed survival test, in order to relieve Kong Lingcheng's mental pressure, the others pushed the live broadcast of the Chang'e-12 lunar probe's landing to him.

This allows him to watch the lunar landing process in real time using his onboard electronic devices while inside the module.
