Chapter 1756 Spacesuit

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

After the communication with Yuntai layman just now, Xia Ruofei knew that the defense of the Obsidian spaceship was very strong, enough to handle 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.

Li Yifu's family has always been developing in the United States. After two generations of accumulation, their assets have 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, Huaxia is also world-leading in the field of aerospace, and the "Flying" extravehicular space suit independently developed by Huaxia is also very technologically advanced.

It is not difficult for Xia Ruofei to ask for several 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 he will definitely pay for it.

However, it is really difficult to explain the purpose of buying a spacesuit.

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 methods of cultivators in his own country to steal directly in order to deceive people.

Therefore, he still chose to secretly purchase 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 definitely not be polite. He will not have any psychological burden if he steals NASA's spacesuit.

Xia Ruofei contacted Li Yifu first with the mentality of "buy it if you can, or steal it if you can't".

Li Yifu answered the phone quickly, and he called out respectfully, "Master Uncle, what are your orders?"

Xia Ruofei asked, "Yifu, is there any way you can get in touch with NASA?"

Li Yifu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked, "Master Uncle, you mean...the National Aeronautics and Space Administration?"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You heard it right, it's that NASA, I want to do business with them, can you find a way?"

Li Yifu said: "Master Uncle, the relationship with NASA can definitely be found, but the aerospace field is 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 all watching. !"

"I don't want any of their technology.

Xia Ruofei said, "I just want to make a few sets of space suits, can it be done?" "

"Space suit?" Li Yifu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Master Uncle, you are planning to go to outer space!"

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

Li Yifu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master Uncle, if you want to buy a spacesuit from an official US agency like NASA, it is estimated that it will be relatively difficult, and it is not just a spacesuit, it also 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 method" is naturally not a purchase. For practitioners, even though NASA is heavily guarded, they can come and go freely.

The only question is, will NASA have this many spacesuits in stock? In addition, it is said that the spacesuits are all tailor-made according to the astronauts. If there is no flight mission, the backup spacesuit may not be enough, and it may not fit well.

Li Yifu said: "Master Uncle, my disciple said that it is not easy to get it from NASA, but if you want to get a space suit, it should be possible!"

"Oh?" Xia Ruofei asked with great interest, "Where can I get space suits besides NASA?"

"I don't know if Master Uncle 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 said with a smile: "Yes! The founder of Tesla, but he also has an identity, that is, spaceX, which is the CEO and CTO of the US Space Exploration Technology Corporation. The company's Falcon rocket, my uncle should listen to it. Have you said that?"

Xia Ruofei said: "I seem to have an impression... I heard that their rocket boosters can be recovered, right? You mean, this space technology company is also owned by this buddy, and then he may also get spacesuits there?"

"That's what my disciples mean." Li Yifu said, "In fact, SpaceX has obtained a lot of technology from NASA, and their manned spaceflight technology is also very advanced, and they will conduct independent manned flights soon! Therefore, SpaceX's spacesuit , the quality is no worse than NASA’s, and dealing with a private company is definitely much easier than dealing with a US state agency!”

"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said, "Yifu, please coordinate this matter yourself. I need to get at least eighteen sets of extravehicular spacesuits as soon as possible. If there are more, it will be better. In addition , also need as many oxygen supply modules as possible, at least nine people are guaranteed to be in outer space, and the oxygen supply modules alone can support the amount for one to two months."

Three people from Tianyi Sect, two people from Canglang Sect, two people from Feihuagu, plus Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue, there are a total of nine of them on this trip, and the eighteen spacesuits are just one master and one backup. The probability of failure of all spacesuits is not high, so one master and one backup are barely enough.

Of course, after all, it is a long-term voyage in outer space. If the spacesuit cannot last for such a long time, it must be replaced. Then 18 sets will be stretched. It is naturally the best to buy more spacesuits. up.

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

Li Yifu couldn't help being speechless, and said, "That's quite a lot! Master uncle, 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 will definitely be able to 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, "Master Uncle, that disciple should go back to America as soon as possible, but Taoyuan Island..."

"I let Qingfeng take Zheng Yongshou to sit in town!" Xia Ruofei said.

Zheng Yongshou has also learned how to control the formation of Taoyuan Island, and his level of formation is far superior to that of Li Yifu. The jade pendant refined by Xia Ruofei is responsible for the daily maintenance of the formation and the defense against possible foreign enemies. There is no problem .

In addition, Luo Qingfeng, a Jindan cultivator, is also sitting in the town together, so it is even more foolproof.

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

"Yes! The disciple waits for Luo Qingfeng and Zheng Yongshou to arrive, and after handing over the formation control talisman, he will rush to the United States!" Li Yifu said respectfully.

"Then I wish you success!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Then, Xia Ruofei thought of another thing and said, "By the way! Yifu, when you talk to Musk, don't limit yourself to space suits and support modules. As long as you can get outer space equipment, we all want it, even As long as he is willing to sell the spaceship experimental cabin, I will pay for it!"

"Okay, I will do my best!" Li Yifu said, "However, aerospace equipment involves many sensitive technologies, and I can't guarantee that the negotiations 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 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". Even earn a lot of money.

After that, he founded the famous Tesla company and created the Tesla pure electric vehicle that is popular all over the world.

This buddy has always been very obsessed with his space dream. In 2001, he invested 100 million U.S. dollars to establish SpaceX, which is now popular all over the world. In the field of aerospace where money cannot be spent, 100 million US dollars is enough for a few sets of extravehicular space suits, and it is destined to not cause any splashes.

But they just sent the Falcon rocket into space in 2012, which opened the era of private space carrier operations. 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 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, just spending money is definitely not enough.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "It is of course the most convenient to use money to solve the problem. Although Musk has a lot of assets, he also has a lot of places to burn money! As long as he can safely earn a large sum of 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 at heart! If safety can be ensured, I believe he should be tempted. Therefore, it may be difficult for Master Uncle to go to the United States himself."

Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, then understood Li Yifu's meaning, he said with a smile: "It's true, such a large amount of equipment and space suits are very sensitive equipment, even if it is smuggled, it is impossible to ship them out of the United States." , and can only be transported with the magic weapon of storage. I think as long as we don’t ship things out of the United States, Musk should have a lot less worries.”

"My disciple also thinks so." Li Yifu said, "I will not pretend to be someone else in this matter, and I am going to have a private discussion 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 practitioners' means if necessary. In short, this matter can only be successful, not failed. We There is no turning back."

Although it is despised by many monks to deal with an ordinary person with the means of a practitioner, the matter of exploring the moon is really important, and the time is relatively tight. In addition, Xia Ruofei has no psychological burden to deal with an American. .

"Understood!" Li Yifu said, "Master and Uncle, don't worry, the disciple will go to the United States first, and there is really no way to talk about it. The disciple will report to you and see how to deal with it in the next step."

"Okay, let me arrange it here, and then I will come to the United States to meet you!" 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 stay in Taoyuan On the island, Zheng Yongshou is mainly responsible for the maintenance and manipulation of the formation, and you have to control the overall situation."

Luo Qingfeng quickly said: "Yes! That old slave will leave immediately!"

Xia Ruofei nodded, checked the sound-proof barrier again, and then said in a low voice: "Be careful to make a few circles on the road to prevent anyone from following you."

During this period of time, many practitioners came to Xia Ruofei's courtyard, and there were also many masters at the Golden Core stage. If he was not careful, if he was followed and found Taoyuan Island, it would be 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 later the better, it is best to wait until his strength has made everyone need to look up before it is exposed, so that no one will dare to give birth. The heart of coveting comes.

In fact, the most convenient way should be for Xia Ruofei to take Luo Qingfeng back to the Star Picking Sect in the black obsidian flying boat, bring Zheng Yongshou with him, and then fly to Taoyuan Island.

He should even send Li Yifu back to the United States directly by flying boat, which is the fastest way.

But now Tianyimen and many other sects crack the token together and organize to go to the moon to explore the secret realm. Xia Ruofei is the key figure in it, and also has some of the most important information. Everyone will definitely not let Xia Ruofei leave alone.

But because Taoyuan Island still has to be kept secret, Xia Ruofei can't take these monks with him, so this most convenient method is destined not to 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 a meeting place.

Then, he respectfully bid farewell to Xia Ruofei.

After leaving the room, Luo Qingfeng was about to bid farewell 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 the others in terms of status in the cultivation world.

As soon as they went out, 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 seemed to be not very good-looking, and their mood was a little low.

What's wrong? Looking at the three dejected people, Xia Ruofei couldn't help muttering in her heart.
