Jupiter looks like it's close, but it's actually far away.

At least if you're wearing power armor, you won't be able to fly.

Not to mention fuel, the oxygen that can be carried is not enough.

So Lin Xu first got on the air and space fighter and came to the space station in low earth orbit.

Then, on the space station, he transferred to the space shuttle and headed towards Jupiter at a very fast speed.

At this time, the Earth's outer space is not as busy as it was ten years ago.

At that time, planetary engines were still under construction, so various space carriers traveled between the earth and factories on major planets to deliver parts for planetary engines to the earth.

The entire solar system is filled with space-bound carriers and autonomous machines.

And now, with the official departure of the earth, the factories that produce planetary engine parts on the major planets have also been suspended.

All kinds of space transport ships shrank back to Earth and docked in low-earth orbit.

Even the autonomic machinery that used to be spread throughout the solar system has all shrunk back to Earth.

Some of them combine themselves to form a spherical, cube, or triangular body, which is also docked in low Earth orbit.

Others descend on the Earth, where they also merge into spherical, cube, or triangular entities, quietly deep underground, or beneath the frozen ocean ice.

Lin Xu sat on the seat of the space shuttle, and behind him sat Miss Qiu.

The space shuttle is not big, so it is not much bigger than a car, and it can only seat a few people.

This made Lin Xu wonder if he should get a ship or something like that in the future, even if it was to modify one with a transport ship.

Otherwise, this shuttle would be too aggrieved to sit.

As for taking the transport ship directly, Lin Xu also considered it just now, the problem is that the power of the transport ship is insufficient, and the speed is too slow.

It can only be used to transport goods.

And it can't land on a planet, it can only be docked in space.

That's right, there is no way for a space carrier to land on the ground.

If they enter the atmosphere, they are captured by the planet's gravity.

And these space carriers simply do not have enough power plant to push the transport ships out of the gravitational pull of the planet and rise back into space.

From the very beginning, their role was not to travel between the ground and space, but to transport goods in space.

Of course, Lin Xu can also add enough power to these transport ships, but from the perspective of cost performance, it is not necessary at all.

As long as they can complete the role of inter-universe transportation, they can do it.

Just like now, Lin Xu is enjoying the scenery outside the window through the shuttle.

You can see the space transport ships in low-earth orbit above the earth, densely docked.

Each of these space carriers is larger than an aircraft carrier, with hundreds of them docked at an airport.

On the airport, there is a cable that communicates the world and the sky, which is the air-sky cable.

All the way to the ground.

It is also by relying on this air-space cable that the space transport ships docked at each airport can drag the airport and these space transport ships when the earth is propelled by planetary engines to fly, and also move with the earth.

Otherwise, these space transports would have been thrown off by the earth long ago.

And on the countless air ports that rely on the sky cable to anchor the ground, in addition to space transport ships, there are also various autonomous mechanical aggregates.

It is a huge entity that is either spherical, cube or triangular from the aggregation of countless autonomous machines.

They are also docked above the airport.

It wasn't until Lin Xu's cosmic shuttle passed by an airport that the autonomous mechanical aggregate docked on it suddenly began to change.

The spherical and huge entity that was originally as huge as an aircraft carrier suddenly moved in a regular rhythm on the surface.

With the sound of a clattering machine, the massive spherical entity instantly disintegrated into a myriad of various autonomous machines.

Some of them are as big as buildings, and some are as small as matchboxes.

Immediately after the disintegration of these autonomous machines, they were reunited.

It's just that they've changed their appearance, and they're no longer spherical.

Instead, it became a cone densely packed with laser cannons, plasma cannons, electromagnetic cannons, and other weapons.

At the same time, behind the cone, a huge pillar of light was ejected.

Caught up with Lin Xu's cosmic shuttle.

A total of a dozen such cones, each of which is the size of an aircraft carrier.

Surrounded and guarded Lin Xu's car-sized space shuttle, heading towards Jupiter.

They weren't warships, or a bit more appropriately described as an aggregate of weapons.

Weapons, weapons, only weapons.

Unreasonably bringing together countless weapons is like loading thirty cannons on a tank.

If it weren't for the fact that the autonomic machinery could gather and disperse at any time, there would be no such freaks at all.

And the self-discipline machinery of these weapon aggregates also brought Lin Xu a great sense of security in the space shuttle.

Suddenly, I felt that if I didn't get any ships, it seemed like there would be nothing.

What kind of ship can compare to the self-discipline mechanical escort.

It's no wonder that human beings 10,000 years ago didn't have any weapons such as space warships, at most they got some transport ships.

With self-discipline machinery, why do you need a space battleship!

Whatever weapon you want, just assemble it at any time.

You can fight when necessary, and you can also engage in construction in peacetime.

It's as against the sky as the Production and Construction Corps.

It can be said that these autonomous machines are the greatest invention of human civilization in the 23rd century, and it is also because of the autonomous machinery that human beings can build enough spaceships for all mankind to ride in the 23rd century.

I don't know how human beings came up with something as rebellious as an autonomous machine.

It can only be attributed to another technological explosion of mankind.

Escorted by more than a dozen aircraft carrier-sized weapon aggregates, Lin Xu took a space shuttle and arrived at Jupiter's location in about half a day.

As he got closer and closer to Jupiter, the sense of oppression brought by the huge celestial body that obscured the entire field of vision also made Lin Xu can't help but be a little nervous.

Soon, the shuttle arrives on Europa, a moon of Jupiter covered in snow and ice.

It is also home to the Jupiter Museum.

There is no need to wear a spacesuit, and the clothes on Lin Xu's body are directly converted into power armor.

In this way, he took Miss Qiu and walked directly out of the cabin of the shuttle.

Of course, Lin Xu still brought extra things.

In order to prevent the compressed oxygen contained in the power armor from being impractical, Lin Xu controlled the power armor and incorporated the additional oxygen backpack into the armor.

The back of the power armor looks a little bloated.

But if you don't look closely, it's actually no different from before.
