Chinese deep-sea glider set a world record

The Chinese deep-water glider sank to a record depth of 8213 meters while exploring the Mariana Trench, reports RIA News China Central Television Post.

Today, the research vessel “Syanjun 18” returned to the base port of the State Oceanological Administration of the People’s Republic of China, which 30 spent days of research in the Mariana Trench region. On board were gliders "Haiyan - 4000" and "Haiyan - 10000". ("Petrel").

In total, the vehicles made 18 dives.

The largest working depth was 8213 meters, which was a new world record for deep-sea diving,

said the channel.

According to journalists, "scientists were able to collect a large amount of valuable data from deep-sea observations."

The channel recalled that in May 2017 of the Jiaolong apparatus made a successful dive to the depth of 7811 meters (in the Challenger Void) in the Mariana Trench region. And in 2012, the same deep-sea craft dropped to a 7062 meter.

There is practically nothing to watch at such depth. Although there are deep-sea inhabitants such as "anglerfish" or whatever they have there ..

This is probably the first UAVsinking so deep. Or maybe the first chinese drone ...
But what is “a large amount of valuable data from deep-sea observations” is really incomprehensible. Far from the bottom and surface, life is almost empty. To meet which jellyfish is already a rarity. There can not be much life, there is almost no oxygen, anaerobic life in the absence of light should consume proteins or some other energy-containing molecules, which are also almost absent there.

[dzvero]

It can be of different value ... About fish and jellyfish - to the public - look how developed we are and where we climbed. By the way, deep-sea bacteria and other organisms may turn out to be a source of new enzymes and metabolites. But in my opinion, the main “menu” is exploration of resources and identification of opportunities for their extraction. Ferruginous nodules for example. Also, the military component cannot be neglected - to find and connect to communication lines, to set “bookmarks” on the coast of probable partners, etc. Thus, China is gaining experience and is closely approaching the creation of its deep-sea robots.

But the Mariana Trench is the most reliable place, it’s unlikely that you’ll find anything hidden there, and the States are not far away, but they’ve tested the equipment for these purposes ... Well, since

Scientific interest is not limited to penis size. The super-deep well program (there were several) was very expensive and required serious technological breakthroughs. And the development of technology is a lot of money that does not always bring returns. And here, just the case when the money goes for basic research, the subject is not at all commercial. The program was simply withdrawn from financing. I won’t tell you the intricacies, only veterans of the USSR Ministry of Geology can share them. The minister personally oversaw the program.

A few are two more .... which did not even come close to the depth of the Kola .... Why only Min of geology? All three wells were drilled under a bunch of supervisory authorities ... the most important KGB ....

You have probably seen how the UHF eliminates any impulse. The picture is symbolic - one worker with a shovel is picking at the bottom of the pit, and another 5-7 people are sitting on the edges of the pit and periodically “advises” him. So here - Mingeology drills, and around a couple of dozen "laboratories" control the process and interpret the results. In fact, in any state, a big deal is done in much the same way.

Better, I agree, but evolution has instilled the killing instinct in people very seriously. More primitive people with stones
skulls were crushed in each other's hands (tribe to tribe).
Suspicion ("if I do not kill him, then tomorrow he will come and

to other planets.

For example, in the Himalayas, the thickness of the Earth's lithosphere is ~~ 1000 km. One of the plates, plunging beneath the other, passed oil through the asthenosphere like a knife, and rested against a crystalline but homogeneous mesosphere. Further --- no way!
On the Moon, for example, this in principle cannot happen (by the way, there is no mesosphere there either!). On Venus, too, but for another reason --- there the lithosphere is thinner than the asthenopause, and the plates do not sink deep. About Mars is still unclear. It is only known that there is a transition from tectonics of the "terrestrial" type to the "lunar" type, and that Mars is the only one of the inner planets that is a distinctly three-axis ellipsoid. Something like this.

"Chinese plastic" I called figuratively. And the fact that your photo is not much "stronger" plastic. With such a wall thickness as in the photo, tens of meters of depth can be risked, but no more. I also remembered. Last year, the Chinese caught an American underwater robot in neutral waters. The Americans made a big noise. How did it end? Infa never met.

2-3 years ago on the site of V.O. there was a wonderful article about Soviet underwater houses. The most valuable experience of the aquanauts of the USA, France and the USSR showed that a diving bell and a pressure chamber on a ship are safer and cheaper than houses under water. Well, from the 70s of the last century, technology for deep-sea research has gone forward. "Sevmash" is almost remembered in the light of the peaceful development of the ocean. But it was the NSR that made the underwater house "Chernomor", in the 90s there was a pleasure submarine, which today rots after the Caribbean Sea near Chayachy Island. But "Sarov" and "Losharik" explore hydrocosmos for military purposes. We watched cartoons of Russia with military robot-aquanauts, now we are waiting for an answer from China.

[u1977020556]

I am not happy with China, it is very worrying. They have a major record - there are a lot of them in a completely limited area with a finite resource base. And the blackest evil emanating from this state is the consent of them and their authorities to any cramped space, so long as it does not harm the birth rate. The Chinese are bad, this is very bad. Their refugees illegally crossing our border are millionth locusts, which immediately begins to multiply like maggots in shit in any territory they are allowed to occupy. I am talking about the so-called "sparsely populated" territories of the Far East. They are already there everywhere together with their problem of self-disrespect for themselves (uncontrolled fertility) and criminal "Amur" connections! . Why are the media silent, where are the statistics and interviews with local residents!? Who decided that we do not need our Far East!? ... It would be better if their "records" were periodically covered there, as well as the volumes of illegally exported forests and other crimes. In the Far East, untouched technogenic nature and unique conditions both for human life and for the science of the future, which will be directly related to bio- and nanotechnology. And it would be nice to show an interview taken from Russian people who for some reason suddenly left there, selling an apartment to the same Chinese for a penny and took a mortgage in a new place (Moscow, Vladimir and other regions) that they could not pay during his lifetime, even a third.
I’m a Slav, I don’t like the Chinese, they are even less trustworthy than EUROPE and the Turks and the same discomfort with their appearance.
If you keep silent further, the time will come very soon, and this problem will be exploited by the enemies of our state, who are waiting for us to screw up something big somewhere.

[Reptiloid]

Only Joseph Stalin did not think whether China would please you or not. He tried to create a strong alliance with China. Through China, there was influence on Southeast Asia. If this policy were continued, now much could have been different. However, corn has reset everything. China made friends with the states and rose. And our big country was destroyed, continuing the corn business!

But what about the immersion of James Cameron in 2012 ?? He sank to the bottom of the hollow at 10 900 m? Or do the Chinese have their own “world records”?

[yanturjin]

How lovely. I'm talking about comments about jellyfish and "there is nothing to watch." And if you look? About the real purpose of this couleby?

We take a large-caliber torpedo with a fair supply of batteries (or maybe a tiny reactor), insert it into a pumpkin, a ballistic missile and GPS and a set of action programs for any “fire cases” and send a conditionally respected “partner” to patrol along the coast.

The first thing to remember is PLANER. And so long as there is something about which he can lean with his wings, he can move. Silent and very secretive. Planning from the surface to the bottom, he at the same time moves along the path prescribed by the programmers. Having reached the bottom, this kulebyaka makes easy ballast blowing and starts ... Yes, yes! Plan back to the surface. To the point where you can set the GPS antenna and the air intake tube (than you need to displace the ballast). And so infinitely slowly, inevitably and imperceptibly.

Here it is the Great "Chinese Dead Hand". It doesn’t matter when your country has been bombed into dust and driven into the Stone Age. Gliders will reach and greet the coastal ports of the aggressor with elegant fireworks.

[sharp-lad]

Reaching the bottom, this kulebyaka makes easy ballast purging and starts ...
Well, what can of 806 bar have to take with you? Most likely they acted in the old fashion, having reached the planned depth, dropped the ordinary ballast and further according to your description.

[sharp-lad]

The largest working depth was 8213 meters, which was a new world record for deep-sea diving,
I'm not hinting at anything, but ..
The first man sank to the bottom of the Mariana Trench was made on January 23, 1960 by US Navy lieutenant Don Walsh and researcher Jacques Picard in the Trieste bathyscaphe designed by Jacques Auguste Picard's father. The instruments recorded a record depth of 11 meters (adjusted value of 521 m). At the bottom, researchers unexpectedly met flat fish up to 10 cm in size, similar to flounder
Perhaps a record for devices such as "glider".

[NikolaiN]

I remember that at the end of 2016, the Chinese stole a deep-sea apparatus from the Amers in the South China Sea. After a while, they gave it back to the owners. After that, the topic with the development of their drones they sharply went up :)))

Hehe
Since the purpose of this apparition is not the bottom of the Mariana Trench, but the coast and ports, it is not necessary to drop the glider up to 8 km. Enough for a thermocline and vice versa. And it’s ballast ... disposable. Dumped and float on the surface and without movement. So only air or chemical reactions at worst.
Most importantly, there are no sounds inherent in the EU. Every 6-12 hours, the ballast purge is disguised to the sounds of mating penguins)))
