[Chapter 1756 Spacesuit]
Xia Ruofei is in contact with Li Yifu on Taoyuan Island.
After talking with Master Yuntai just now, Xia Ruofei knew that the defensive power of the Obsidian Flying Boat was very strong enough to cope with the flight in outer space, so he was determined, and now what he had to do was to find a way to solve the problem of the space suit.
The Li Yifu family has always been developing in the United States. After two generations of accumulation, the assets have now reached tens of billions of dollars, and they have considerable influence in the United States.
Xia Ruofei wanted to get a space suit from NASA, so Li Yifu was the first choice.
Of course, in fact, Huaxia is also a world leader in the aerospace field. The “Flying” extravehicular spacesuit independently developed by Huaxia is also very advanced in technology.
It is not difficult for Xia Ruofei to ask for a few sets of space suits from the aerospace industry department through the coordination of Song Lao and others, and he will not ask for it in vain, and will definitely pay for it.
However, the purpose of purchasing a space suit is really difficult to explain.
Maybe it will cause unnecessary trouble to Song Lao and others.
After all, the aerospace field is too sensitive.
It is impossible for Xia Ruofei to use some cultivator’s methods in his own country to steal it directly in order to hide it.
Therefore, he still chose to buy space suits secretly from the United States.
Of course, if the business in the United States fails, benevolence and righteousness will naturally not exist. Xia Ruofei will definitely not be polite. He will not have any psychological burden for stealing NASA’s space suit.
Xia Ruofei contacted Li Yifu first with the mentality of “buy it if it works, steal it if it doesn’t work”.
Li Yifu quickly answered the phone, and he respectfully called: “Uncle Shi, what are your orders?”
Xia Ruofei asked, “Yifu, is there any way you can get in touch with NASA?”
Li Yifu couldn’t help but stunned. He asked, “Uncle Shi, you mean… NASA?”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “You heard that right, it’s NASA, I want to do business with them, can you find a way?”
Li Yifu said: “Uncle Shi, NASA’s relationship can definitely be found, but in the aerospace field. I am very sensitive, and I am Chinese, so it is impossible to trade some core technologies with them. Those intelligence agencies in the United States are watching!”
“I don’t want any of their technologies.
” Xia Ruofei said, “I just want to Get a
few sets of space suits, can you do it?”
“Space suits?” Li Yifu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, “Uncle Shi, you are planning to go to outer space!”
Because it was not a face-to-face conversation, But through the satellite phone, it is theoretically possible to be monitored, so Xia Ruofei did not explain in detail, just said: “Almost! Now the most urgent task is to get a spacesuit, and it must be an extravehicular spacesuit, Yifu, Can you think of a way?”
Li Yifu pondered for a moment, then said, “Uncle Shi, if you want to buy a spacesuit from an official American organization like NASA, it is estimated that it will be more difficult, and don’t look at it as just a spacesuit, this is also the case. It
involves a number of core technologies!”
“If it’s too difficult, forget it!” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, “I’ll think of another way!”
Xia Ruofei’s so-called “other way” is naturally not a purchase. For practitioners, even if NASA is heavily guarded, they can come and go freely.
The only question is, will NASA have so many spacesuits in stock?
In addition, it is said that the space suits are tailored according to the astronauts. If there is no flight mission, the backup space suit may not be enough, and it may not necessarily fit.
Li Yifu said: “Master Uncle, the disciple said that it is not easy to get from NASA, but if you want to get a space suit, you should still be able to!”
“Oh?” Xia Ruofei asked with interest, “Apart from NASA, where is it? Can I still get a space suit?”
“I wonder if my uncle has heard Elon Musk’s name?” Li Yifu asked.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while, and said somewhat uncertainly: “You mean the boss of the Tesla electric car?”
Li Yifu said with a smile: “Yes! The founder of Tesla, but he still has an identity, that is spaceX, the CEO and CTO of the American Space Exploration Technology Corporation, should have heard of the company’s Falcon rocket, right?”
Xia Ruofei said: “I seem to have an impression… I heard that their rocket booster can be recycled, Right? You mean, this space technology company is also owned by this buddy, and then it is possible for him to get a space suit?”
“This is what the disciple means.” Li Yifu said, “Actually, SpaceX has obtained a lot of technology from NASA, Their manned spaceflight technology is also very advanced, and an independent manned flight will soon be carried out! Therefore, the quality of SpaceX’s space suits is no worse than that of NASA, and dealing with a private company is definitely better than dealing with US national agencies It
‘s much easier!”
“Understood!” Xia Ruofei said, “Yifu, please go and coordinate this matter in person, I need to get at least 18 extravehicular spacesuits as soon as possible, if I can get more, Naturally, it is better. In addition, we need as many oxygen supply modules as possible, at least to ensure that nine people are in outer space, and the oxygen supply module alone can support the amount of one to two months.”
Tianyimen three people, Cang Two Langmen, two Feihuagu, plus Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue, there are nine people in this trip. Eighteen sets of space suits are just one master and one spare. Considering that everyone’s space suits are faulty The probability is not high, so one main and one backup is barely enough.
Of course, after all, it is a long-term outer space voyage. If the spacesuit can not support that long, it must be replaced, so 18 sets will be stretched, and it is naturally the best to buy more spacesuits. .
As for the oxygen supply module, it must be more prepared.
Li Yifu couldn’t help but stunned and said, “This is quite a lot! Uncle Master, Musk’s company may not have so much inventory! After all, the cost of spacesuits is as high as tens of millions of dollars…”
“As long as he has the technology, we can definitely produce it as soon as possible when the money is in place!” Xia Ruofei said, “Your task is to get Musk and let him provide as much and as quickly as possible what we need. ”
Understood!” Li Yifu said, “Uncle Shi, that disciple will go back to the United States as soon as possible, but here in Taoyuan Island…”
“I’ll let Qingfeng take Zheng Yongshou to sit there!” Xia Ruofei said.
Zheng Yongshou has also learned the method of controlling the Taoyuan Island Great Array, and his array level is far superior to Li Yifu. The jade pendant refined by Xia Ruofei is responsible for the daily maintenance of the Great Array and resisting possible foreign enemies. There is no problem. .
In addition, Luo Qingfeng, a Jindan cultivator, also sits together, and it is even more foolproof.
It just so happened that Luo Qingfeng was also in the capital and took Wang Shan to help receive fellow practitioners in the cultivation world, so Xia Ruofei only needed to give an order, and he could call Zheng Yongshou and go to Taoyuan Island together.
“Yes! After that disciple waited for Luo Qingfeng and Zheng Yongshou to arrive, and after handing over the formation control talisman, he went to the United States quickly!” Li Yifu said respectfully.
“Then I wish you success!” Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then, Xia Ruofei thought of one more thing and said: “Right! Yifu, when you talk to Musk, don’t be limited to space suits and support modules, as long as we can get the outer space equipment, we all want, even The spaceship experimental cabin, as long as he is willing to sell it, I will pay for it!”
“Okay, the disciple will do his best!” Li Yifu said, “However, the aerospace equipment involves a lot of sensitive technologies, and the disciple can’t guarantee whether the negotiation will go smoothly. After all, Musk is not particularly short of money…”
If money can solve the problem, Li Yifu will not frown even if he spends all his wealth, but Musk is also a very rich man. He started his business in Silicon Valley as early as the 1990s. , and later developed the famous payment tool “paypal” and made a lot of money.
After that, he founded the famous Tesla company and created the Tesla pure electric car that swept the world.
This guy has always been very obsessed with his space dream. In 2001, he invested 100 million US dollars to establish SpaceX, which is now popular all over the world, which is the American Space Exploration Technology Company. At that time, everyone thought this guy was crazy and entered many countries as a private person. In the aerospace field, which can’t afford to burn money, 100 million US dollars is enough for a few extravehicular space suits, and it is destined to not make any splash.
But they just launched the Falcon rocket into space in 2012, ushering in the era of private operations for space transportation.
In 2018, the complete recovery of the first-stage booster rocket was completed, which greatly reduced the launch cost.
As SpaceX’s manned space flight is infinitely close to success, Musk’s assets have also snowballed, and now it has reached a net worth of four or five billion US dollars, which can be said to be comparable to Li Yifu.
For such a rich man, just throwing money is definitely not enough.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “It is of course the most convenient to be able to solve problems with money. Although Musk has a lot of assets, he has a lot of places to burn money! As long as he can safely earn a large amount of US dollars, I don’t believe he will not be interested. Li Yifu said:
”
Of course he will be interested in making money. He is still a businessman in essence! If he can ensure safety, I believe he should be tempted. Therefore, it may be hard for the uncle to go to the United States in person.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a while, and then he understood what Li Yifu meant. He said with a smile: “That’s right, such a lot of equipment and space suits are very sensitive equipment, and even smuggling channels cannot be shipped out of the United States.
”
Yes, it can only be transported with storage magic. I think as long as we don’t ship things out of the United States, Musk should have less concerns.”
“The disciple also thinks the same.” Li Yifu said, “This matter The disciple will not pretend to be someone else, and is going to have a private conversation with Musk in person.”
“Well! If it really can’t be solved with money…” Xia Ruofei said, “You can consider some other methods. Use some cultivator’s methods if necessary. It is also possible. In short, this matter can only succeed, not fail, and we have no way out.”
Although it is despised by many cultivators to deal with an ordinary person in the way of a cultivator, the exploration of the moon is really important, and the time is more urgent. In addition, when dealing with an American, Xia Ruofei has no psychological burden. .
“Understood!” Li Yifu said, “Don’t worry, Master Uncle, the disciple will go to the United States first, it is really difficult to talk about it. The disciple will report to you to see how to deal with it next.”
“Okay, I will make arrangements here. You meet!” Xia Ruofei said.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei called Luo Qingfeng over.
He said solemnly: “Qingfeng, you should contact Zheng Yongshou immediately, and then go to Taoyuan Island with him. Yifu has an important mission and needs to return to the United States for a while. During his absence, you and Zheng Yongshou will be in Taoyuan. Island, Zheng Yongshou is mainly responsible for the maintenance and control of the formation, and you have to control the overall situation.”
Luo Qingfeng said quickly: “Yes! The old slave will leave immediately!”
Xia Ruofei nodded and checked the sound insulation barrier again. Then he said in a low voice: “Be careful to make a few circles on the road to prevent people from following.”
During this time, there were many practitioners in Xia Ruofei’s courtyard, and there were also many masters of Jindan period. If you were not careful, you would be followed by people. When Taoyuan Island was discovered, it was a lot of trouble.
Xia Ruofei also knows that Taoyuan Island will be exposed to the cultivation interface sooner or later, but he hopes that the sooner the better, it is best to wait until his strength has made everyone need to look up before exposing, so that no one dares to give birth to it. The coveted heart comes.
In fact, the most convenient method should be for Xia Ruofei to use the obsidian flying boat to take Luo Qingfeng back to the Star Picking Sect first, take Zheng Yongshou with him, and then fly to Taoyuan Island.
He should even use a flying boat to send Li Yifu back to the United States, which is the fastest.
But now Tianyimen and many other sects are working together to crack the token and organize to go to the moon to explore the secret realm. Xia Ruofei is the key person among them, and he also has some of the most important information. Everyone will definitely not rest assured. Let Xia Ruofei leave alone.
But because Taoyuan Island is still kept secret, and Xia Ruofei can’t go with these monks, so this most convenient method is destined to not be chosen.
That can only make Luo Qingfeng and Li Yifu spend more time and energy on the road, which is also impossible.
Luo Qingfeng used the phone in Xia Ruofei’s room to contact Zongmen, and soon found Zheng Yongshou, and agreed with him on the meeting place.
Then, he respectfully bid farewell to Xia Ruofei.
After leaving the room, Luo Qingfeng was ready to say goodbye to Chen Nanfeng and others. After all, he was the head of the Star Picking Sect, and he was equal to Chen Nanfeng and others in the cultivation world.
As soon as they went out, Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng saw Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha walking towards this side from the front yard. The faces of the three of them didn’t seem very good-looking, and their emotions were a little low.
what’s wrong?
Xia Ruofei looked at the three people who were downcast and couldn’t help but muttered in his heart.
