Chapter 608: Chapter 360: Europa: Damn it!

If a rocket were launched on May 27 and headed for Jupiter,

then by May 31, it should still be near Earth or just having left Earth’s orbit, in the initial stages of the deep space transfer.

From Earth, it generally takes several years to reach Jupiter, not just a few days.

Hence, within just a few days after launch, the spacecraft couldn’t possibly be close to Jupiter.

In fact, during this period, the spacecraft might be performing some crucial operations, such as orbital adjustment maneuvers to ensure it proceeds correctly along the predetermined path toward Jupiter.

So when Chen Yun thought back to this recently launched spacecraft and had his Soul Emergence on the Super-visual Range Position Perception Token that it carried,

it hadn’t traveled far.

Human technology isn’t advanced to a very high degree, at least it’s nowhere near achieving the inertia-free, abrupt stops and starts from any angle that Chen Yun could execute.

After Chen Yun’s consciousness arrived,

naturally, he couldn’t endure such a sluggish flight process.

Therefore,

he decided to give the spacecraft a bit of a speed boost.

The scale of the universe dictated one thing, that before activating his Space Ability, he needn’t consider the problem of wandering in the universe.

After all, even the speed of light wasn’t sufficient for universe exploration.

How could one dare wander aimlessly without Space Ability?

However, this didn’t include movements only within the Solar System.

The distance between Earth and Jupiter surely is vast.

The distance between Earth and Jupiter is not fixed because both are in elliptical orbits around the Sun, so their relative distance changes over time. However, generally speaking, the average distance between Earth and Jupiter is about 780 million kilometers.

Although it’s sufficiently vast, this distance is, in the grand scale of the universe, rather insignificant.

For Chen Yun,

if he used the speed typical of his Spiritual Position to accelerate the Super-visual Range Position Perception Token, it would take only a few dozen days or perhaps even less time, certainly much faster than the spacecraft’s years of gradual flight attitude adjustments.

Because the double speed of sound often used on Earth is far from Chen Yun’s limit.

If he wished, he only needed to perform a sprint of acceleration over a certain distance to achieve even greater speed in the near vacuum of space.

And at this moment, that’s indeed what Chen Yun did.

Seated in lotus position within an abandoned nuclear power plant in Japan, his consciousness was already piloting the iron-sphere-shaped Super-visual Range Position Perception Token towards the starry sea.

With the guidance of Chen Yun’s consciousness,

the iron-sphere-shaped Super-visual Range Position Perception Token began to rotate slowly, as if gathering strength.

At this moment, the spacecraft’s internal instruments didn’t detect anything unusual, but a faint glow began to emerge on the surface of the iron sphere.

As if surrounded by some mysterious force.

Right after that, the space around the iron sphere seemed to twist slightly, like ripples spreading on water.

This force didn’t come from any physical engine or chemical fuel but originated from Chen Yun’s incredible Spiritual Position.

Gradually, the iron sphere began to lift from the spacecraft’s holding device as if held up by an invisible hand.

When the spacecraft’s monitoring equipment saw this scene, the Earth Command Department behind it also noticed this anomaly.

But the related departments, which had already been taken over by the Dome Council, immediately understood that Chen Yun’s strength was involved.

So they directly chose to turn a blind eye.

And opened the spacecraft’s hatch.

Seeing this, Chen Yun quelled the thought of damaging the spacecraft and promptly sent the iron-sphere-shaped Super-visual Range Position Perception Token out through the open hatch.

Once completely detached from the spacecraft, the iron sphere was no longer subject to the spacecraft’s speed limitations.

Chen Yun’s Spiritual Position, like a sharp blade cutting through the void, opened an unobstructed path for the iron sphere.

Of course,

this is just an exaggerated metaphor and description.

In reality, there was nothing ahead that needed cutting through or clearing.

The iron sphere began to accelerate, its speed rapidly increasing.

From several times the speed of sound to tens of times, and then it reached twenty times the speed of sound.

And that was not the limit.

Under no external forces, an object will remain at rest or in uniform linear motion.

Therefore, without air resistance, it is possible to maintain speed without decay.

Not to mention, Chen Yun could continue to apply force?

This directly provided an acceleration to the iron-sphere-shaped Super-visual Range Position Perception Token, which meant its speed could be almost limitlessly increased.

At such continuously increasing speeds,

there were no fancy special effects.

One shouldn’t expect space distortions around the iron sphere, since its speed and mass weren’t yet enough to have a "spacetime wake."

And don’t expect the path crossed by the iron sphere to leave a trail of shining light, because without air resistance to heat by friction, the iron sphere had no means to become the brightest Meteor in the night sky.

But even if plain and unadorned,

the speed of the iron sphere was indeed rapidly rising.

What would normally take more than two hundred days at a hundred times the speed of sound, was now drastically shortened.

The seemingly insurmountable distance between Earth and Jupiter became trivial under Chen Yun’s Spiritual Position.

The journey that typically required several years now seemed like a mere moment.

Roughly three hours passed,

and Chen Yun, who had recklessly accelerated to tens of thousand times the speed of sound, had already entered Jupiter’s gravitational domain.
