Even if it costs 200 million, China still wants to build the world's largest automated deep-sea operation platform. Why is this? Although Western countries believe that the deep-sea operation platform that China has spent a lot of money to build this time is actually just a pile of scrap metal, as the detection capabilities of the platform built by China this time defeat the West, they also have to start to have doubts about China's deep-sea equipment construction capabilities. So, what is the capability of China’s deep-sea operating platform that cost 200 million US dollars to build that makes Western countries pay so much attention to it?

Why does China spend so much money to build this kind of deep-sea operation vessel? The reason is actually very simple: the world's oceans account for 70% of the earth's surface area, so the number of resources in the oceans must be much greater than the number of resources on land, especially China, which also has a huge territorial sea area. The sea area must have the same number of resources as the land, or even more abundant resources.

Therefore, if China wants to continue to develop in the future while ensuring an adequate supply of its own resources and not being affected by the resource blockade of other countries, it must explore the resources in its territorial waters, and even need to Only by finding ways to penetrate the ocean thousands of meters deep can we find these resources hidden in the deep sea, thereby ensuring that China can effectively develop them without subjecting its own resource acquisition to the influence of other countries.
Therefore, China spent US$200 million to build the world's largest offshore engineering ship and equipped it with the world's largest deep-sea operation platform to carry out corresponding deep-sea exploration and drilling operations; this deep-sea operation ship named Offshore Oil 708 It can drill and sample at a depth of 3,000 meters below the ocean, and obtain various rock samples and data within a depth of 600 meters below the seafloor. Moreover, in addition to drilling, Haiyang Shiyou 708 can also use multi-beam sounding devices to scan the seafloor. After obtaining key information, an AUV with a diving depth of 3 kilometers is used for detection. After obtaining the samples, an underwater winch with a sampling depth of up to 5 kilometers is used to send material samples to the ship, thus giving China the ability to collect deep-sea environment samples.

The addition of deep-sea engineering survey vessels such as Offshore Oil 708 has given China the ability to conduct in-depth inspections of its territorial waters, which will allow China to conduct in-depth inspections of its own territorial waters at a faster speed. Conduct inspections in sea areas, so as to understand in more detail the various geographical information and various mineral information under the country's oceans, and do corresponding cutting-edge work for the country's future resource mining operations to facilitate various mining operations in the future. Platform deployment and operations.
No wonder China has to spend hundreds of millions to research and build deep-sea resource exploration ships like Haiyang Shiyou 708. Only in this way can China firmly grasp the right to develop its own maritime resources and avoid these All of the country's precious resources have been stolen and mined by other countries in various names, and have even been appropriated as their own in a sense, so that China's own sovereign interests can be fully guaranteed.
