Chapter 942: Prepare to Dive (Part 2)

The working environment is so good, I'm sorry to the boss if I don't work hard, so all the staff members who came out this time were very responsible. This is true, including the assistant brought by James and Chu Fei's assistant.

The weather was very good these days, and the waves were calm. The Dragon Palace had already arrived near the North Pole in advance, and the same was true for the icebreaker. So after Guo Tailai and his team boarded the ship by helicopter, they arrived at the North Pole where they were expected to dive in a few hours.

In summer, there is no difference between day and night on the North Pole, just day, which is the polar day in the North Pole.

Because he was rushing all the way, James took the time to rest for a few hours before he started preparing for diving shooting.

"Holyshit! How could it be so big?" James exclaimed in surprise when he saw the deep submersible.

As soon as he got on the boat, James did not take a closer look at what the submersible looked like. Although Guo Tailai's deep submersible is not a secret to the senior management of several countries, it is still a commercial secret for ordinary people and even those at the level of James. He has no idea what it looks like. Even James only knew that Guo Tailai had designed it and Guo Tailai made it, but he did not know that the submersible made by Guo Tailai was so big.

"Is it big? Not big!" Guo Tai came to look at the submersible, then looked at James, and couldn't help but explain: "According to my original idea, the pressure-resistant shell should be at least four meters in diameter. Because the technology cannot reach the moment, it can only achieve a diameter of three meters and six meters."

"The diameter of 3.6 meters is not big?" James was so angry that he almost smiled bitterly by Guo Tailai's words: "I contacted a submersible design company before. Do you know how big the diameter of the submersible pressure-resistant shell they designed for me? Less than one meter one, if I want to ride, I have to squat in it. You..."

"Abyss!" Guo Tailai told James the name of the submersible. This name was also called by Guo Tailai. Anyway, he is the boss and he pays the most, so no one has objected.

"The pressure-resistant shell of your Abyss submersible is three meters and six meters in diameter. I can set up a bed to sleep in it. It's not big enough?" James was simply surprised. A normal person asked him to squat in a small sphere for eight or nine hours and stand for eight or nine hours in a single room. Who knows which choice is better. Moreover, the larger the Abyss, the greater the payload it can carry, and the greater the possibility that James would want to bring a big and heavy 3dmax camera.

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

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I realize that this thing accidentally created another world record.

"How is the safety performance?" James asked again. It's not that he doesn't trust Guo Tailai, but that the Abyss will take him and Guo Tailai to dive. Of course, the safer the better, the better. You have to ask questions to feel at ease.

"The pressure-resistant shell made of a homogeneous titanium alloy of 150 mm thick, and the observation windows are transparent materials with very high strength." Guo Tailai didn't mind James' inquiry and explained seriously: "In theory, there is no problem that you can dive to 13,000 meters. Now the Abyss has dived for 4,000 meters for testing, and it uses ultrasonic and x-ray flaw detection, and no cracks or damage are found, which is very safe."

"The payload of this Abyss reaches one ton. In addition to our weight, we can also carry hundreds of kilograms of instruments and equipment." Guo Tailai continued to explain: "The space is large enough, so we can stay very comfortable, the surrounding observation holes are enough, and the lighting system is also very excellent, allowing us to enjoy the seabed scenery well. The survival system is enough for us to consume more than 100 hours, and the escape system is also quite excellent. It can quickly take us up from the deep sea of ​​10,000 meters to the sea in a short time. The supercharge system will automatically work to avoid the trouble of decompression diseases. In short, it is very safe!"

"Where is the communication?" James asked again.

"The latest water acoustic communication technology at present." Guo Tailai smiled and said: "It can ensure that we maintain communication delays of less than five seconds between 4,000 meters underwater and water surface. Of course, to be safe, every 500 meters, an underwater communication repeater can be released and suspended in the sea water to ensure worry-free communication."

Of course, the new water acoustic communication technology cannot be known to James. This is just a conventional method that Guo Tai said, including those inside the design company, only knows so much. However, in a humble place on the Abyss, it is installed with the latest domestic water acoustic communicator test product, with high bandwidth and high picture quality, just using the Abyss to conduct different depths of testing.

All the crew members of the Dragon Palace, including the captain, are excellent soldiers retired from the Navy. It is too simple and inconspicuous to have more secret testers. Anyway, everything went smoothly in the previous tests.

After learning about the performance of the Abyss in detail, James began to install shooting equipment with his assistant. He didn't know the actual performance of the Abyss before, so he brought ordinary photography equipment. Next time he dived to the Mariana Trench, he could bring a 3D camera.

The spherical pressure-resistant shell with a diameter of 3.6 meters, the internal space is nearly ten square meters. Two people and one driver are more than enough, and the space is very abundant. You should know that in the future, the Jiaolong, which has an inner diameter of 2.1 meters, can ride three people inside, and the Abyss is obviously more relaxed.

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

The large space is really comfortable. Guo Tailai even installed two first-class seats inside the aircraft. The driver's actions were originally planned to be the same, but they were opposed by all designers, so they changed to a very comfortable driving seat. The large seats for the two passengers, as long as they are willing, can even put the seats down and turn them into two beds and lie comfortably on them. Rotate to the different observation windows on the left and right to watch the scene outside at any time, and there is still the remaining space to install photography equipment without any impact, which is more than enough.

Just as media were searching for Mr. T's whereabouts all over the world, the Abyss had already posted phee brand promotional advertisements inside and outside, and were about to start diving.

Of course, there was a very grand ceremony for diving at the North Pole this time. International star Phoenix acted as the host of the ceremony. Under the shooting of the camera, he introduced the structure of the Dragon Palace and the Abyss inside and out. After doing all the preparation activities, the Abyss was released on the sea under a large crane on the deck of the Dragon Palace to prepare for diving.
