Inside Jiaolong: A simulated dive into China's deep-sea exploration

Xiamen's World Ocean Week is giving the public a rare chance to climb inside a full-scale simulator of China's Jiaolong manned submersible. Jiaolong is China’s first operational deep-sea manned submersible that was independently designed, integrated and developed in China. It has a designed depth of 7,000 meters, a normal endurance of 12 hours and an emergency endurance of 84 hours. As of early November, Jiaolong has completed 475 dives. CGTN's Liu Jiaxin took a simulated dive with a real Jiaolong pilot to find out what 7,000-meter pressure feels like, and why deep-sea exploration matters. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
