The Development and Function of Jiaolong
The development process of Jiaolong was as follows: In 2002, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China listed the development of Jiaolong deep-sea manned submarine as a major special project of the National High Technology Research and Development Plan (863 Plan), and started its own design and independent integration research. On September 1, 2007, the assembly was completed. In August 2009, it organized the 1000-meter and 3000-meter sea trials. On June 27,2012, the diving depth reached 7062 meters, setting the world's largest diving depth record for similar operational submarines. On May 28,2024, the "Deep Sea No.1" scientific research ship carrying the Jiaolong manned submarine successfully returned to the dock of the National Deep-Sea Base in Qingdaodao, marking the successful completion of China's first Atlantic manned deep diving scientific expedition mission. On August 18, 2024, the Jiaolong manned submarine successfully completed its first voyage in the western Pacific Ocean and completed its 300th dive in 2024. Dragon's functions included: multi-dimensional capabilities such as seabed operations and positioning systems to explore the ocean. It could build a stable and reliable platform for scientists to explore the deep sea and study the deep sea. It also had functions such as deep-sea exploration, high-precision topographic measurement of the seabed, detection and capture of suspicious objects, and deep-sea biological investigation. It could also collect deep-sea creatures, seawater, and deposits to deepen the understanding of the unique ecosystem and environment of seamounts. From the initial single observation function to the current state of being equipped with multiple three-dimensional analysis equipment and deep-sea samplers.

Jiaolong
The Jiaolong Manned Submersible, also known as the Jiaolong, was China's first self-designed, self-integrated deep-sea manned submarine. In 2002, China started the self-design and independent integration of the Jiaolong manned submarine, completed the assembly on September 1, 2007, and organized the sea trials of the 1000-meter and 3000-meter class in August 2009. On June 27, 2012, the diving depth reached 7062 meters, creating the world's largest diving depth record for similar operational submarines. China became the fifth country after the United States, France, Russia, and Japan to master the deep diving technology and entered a new era of manned diving. On May 28,2024, the "Deep Sea No. 1" scientific research ship carrying the "Dragon" returned to the dock of the National Deep-Sea Base in Qing Dao, marking the successful completion of China's first Atlantic Ocean manned deep diving scientific expedition mission. Dragon was 8.2 meters long, 3.0 meters wide, and 3.4 meters high. It weighed no more than 22 tons, had a maximum load of 240 kilograms, a maximum speed of 25 nautical miles per hour, and a cruising speed of 1 nautical mile per hour. It carried three people, and was designed to dive to a maximum depth of 7000 meters. It could move freely in the sea area that occupied 99.8% of the world's ocean. The system included the main body system of the manned submarine, the surface support system of the manned submarine, the modification system of the mother ship, and the training system of the submarine. It had three major technological breakthroughs: near-bottom automatic navigation, deep-sea hovering positioning, and high-speed underwater sound communication. Dragon had a titanium alloy shell with a thickness of 70 millimeters. It had three observation windows made of pure glass and was one of the world's leading waterproof technologies. The design of the ballasting iron helped it float in the water. By throwing away different amounts of ballasting iron, it could sink, reduce the pressure on the propeller, accelerate, and rise. It was equipped with a domestic sonic system that could solve the problem of extracting sound signals under different seawater density and temperature. Not only could it accurately emit and identify signals, but it could also explore the surrounding fine terrain. Its domestic ultra-short baseline positioning system could provide underwater positioning and navigation services, and a series of cutting-edge equipment could broadcast the exploration process. There were two sets of oxygen supply systems inside, which could guarantee the safety of three people for 84 hours. Since its first dive on August 3, 2009, the Jiaolong had gone through sea trials, experimental applications, and operational operations. It had completed 300 dive missions in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean (the 300th dive was completed on August 18, 2024), carrying a total of 900 people.

At the bottom of the Jiaolong
Jiaolong was China's first self-designed, self-integrated deep-sea manned submarine. It had many abilities to explore the ocean, such as seabed operations and positioning systems. It could build a stable and reliable platform for scientists to explore and study the deep sea. Dragon was made of titanium alloy (70 mm thick) that could withstand ultra-high pressure. There were three observation windows made of pure glass on the structure, and its waterproof technology was among the best in the world. The design of its ballasting iron was exquisite. It could control the movement of the submarine up and down. By throwing away part of the ballasting iron to change the buoyancy, it could sink, float, and sail at different speeds. The domestic sound system on the Jiaolong solved the communication problem. Its sonar could not only accurately send and identify signals, but also explore the surrounding subtle terrain to avoid hitting the rocks. It also had a domestic ultra-short baseline positioning system to provide underwater positioning and navigation services. There was also a series of cutting-edge equipment that could broadcast the exploration process. There were two sets of oxygen supply systems and other life support systems inside Dragon, which could guarantee the safety of three people for 84 hours. Since its first dive on August 3, 2009, the Jiaolong has completed 300 dive missions in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean after sea trials, experimental applications, and operational operations.(As of August 18, 2024), it carried a total of 900 people to dive. On August 18, 2024, it completed the 300th dive in the Western Pacific Ocean. Its designed maximum dive depth was 7000 meters. On June 27, 2012, the dive depth reached 7062 meters, creating the world's largest diving depth record for similar operational submarines. The novel "Flood Dragon" is equally exciting.

Jiaolong Grand Canyon
Jiaolong Grand Canyon was located in Huyuan Township, Jinyun County. It was about 6 kilometers long from Jiaokeng Village to Dayang Reservoir. The mountains on both sides of the canyon stood tall and the terrain was steep. It was a youthful granite landscape. The entrance was located at the end of Jiaokeng Village. To the east was Gufang Mountain, which was 1216 meters above sea level, and to the west was Shiniu Mountain, which was 1182 meters above sea level. There were granite landscapes such as Stacked Box Rock and Buddha Star Rock in the canyon, as well as tourist attractions such as cliff walkways, 360-degree glass sightseeing platforms, and glass cable bridges. There were two flood dragons here. One was a cliff mountain path that spiraled up the mountain, and the other was a silver dragon waterfall that meandered out of the canyon. There were many hiking routes to choose from in the canyon, some through the dense forest, some along the stream. In addition, there was a red glass bridge that looked like a guqin in the canyon.

Introduction and pictures of Jiaolong
Jiaolong Submersible Vehicle
The drawing of the Jiaolong could be done in the following way: First, outline the general outline of the Jiaolong. Its shape was similar to a submarine and had a streamlined appearance. He could first draw a slender oval as the main part, then draw a more rounded bow shape at the front end, and draw a fin-like structure on both sides of the hull for stability and control. Then, he drew observation windows at the top. Dragon had three observation windows. Then, some lines were drawn at appropriate locations on the hull to indicate the internal structure or the separation of equipment. Finally, he would modify the overall outline according to his own preferences, such as adding the logo of Flood Dragon or some simple patterns to reflect the characteristics of Flood Dragon. Of course, he could also search for simple pictures of the Dragon submarine on the Internet to get more inspiration. The novel " Flood Dragon " is equally exciting.
