Exploration of a Gaseous Planet

As the flagship, the Lyra should normally be stationed in a distant orbit along with the Residential Spaceship. However, this time was different. It led a fleet of three hundred Lake-Class Warship, and together with the first batch of engineering and research spacecraft, arrived in the geosynchronous orbit of the Rocky Planet.

Human Civilization is already Level 2 Civilization, but ships like the Lake-Class Warship, engineering spacecraft, and research spacecraft still do not directly penetrate the interior of planets.

Because research spacecraft are not small spacecraft; they are as large as the Lyra spacecraft, but mainly contain various laboratories and research institutions, hence the name research spacecraft.

The same applies to engineering-type spacecraft.

The massive spaceship is not suitable for direct landing because it is too big. Its large size and mass would make it difficult to escape once it gets stuck in Planetary Gravity well, even if it is not impossible. It could even cause structural damage due to uneven Gravity, which is completely unnecessary.

Large ships like the Lyra would naturally not land.

They are only used as space platforms.

The landing ships and Landing Ship were specialized landing craft.

While they were busy preparing for exploration and landing on the Rocky Planet, the fleet on the other side of the Gaseous Planet also began its exploration of the Gaseous Planet.

A Factory Spaceship and a Research Spaceship first arrived in orbit around the Gaseous Planet, and then launched probes specially designed for the Gaseous Planet's environment.

Human probes today are vastly different from those of Earth Era.

Despite being called a probe, it doesn't actually have small wing-like solar panels, and its appearance is not as simple as that of an artificial satellite; rather, it's a small spaceship.

"Doctor Niu, the parameters are all correct. We can change the probe's orbit and begin the gas planet exploration mission." Inside the Research Spaceship, a staff member was working diligently.

As it spoke, it picked up something that looked like VR glasses and put it over its head.

This is a remote connection control system.

Once worn, the staff's perspective is switched to the detector's camera; or rather, the camera becomes their eyes.

In this exploration mission, he was a human observer.

The primary purpose of Gaseous Planet exploration missions is to search for traces of their moons. Scientists speculate that if moons existed and crashed onto Gaseous Planet, they should have left some traces in the inner core of the Gaseous Planet.

This trace is the material composition of the core of Gaseous Planet.

Scientists want to use methods such as spectroscopy and Neutrino Detection to analyze the specific material composition of the core of Gaseous Planet, and then compare it with the material composition of a Rocky Planet.

If the similarity and overlap are very high, it is very likely caused by the swallowing of a satellite. Of course, scientists also speculate that if its satellite was indeed swallowed, because the rotation of this Gaseous Planet is already very high, much of the swallowed material may still be floating in the atmosphere of the Gaseous Planet.

In this exploration, scientists also wanted to confirm one thing: they wanted to know whether Gaseous Planet have solid surfaces.

Gaseous Planet like Jupiter and Saturn are common in the universe, but humans have never had the time to explore their interiors. Therefore, scientists firmly believe that this exploration will bring us a lot of data about planetary evolution.

In the past, it was believed that the main reason why Gaseous Planet are planets is that they are not large enough. Therefore, it can be inferred that their composition is still mainly composed of hydrogen and helium.

But is its core also composed of only these two elements?

After all, according to the original theory, if Gaseous Planet had a larger mass, it would be possible for it to ignite its core under strong Gravity, undergo a thermonuclear reaction, and become a star.

So, do Gaseous Planet possess the qualities of stars? Or do they have solid surfaces and rocky cores, thus only being planets?

This research is of great significance to the study of Star System evolution.

Because almost everyone knows that this generation of stars is essentially the third generation. The formation of this generation of stars is based on the material ejected from the dying stars of the previous generation. So why did hydrogen gather and ignite to form stars at the very beginning of star formation, while Heavy Element gathered elsewhere to form Rocky Planet? Since it was a chaotic era, why couldn't Heavy Element and Hydrogen Element mix and cluster together? What exactly happened during this process? Furthermore, could Gaseous Planet be the result of the evolution of Heavy Element clustering together?

As is well known, the reason why Supernova Explosion occur at the end of the evolution of massive stars is that the core contains Heavy Element, causing the Nuclear Fusion Contergan. Then, unable to maintain its own Gravity balance, it collapses inward. Then, in the near-light-speed collapse of matter, it violently collides, and finally, due to the extreme collision, it bursts out with great energy, resulting in Supernova Explosion.

So, if Star System's Gravity convergence point at the beginning of its evolution had a large amount of Heavy Element, would that Star System be unable to ignite and form a star because of this, and instead, due to its large mass, skip this stage and explode directly after the Heavy Element collapse, eventually becoming a black hole?

Or, to put it another way, do black holes of this origin even exist? If so, how do they differ from black holes formed after the Supernova Explosion of supermassive stars? Are they Primordial Black Hole? Second-generation black holes? Third-generation black holes? Is its point of infinity a singularity? Or Singular Ring? Where is its solid surface?

The answers to all these questions may be found in this mission to explore the cores of Gaseous Planet.

With answers to these questions, humanity's model of cosmic evolution will inevitably be improved, and many previously blank areas will be filled.

The so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change; these things are the accumulation of quantitative changes in human progress. We all know that Credits and various technologies are actually related, and for a civilization to move to a higher level, it is best for all branches of technology to advance in tandem.

Because what prompts humanity to discover technologies that signify higher levels of civilization may very well be a previously insignificant Credits.

Under remote control by humans, the Probe Spaceship first crossed the strong magnetic field radiation zone of the Gaseous Planet and arrived at the outermost gaseous layer of Jupiter.

At this point, the Probe Spaceship adjusted its attitude, landing upside down, and began using its thrusters to resist the powerful Gravity of the Gaseous Planet and slow its descent.

In the past, when humans collected hydrogen and helium from Gaseous Planet, they basically worked on this layer. They would set up collection nets here, then use powerful engines to escape the Gaseous Planet's Gravity, ultimately completing the resource collection.

But this time it was an exploration, so the Probe Spaceship did not stop after arriving at this level and continued to descend.
