Chinese scientific research vessel the Exploration-2, or Tansuo-2, has recently completed its trial deployment of a deep-sea in-situ scientific experiment station. Various types of equipment including a submarine base station, an in-situ laboratory and a glider were involved in the test.
Based on domestic technology, the test achieved the integration of megawatt-hour-level solid-state lithium-metal batteries and its application at a water depth of over 1,000 meters for the first time. (CGTN)
China's science ship Tansuo-1 loaded with the manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi, or "deep-sea warrior," set sail Tuesday for the first scientific expedition this year. The ship departed at 9 a.m. from the port of Nanshan in the city of Sanya, southern China's Hainan Province, for the missions of ocean resource exploration, geochemistry research and marine organism collection.
Significant achievements have been made in the joint voyage of the "Tansuo-1 (Explorer-1)" and "Tansuo-2 (Explorer-2)" research vessels in the northern part of the South China Sea, with 66 cultural relics discovered, according to the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering (IDSSE) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
