Chapter 1772: Free lunch?


Xia Ruofei gestured to Elon Musk, and then the two left the room together.
When they came to the next room that still smelled of Chinese medicine, Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Musk, regarding the spacesuit, I hope that some work can start as soon as possible. You know...all preparations are needed. Time, and we...our project is in a hurry, so..."
Elon Musk pondered for a moment, and said: "No problem! I can make arrangements in advance, but...our funds are not sufficient. To be sure, we cannot support the production of all extravehicular spacesuits, so ......"
"The funds promised by Mr. Li will arrive in two days!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "The advance payment of 600 million U.S. dollars will not be lost!"
Elon Musk said: "That's fine! I will arrange it today."
"Please!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Xiao X, please Mr. Xia!" Elon Musk said.
"Don't worry, I don't just treat this as a business!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "because I am also a doctor!"
Elon Musk said sincerely: "Thank you!"
...
In the next few days, although Elon Musk did not leave this mansion, he has been in contact with the outside world.
Part of it is to remotely handle the work of several companies under his name, especially the work of SpaceX.
The other part of the energy is mainly to contact the production of outer space suits and oxygen supply modules.
It is not an easy task to erase all traces to complete this task, but Elon Musk has his own channels, and he also has a deep understanding of the industry, so through some careful operations, It can be done.
The 600 million US dollars promised by Li Yifu, as Xia Ruofei said, was transferred to an offshore account provided by Elon Musk on the next day.
And the money in this account went several turns and was transferred to a small company in Houston, one by one.
Xia Ruofei didn't care about the specific operation, and except for the first day he took the initiative to talk to Elon Musk about this matter, he would never mention it later, he was just focusing on treating Xiao X here.
The daily acupuncture and moxibustion Xia Ruofei is meticulously completed, and the other is to provide Chinese medicine on time. And Grimes also attached great importance to Xia Ruofei's doctor's orders, every time he personally feeds the children and drinks Chinese medicine, not a fake nurse.
Manu and his medical team also stayed in this mansion, but they all appeared once, and were nestled in an annex of the mansion almost all day long.
Three days later, in Xia Ruofei's mention, Elon Musk asked the Manu team to check Xiao X again.
As a result of the examination, Manu's last fluke disappeared. The tumor on Little X's body had been significantly reduced. Compared with the previous few days, all the items were all developing in a good direction.
Although Manu was reluctant, he had to truthfully report the inspection to Elon Musk.
In fact, when the Manu team inspected Little X, Elon Musk was in another room on the second floor, accompanied by Xia Ruofei, waiting for the results.
Unlike Xia Ruofei's light and windy clouds, Elon Musk seemed a bit worried about gains and losses.
Although Xiao X’s complexion has obviously improved a lot, even if he doesn’t understand medicine, he can see that his condition should be getting better, but Elon Musk has always only believed in scientific data. The education he has received since childhood, It also made him more trustworthy in the data checked by the western medical equipment.
Elon Musk naturally hopes that the result is good, but at the same time he is worried that the fire of hope he has finally ignited will be ruthlessly extinguished by reality.
So he was a little restless until he knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Elon Musk suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring nervously at the door.
Manu, wearing a white lab coat, opened the door with a complicated expression, and walked in. He held a folder in his hand, which contained all the examination data, including some blood test sheets and various imaging examination films.
"Dr. Manu, how did the inspection result?" Elon Musk asked impatiently.
Manu couldn't help but glanced at Xia Ruofei, and then said, "Mr. Musk, congratulations! Dr. Xia's treatment is more effective. The tumor has been significantly reduced. The blood test and imaging examination results also indicate that the condition has appeared. A lot of improvement."
Elon Musk snatched the folder in Manu's hand. After flipping through several pages, he remembered that he couldn't understand these inspection reports.
So, he said with some embarrassment: "Dr. Manu, please explain to me the inspection report in detail!"
Naturally, Manu didn't want to say too much in his heart, especially in front of Xia Ruofei, it was simply hitting himself in the face!
But Elon Musk is his boss. He gets a salary that is enough to make him more than most doctors' lives, so he can't refuse Elon Musk's request.
Therefore, Manu still took the folder, explained to Elon Musk item by item, and also found out the results of the last inspection held on the other side of the folder, compared the key data, and used Try to explain to Elon Musk in plain language what these changes mean.
Finally, Manu said: "Mr. Musk, I don’t know how Dr. Xia did it. But... in the case of any surgical treatment and chemotherapy, the condition can be so much It's getting better, I have to say this is a miracle! Congratulations, Mr. Musk, you have found a very good doctor! Our treatment plan should be put on hold..."
He knows very well that no matter how hard he and his team work hard, because of the limitations of real conditions, even if they try their best, it is impossible to achieve such a therapeutic effect.
Elon Musk finally let go of his hanging heart. He said: "So, there is a high probability that Little X's disease can be cured?"
Manu shrugged and said: "At least the trend is like this at present! Of course, whether it can be completely cured, and whether it will relapse after the cure, depends on the effect of subsequent treatment. I can only say that the current hope should It's huge!"
Elon Musk was surprised, but he quickly controlled his emotions. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much! Dr. Manu, you and your team have done the same. Has done a very good job, thank you for your contribution!"
"All this is the credit of Doctor Xia, and we haven't been able to provide any help." Manu said realistically.
He knew that he had completely lost in this competition, so he simply acted upright, maybe he could leave a good impression on the boss.
Elon Musk smiled and said: "Dr. Xia's work is of course amazing! But your auxiliary examinations are also essential! Dr. Manu, I have to talk to Dr. Xia alone. I think... ... Grimes should be very happy to hear this, and I hope you can share this good news with her soon!"
Manu said wittily: "Okay! Mr. Musk, then I will go out first!"
Elon Musk smiled and nodded.
After Manu left the room, Elon Musk said excitedly to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia! You have created a medical miracle! It is the luckiest thing in his life that Xiao X can meet a doctor like you!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "For me, this is just a normal treatment. There is no miracle, and the result is already expected. Besides, I don't want to be a world famous doctor."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei blinked at Elon Musk and said with a smile: "I care more about what, presumably Mr. Musk is very clear!"
Elon Musk nodded and said: "Of course! Mr. Xia, the production of extravehicular spacesuit-related accessories has already started, but this involves multiple companies, and we also need to assemble secretly, so you may have to wait patiently. Day... The production of oxygen supply modules is relatively simple. The factory has already maximized its production capacity. I believe that within two weeks, enough oxygen supply modules should be available!"
"It seems that Mr. Musk has indeed done his best." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Thank you very much!"
Elon Musk lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Mr. Xia, I can provide you with a ship! If you need it..."
"Of course!" Xia Ruofei raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "We need it very much! Mr. Musk is willing to help this, that would be great! But time..."
"If my understanding is wrong, you have any requirements for the power performance and control of the spacecraft." Elon Musk said, "In other words, you need a ship that can provide a space for humans. The space of the survival spacecraft, its function is to provide oxygen, suitable ambient temperature, and shield the deadly cosmic rays, right?"
"Very accurate!" Xia Ruofei gave Elon Musk a thumbs up, and then added, "The other point is that the space should not be too narrow, and it must be able to accommodate 9 adults of normal size, preferably Open up a certain amount of privacy."
If it’s a one or two month space voyage, even cultivators have to solve the "three emergency" problems, and there are men and women in the expedition. If everyone wears extravehicular spacesuits, they can only solve it with authority. Yes, including adult diapers and the like, and the need to temporarily store these "wastes" in the storage magic treasure through the outer space suit, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable thinking about it.
And if it’s in a spacecraft, then it’s definitely necessary to create a relatively comfortable environment as much as possible.
Elon Musk pondered for a moment, and said: "The problem shouldn't be big."
He sat down on the sofa opposite Xia Ruofei and continued: "The maximum number of people on board the ship is 7 people. Even if some equipment is reduced, it is not enough to satisfy the living space of 9 people. However. ......When our spacecraft is designed, it is manufactured in accordance with standard interfaces. The spacecraft can be docked with the International Space Station, that is to say, we can completely connect the two ships through the docking mechanism. Of course, two spaceships may not be needed. Our company has also designed some cabin modules in orbital operation, including rest cabins. As long as one or two such cabins are connected on the ship, the demand can be met. !"
Xia Ruofei asked, "Is the interface reliable?"
Elon Musk smiled and said: "The tightness and firmness of the interface are both problems! There is a special locking mechanism, which was originally designed to maintain the docking state and run for a long time in the orbital space. In this way, Internally, it is equivalent to several cabins connected together, just to distinguish the functional space!"
"Sounds great!" Xia Ruofei said, "Is there enough time?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem!" Elon Musk said, "Many materials and parts are readily available, but they just need to be assembled!"
Speaking of this, Elon Musk reminded: "But I must first remind you that after the spacecraft is docked with multiple cabins, it is an irregular shape, and it must be impossible to truly launch into space. One rocket can be loaded, and the other so many cabins plus 9 people have exceeded the rocket's maximum load, so this is destined to be used only on the ground...In fact, this The cabins are generally launched in batches and then docked in orbital space, which is the prototype of the space station."
"We didn't intend to launch them into space with rockets!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "So this is not a problem at all!"
"That's OK!" Elon Musk said with a smile, "Even if this problem is solved! Mr. Xia, I can provide you with the spaceship and expansion cabin for free!"
"Thank you, Mr. Musk!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I want to know what we need to pay to get the corresponding expansion cabin of the ship."
The free lunch in the world, the more free things, the greater the price may be paid.
Xia Ruofei naturally wanted to ask clearly in advance.
Of course, even if Elon Musk’s lion opened his mouth, and the business could not be negotiated, Xia Ruofei already knew such a relatively perfect solution. Then he has a way to get the ship and the corresponding from Elon Musk’s company. The expansion cabin.
This thing is not like an extravehicular spacesuit. The spacecraft and expansion cabins must be readily available, and there is no need to place an order for production. Therefore, Xia Ruofei and the cultivators unknowingly took them away from SpaceX. It doesn't seem to be too difficult.
Of course, if the spaceship and expansion cabin can be obtained through normal transactions, it is naturally a better choice.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei still wants to hear Elon Musk's offer first.
