Chapter 1756: Spacesuit

Xia Ruofei was in contact with Li Yifu on Taoyuan Island.

After the exchange with the gimbal layman just now, Xia Ruofei knew that the Obsidian Flying Boat had a very strong defensive power, enough to cope with the flight in outer space, so he was determined that what he had to do now was to find a way to solve the problem of the spacesuit.

The Li Yifu family has always developed in the United States. After two generations of accumulation, its assets have now reached tens of billions of dollars, and it has considerable influence in the United States.

Xia Ruofei wanted to get a spacesuit from NASA, so Li Yifu was his first choice.

Of course, in fact, China's aerospace industry is also world-leading. The "Flying" extravehicular spacesuit independently developed by China is also very advanced in technology.

Xia Ruofei wants to get a few space suits from the aerospace industry department through the coordination of Song Lao and others. Moreover, he will not want it in vain, and will definitely pay for it.

However, the purpose of buying a space suit is really difficult to explain clearly.

Maybe it will cause unnecessary trouble to Song Lao and others.

After all, the aerospace field is too sensitive.

It is also impossible for Xia Ruofei to use some cultivator's methods in his own country to steal it directly in order to cover people's eyes.

Therefore, he still chose to secretly buy spacesuits from the United States.

Of course, if the business in the United States fails, benevolence and righteousness will naturally not exist. Xia Ruofei will certainly not be polite. He will not have any psychological burden to steal NASA's spacesuit.

Xia Ruofei first contacted Li Yifu with the mentality of "buy if we do, and steal if we don't do it".

Li Yifu answered the phone soon, and he respectfully exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, what are your orders?"

Xia Ruofei asked: "Yifu, can you get a relationship with NASA?"

Li Yifu couldn't help but stunned, and 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, the relationship with NASA can definitely be found, but the aerospace field is very sensitive, and I am a Chinese, so it is impossible to trade some core technologies with them. Those US intelligence agencies are all staring at it. !"

"I didn't want any of their skills." Xia Ruofei said, "I just want to make a few spacesuits. Can it be done?"

"Spacesuit?" Li Yifu stunned, then reacted and said, "Uncle Shi, you are planning to go to outer space!"

Because it is not a face-to-face conversation, but through a satellite phone, it is theoretically possible to be monitored, so Xia Ruofei did not explain in detail, but said: "Almost! Now the urgent task is to get the spacesuit, and it must be out of the cabin. Spacesuit, Yoshio, can you think of a way?"

Li Yifu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Shi, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to buy a spacesuit from an official agency in the United States such as NASA. Moreover, it is not just a spacesuit. This also involves many core technologies. !"

"If the difficulty is too great, then forget it!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll think of another way!"

Xia Ruofei's so-called "other method" is naturally not a purchase. For practitioners, even if NASA is heavily guarded, they can come and go freely.

The only question is, does NASA have so many spacesuits in stock? In addition, it is said that spacesuits are tailor-made for astronauts. If there is no flight mission, the backup spacesuit may not be enough, nor may it fit.

Li Yifu said: "Uncle Shi, the disciple said that it is not very good from NASA, but if you want to get a spacesuit, it should still be possible!"

"Oh?" Xia Ruofei asked with interest, "Apart from NASA, where can I get a spacesuit?"

"I wonder if Uncle Master has heard of Elon Musk's name?" Li Yifu asked.

Xia Ruofei thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "You mean the boss of the Tesla electric car?"

Li Yifu smiled and said: "Yes! The founder of Tesla, but he still has an identity, that is, SpaceX, the CEO and CTO of the American Space Exploration Technology Company. The company’s Falcon rocket, the uncle Shi should listen to it. Did you say it?"

Xia Ruofei said: "It seems that I have an impression... I heard that their rocket booster can be recycled, right? You mean, this space technology company is also this buddy, and he might also get a spacesuit?"

"This is what I mean by my disciple." Li Yifu said, "In fact, SpaceX has obtained a lot of technology from NASA, and their manned spaceflight technology is also very advanced, and will soon carry out independent manned flights! Therefore, SpaceX's spacesuit , The quality is not worse than that of NASA, and dealing with a private company is definitely easier than dealing with national institutions in the United States!"

"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said, "Yifu, then please go and personally coordinate this matter. I need to get at least eighteen extravehicular spacesuits as soon as possible. If there are more, naturally it will be better. In addition, It also needs as many oxygen supply modules as possible, at least to ensure that nine people are in outer space, and the oxygen supply modules alone can support one to two months."

There are three people at Tianyimen, two at Canglangmen, two at Feihuagu, plus Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue. There are a total of nine people on their trip. Eighteen spacesuits are just one master and one backup, considering everyone. The probability of failure of all spacesuits is not high, so one main and one standby is barely enough.

Of course, after all, it is a long-term outer space voyage. If the spacesuit cannot last for that long, it must be replaced. Then 18 sets of spacesuits will be stretched. If you can buy more spacesuits, it is naturally the best. Up.

As for the oxygen supply module, there must be more preparation.

Li Yifu couldn't help but be speechless, saying: "This is a lot! Uncle Shi, 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 if the money is in place!" Xia Ruofei said, "Your task is to get Musk, let him provide as much as possible and as quickly as possible what we need. "

"Understand!" Li Yifu said, "Uncle Shi, that disciple will return to the United States as soon as possible, but here on Taoyuan Island..."

"I will let Qingfeng take Zheng Yongshou over to sit down!" Xia Ruofei said.

Zheng Yongshou has also learned how to control the Taoyuan Island formation, and his formation level is far superior to Li Yifu. The jade pendant made by Xia Ruofei is responsible for the daily maintenance of the formation and resisting possible foreign enemies without any problems. .

Coupled with the fact that Luo Qingfeng, the Golden Core cultivator, was sitting together, it was even more foolproof.

It happened that Luo Qingfeng was also in the capital, taking Wang Shan to help receive fellow practitioners in the cultivating world, so Xia Ruofei only needed to give an order and he could call Zheng Yongshou and head to Taoyuan Island together.

"Yes! The disciple waited for Luo Qingfeng and Zheng Yongshou to arrive, and after handing over the formation control talisman, they headed 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: "Yes! Yoshio, when you talk to Musk, don’t limit yourself to spacesuits and support modules. As long as you can get the outer space equipment, we need, even As long as he is willing to sell the spacecraft experimental cabin, I will pay for it!"

"Okay, I must do my best!" Li Yifu said, "However, aerospace equipment involves many sensitive technologies, and I can't guarantee that 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 his wealth, but Musk himself is also a rich man. He started his business in Silicon Valley as early as the 1990s and later developed the famous payment tool "paypal". It is even more profitable.

After that, the famous Tesla company was founded, and Tesla's pure electric vehicles were popular all over 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 the time, everyone thought this guy was crazy and entered many countries as a private person. In the aerospace field that can't afford to burn, 100 million US dollars is enough for a few sets of extravehicular spacesuits, and it is destined to not splash.

But they just launched the Falcon rocket into space in 2012, opening the era of private 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 increased like a snowball, and now he has reached a net worth of 40 to 50 billion US dollars, which can be said to be on par with Li Yifu.

For such a rich man, it is certainly not enough to just spend money.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "It is of course the most convenient to be able to use money to solve problems. Although Musk has a lot of assets, there are also many places to burn money! As long as he can safely earn a large amount of dollars, I don't believe he will not be interested. ."

Li Yifu said: "Of course he will be interested if he has money. He is still a businessman! If he can ensure safety, I believe he will be tempted. Therefore, he may have to work hard to visit the United States in person."

Xia Ruofei groaned for a moment, and he understood what Li Yifu meant. He smiled and said, "That's right, such a large amount of equipment and space suits are all very sensitive equipment. Even smuggling channels cannot be shipped out of the United States. , We can only carry the storage magic weapon to transport. I think as long as we don’t ship things out of the United States, Musk should have a lot less worries.”

"The disciple thinks so too." Li Yifu said, "the disciple will not lay hands on this matter, and plan to talk privately with Musk in person."

"Well! If you really can't solve it with money..." Xia Ruofei said, "You can consider some other methods. It is also possible to use some cultivator's methods when necessary. In short, this matter can only succeed, not fail, we There is no retreat."

Although using the means of a cultivator to deal with an ordinary person is despised by many cultivators, exploring the moon is really too important, and time is relatively tight. In addition to dealing with an American, Xia Ruofei has no psychological burden. .

"Understood!" Li Yifu said, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, the disciple will go to the United States first. I really can't talk about it. The disciple will report to you and see what to do next."

"Okay, let me make arrangements here, and come to America to meet you at that time!" Xia Ruofei said.

After hanging up, Xia Ruofei called Luo Qingfeng over.

He said solemnly: "Qingfeng, you immediately contact Zheng Yongshou, and then go to Taoyuan Island with him. Yifu has an important task and needs to go back to the United States for a period of time. 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, checked the soundproof barrier again, and then whispered: "Be careful to make a few circles on the road to prevent anyone from following."

During this period of time, many practitioners came to Xia Ruofei's courtyard, and there were also many masters of the Golden Core Stage. If you were not careful, it would be a lot of trouble to be tracked to Taoyuan Island.

Xia Ruofei also knows that Taoyuan Island will be exposed in front of the cultivation interface sooner or later, but he hopes that the later this time will be better, and it is best to wait until his strength has been exposed when everyone needs to look up, so that no one will dare to give birth. The covetous heart comes.

In fact, the most convenient way should be Xia Ruofei to take Luo Qingfeng back to Picking the Star Zong first with an obsidian flying boat, take Zheng Yongshou, and then fly to Taoyuan Island.

He should even use the flying boat to send Li Yifu back to the United States directly. This is the fastest.

But now Tianyimen and many other sects are cracking tokens and organizing to go to the moon to explore the secret realm. Xia Ruofei is the key figure among them, and he also has some of the most important information. You will definitely not let Xia Ruofei leave alone.

But because Taoyuan Island still kept secret, Xia Ruofei couldn't take these monks with him, so this most convenient method was destined not to be chosen.

That would only allow Luo Qingfeng and Li Yifu to spend more time and energy on the road, which is also nothing.

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 point.

Then, he respectfully bid farewell to Xia Ruofei.

After leaving the room, Luo Qingfeng prepared to resign to Chen Nanfeng and the others. After all, he was the head of the Star Picking Sect, and he was equal to Chen Nanfeng and others in the practice world.

As soon as they left the house, Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng saw Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also walking from the front yard. The faces of the three of them didn't seem to be pretty and their mood was a little low.

What's wrong? Xia Ruofei looked at the three dejected people and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
