Chapter 252 Beautiful Scenery

As long as we get there, we can eliminate the interference of various environmental factors and verify what elements its core is made of and what form it exists in.

In this way, the theory of gaseous planet evolution can be improved.

The neutrino detector based on quantum entanglement can certainly detect it through, but that is not very accurate, and humans need not only neutrino detection data, but also various parameters such as spectrum, electrical properties, magnetic properties, etc.

So when only neutrino detection is left, this mission has been declared a failure, but scientists still want to see how deep this exploration spacecraft can dive so that they can make improvements next time.

Sure enough, not long after, the internal mechanical structure of the propeller of the exploration spacecraft broke, the propeller stopped instantly, and the descent power of the exploration spacecraft was instantly lost.

At the same time, due to the density difference between the exploration spacecraft and the environment, the exploration spacecraft that lost power was like a bottle full of air being pressed into the water, and then suddenly let go, and was suddenly squeezed by liquid metal hydrogen. The pressure difference between the upper and lower parts caused the exploration spacecraft to be pushed upward at a very fast speed, like a cannonball.

Finally, like an empty bottle out of water, it jumped out from the surface of liquid metal hydrogen, and then drew a parabola, floating in the thick hydrogen cloud layer, and finally was wrapped by the dense hydrogen cloud and surrounded by the atmosphere of the gas planet.

At this time, the state of the exploration spacecraft is in a state of balance between gravity and buoyancy.

It took a total of three days from the exploration spacecraft entering the gas planet to being bounced back. During these three days, humans collected a large amount of data about the interior of the gas planet, and also obtained many parameters related to the performance of human spacecraft.

This mission failed, but scientists will continue to improve the exploration spacecraft based on this failure. They have to consider the problem of force transmission. After all, they have found the reason for the failure of this mission. At the same time, they also have to consider the placement of optical detectors, because it is no longer feasible to place optical detection equipment outside the exploration spacecraft.

The human No. 2 alloy has a high temperature resistance of up to 280 million degrees Celsius. It stands to reason that such a strong high temperature resistant material will not be melted even if it reaches the core of the sun, but now it cannot even reach the real core of a gas planet.

Yue Yuan on the Tianqin was silent after receiving the news of the failure of this mission.

Originally, Yue Yuan thought that after possessing this material, humans might be able to face a star like the sun head-on, but now it seems that he thought too much.

To enter the interior of a star, it is not enough to have high-temperature resistant materials, and other technologies must also go hand in hand. Yes, the No. 2 alloy material of mankind can withstand such high temperature and pressure, but if it really enters the interior of a star, it will only become a floating plate there.

Yue Yuan did not make any comments on this failure. Failure is the mother of success. The subsequent improved experimental tasks will be presided over by that group of scientists.

After handing the mission report back to the assistant next to him, Yue Yuan looked back at the large screen in the bridge of the Tianqin.

Now the large screen shows a fast split screen, and the split screen shows scenes on rocky planets.

These are the pictures taken by orbiting satellites and the first batch of landing probes.

Now humans have confirmed 100% that this is a thriving planet with life.

From these groups of pictures and videos, we can see that this rocky planet has towering mountains, snow-capped mountains, countless towering trees, dense forests everywhere, vast continents, and turbulent oceans.

Of course, in addition to the white snow-capped mountains, the plants and oceans here are different from those on Earth.

The plants on Earth are mainly green, while here they are mainly purple. In addition to the different colors, the plants here are generally thicker than those on Earth, which is probably related to the high concentration of carbon dioxide.

Although its sky is also blue, it is much lighter than that on Earth, and it can be said to be very clear. There are some differences from the blue sky on Earth. The reason why the sky here is blue is, first, atmospheric scattering, and second, atmospheric molecules, but there is no ozone layer.

When the light of the orange dwarf star in the sky shines on the planet, the light will be scattered irregularly due to the tiny particles in the atmosphere, making the light more evenly distributed, and the intensity of the scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength, so short-wave blue light is more easily scattered.

Therefore, the sky appears light blue.

Of course, without the ozone layer, and with the atmosphere composition being very different from that of the Earth, this blue appears very clear, almost visible to the naked eye from outer space.

As clear as the sky is the ocean. The sea reflects the color of the sky, and humans can even see the more submerged continental shelf from the ocean images taken from high altitude.

Animals wandering in the shallow sea are also clearly visible.

Since this rocky planet has no satellites, it does not have periodic strong ocean tides like the Earth, but it does have them.

Whenever this rocky planet orbits to form a triple conjunction with its main sequence orange dwarf and an outer orbiting gas planet, it will also cause tidal phenomena of varying degrees in its ocean.

According to the orbital period of the two planets, this tidal period is about 24 Earth years. The orbital period of this rocky planet is 17.997 years, which is more than one year.

The ocean tide cycle is so long that its ocean is calmer than that of the Earth. Basically, the cause of various ocean movements is the temperature difference.

From the pictures, this planet can indeed be called a beautiful planet. To be honest, if it were not for the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and some toxic gas components, perhaps humans could really transform it into a planet suitable for human life in hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, the concentration of carbon dioxide is too high, and humans do not have species and plants in the Earth's biosphere. Once the atmospheric structure is changed and the concentration of carbon dioxide is reduced, the greenhouse effect will inevitably be reduced, causing its temperature to drop sharply, and eventually destroying the planet's ecosystem.

Environmental transformation is something that affects the entire body at once. It is impossible for the planet's creatures to survive after changing the atmospheric composition and structure.

After humans arrived, this rocky planet was randomly registered in the database with a name called Orange Dwarf-1. However, after various pictures were sent back, many people wanted to name it after the environmental characteristics of the planet, but some people thought that it would be better to wait for a while to see if there is intelligent life.
