Scientific Data Accumulation Is Also a Form of Strength
The first batch of seven Probe Spaceship all safely arrived at their Roche Limit critical orbits, calculated based on the probes' mass, material properties, and the black hole's mass Gravity. The Probe Spaceship's journey to the black hole proceeded smoothly: initially traveling at Warp, then switching to conventional thrusters once within a certain range of the black hole, all within precisely calculated orbital distances, without any unexpected incidents.
The second batch also consisted of seven Probe Spaceship, but unlike the first batch, these probes did not follow the conventional course of navigation. Three of them directly headed towards the Roche Limit the black hole using Warp Speed Travel. This batch of Probe Spaceship was experimental in nature; their navigation and overall status were monitored in real-time by onboard instruments, and they were also under the photographic surveillance of the previous batch of Probe Spaceship.
Almost without exception, all three spaceships encountered an accident. Before even reaching the Roche Limit of the black hole, Warp Speed Travel began to veer off course. It wasn't that the human instruments malfunctioned; the Force Field Generator were intact. However, the powerful Gravity of the black hole interfered with the Warp field, causing it to become uncontrollable, and thus the Probe Spaceship veered off course.
When the Probe Spaceship veers off course, humans can still see from the data fed back by the monitoring module installed on the Probe Spaceship that the spacecraft's Warp field automated control system is still trying to correct the strength and direction of the force field, but ultimately it is all in vain.
The more the Probe Spaceship's Intelligent System was corrected, the more uncontrollable it became, eventually running around like a headless fly in Warp. Then, it was pulled directly by the black hole's Gravity in a faster-than-light Warp spiral. Finally, the Warp Engine malfunctioned, forcing it to exit Warp and fall into the black hole.
It has been proven that Warp Speed Travel under extreme Gravity conditions is extremely dangerous, especially near black holes, far more so than the experiments humans conducted near Gaseous Planet, reaching the point of annihilation. While the experimental spacecraft did experience forced Warp exit during their experiments near Gaseous Planet, the Warp Engine remained intact, and the spacecraft were even able to re-enter normal flight mode after exiting Warp Speed Travel, propelling themselves away from the Gaseous Planet's near orbit.
Some experimental spacecraft, due to the needs of extreme experiments, were even able to make an emergency landing on Rocky Planet after being forced out of Warp.
With current shipbuilding technology and materials science, human ships are fully capable of resisting the Gravity influence of ordinary planets. Planet-Class Warship could land on planets without any problem, and would not be torn apart by the Gravity tides of these ordinary celestial bodies.
Therefore, while Warp Speed Travel is not suitable for near-orbital travel around conventional celestial bodies, it won't necessarily result in the destruction of the spacecraft and loss of life. To be precise, with current human Warp Speed Travel technology, for planets like Earth, as long as a human spacecraft reaches orbit, it can initiate Warp to leave. Although there are still some risks, the process of entering Warp will be slower, and it's not possible to directly reach ten times the Warp light, but reaching one time the Warp light is still possible.
Of course, it is still difficult to directly initiate Warp Speed Travel on the surface of a planet and leave. After many experiments, human scientists have concluded that the human Warp field is not strong enough and has not yet reached the level of being able to violently enter Warp. Materials technology and Warp Engine manufacturing technology are also among the influencing factors.
In short, scientists believe that with technological advancements, humanity will one day be able to achieve Warp speeds directly on the surface of a planet.
This Warp experiment near a black hole aims to collect more data for this research, which will also provide valuable information for future human navigation in various Gravity environments of the universe.
In the future, if we encounter environments like Neutron Star stars or magnetars, human scientists will still need to conduct related spaceflight experiments to collect data for humanity. As an Interstellar Civilization, this kind of data is essential, as it represents a civilization's hidden strength.
Of the second batch of Probe Spaceship, three ultimately met their fate of crashing into the black hole, but they brought humanity invaluable scientific data. The other four were conducting a different experiment; they approached the black hole methodically, continuing their journey without pause after reaching the position of the first batch.
After reaching this point, they released several meteorites that had been sealed in metal boxes by humans from their storage space. Thus, human scientists witnessed the process of natural objects being torn apart by Gravity within the Roche Limit a black hole.
As the metal boxes were opened, the meteorites released inside were decomposed by Gravity tides. The huge meteorites were torn apart like pancake foam, with cracks appearing on their surface. The tearing into large pieces and the tearing into powder happened almost simultaneously. In just a few seconds, the huge meteorites were torn into small fragments and then powder. Finally, under the pull of the black hole's Gravity, they were stretched into a long dust belt, and then, due to the conservation of angular momentum, they orbited the black hole and fell inward.
This process was faithfully recorded by humans and became real data in a database used for simulating celestial interactions.
It is certain that in the future, when humans need to conduct celestial collision simulations, they will inevitably use this data. This data, which comes from real sources, will make human simulations more realistic, rather than being computer-generated deductions.
Clearly, the four Probe Spaceship have now reached a position exceeding the Roche Limit radius of a black hole for natural objects. However, these four probes are creations of human technology, and their materials are far stronger than those of natural objects. Therefore, the black hole cannot tear them apart within the Roche Limit radius of a natural object. This logic is easy to understand.
If there is enough of this torn material, it will form what is known as Accretion Disk.
After releasing the meteorites, the four Probe Spaceship continued to approach the black hole, their destination being its Innermost Stable Circular Orbit. However, humanity clearly overestimated the materials and technology of these four probes; before they even reached the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit, they followed in the footsteps of the previous meteorites.
Seeing this, scientists know that with the strength of conventional materials, it is impossible to reach the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit of a black hole.
Since conventional materials won't work, let's use No. 2 Alloy Material.
Launching Probe Spaceship made of No. 2 Alloy Material towards the black hole was part of the plan of human scientists. They had already made preparations before setting off to study the black hole, so the third batch of Probe Spaceship was launched soon afterward.
The results were quickly relayed to the Scientific Research Center exploring the black hole. The detectors, almost entirely made of No. 2 Alloy Material, lived up to expectations, surpassing the range where the previous batch of detectors had been torn apart. However, they ultimately failed to reach the target orbit because their internal detection instruments malfunctioned due to being torn apart by the powerful Gravity. They then went out of control and were completely captured by the black hole's Gravity, being pulled inward. In the end, even the empty shell made of No. 2 Alloy Material could not maintain its original shape and was torn apart by the powerful Gravity.
Humans have also detected the location where they were torn apart, which is about four times the radius of the black hole. It's still a little short, but human scientists are not discouraged.
Because if this black hole has Accretion Disk, then this area is already within the Accretion Disk.
