[Chapter 1770 There is no difficulty in the world]
Li Yifu turned his attention to Xia Ruofei, obviously asking for Xia Ruofei’s opinion.
Xia Ruofei didn’t intend to hide and be a behind-the-scenes figure, he smiled and said: “Mr. Musk, we hope to get at least 18 sets of extravehicular spacesuits using the latest technology and the best materials, of course, if we can get More, that is naturally the best!”
Elon Musk vaguely guessed that Xia Ruofei was the leader of this matter, so he was not too surprised, but he was deeply shocked after hearing this number.
Eighteen sets of extravehicular spacesuits alone are worth about $500 million.
Therefore, aerospace is a very, very expensive industry. Basically, it can only develop with the strength of the country, and it must be a country with strong comprehensive national strength.
Although Elon Musk is involved in the field of commercial space transportation, he still does not have the confidence to enter those high-cost projects, and he continues to reduce costs in this way.
Booster recycling technology, to put it bluntly, is also to save costs.
Xia Ruofei’s needs are obviously not only these, he paused for a while and continued: “In addition to as many extravehicular space suits as possible, we also need enough oxygen supply modules, and these oxygen supply modules are required to be very efficient. It is easy to replace. This demand is relatively large. Simply put, it needs to be able to support 9 adults for 2 months of continuous use.”
Elon Musk couldn’t help but be a little stunned after listening to it. Generally speaking, extravehicular spacesuits can be used for 2 months.
The time for astronauts to work and survive in the space environment is calculated in hours. How can anyone wear a bulky extravehicular spacesuit continuously for 2 months?
How much oxygen is needed?
Roughly estimated, if nine people consume it at the same time, each oxygen supply module can support 6 hours, each person needs to consume 4 to 5 per day, and nine people need about 40, which is still the amount of a day.
That is to say, in order to meet Xia Ruofei’s requirements, at least two or three thousand such oxygen supply modules need to be prepared.
Elon Musk felt like his brain couldn’t keep up.
Although the mass production cost of the oxygen supply module is much lower than that of the entire extravehicular spacesuit, and it does not involve any key core technologies.
Plus there’s no cost to oxygen on Earth, so it’s not a question of money.
Elon Musk is thinking, if these things are used in space, and thousands of oxygen supply modules are sent to space with astronauts, how expensive is the launch?
I am afraid that there is no rocket with such a large thrust that is capable of such a task, right?
If it is used on earth?
What kind of circumstances would warrant wearing a bulky extravehicular spacesuit on Earth for as long as two months?
You must know that extravehicular spacesuits are very heavy. Because of gravity on Earth, it is difficult for ordinary people to put on them and move their arms,
almost impossible to move. Only in low-gravity or even zero-gravity space environment, spaceflight The staff has the ability to move, but it still looks very clumsy.
Wearing this thing on earth for two months, even if there is enough oxygen, you will starve to death!
Can’t eat at all!
And on Earth, why do you need an oxygen supply module?
Can’t you just breathe directly?
The more Elon Musk thought about it, the more he felt that Xia Ruofei’s request was too weird.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “Mr. Musk, the technical content of the oxygen supply module is not very high, and the production cost is not high. If it is mass-produced, it should be ready soon, right?”
Elon Musk said with a wry smile: ” There is no technical difficulty in this, but I don’t understand why you buy so many oxygen supply modules…”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “This is really inconvenient to tell you, but you can rest assured, we are sure You will not be implicated, and the FBI and CIA departments will never find any clues. Of course, the premise is that there is no flaw in the previous production and transportation links. I think Mr. Musk should be able to do this. a little.”
Elon Musk nodded with a wry smile and said, “Although it’s more troublesome, I don’t think it’s a big problem. Mr. Xia, do you have any other needs? Let’s finish it in one breath! I’m afraid my heart will not be able to take it. “…”
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, “These are the main needs! Of course, we also very much hope to buy your company’s manned spaceship. If I remember correctly, it should be called the Dragon Spaceship! This name is quite in line with us. Chinese people’s aesthetics!”
For practitioners, their ability to survive in space far exceeds that of ordinary people, they do not need to prepare space food like ordinary astronauts, and they store enough magic weapons in their storage. Ordinary food is fine. It only requires simple mental control skills to easily taste these foods in space, without the need to turn eating into a process of “squeezing toothpaste”.
And if you can buy SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, the members of the expedition can stay in the spacecraft during the voyage, and don’t need to wear cumbersome extravehicular spacesuits throughout the journey, which is naturally a better choice.
“What?” Elon Musk was dumbfounded and asked after a long while, “Mr. Xia, you…what do you want to do?”
These demands of Xia Ruofei gave Elon Musk the feeling that they were going to form A space transportation company with a bigger business than SpaceX.
Almost didn’t offer to buy their Falcon rocket, otherwise, just buy SpaceX directly.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “Mr. Musk, be patient… You can understand that we want to do a space survival experiment, and hope to simulate the real environment as much as possible! Of course, we don’t need a complete Dragon spacecraft, at least There is no need for a power system, er… The communication and control systems are not really needed. What we need most is the capsule of the spacecraft. Of course, this is a capsule that can operate stably in the space environment, and it must be able to continuously provide Oxygen.”
If you really use the Dragon spacecraft, it’s natural to drag it directly behind the Obsidian spacecraft, and you don’t need a power system at all.
What’s more, the power of the Dragon spacecraft is mainly to fine-tune the orbit in space, and in the process of returning to Earth, some orbit adjustments, speed adjustments, etc., are definitely not enough to support flying to the moon.
Elon Musk said with a wry smile: “Your request is really beyond my expectations… But according to what you just said, if it is used by nine people, the Dragon spacecraft cannot hold it. Our spacecraft is designed to carry the maximum number of people. There are seven people, and under normal circumstances, they will not fly with full load.”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: “We don’t need many systems on the spacecraft. After dismantling it, we should be able to increase some space, right? And we don’t need to carry any supplies and equipment. Items, I think this can also add a lot of space! Of course, considering the comfort… If your company can sell us two spaceships, then it will be the best!”
Elon Musk shivered all over.
He quickly said: “Mr. Xia, the manufacture of the Dragon spacecraft is also very complicated. Even if a lot of systems are reduced, it will involve a lot of work…”
“This is an additional option, we can leave it for discussion later.” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, “But We still hope that Mr. Musk can help us solve the problems of the extravehicular spacesuit and oxygen supply module. Of course, there is no need for Mr. Musk to worry about the cost, and we can pay you the full amount in advance. ” To
put it bluntly, Xia Ruofei is not lacking. Money, but technology and production capacity, all of which are exactly what Elon Musk has in his hands. As long as the funds are in place, he should have no problem in operation.
Elon Musk smiled bitterly, finally took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Xia, since everyone has spoken up, I won’t go around the corner! This thing can be done! But you need to give me a little time… I I will find a way to contact relevant production companies to produce accessories through some personal relationships, and then I will secretly set up a team to assemble and test. But…”
Xia Ruofei showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and said with a smile: “Mr. Musk, what else is there? It’s difficult, but it’s okay, we can solve it together!”
Elon Musk smiled and said: “If Mr. Li can provide the required funds in advance, there will be basically no major difficulties. There are just some things that I have to make clear to you in advance.”
“Please say ”
I will use some means to avoid relevant risks, so once there is any problem, it is impossible to trace back to me and my company. Even if you come out to identify Mr. Xia, it is absolutely impossible for me to admit it.” Elon Musk said sternly, “So, the risks that may exist in this matter need to be borne by you, and please think clearly, this is not a trivial matter.”
Xia Ruofei was slightly relieved when he heard the words, and said with a smile: “It turns out that this is what Mr. Musk said! Please rest assured that there will be no problems. Even if it is a problem, it will never involve Mr. Musk. Everyone is friends who help each other. We I won’t betray my friends!”
In fact, in the eyes of Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu, the most problematic link is Elon Musk.
As long as Elon Musk delivers normally, Xia Ruofei and the others put things directly into the storage magic weapon, and then leave the United States in the flying boat.
No matter how powerful the FBI is, it is impossible to find any clues.
Hearing this, Elon Musk nodded and said: “Then this matter is settled for the time being. I will provide you with as many extravehicular space suits and oxygen supply modules as possible to meet Mr. Xia’s needs! But… …”
Speaking of which, Elon Musk shrugged and said: “Please forgive me for not being able to sign any paper agreement with you, and Mr. Li is required to transfer the required funds to my designated account in advance, which may It
needs a little trust…”
“No problem at all!” Li Yifu said without hesitation, “I can pay 600 million US dollars first, and if the funds are not enough, I can add it at any time!”
When Li Yifu was still on Taoyuan Island, Xia Ruofei had just After talking to him about buying a space suit, he has already started preparing funds.
Most of the industries that Li Yifu controls are industries, and the cash flow is still very abundant. Basically, there will be no problems in raising funds of less than 2 billion US dollars in a short period of time.
At this moment, Elon Musk’s cell phone rang.
.
The three of them stopped discussing, Elon Musk answered, and said in a gentle voice: “Dear, how is little X…Okay! Okay! We’ll come over here!”
After hanging up the phone, Elon Ma said Sk said to Xia Ruofei: “Mr. Xia, Grimes said, it should be almost time.”
Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at his watch, and said with a smile: “Well! It’s time to close the needle. Let’s go!” The
three got up Go to the next room.
Nurses and babysitters were still waiting in the hallway and were not allowed into the room.
Grimes has been staying by the crib, and Little X has always maintained a side-lying position, still immersed in sweet dreams.
Seeing Xia Ruofei, Grimes immediately got up to meet him.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, “It’s time to close the needles.”
Then, he came to the crib, first checked Xiao X’s situation with his mental strength, and then quickly put away the silver needles.
In the eyes of Elon Musk and others, Xia Ruofei is very fast in closing needles, but in fact they don’t know that the process of closing needles is also very particular, which one is collected first and which one is collected later. Yes, and there are subtle differences in approach.
It’s just that there are no knowledgeable people on the scene, and Xia Ruofei will naturally not be full and go to explain to Elon Musk and the others.
After Xia Ruofei received the silver needle, he took off the pillow under Xiao X and let him return to the supine position, then sterilized the silver needle without haste, and finally tidy up the medical box and closed it.
Xia Ruofei sat in front of the crib again, put his fingers on Xiao X’s pulse gate, carefully checked the pulse, and then stood up and said, “The effect should still be good. It is important to take this kind of acupuncture once a day, and then take it three times a week. Within a short period of time, the condition will improve significantly, and then there is no need to continue acupuncture, but continue to take traditional Chinese medicine, and it will take about a month for a complete cure.”
Both Elon Musk and Grimes looked happy. Although this is only Xia Ruofei’s personal statement, Xia Ruofei’s previous series of magical performances gave them great confidence, and finally ignited a raging fire of hope in their hearts.
“Maybe I need to trouble Mr. Musk to prepare a room for me.” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, “I will stay here in the next week and concentrate on treating Xiao X!”
Elon Musk said in surprise: “Of course there is no problem! Xia It’s okay to live as long as you want! If you like, this small manor will be given to Mr. Xia…”
“That’s not necessary.” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, “I heard that this manor is Mr. Musk’s favorite environmental protection. Housing, UU read www.sonicmtl.com We Chinese people have a saying that a gentleman does not take people’s favor, and I will not stay in the United States often, real estate means nothing to me.”
Li Yifu also said with a smile: ” Mr. Musk, accumulating wealth is a very simple thing for Mr. Xia, but he is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no interest in money, real estate, etc.”
Elon Musk also came back to his senses .
Now, with Xia Ruofei’s magical medical skills, if you want to make money, it’s not too easy.
A mansion of more than 20 million US dollars may be a wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime, but for a medical expert like Xia Ruofei, it is a matter of visiting a doctor several times.
After all, the richer people are, the more afraid of death, and the more willing they are to exchange money for life and health.
Li Yifu went on to say: “Mr. Xia, Mr. Musk, I won’t stay here any longer, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with, let’s keep in touch!”
Elon Musk naturally knew that Li Yifu was going to be busy, nothing more than It is to raise funds, and there are some follow-up preparations. After all, the safety of such a large number of sensitive goods is still very traditional Chinese medicine.
He hurriedly said: “Okay! Okay! Mr. Li, I will arrange a car to send you!”
