\"Explore No. 2\" scientific examination ship successfully completed the deep sea origin

On June 6, the \"Exploration No. 2\" science ship was equipped with equipment such as deep sea base station and other equipment to return to the deep sea in situ science experimental station 2022.

This voyage was organized by the Institute of Deep Sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The main task was to carry out the development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Class A pilot \"Deep Sea/Abyss Intelligent Technology and Underwater Original Science Experimental Station\" The process of the series of equipment in the series of equipment includes deep -sea base stations, deep -sea original laboratories, deep sea glider machines, and virtual anchor communication buoy. Sea testing has verified the main functions of various types of equipment, and launched an integrated test of the underwater in -site science experimental station system.

Chen Jun, an associate researcher at the Institute of Deep Sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: Our focus on the focus , Verify the ability of base station system control, energy management, submarine sites, and various ways of communication. At the same time, we also carried out integrated tests with the original laboratory. After the two types of equipment were distributed independently, the manned submersible through the \"Struggler\" manned submersible was connected to the base station at the bottom of the sea. For room power supply and communication, the entire system was stable for 7 days at the bottom of more than 1,400 meters.

According to reports, the Deep Sea in situ science experimental station is a new type of scientific examination equipment, which uses a modular design, with the deep sea base station as the core, and can carry ultra -large capacity energy sources to carry out for a long time on the bottom of the sea for a long time. Continuous operations; expansion of the original laboratory and other detection platforms through an underwater insertion connection, and carry out long -term in situ experiments and detection; the information interaction between scientific experiment stations and control centers through gliding machines or virtual anchor system communication buoys.

What is the \"original science experiment\" just mentioned? Let's take a brief understanding.

In situ science experiment is a new technology compared to traditional marine survey methods. Traditional marine survey is to take samples of water body, sediment, biology and other samples on the sea floor Come up and go to the land laboratory for testing. During the sampling process, the temperature and pressure of the sample are artificially changed. What you recognize is not the real deep sea.

The original scientific experiment performed this time is to detect the nature of water, sediments, and creatures directly at the in situ of the deep sea, especially the long -term scientific experiments. The long -term biochemical process research or emergencies of biochemistry in deep sea is of great significance.
