Chapter 1774 The Spaceship Acquired
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is a good idea! We are going to go to the moon this time. It can be said that it should be a historic feat in the cultivation world. There is no previous experience to learn from. If we can go to the moon first It would be great to test it on the track!"
Song Wei also nodded with a smile and said, "This is indeed a relatively safe approach, and I think the seniors will agree with it!"
"It's just over a week, let's just stay here and wait!" Xia Ruofei said, "It's okay to go back in a short time, and the child of Elon Musk's family is still under treatment. If I stay in the United States , it is more convenient to deal with any situation.”
"Then it's settled!" Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I'll tell my father, but just say that we still have things to deal with here, so don't tell him the specific things."
Chen Xuan obviously agrees with Xia Ruofei's point of view, and thinks that too many details on the phone are easy to leak.
Xia Ruofei nodded, and said with a smile: "The next few days, I will work hard for Yifu. We have never been to the United States, so you have to show us the beauty of the United States."
Li Yifu quickly said: "No problem! Uncle Master, let everyone eat well, drink well, and play well!"
...
A week later, Xia Ruofei and his team, who had a good and relaxing tour in the United States, took Li Yifu's private jet to Houston, the famous American space city.
The group did not go to the hotel to stay. After they got off the plane, they took two commercial vehicles arranged by Yifu Li and left the airport for the suburbs east of Houston.
Halfway through the drive, two container trucks also drove out from an intersection and followed behind the commercial vehicle.
The commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of an inconspicuous factory building. Li Yifu got out of the car and led everyone to walk to the rusty iron gate and rang the doorbell.
The camera light on the iron door turned on, and a moment later, a deep voice said: "Please wait a moment!"
After a few minutes, there was a sound of footsteps.
A black man in his thirties opened the iron gate and came out. Li Yifu handed him a card.
After the black man took the card, he took out a device similar to a POS machine from his body, swiped the card and looked at the information displayed on the screen, the look of guard on his face became slightly less.
He looked at Xia Ruofei and others beside Li Yifu again, frowned slightly and asked, "Why are there so many people?"
Li Yifu said lightly: "We have made an appointment in advance,
That's how many people there are. If you can't be the master, you can call and ask for instructions! "
The black man's eyes were cold, and he snorted lightly and said, "No need, come in!"
After finishing speaking, he moved out of the way, and Xia Ruofei and others filed into the dilapidated yard of the factory building.
The black man was last, and after carefully locking the door, he quickly followed.
He led the way ahead, leading Xia Ruofei and others through the yard and around to a very thick gate on the side.
The black man pressed his fingerprint and passed the iris scan, and the door opened with a click, and a group of people walked in.
Contrary to the dilapidation outside, after passing through this door, Xia Ruofei and others discovered that there is a hole inside.
This is a spotless factory building with bright lights inside. The most conspicuous thing is that in the middle of the tall factory building, there is a large container covered by a golden tarpaulin, which is more than ten meters long and much wider than a standard container.
In addition, there are hundreds of boxes, large and small, stacked neatly along the walls of the factory building.
A staff member in a white anti-static jumpsuit came up to him and glanced at the black man.
The black man nodded slightly at him, indicating that his identity had been checked, and then stepped aside without saying a word.
The white man in a white jumpsuit said blankly: "Hi, I'm the person in charge here. You can call me John."
It's obviously a fake name, but no one cares what a staff member's name is. Xia Ruofei took a step forward and said, "Mr. John, we have been notified that we are here to pick up the goods today!"
John said lightly: "Everything is ready, please check it!"
In fact, after Xia Ruofei entered the factory, he had already scanned it mentally. He was very clear about the situation of this batch of goods, including behind a secret door, and there were more than a dozen security personnel with guns who did not show up. He knew everything about it.
Inside the large container in the middle of the workshop are the assembled spaceships and expansion cabins, and inside the boxes stacked along the wall are five sets of extravehicular spacesuits and five hundred oxygen supply modules. There is no need to unpack and check one by one.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei said directly: "No need, let's load the car directly! Can the car come in?"
John nodded and said, "Of course!"
Then, John shook his head towards the black man. The black man walked aside knowingly, opened a control box on the wall and pressed the button, and saw that the entire wall of the factory building facing the yard began to rise slowly. It's an oversized roll-up door that opens up the entire wall.
Then, the black man took Li Yifu out again, opened the courtyard door outside, and let two trucks in.
The extra-large container containing the spaceship and the expansion cabin was hoisted and placed on one of the trucks, and the other truck itself was a van. Xia Ruofei and others did it by themselves, and in a short while loaded all the hundreds of boxes car.
Li Yifu got on the first truck in person, and Xia Ruofei and others got into the van respectively, and soon the four cars left the seemingly dilapidated factory area without much communication with Mr. John and the black man.
The convoy of four vehicles did not leave Houston, but drove to the southern suburbs, where Li Yifu prepared a large warehouse in advance.
The car drove directly into the warehouse, and quickly lifted the big container down. Xia Ruofei and others still did the work for the other boxes, and they finished unloading them in a short while—in order to reduce irrelevant people as much as possible, there are no arrangements here. The stevedores, including the drivers of several vehicles, also had no idea what was being transported this time.
After Li Yifu sent all the cars away, he quickly returned to the warehouse and locked the door tightly.
Xia Ruofei and others have already pried off the lead seal of the extra-large container and opened the container door.
The Dragon spacecraft revealed its true face, roughly divided into two parts: the orbital module and the return module, but in the part of the orbital module, several expansion cabins are connected.
The exterior of the spacecraft and the expansion module are not painted with any markings. In fact, the interior of the spacecraft is the same. All the signs related to SpaceX have been removed.
At the door of the container, there is also a small and exquisite box.
Xia Ruofei took the box and opened it. Inside was a stack of thick paper documents, also without any logo, all printed on ordinary printing paper.
These documents include the spacecraft's simple operation manual, quick fault checklist, etc., as well as the essentials for putting on and taking off the extravehicular spacesuit, the introduction of the functions of each part, and the quick replacement method of the oxygen supply module, etc.
Xia Ruofei briefly flipped through a few pages, then put them all back into the box.
Everyone gathered around the door of the container, looking at the strange-looking spaceship inside because of the connection of several expansion cabins.
Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Just this big guy, it's even stronger than the flying boat in space? I think the material is average!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "This is the power of science and technology! The materials of the spacecraft have been verified by countless tests. Not only must they be able to withstand huge temperature differences, but they must also be able to shield cosmic rays. Thermal materials must be able to withstand a high temperature of several thousand degrees, because it will generate huge heat when it rubs against the atmosphere violently during the return process, and the airtightness of the spacecraft as a whole is also extremely demanding. To put it bluntly, it is the difference in the use environment , which is itself designed for long-duration operation in the space environment."
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Yes! The technology in the secular world should not be underestimated!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Especially in the aerospace field, it can be said that it integrates the most advanced part of human technology."
At this time, Li Yifu locked the door and came over, said respectfully: "Uncle Master, the drivers have already been sent away, I checked the surveillance just now, and there is no suspicious person around here, we can put all these things away. "
Xia Ruofei nodded, and then he released his mental power to investigate the situation within a few miles, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's work! Then we should go back to China, I guess Chen Heads, they are all waiting anxiously!"
Chen Xuan looked at the huge spaceship in the container, and said: "It seems that this big guy can only rely on Brother Xia, our storage magic weapon space is limited, and if we want to collect such a big thing, our mental strength is also limited." Don't catch it!"
There were only Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan, two golden core monks present, and even Chen Xuan felt that it was difficult, so Xia Ruofei could only rely on it.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "My storage magic weapon can hold it, so I will collect this spaceship!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei cast his eyes on the spaceship in the container, covered the spaceship with mental power, and then with a slight movement of his mind, he directly put the spaceship into the mountain and sea realm of Lingtu space.
The size and weight of this spaceship are much larger than the small yacht he put into the space before. Rao Xia Ruofei's mental strength is much higher than before. At the moment when he collected the spaceship, he still realized The long-lost feeling of dizziness, but this kind of dizziness was very slight, and it only happened for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
By the way, Xia Ruofei also put the small box full of operation manuals into the Lingtu space.
The container became empty.
Chen Xuan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Excellent!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and pointed to the remaining pile of boxes, and said, "Let's share some of these things!"
The rest is five sets of extravehicular space suits and five hundred oxygen supply modules. The things are not big, and everyone’s storage space can fit them.
Xia Ruofei, Ling Qingxue, and Yu Xiner received a set of extravehicular space suits and a hundred oxygen supply modules.
The remaining two sets of extravehicular space suits and two hundred oxygen supply modules were put away by Chen Xuan.
The warehouse that seemed a bit crowded just now was emptied again.
Xia Ruofei said to Li Yifu: "Yifu, I will leave the finishing work here to you, and you should continue to follow up with Elon Musk, and urge him to deliver the remaining spacesuits and oxygen supply modules in time. "
"Don't worry! Master Uncle!" Li Yifu said, "The disciple will stay in Houston until all the things are delivered."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I won't come next time to deliver the goods, you are fully responsible. Just let me know after the goods are received. Let's go back to China first, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the United States during this time, other things Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Xia Ruofei was talking about Taoyuan Island, but because Chen Xuan and others were present, he was only vague. But Li Yifu must be able to understand, he said respectfully: "Yes! Master Uncle! This disciple will remember it. If there is anything here, the disciple will report to Master Uncle at any time."
"Well! It's hard work for you!" Xia Ruofei nodded, and then said to Chen Xuan and others, "Then let's go back!"
A group of people came to the back of the warehouse. This area is relatively remote and almost inaccessible. Xia Ruofei took out the obsidian flying boat from the spirit map space. After everyone jumped on the flying boat, he stood on the side of the boat and waved to Li Yifu. He flew in the direction of Huaxia.
The obsidian airship is much faster than ordinary civil aviation aircraft. Even if it is not flying at full speed, the entire flight only takes two to three hours.
During these two or three hours, Xia Ruofei and the others were not idle, they were all studying the thick operation manual.
After all, if a cultivator enters the space environment, his survivability is not much better than that of ordinary people, especially for monks in the Qi refining period like Ling Qingxue and Yu Xiner, if they are exposed to the space environment, they may not last a few minutes longer than ordinary people , so it is still necessary to seriously learn the operation process of the spacecraft, the process of putting on and taking off the spacesuit, etc.
Once in space, the outside of the spacecraft is a vacuum environment, and there are strict procedures for entering and exiting the cabin, which door to open first, which door to open next, and operations such as decompression and pressurization. An emergency evacuation process, everyone must keep in mind, otherwise, if you accidentally die, there will be no place to seek justice.
Under normal circumstances, for an ordinary person to become a qualified astronaut, he needs to go through a long period of training and participate in various assessments. The time span is calculated on a yearly basis. Fortunately, everyone does not need to master the comprehensive Knowledge, and everyone is a practitioner, learning speed and memory are much better than ordinary people, so just mastering some operating procedures and emergency plans will not consume too much energy.
While studying, time passed quietly, and before he knew it, the Obsidian Flying Boat had already arrived in the sky above the capital of Huaxia.
