As soon as Lü Yongchang arrived at the main entrance of the research institute, he met the three pilots of Xuan Nu No. 1 next to the helicopter landing pad.

Perhaps because they had just come from the Air Force training base, the three astronauts still looked somewhat confused and tired.

"Bai Yixuan!"

Lü Yongchang's voice reached the ears of the three astronauts from afar.

Upon hearing his name called, Bai Yixuan, who was in the lead, subconsciously turned his head to look in Lü Yongchang's direction.

Upon seeing Lü Yongchang, Bai Yixuan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly whispered a greeting to his two companions beside him.

"How was it?" When the three astronauts jogged up to him, Lü Yongchang chuckled and asked, "How's the training going this past month?"

Hong Fan shivered suddenly, and a look of worry instantly appeared on his previously beaming face.

"Professor Lü, please don't say anymore."

"You have no idea how we've been getting through this past month..."

Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of smiles as he raised an eyebrow and said, "I told you beforehand, the training here will be even more tiring than at the air force base."

Upon hearing this, Hong Fan's face instantly turned bitter.

"What? You want to give up?" Lu Yongchang looked at Hong Fan, who had a bitter face, with great interest.

"No, no, no!" Hong Fan shook his head repeatedly.

"What are you talking about? We've come this far, how could we possibly give up!"

"I also want to be the first astronaut from Xia Kingdom to walk on the moon!"

Lu Yongchang smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll give you that opportunity!"

"Now, let's go take a look at your future cars!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three astronauts all became fervent!

...

When the three astronauts saw the flamboyant yet mysterious appearance of Xuan Nu-1, they couldn't stop their mouths from agape!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Hong Fan exclaimed excitedly, "This thing... is it really from our Xia Kingdom?"

Even Bai Yixuan, the most composed of the three, had a look of amazement in his eyes.

Xia Wanyi's slender hands trembled slightly as she brushed against the cold outer shell of Xuan Nu No. 1.

The cold touch on her fingertips did nothing to extinguish the fire in her heart.

Her eyes gleamed with fascination as she murmured to herself, "So beautiful..."

The reactions of the three astronauts caught Lü Yongchang's eye, and a smug smile crept onto his lips.

This is his masterpiece!

Even in his previous life, he had not been able to build a flying machine of this caliber!

After all, he was spending most of his energy on the construction and research of the dungeon at the time.

"Come on, I'll show you the cockpit." He greeted the three of them with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hong Fan subconsciously swallowed and said tremblingly, "I...can we go see the cockpit?"

Lü Yongchang: "???"

He gave Hong Fan a strange look: "What? You don't want to pilot this spaceplane anymore?"

Bai Yixuan and Xia Wanyi both glanced at Hong Fan as if he were an idiot.

Hong Fan: "..."

Lu Yongchang shook his head in bewilderment and turned to walk toward the boarding gate below the fuselage.

Because it uses a small fusion reactor as its power source, and because this spaceplane is mainly used for scientific research and transportation missions, the space in the Xuan Nu-1's fuselage has been greatly freed up.

Directly in front of the cockpit are three tempered glass portholes made with a special process.

These three tempered glass surfaces can not only withstand the impact of most small meteoroids in the solar system, but also significantly filter out harmful rays and excessively strong visible light from the universe.

Behind the porthole is a control panel filled with all sorts of operating buttons and instruments.

The control console is so large that it requires three drivers to complete all the operational tasks.

This is also the main reason why Xuan Nu No. 1 requires three pilots.

Behind the console are three tall and spacious driver's seats.

Given the long flight time of the spaceplane, all three seats are designed based on ergonomics.

"Huh?" Xia Wanyi noticed the two somewhat "plain" chairs behind the driver's seat and asked Lü Yongchang in a low voice, "Professor, what about these two chairs..."

“Passenger seats,” Lü Yongchang answered directly. “This is also for future research tasks.”

Xia Wanyi nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the Xuan Nu No. 1 aircraft is far more useful than she imagined!

"Good heavens..." Bai Yixuan subconsciously slowed his pace, walked to the sophisticated control panel, and gently stroked the buttons on the panel.

His pupils trembled slightly, and he murmured softly, "This, this is just like a scene from a science fiction movie..."

The next moment, he turned his head and looked intently at Lü Yongchang.

"Professor Lü! When... can we pilot this spaceplane?"

Bai Yixuan's question immediately caught the attention of the other two.

Hong Fan and Xia Wanyi both turned their expectant gazes toward Lü Yongchang.

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's hard to say."

Seeing the instant dimming in the eyes of the three, he smiled and added, "That depends on the effectiveness of your training."

"You will need to conduct driving training in the simulator."

"There's only one of these, and I can't take responsibility if something goes wrong."

"And the training was effective?" Hong Fan's hoarse voice rang out.

"The training was effective?" Lu Yongchang's smile widened. "If you can master it in one night, I'll apply to the Speaker for a test flight tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Fan's breathing became noticeably more rapid!

Looking at the three excited men in front of him, a sly smile flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

This is the effect he wanted!

He firmly believes that after this stimulus, the training efficiency of the three astronauts will definitely double!

...

After sending the three astronauts to training, Lü Yongchang looked at the Xuan Nu-1 spacecraft in front of him and murmured to himself, "Sometimes I really envy them."

"Um?!"

"What did you say?"

Cao Liangcai, standing to the side, looked at Lü Yongchang with a strange expression: "Envious? Who are you envious of?"

"Bai Yixuan and the others," Lü Yongchang said, his face full of anticipation, "don't you want to ride in this big thing and go to space once?"

"In no mood!"

Cao Liangcai pursed his lips and said irritably, "I don't want to experience that feeling of not being able to stand on the ground."

"Besides... you can't possibly ride this thing into the sky."

Lu Yongchang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"The Speaker of the council won't agree to you doing something like this," Cao Liangcai rolled his eyes. "Don't you know how important you are right now?"

Lü Yongchang nodded silently without replying.

Unnoticed by Cao Liangcai, a thoughtful expression slowly surfaced deep in his eyes.
