Curious achievement "king of the world"


He was born next to Niagara Falls. He had a curiosity since he was a child. He often came here to look up at the waterfall and look down at the green pool. The more he looks more and more curious, how deep is this green pool? What is under the river? He thought, if you can go down and see how good it is. The man couldn't go, so he used a homemade submarine to send a mouse to the bottom of the Niagara River. The principle should be the same. The mouse can use the submarine to go deep into the river. The person can do it by thinking. From then on, the seeds of the dive were tied to the corner of his heart. However, the object of diving is not the Niagara River, but the depths of the ocean as deep as 10,000 meters.

Seven years ago, he began preparations for deep diving operations, mainly to design and manufacture a dedicated deep submersible that could carry him deep into the deepest trenches of the Pacific Ocean and withstand the enormous water pressure there. After a full flowering for seven years, his "deep sea challenger" deep submersible, about 7 meters long and weighing 12 tons, was completed.

The ocean is unfathomable, and if you are not careful, you will have life worries. Someone asked him why he was looking for risk, but he was still curious to say that it was the deepest place in the world and the most unknown place for human beings. I don't know how the creatures there survived under strong pressure. Just because I don't know, I have to go on.

On the morning of March 26, 2019, at the age of 57, he was ambitious and began to explore. His goal was to dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench Challenger Sea of ​​11,000 meters from the western Pacific Ocean. He huddled alone in a small submarine, dropping at a speed of 150 meters per minute, and rushing to the bottom of the sea in silence. After 2 hours and 36 minutes, he dive to a depth of 10,988 meters. He said that God, the dive process can be really long, I have been falling straight, have passed the depth of the Titanic, and are still falling. The only thing I could do at the time was to watch the number of depth gauges rise.

According to the plan, he had to carry out a long-term 6-hour stop study at the bottom of the challenger's sea, and grabbed some animal and rock samples with a robotic arm carried by a deep submersible. However, since there were many hydraulic oil leaks in the deep submersible, the entire deep submersible was covered with oil. In addition, the propeller failed, and the deep submersible could only be rotated in place. Therefore, he had to end early 3 hours after reaching the seabed. Inspect and begin to return to the sea. It took only a short 70 minutes to return to the sea, faster than expected.

After returning safely to the surface of the sea, he leaned out of his circular cockpit and first expressed his happiness by extending two thumbs. Then he began to describe his what he saw and heard to the reporters around him. He said that the Mariana Trench is really desolate. The high-power LED lights can illuminate the deep sea in front of the deep submersible 30 meters. It is just a desolate, lifeless, like the moon. The surface is as quiet as it is. He walked along the wall of the trench and saw that the bottom of the sea was unusually delicate and muddy. He had to operate the submarine very carefully, so as not to disturb the mud. Speaking of life, he said that he did not see the fish. He did not see anything that seemed to be alive except for some amphibians that swam around 3 cm in the water. Although the deep submersible was equipped with four high-definition cameras and some photos were taken, unfortunately, no samples were collected due to the failure of the mechanical gripper.

Before him, only one time humans had arrived in that place. It was in the 1960s that two engineers of the US Navy arrived at the Mariana Trench. He was the first explorer in human history to reach such a depth with a single submersible, and he was the one who has reached the deepest point of the earth since 1960.

At the bottom of the sea, he also had a shock. Due to the high pressure of 11073 tons/square meter under the seabed, the entire deep submersible was compressed by more than 7 centimeters. He saw the window sag inward. Fortunately, the deep submersible finally withstood the test.

At the end of the day, he was a little intoxicated, like a poet full of poetry, facing the deep ocean and affectionately: for a moment, I stopped and said to myself, this is where I am, I am in the ocean The ocean floor, the deepest place on earth. what does this mean? I just sat there quietly, looking at the ridiculous outside of the porthole, the moon-like empty ocean floor - enjoy! It is a truly isolated feeling of loneliness, more than any kind of experience. Realizing how small you are before this dark, unexplored ground.

He is the famous film director James Cameron born in Canada. Since then, because of curiosity, Cameron has been constantly exploring; because of his exploration, he has gained a lot of valuable information and experience. Therefore, his works have an irresistible magic, which is full of imagination and beautiful, whether in the overall concept of the work, or in the layout of the exterior. In 1998, Cameron created a miracle in the history of cinema with the "Titanic". At the Oscars, he shouted: "I am the king of the world!" In 2019, Cameron directed an imaginative film. Avatar, with the world's $2.7 billion in box office revenue, has become the "king of the world." In 2019, the 3D version of Titanic created another box office miracle. Cameron, as he himself shouted, became the "King of the World".
