At this time, the Obsidian Airship had returned to the atmosphere, so Chen Nanfeng naturally didn't need to transmit his voice.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also nodded in agreement.
They were also very curious about the situation of the Obsidian Airship after the flight that had exceeded the limit of the Clear Water Airship just now.
They had just seen the tragic state of the Clear Water Airship. Just the external damage had already made Chen Nanfeng's heart ache.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Of course!"
After that, he operated the control panel, and the airship soon stopped descending and hovered in the clouds.
Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha all summoned their flying swords and left the airship.
The Obsidian Airship belonged to Xia Ruofei, so he could directly sense the situation of the airship with his spiritual force. Naturally, he didn't need to get off the ship to check.
Chen Xuan hadn't fully recovered yet, and his face was still a little pale. Obviously, he had overused his Primordial Qi, so he didn't leave the airship but chose to recover his Primordial Qi in the cabin.
Chen Nanfeng and the other two checked around and soon returned to the cabin.
The three of them all had a strange expression on their faces.
Chen Nanfeng couldn't hide his shock and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xia, is it really unscathed?"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "It's true! But the flight time this time is relatively short, so the reference value is not great. In fact, more in-depth tests are needed to test whether the airship is suitable for long-term space travel. "
"This has already exceeded our expectations!" Liu Mansha's beautiful eyes showed unconcealable joy. "We thought that the plan of using airships to travel across space to the moon should be impossible. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xia to give us such a big surprise!"
Chen Nanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Comparing goods has to be thrown out! Compared to this Obsidian Flying Ship, our First Heaven Society's Clear Water Flying Ship is nothing! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sect Leader Chen, you're exaggerating. We can only say that each has its own strengths! I remember Master telling me that because this Blacklight Airship is made of a special material, its defensive ability is stronger than most airships, but other airships may not have such a great advantage. "
At this time, Chen Xuan, who had recovered a little, said, "Brother Xia, your master is too modest … I can see that our Azurewater Airship is behind the Obsidian Airship in all aspects! Not only in terms of defense, but also in terms of absolute speed, we're much slower than the Blackbright Airship! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Seniors, Brother Chen, if there is nothing else, shall we return to the surface?"
"Alright!"
"Sure, let's go back first!"
Xia Ruofei controlled the Obsidian Airship and steadily hovered above the courtyard house in Liuhai Lane.
The five of them jumped down from the flying ship, and Xia Ruofei put away the Obsidian Flying Ship.
Chen Nanfeng and the others were led to the living room of the master suite, and everyone took their seats.
Xia Ruofei made tea for everyone and said, "Seniors, our top priority now is to prepare the protective equipment in space as soon as possible. I've already asked someone in the United States to contact the spacesuits and related equipment. If everything goes well, it shouldn't take too long before we can conduct more in-depth tests. I think the day when we officially depart to the moon shouldn't be too far away! "
"That's great!" Mu Sheng said, "Little brother Xia, it's all thanks to you this time! From the beginning of the cracking of the token, you've contributed the most! If it weren't for little brother Xia, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to study even a little bit of useful information before the token disappeared. "
"Senior Mu, you're too kind." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "We're all cooperating! I'm not doing voluntary work. "
"Even so, little brother Xia's contribution is the greatest!" Mu Sheng said, "Brother Chen, Valley Master Liu, I have a suggestion … at least we can't let little brother Xia work for free again and again! For example, during the hundreds of thousands of miles to the moon, little brother Xia let everyone ride on the flying ship for free, but we should all pool together the crystals consumed on the way, right? And the spacesuits, I heard it's extremely expensive. Although money in the secular world is nothing, there's no reason to let little brother Xia pay for it alone! I think everyone should take the initiative to bear these costs. "
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "I agree! And the Tianyi Palace is willing to pay 20% more. After all, we take up a lot of spots! "
Liu Mansha said with a smile, "The Soaring Flower Valley has no objections!"
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "Seniors, what are you doing? Although I'm not rich, I can still afford a few crystals! We're all cooperating to explore the secret realm, so there's no need to calculate so clearly, right? "
"That's another matter! In short, we can't let you work hard and suffer losses! " Mu Sheng said, "It's settled then. Before we officially depart, we'll gather the crystals and give them to you. Also, we'll pay for the spacesuits as well! Little brother Xia, it's reasonable to say that we should pay you some compensation, but I don't think you'll accept it. However, it's better for everyone to pool the resources together! "
Xia Ruofei said helplessly, "If that's the case, then we'll do as you say! Today, I called you here to tell you that the spacesuits will have to wait for at least two or three days! There's nothing to do in the next few days, so everyone can go to the various scenic spots in the capital and relax. If there's anything you need to arrange, you can tell me and I'll arrange it. If the negotiations in America go well … In fact, regardless of whether the negotiations go well, I'll be going to America in a few days. Everyone, come with me! We'll take the Obsidian Flying Ship, it should be very fast! "
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "No problem, we'll listen to your arrangements for the next few days!"
In fact, after two tests, Chen Nanfeng and the others were very clear that even if the Obsidian Flying Ship's defense was strong enough, Xia Ruofei wouldn't leave them and go directly to the moon at this stage.
The reason was very simple. With Xia Ruofei's cultivation, it was impossible for him to last so many days without any protection.
In fact, even Chen Nanfeng, who had the highest cultivation, couldn't last that long.
However, Xia Ruofei went to America to contact the purchase of the spacesuits. If Xia Ruofei successfully got the spacesuits and directly drove the Obsidian Flying Ship from America to the moon, then Chen Nanfeng and the others would be caught unprepared. Without the Obsidian Flying Ship, even if Chen Nanfeng was the number one expert in the cultivation world, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Xia Ruofei.
Although everyone was on good terms now, this possibility couldn't be ruled out.
Therefore, Chen Nanfeng and the others naturally wouldn't be completely relieved to let Xia Ruofei go to America alone. It was inevitable that they would go with him.
In the next few days, the cultivators of the three sects lived in Xia Ruofei's courtyard house.
The older generation generally didn't like to be crowded and spent most of their time cultivating alone.
The young people were still more curious about the capital.
In particular, some people grew up in sects and felt that everything in the modern city was very fresh.
Xia Ruofei simply took everyone to visit all the famous scenic spots in the capital. In addition, he took them to eat a lot of the capital's specialty snacks.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in America, a Gulfstream G650 private plane landed steadily at the San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California.
Although it was a long flight, Li Yifu was still in high spirits, and his eyes were filled with excitement. After such a long time, he could finally help his Martial Granduncle with something. Although it was only a matter of the secular world, he knew that this matter was very important.
Yesterday, Luo Qingfeng took Zheng Yongshou on his sword and rushed to Taoyuan Island at the fastest speed.
Of course, in order to avoid being followed, Luo Qingfeng took some detours, so it took a longer time than expected for him to get there.
After Li Yifu handed over everything on the island, he asked Luo Qingfeng to take him directly to the nearest island with an airport.
He had already transferred his private plane to wait here in advance.
Li Yifu directly took his private plane and refueled on the way. After a total of more than ten hours of flight, he finally landed in San Francisco at 10 o 'clock in the morning local time.
A black extended Bentley drove directly to the tarmac.
This was Li Yifu's car. It was a specially customized extended version. The body was equipped with thick armor, and the tires, glass, and so on were all bulletproof. The security level was very high.
This was also transferred to San Francisco by a transport plane last night.
"Chairman, you've worked hard!" A Chinese girl wearing a capable black suit stepped forward and bowed slightly.
This was Li Yifu's personal assistant, Lin Wei. She was a full-time assistant who served Li Yifu and helped him coordinate all his affairs. However, Li Yifu was basically not in the United States in the past six months, and did not care about the company's affairs. Therefore, Lin Wei became very idle. She also took the initiative to ask to keep her assistant position and go to some other department positions to train.
This time, Lin Wei was naturally notified of Li Yifu's return to the United States. She handed over all her other work in advance and became a full-time assistant again.
Li Yifu nodded slightly and asked faintly, "Have you contacted Elon Musk?"
Lin Wei nodded and said, "Mr. Musk has been in Silicon Valley during this time, but his schedule is very full. Our latest confirmed meeting time is 2: 30 this afternoon, about half an hour."
Li Yifu frowned slightly and said, "It's so short? Can't it be arranged at dinner time? "
Although Li Yifu grew up in the United States, he was still a traditional Huaxia person and was more accustomed to talking about business at the dinner table.
What's more, this matter had to be in a relatively private place, where only he and Musk could talk. Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible to succeed.
Lin Wei said, "Chairman, Mr. Musk's assistant replied that because SpaceX's manned flight plan is about to be implemented, Mr. Musk, as the company's CEO and CTO, is very busy and his schedule is particularly full. This half hour meeting time was squeezed out at the last minute. Because of this, Mr. Musk also canceled a meeting … "
Lin Wei was also worried that Li Yifu would feel that he was neglected, so she quickly explained.
In fact, Elon Musk still gave a lot of respect to an industrialist and veteran super-rich like Li Yifu. Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange a meeting in the afternoon as soon as the plane landed.
Li Yifu's mind was filled with thoughts of doing things well for Xia Ruofei, so he did not think about the problem of neglect. He thought for a while and said, "Okay! Half an hour it is! Have you confirmed with them? I need to talk to Elon Musk alone! "
"This has been confirmed with the other party!" Lin Wei quickly said, "Mr. Musk said that there is no problem at all!"
"Okay!" Li Yifu said, "Let's go back to the hotel first!"
…
2: 30 in the afternoon.
Tesla's headquarters in Silicon Valley.
Li Yifu, who arrived ten minutes early, walked into Elon Musk's office under the guidance of a blonde female secretary.
Elon Musk fully expressed his respect for Li Yifu, the industrialist, and got up in advance to greet him warmly.
"Mr. Musk, I took the liberty to visit you today. Sorry to disturb you!" Li Yifu said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, please sit!" Elon Musk smiled and led Li Yifu to the reception area, then said, "It is my honor to meet with a business tycoon like Mr. Li! In my mind, your position is not inferior to Mr. Li from Hong Kong! "
Elon Musk's posture was very humble, but in fact, it was not too exaggerated.
Elon Musk's net worth should be about the same as Li Yifu's, roughly around 40 to 50 billion USD.
However, Li Yifu's name was in the industry, and the cash flow advantage of doing business was very big.
The market value of those technology giants in Silicon Valley was also very high, but that was illusory. Compared to the cash flow, it was much worse than the industrial companies.
What's more, Elon Musk continued to burn money in SpaceX, and now he also needed a continuous injection of funds.
He did not know why Li Yifu took the initiative to come to him, but he felt that this might be an opportunity that could bring him a lot of money.
"Mr. Musk is too kind!" Li Yifu said with a smile, "Our two generations have worked hard for decades and hundreds of years, but the speed of accumulating wealth is far inferior to the new software of some technology companies in Silicon Valley! Therefore, now is the world of the young people! "
The two exchanged a few words, and the secretary brought the coffee and left the office. Elon Musk went straight to the point — his time was very precious, and of course, it was impossible to keep beating around the bush.
"Mr. Li, what business do you have with me this time?" Elon Musk asked straightforwardly.
"I specially came to visit this time to do business with Mr. Musk!" Li Yifu said with a smile.
Elon Musk raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is that so? You are welcome! I like to do business with industrialists like Mr. Li, but … I don't know what business Mr. Li wants to do with me? "
"I hope to purchase a batch of extravehicular spacesuits and related equipment and accessories from SpaceX in my private name!" Li Yifu said directly.
The smile on Elon Musk's face suddenly froze, and his face showed an expression of disbelief.
His mouth opened slightly, and he stared at Li Yifu for a few seconds before asking, "Mr. Li, are you sure you are not joking with me?"
