It's just that it's not as large as a gas giant.

As for the environment, it's probably not much different from gas giants; both are forbidden zones for carbon-based life.

For example, Neptune in our solar system is a typical icy giant planet.

Its mass reaches 17.147 Earth masses, and its atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium.

The wind speed on its surface even reached 2400 km/h.

For the landing spacecraft, this was nothing short of hell!

It is no exaggeration to say that even with current human technology, landing on an icy giant planet is like having one foot in the grave.

but……

"But this is the only chance..."

Hope's voice trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Hansent also fell silent.

As teammates for decades, Hansent was well aware of Hope's lifelong dream—to enter the Academy of Sciences and contribute to the Human Rights Union.

"By becoming a volunteer and exploring icy giant planets, you can become a member of the Academy of Sciences!"

Hope muttered to himself, "The volunteer pool is looking for mineral prospectors with over fifty years of experience. This is an opportunity tailor-made for me!"

"I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!"

Hansent looked grave and tried to persuade him again.

"Actually, you are already a member of the Academy of Sciences."

"No! I'm not!" Hope roared, somewhat agitated. "A subordinate organization of the Academy of Sciences, how can this be considered a member of the Academy of Sciences?!"

Faced with Hope's questioning, Hansent was speechless.
