I take the earth to wander

Chapter 8 Self-discipline Machines (for further reading)

Jupiter appears to be very close, but it is actually far away.

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

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

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

Then at the space station, I changed to the space shuttle and headed towards Jupiter at an extremely fast speed.

At this time, the outer space of the earth is not as busy as it was ten years ago.

At that time, the planetary engine was still under construction, so various space transport ships traveled between the earth and the factories on the major planets to deliver planetary engine components to the earth.

The entire solar system is a space transport ship and self-discipline machines that shuttle constantly.

And now, with the official departure of the earth, the factories producing planetary engine components on the major planets have also shut down.

All kinds of space transport ships have all shrunk back to the earth and docked in low-earth orbit.

Even the self-discipline machines that originally spread throughout the solar system have all shrunk back to the earth.

A part of it combines itself into a spherical, or a cube, or a triangular huge entity, and it is also docked on the low-earth orbit.

Another part has landed on the earth, and it is also a huge entity that combines itself into a sphere, or a cube, or a triangle, quietly hidden deep underground, or under the frozen sea ice.

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

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

This made Lin Xu ponder whether to get a ship or something in the future, even if it was converted from a transport ship.

Otherwise, sitting on this shuttle would be too aggrieved.

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 the planet, it can only dock in space.

That's right, space transport ships cannot land on the ground.

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

And these space transport ships simply don't have enough power devices to push the transport ships out of the gravity of the planet and go back into space.

At the beginning of the design, their role was not to travel between the ground and space, but to transport goods in the universe.

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 function of transportation between universes, that's all.

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

You can see densely parked space transport ships in low-Earth orbit above the earth.

Each of these space transport ships is larger than an aircraft carrier, and a group of hundreds of ships is docked on an airport.

On the airport, there is a cable that communicates with the sky and the earth, which is the sky cable.

extends all the way to the ground.

It is also because of this aerospace cable that the space transport ships docked on each airport can drag the airport and these space transport ships and move with the earth when the earth is driven by the planetary engine to fly.

Otherwise, these space transport ships would have been thrown away by the earth long ago.

And on the countless airports anchored to the ground by space cables, besides the space transport ships, there are also various autonomous mechanical aggregates docked.

It is a gigantic entity that is either spherical, or cube, or triangular, formed by the aggregation of countless self-discipline machines.

They are also docked at the airport.

When Lin Xu's cosmic shuttle passed a certain airport, the self-discipline mechanical aggregates docked on it suddenly began to change.

The huge spherical entity that was originally as large as an aircraft carrier suddenly began to move in a regular rhythm on the surface.

Accompanied by the mechanical sound of clicking, the huge spherical entity instantly disintegrated into countless various autonomous machines.

Some of them are as big as a building, and some are as small as a matchbox.

After the disintegration of these self-discipline machines, they immediately reunited.

It's just that they have changed their appearance and are no longer spherical.

Instead, it turned into a cone densely covered with various weapons such as laser cannons, plasma cannons, and electromagnetic cannons.

At the same time, a huge beam of light sprayed out from behind the cone.

After catching up with Lin Xu's space shuttle.

There are a dozen of these cones, each the size of an aircraft carrier.

Surrounding and guarding Lin Xu's space shuttle, which is only the size of a car, it is heading towards Jupiter.

They are not battleships, or it is more appropriate to describe them as weapon aggregates.

Weapons, weapons, and only weapons.

Unreasonably gathering countless weapons together is like installing thirty cannons on a tank.

If it weren't for the fact that autonomous machines can be separated and separated at any time, there would be no such freaks.

And these self-discipline machines, which are like aggregates of weapons, also brought a great sense of security to Lin Xu in the space shuttle.

Suddenly, I felt that if I didn't get any ships, it seemed that there was nothing left.

What kind of ship can compare to an autonomous mechanical escort.

It's no wonder that humans ten thousand years ago didn't have any armaments like space battleships, and at most they made some transport ships.

With self-discipline machines, why do we need space battleships!

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

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

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

It can be said that these self-discipline machines are the greatest inventions of human civilization in the 23rd century, and it is also because of the self-discipline machines that human beings can build long-distance spaceships sufficient for all human beings in the 23rd century.

I don't know how human beings researched such a heaven-defying thing as an autonomous machine.

It can only be attributed to another big explosion of human technology.

Under the escort of more than a dozen aircraft carrier-sized weapon aggregates, Lin Xu arrived at Jupiter in about half a day on a space shuttle.

As the distance to Jupiter got closer and closer, Lin Xu couldn't help becoming a little nervous due to the oppressive feeling brought by the huge celestial body that covered the entire field of vision.

Soon, the shuttle arrived at Europa, an ice-covered moon of Jupiter.

It is also home to the Jupiter Museum.

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

Just like that, he took Miss Qiu directly out of the cabin of the shuttle.

Of course, Lin Xu still brought extra things.

In order to prevent the compressed oxygen in the power armor from being not practical enough, Lin Xu controlled the power armor and incorporated the extra oxygen backpack into the armor.

It made the back of the power armor look a little bloated.

But if you don't look closely, it's actually not that different from before.

　PS: Follow-up reading is very important. It is really important. Only after reading enough, can the book be recommended, get grades, and I can have the energy to write better. So please don’t support the new book period, please help , I can read it every day, thank you!
