Beautiful Scenery
Once we get there, we can eliminate all environmental interference and verify what elements make up its core and in what form it exists.
In this way, the theory of Gaseous Planet evolution can be perfected.
While Quantum Entanglement -based Neutrino Detection can indeed detect neutrinos through the nucleus, they are not very accurate. Moreover, what humans need is not just Neutrino Detection data, but also various parameters such as spectral, electrical, and magnetic properties.
So with only Neutrino Detection remaining, the mission was declared a failure. However, scientists wanted to see how deep the Probe Spaceship could dive so they could make improvements for the next mission.
Sure enough, not long after, the internal mechanical structure of the Probe Spaceship's propeller broke, the propeller stopped instantly, and the Probe Spaceship lost its descent power instantly.
At the same time, due to the density difference between the Probe Spaceship and the environment, the Probe Spaceship, which lost power, was like a bottle filled with air being pressed into water and then suddenly released. It was violently squeezed by Liquid Metallic Hydrogen. The pressure difference caused the Probe Spaceship to be pushed upwards at an extremely high speed, like a cannonball.
Finally, like water emerging from an empty bottle, it leaps out from the surface of Liquid Metallic Hydrogen, then traces a parabola, floating and sinking within the thick hydrogen cloud, eventually being enveloped by the dense hydrogen cloud and swirling together in the Gaseous Planet.
At this moment, the Probe Spaceship is in a state of equilibrium between gravity and buoyancy.
From the Probe Spaceship entered the Gaseous Planet to its reentry, a total of three days had passed. During these three days, humanity collected a vast amount of data about the Gaseous Planet's interior, and also obtained numerous parameters related to the performance of its own spacecraft.
The mission was a failure, but scientists will continue to improve the Probe Spaceship based on this failure. They need to consider the power transmission problem, since they have already identified the cause of the mission's failure. They also need to consider the placement of the optical detectors, as placing the optical detection equipment on the outside of the Probe Spaceship is no longer feasible.
Humanity's Alloy No. 2 uses materials with a high temperature resistance of up to 280 million degrees Celsius. In theory, such a powerful high-temperature resistant material should not melt even at the core of the sun, but it has yet to reach the true core of a Gaseous Planet.
Upon receiving news of the mission's failure, Yue Yuan, aboard the Lyra, fell silent.
Yue Yuan originally thought that with this material, humanity might be able to confront stars like the sun head-on, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
To enter the interior of a star, high-temperature resistant materials alone are not enough; other technologies must also advance in tandem. Yes, humanity's No. 2 Alloy Material can withstand such high temperatures and pressures, but if it were to actually enter the star's interior, it would merely become a piece of sheet material floating there.
Yue Yuan made no comment on the failure, saying that failure is the mother of success and that the subsequent experimental tasks for improvement would be led by that group of scientists.
After handing the mission report back to his assistant, Yue Yuan turned his gaze back to the large screen on the bridge of the Lyra.
What's displayed on the big screen now is a split screen, and within that split screen are scenes of Rocky Planet.
These images were taken by orbiting satellites and the first landers.
Humanity is now 100% certain that this is a thriving Life Planet.
These images and videos reveal a Rocky Planet with towering High Mountain, Snow Mountain- capped peaks, countless towering trees, and dense forests. It boasts vast continents and turbulent oceans.
Of course, apart from the Snow Mountain being white, the plants and oceans here are different from those on Earth.
Earth's plants are predominantly green, while here they are predominantly purple. Aside from the color difference, the plants here are generally thicker and more robust than those on Earth, which is likely related to the higher concentration of Carbon Dioxide.
While its sky is also blue, it is much lighter than Earth's, and can be described as remarkably clear. Unlike Earth's blue sky, the blue hue here is due to atmospheric scattering and atmospheric molecules, but not because of the absence of an ozone layer.
When the light from that Orange Dwarf Star in the sky shines on the planet, the light is scattered irregularly due to the tiny particles in the atmosphere, making the light more evenly distributed. The intensity of the scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength, so short-wavelength blue light is more easily scattered.
Therefore, the sky appears a pale blue.
Of course, without the ozone layer, and with an atmospheric composition that is very different from Earth's, this blue area appears very clear, almost visible to the naked eye from outer space.
The ocean is as clear as the sky. It reflects the colors of the sky, and humans can even see the submerged continental shelf in aerial images of the ocean.
Animals swimming in the shallow sea are also clearly visible.
Because this Rocky Planet has no moons, it does not have the strong, periodic ocean tides that Earth does, but it does have them.
Whenever this Rocky Planet passes through a constellation of three stars—its Main Sequence Star Orange Dwarf Star and its outer-orbiting Gaseous Planet —it will cause tidal phenomena of varying degrees to occur in its oceans.
Based on the orbital periods of the two planets, this tidal cycle is approximately 24 Earth years. The Rocky Planet's orbital period is 17.997 years, which is slightly more than one year.
The ocean's tidal cycle is so long that its ocean is relatively calmer than the Earth's. Basically, all ocean movements are caused by temperature differences.
Judging from the images, this planet truly deserves to be called a beautiful one. Frankly, if it weren't for the excessively high concentration of Carbon Dioxide in its atmosphere, along with some toxic gases, humans might actually have been able to transform it into a habitable planet over hundreds of years.
Unfortunately, the Carbon Dioxide concentration is too high, and humans lack the species and plants found in Earth's biosphere. If the atmospheric structure is altered to reduce the Carbon Dioxide concentration, the greenhouse effect will inevitably decrease, causing a sharp drop in temperature and ultimately destroying the planet's ecosystem.
Environmental alteration is a systemic process that affects everything; it's impossible for life on a planet to survive after the composition and structure of the atmosphere have been changed.
After humans arrived, this Rocky Planet was arbitrarily registered in the database as Orange Dwarf Star-1. However, after various images were transmitted back, many people wanted to name it after the planet's environmental characteristics, but others thought that it was better to wait and see if there was Sentient Life.
