China is likely to place marine cables at the deepest point on Earth

Khánh Minh |

China has developed the world's first system that can reach the deepest point on Earth to lay cables for underwater exploration.

Dai Lien Maritime University, Nantong Liwei Mechanical Company and Jiangsu Hengtong Huahai Technology Company have developed a weather system capable of placing cables in the deepest known location in the ocean, according to local newspaper Guangming Daily.

The deepest part of the ocean is believed to be the Challenger Deep, a basin located at the southern end of the Mariana Strait in the western Pacific Ocean, at a depth of 11,000 meters.

According to Kaida Electrical, the cable system is used to carry various deep-sea equipment, such as trackers and remotely controlled underwater vehicles - these are basic equipment for deep-sea research and exploration.

As scientific research on the deep ocean is developing, the need for a winch system to move ships deeper has increased.

According to the Morning Party China Post (SCMP), the Haiwei GD11000 system could deploy cables at a depth of 11,000 meters, a significant increase compared to the previous record depth held by the Italian company Prysmian.

According to a statement posted on the company's website, Prysmian broke its record in the summer when placing the cable at a depth of 2,150 meters.

According to China Daily, the Haiwei GD11000 can also carry a weight of about 15 tons. According to Sputnik International, the system can reach speeds of about 120 meters per minute.

Interesting Engineering reported that the system completed its first major test in October when deploying cables at a depth of more than 11,000 meters.

According to Guangming Daily, the timing system will be used to conduct regular survey activities in deep and extreme waters.

While Haiwei GD11000 helps conduct deeper research into the deepest part of the ocean, the discovery of this area has actually begun more than 100 years ago.

According to All That's Interesting, in March 1875, HMS Challenger - a survey ship of the Royal Navy - found the deepest point in the ocean.

Challenger Deep is deeper than Everett's altitude and has no light. It is also cold here, with temperatures only 0 degrees Celsius above freezing levels. The pressure is 1,000 times higher than the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level.

However, despite the harsh conditions, scientists have found some creatures at the deepest point on Earth, Challenger Deep, such as plankton, hay hay and sea worms.
