Chapter 1770: Nothing is difficult in the world

Li Yifu turned his attention to Xia Ruofei, apparently seeking Xia Ruofei's opinion.

Xia Ruofei did not intend to hide behind the scenes, he smiled directly and said: "Mr. Musk, we hope to get at least 18 sets of extravehicular spacesuits with the latest technology and the best materials. Of course, if we can get More, that is naturally the best!"

Elon Musk faintly guessed that Xia Ruofei was the leader of this matter, so he was not too surprised, but he was still deeply shocked by this number.

The 18 extravehicular spacesuits alone are worth about US$500 million.

Therefore, aerospace is a very, very money-burning industry. Basically, it can only develop with the power of the country, and it must also be a country with strong overall national strength.

Although Elon Musk has set foot in the field of commercial aerospace transportation, he still has no confidence to enter those high-cost projects, and he is still compressing costs. The booster recovery technology, to put it bluntly, is also to save costs.

Xia Ruofei's needs are obviously more than these. He paused for a while, and continued: "In addition to as many extravehicular spacesuits as possible, we also need enough oxygen supply modules, and it is possible to require these oxygen supply modules. 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 being a little dumbfounded after hearing this. Generally speaking, the extravehicular spacesuits for astronauts to work in the space environment and survive are counted by the hour. How can anyone continue to wear heavy clothes for 2 consecutive months? Of the extravehicular spacesuit? How much oxygen is needed? As a rough estimate, if nine people consume it at the same time, according to 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 a day's amount.

In other words, to meet Xia Ruofei's requirements, at least two to three thousand such oxygen supply modules need to be prepared.

Elon Musk felt that his brain couldn't keep up.

Although the cost of mass production of oxygen supply modules is much lower than that of a complete set of extravehicular spacesuits, and no key core technology is involved. In addition, there is no cost for oxygen on earth, so it is not a question of money.

Elon Musk is thinking, if these things are used in space, thousands of oxygen supply modules are sent to space with the astronauts, how high is the launch cost? I am afraid that there is no rocket with as much thrust as it can do such a task, right?

If it is used on the earth? What environment requires people to wear bulky extravehicular spacesuits on Earth for two months?

You must know that extravehicular spacesuits are very heavy. Because of gravity on the earth, it is very difficult for ordinary people to move their arms when wearing them. It is almost impossible to move their arms. Only in low-gravity or even zero-gravity space environments, aerospace The staff is capable of action, but still looks very clumsy.

Wearing this set on the earth for two months, even if you have enough oxygen, you will be starved to death! Can't eat at all!

And on earth, why do we need oxygen supply modules? Isn't it enough to breathe directly?

The more Elon Musk thought about it, the more he felt that Xia Ruofei's request was too weird.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "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: "This is not technically difficult, but I don't understand what you are buying so many oxygen modules for..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "This is indeed inconvenient to tell you, but you can rest assured that we will definitely not involve you, and the FBI and CIA departments will definitely not find any clues. Of course, the premise is the previous one. There are no flaws in the production and transportation links. I think Mr. Musk should be able to do this."

Elon Musk nodded with a wry smile, and said: "Although it is more troublesome, I think it shouldn't be a big problem. Mr. Xia, do you have any more needs? Let's finish it in one breath! I'm afraid my heart will not be able to stand it ..."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "These are the main needs! Of course, we also very much hope to be able to purchase your company’s manned spacecraft. If you remember correctly, it should be called Long Spaceship! This name fits our Chinese people. Aesthetic!"

For cultivators, their ability to survive in space far exceeds that of ordinary people. They do not need to prepare space food like ordinary astronauts. They can store enough ordinary food in their storage magic weapon. You need simple mental power control skills to easily taste these foods in space, without the need to turn eating into a "toothpaste" process.

And if SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft can be bought, the members of the expedition can stay in the spacecraft during the voyage, without the need to wear bulky extravehicular spacesuits. This is naturally a better choice.

"What?" Elon Musk was dumbfounded, before murmured for a while, "Mr. Xia, you...what are you guys doing?"

These needs of Xia Ruofei gave Elon Musk the feeling that they were going to form a space transportation company, and the business was bigger than SpaceX.

It was almost impossible to propose to buy their Falcon rocket, otherwise, it would be better to buy SpaceX directly.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Mr. Musk, don't worry... You can understand that we want to do a space survival experiment, hoping 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, uh... communication and control systems are actually not needed. What we need most is the cabin of the spacecraft. Of course, this is a cabin 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 will naturally be towed directly behind the Obsidian spacecraft, without a power system at all.

What's more, the power of the Dragon spacecraft is mainly to fine-tune the orbit in space, and make some orbit adjustments and speed adjustments during the process of returning to the earth. It is certainly not enough to support flying to the moon.

Elon Musk smiled bitterly and said: "Your request is really beyond my expectation... But according to what you just said, if it is used by nine people, the Dragon spacecraft can't fit. Our spacecraft is designed to carry a maximum number of people. It’s seven people, and under normal circumstances will not fly with full load."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "We don't need many systems on the spacecraft. After dismantling, we can increase some space, right? And we don't need to carry any supplies and items. I think this can also increase a lot of space! Of course! , Considering the comfort... if your company can sell us two spaceships, it would be the best!"

Elon Musk trembled with fright, and quickly said: "Mr. Xia, the manufacturing of the Dragon Spaceship is also very complicated. Even if many systems are reduced, a lot of work is involved..."

"This is an additional option, we can leave it to the discussion later." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "but I still hope that Mr. Musk can help us solve the problem of extravehicular spacesuits and oxygen supply modules. Of course, the cost issue naturally does not need Mr. Musk. Worry, we can pay you the full amount in advance."

To put it bluntly, what Xia Ruofei lacks is not money, but technology and production capacity. All this is precisely what Elon Musk has in his hands. As long as the funds are in place, his operation should be no problem.

Elon Musk smiled bitterly, and finally took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xia, since everyone has said things, then I won't be detour! This thing can be done! But I need a little time...I I will find a way to contact relevant manufacturers to produce parts through some personal relationships, and then I will secretly form a team for assembly and testing. But..."

Xia Ruofei showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Musk has any difficulties, but it's OK, we can solve it together!"

Elon Musk smiled and said: "If Mr. Li can provide the necessary funds in advance, there will be no major difficulties. I just have to tell you some things in advance."

"Please speak!"

"I will use some means to avoid relevant risks, so once any problems arise, it is impossible to retrospectively investigate me and my company. Even if you come out to identify Mr. Xia, I will never admit it." Elon Musk Zheng said, "Therefore, the possible risks in this matter need to be borne by you. Please also think about it clearly. This is not a trivial matter."

Xia Ruofei felt relieved when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Musk is talking about this! Please rest assured that there will be no problems, even if it is not a problem, it will never involve Musk. Mr., everyone is a friend who helps each other, and we will not betray our friends!"

In fact, in the view of Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu, the most prone link is Elon Musk's side.

As long as Elon Musk delivered the goods normally, Xia Ruofei and the others directly put the things in the storage magic weapon, and then left the United States in the flying boat. No matter how great the FBI is, it is impossible to find any clues.

Elon Musk nodded and said: "Then this matter is set for the time being. I will provide you with as many extravehicular spacesuits and oxygen supply modules as I can meet Mr. Xia's needs! But... …"

Speaking of this, Elon Musk shrugged and said: "Please forgive me for not being able to sign any paper agreements with you, and I need Mr. Li to transfer the required funds to my designated account in advance. This may take a little bit. I trust..."

"There is 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 finished buying a spacesuit with him, and he had already started preparing funds. Most of the industries controlled by Li Yifu are industries, and the cash flow is still very abundant. Raising funds within two billion US dollars in a short period of time will basically be no problem.

At this time, Elon Musk's cell phone rang. .

The three of them stopped discussing, Elon Musk answered, and said softly: "My dear, how about little X... OK! OK! Let's come here!"

After hanging up the phone, Elon Musk said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, Grimes said, time should be almost up."

Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at the watch, and said with a smile: "Yeah! The needle can be closed. Let's go over!"

The three got up and walked to the next room.

The nurse and the nanny were still waiting in the corridor and were not allowed to enter the room.

Grimes has been guarding the crib, Xiao 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 needle."

Then, before he came to the crib, he mentally checked the situation of Little X, and then moved all the silver needles swiftly.

It seems to Elon Musk and others that Xia Ruofei takes the needle very fast, but in fact they don’t know that the process of narrowing the needle is also exquisite. You can't go wrong with which one you receive first and which one. Yes, and there are subtle differences in technique.

It's just that there are no people who know how to do it at the scene, and Xia Ruofei naturally won't be full and will go to explain to Elon Musk and the others.

After Xia Ruofei received the silver needles, he took off the pillow under Xiao X's body and let him resume lying on his back. Then he disinfected the silver needles calmly, and finally closed the medical box.

Xia Ruofei sat in front of the crib again, put her fingers on Xiao X's pulse, carefully took the pulse, and then stood up and said: "The effect should be good. This kind of acupuncture is once a day, and then it is important to take it three times a week. Within this time, the condition will show obvious improvement, and then there is no need to continue acupuncture, but you must continue to take traditional Chinese medicine. It will take about a month to completely cure."

Elon Musk and Grimes both showed joy. Although this was only Xia Ruofei's personal statement, Xia Ruofei's series of miraculous performances gave them great confidence, and finally ignited a fire of hope in their hearts.

"May 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 no problem! It doesn't matter how long Mr. Xia wants to live! If you like it, 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 environmentally friendly house. We Chinese people have a saying, "A gentleman does not take people's favors. Besides, I won't always be there. While staying in the United States, real estate is meaningless to me."

Li Yifu also smiled and said: "Mr. Musk, it is a very simple thing for Mr. Xia to accumulate wealth, but he is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no interest in money, real estate and the like."

Elon Musk has also recovered, with Xia Ruofei's magical medical skills, if you want to make money, it is not easy. A mansion of more than 20 million US dollars may be a wealth that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime, but for medical experts like Xia Ruofei, it is a matter of visiting several doctors.

After all, the richer people are more afraid of death, and more willing 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 raising funds, and some follow-up preparations. After all, the safety issue of such a large number of sensitive goods is still very traditional Chinese medicine.

He quickly said: "Okay! Okay! Mr. Li, I will arrange a car to send you off!"
