Super Craftsman

The working environment is so good, if you do n’t work hard, I ’m sorry for the boss, so all the staff who come out of this trip are very responsible. This includes the assistant brought by James and Chu Fei's assistant.

The weather has been very good these days, with calm and calm. The Dragon Palace has rushed to the Arctic Point in advance, as is the icebreaker, so Guo Tailai arrived at the Arctic Point within a few hours after they boarded the helicopter.

In summer, there is no difference between day and night on the North Pole. There is only day, which is the polar day of the Arctic.

Because he rushed all the way, James got on board and took a break for a few hours before starting to prepare for the dive.

"Holy hit! Why is it so big?" James exclaimed when he saw the submersible.

He rested as soon as he got on the boat, and James didn't take a closer look at what the deep submersible looked like. Although Guo Tailai's deep submersible is not a secret for senior officials in several countries, it is still a commercial secret for ordinary people and even people at the James level. I don't know what it looks like. Even James only knew that Guo Tailai had designed it and Guo Tailai had made it, but he did n’t know that the deep submersible made by Guo Tailai was so big.

"Is it big? Not big!" Guo Tai came to look at the submersible and then James. He couldn't help explaining: "According to my original idea, the pressure shell should be at least four meters in diameter, because it is temporarily The technology cannot be achieved, so it can only achieve a diameter of three meters and six. "

"Three meters and six meters in diameter is not big yet?" James was almost smirked by Guo Tailai's words: "I contacted a deep submersible design company before, you know they gave me a preliminary design of the pressure shell diameter of the deep submersible. How big is it? Less than one meter and one, I have to squat inside if I want to ride. You ... "

"Abyss!" Guo Tailai told James the name of the submersible. This name is also derived from Guo Tai, anyway, he is the boss, the biggest money, no one has objections.

"Your Abyss submersible pressure shell is three meters in diameter and six, I can sleep in a bed inside, is not big enough?" James is simply surprised, normal people, let him choose to squat in a small sphere There are eight or nine hours in it and eight or nine hours in a single room. What's more, the larger the Abyss, the greater the payload that can be carried, and the greater the possibility that James wants to carry a large and heavy 3dmax camera.

"Okay!" Guo Tailai can only nod: "For the time being, it should be the largest of the currently known deep submersibles."

I didn't pay attention before, but now I realized that this thing accidentally set a world record again.

"How about safety performance?" James asked again. This is not that he does not trust Guo Tailai, but that the Abyss will take him and Guo Tailai to dive. Of course, the safer the better, always ask your heart.

"The pressure-resistant shell made of 150mm thick homogeneous titanium alloy, and several observation windows are very high-strength transparent materials." Guo Tailai didn't mind James' inquiry and explained very seriously: "Theoretically It is no problem to dive to 13,000 kilometers. Now the Abyss has been submerged for 4 kilometers for testing, and ultrasonic and X-ray inspections have been used. No cracks or damage have been found, which is very safe. "

"The payload of this abyss reached one ton. Apart from our weight, we can also carry hundreds of kilograms of equipment." Guo Tailai then explained: "The space is large enough, so we can stay comfortable and observe around. There are also enough holes, and the lighting system is also very good, which allows us to enjoy the seabed scenery. The life-support system is enough for us to consume more than one hundred hours, and the escape system is also very good. Quickly take us to the surface of the sea, the booster system will work automatically to save us from the decompression sickness. In short, very safe! "

"What about communication?" James asked again.

"Currently the latest underwater acoustic communication technology." Guo Tailai laughed: "We can guarantee that we can maintain communication with a delay of less than five seconds under the water and the water surface of four kilometers. Of course, for insurance, one can be released every 500 meters. The underwater communication repeater, suspended in the sea water, ensures communication without worry. "

Of course, the new underwater acoustic communication technology cannot let James know that this is just a conventional way for Guo Tai, including those inside the design company who only know so much. However, in an obscure place of the Abyss, the latest domestic research and development of underwater acoustic communicator is installed. It has high bandwidth and high image quality, and it is just using the Abyss to test at different depths.

All the crew of the Dragon Palace, including the captain, are excellent soldiers retired from the Navy. Among them, a few of the secret testers are too simple and unremarkable. In the previous test, everything went well.

After a detailed understanding of the performance of the Abyss, James began to install shooting equipment with his assistant. I didn't know the real performance of the Abyss before, so I brought ordinary photography equipment. When I dive down to the Mariana Trench next time, I can bring a 3D camera.

The spherical pressure shell with a diameter of three meters and six, the internal space is close to ten square meters, two people plus a driver are more than enough, the space is very abundant. You should know that in the future dream, the Jiaolong, which has an inner diameter of two meters and one, can ride three people in it. The Abyss is obviously more relaxed.

This time, there will be an experienced driver responsible for driving. When the dive is down to the Mariana Trench, there will be only two people. Guo Tailai will be driving and James will be shooting.

The large space is really comfortable. Guo Tailai even installed two first-class seats inside the aircraft. The original driver's behavior was also intended to be the same, which was opposed by all designers. This was replaced by a very comfortable driver's seat. chair. The large seats for two passengers can even be put down into two beds as long as they want, and lie comfortably on them. Rotate to different left and right observation windows at any time to view the outside scene, and there is still space left to install photography equipment without affecting it, more than enough.

As the media from all walks of the world searched for the whereabouts of Mr. T, the Abyss had posted phee brand publicity advertisements inside and out, and was about to start diving.

Of course, there was also a very grand ceremony for the dive at the North Pole, and the international star Finix acted as the host of this ceremony. The structure of the Abyss was released to the sea under the hoisting of the big crane on the deck of the Dragon Palace after doing all the preparations.

Inside, of course, James was responsible for the shooting. After the system self-check and communication test before diving, in the fear and expectation of everyone, the Abyss slowly dived into the surface of the Arctic Ocean.
