The survey results provide support for the resource evaluation of the cobalt-rich crust contract area and the successful completion of the regional abandonment tasks stipulated in the contract. Third, technological innovation has driven deep-sea exploration to achieve important progress. For the first time, the Cinema image processing technology was used to realize the intelligent splicing of underwater video images, providing basic data for the research on the small-scale distribution rules and characteristics of cobalt-rich crusts; the detection performance of the in-situ acoustic thickness measurement system of cobalt-rich crusts was optimized, and it was successfully applied to multiple carrier platforms such as ROV and mobile drilling rigs, providing powerful investigation methods for fine detection of cobalt-rich crusts; and improving the stability and operating efficiency of cobalt-rich crust deep-sea shallow drills.
The Messenger of China-Confucian friendship
In addition, during the berth of the Port of Ponape, the Federal Embassy in Micronesia on September 9, cooperated with the Chinese Federal Embassy in Mission to jointly hold a reception to commemorate the “30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mission, and invited representatives of the Michigan federal politicians and relevant Chinese-funded institutions to visit the “Middle VI” ship and actively explore cooperation between China and Mission in the fields of marine geology.
The “Ocean VI” ship is the first modern comprehensive geological and geophysical survey ship independently designed and built by my country. In recent years, many newly-appointed marine scientific research survey ships in my country have referred to the basic design of “Ocean VI”. Since its induction in 2009, Ocean VI has conducted 55 deep-sea geological, oceanic and polar scientific investigations in the South China Sea, the Pacific and Antarctic waters for 10 consecutive years, with a total of 2 sea trips.In 137 days, the safe navigation was 290,000 nautical miles (about 535,000 kilometers), with a range of 13 and a half circles around the earth. It has accumulated experience in scientific investigation and navigation support in the entire sea area, significantly improving the level of scientific investigation in my country’s marine geology.
