China's Deep Sea Exploration
Although China started relatively late in deep-sea exploration, it had achieved a series of remarkable results. In the early days, the manned submarines developed by China could only reach 300 meters. However, our country's researchers are constantly working hard to explore. After more than 40 days, the "Haidou No. 1" full-sea deep autonomous remote-controlled submarine developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, returned on June 8,2020 on the "Exploration No. 1" scientific research ship. It successfully completed the first 10,000-meter sea trial and experimental application mission in the Mariana Trench. The maximum diving depth was 10907 meters, breaking the record of the maximum diving depth of Chinese submarines. At the same time, it filled the gap of China's 10,000-meter unmanned submarine. On November 17, 2024, the first ocean drilling ship, Dream, independently designed and built by China, was officially launched. The "Dream" had a total weight of 33000 tons, a length of 179.8 meters, a width of 32.8 meters, and a cruising range of 15000 nautical miles. It could work continuously at sea for 120 days.

Among them, the Endeavor successfully dived to the Mariana Trench at 10909 meters in 2020, making China a world leader in the field of deep manned diving. In the field of unmanned submarines, the "Haidou-1" full-sea deep autonomous remote-controlled submarine achieved cruising exploration of the seabed at 10,000 meters. In terms of deep-sea exploration ships, exploration ships such as Exploration No. 1 and Exploration No. 2 provided a powerful platform for deep-sea scientific exploration. There was also a major breakthrough in the technology of deep-sea heavy-duty mining vehicles."Development No. 2" completed five consecutive bottom mining operations and retrieved deep-sea multi-metal crusts and ingots. The sea test water depth exceeded 4000 meters for the first time, and the deepest was 4,102.8 meters. It was also the first in China to create a deep sea complex seabed terrain with high mobility, deep-sea multi-mineral composite drilling and mining, and other deep-sea mining technologies. In terms of marine scientific research, for the first time, China successfully completed the manned deep diving scientific research mission in the Atlantic Ocean, and obtained a large number of scientific investigation results on the characteristics of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's thermal fluid. In terms of deep-sea archaeology, two ancient ships of the Ming Dynasty were discovered on the northwest slope of the South China Sea, opening a new chapter in China's deep-sea archaeology.

The deep meaning of the dragon's name
Flood dragons were mythical beasts in ancient China mythology. In ancient legends, there were two kinds of animals that lived in deep water. It was said that flood dragons could cause floods, and dragons could cause clouds and rain. In terms of naming, the Jiaolong- 600(AG600) was named Jiaolong.(Its nickname was "Kun Long," which meant "Kun Peng spreads its wings and dragon enters the sea"). This was related to its terrestrial characteristics. It could fly in the sky and swim in the water. It was like a dragon that could travel in the sky and rain, and could dive into deep water. It reflected the functional characteristics of the aircraft. It also reflected the romantic feelings that the aerospace people drew from the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization when naming the country's important equipment. According to the legend, Jiaohe City was named Jiaohe City because of the appearance of a flood dragon in the river. The name of the flood dragon here might be related to the legend of the local flood dragon, reflecting the connection between local characteristics and myths and legends.

China's Dragon God
In China culture, dragons were a very important element. In terms of cultural content, the land of China was regarded as the "hometown of the dragon", and the Chinese called themselves "descendants of the dragon". The dragon was a "god" created collectively by people. It was regarded as the god in charge of rain. People would hold sacrificial ceremonies to pray to the dragon during drought or harvest seasons to pray for good weather and bumper harvests. For example, in the Han Dynasty, the rain praying ceremony would make green, red, yellow, white, and black dragons dance in the order of the four seasons. In terms of artistic expression, dragons were widely used in architectural decorations, New Year paintings, paper-cuts, costumes, and many other artistic types. They also ran through many traditional festivals. During the festival, there were all kinds of dragon-related activities, such as dragon dances, dragon lanterns, dragon boat races, etc. during the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and other festivals. There were many forms of dragon dance. Different regions had different dragon dances, such as the incense dragon in Nanxiong, Guangdong Province, the dancing grass dragon in Songyexie Town, Shanghai, the Henan Fire Dragon Dance in Longtai Village, Mengzhou, Henan Province, and the Changxing Hundred Leaf Dragon in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province. Dragon dance had unique aesthetic characteristics, such as "circle" and "song", which were the core of its formal beauty. The performance required the tacit cooperation of the dancers to show the different postures of the dragon. The dragon lantern also played an important role in the Lantern Festival. For example, the jewelry dragon in Yueqing, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province was often used as the "leading dragon" in the Lantern Festival. In addition, there were also movies named after the word "dragon," such as "China Dragon," which was first released in China Taiwan on January 28, 1995. In the field of martial arts, there was also a figure named "China Dragon"(Cui Xinzhi) who was praised by international friends as "contemporary Bruce Lee". He had made achievements in martial arts, film and television performances, calligraphy, and many other aspects. The novel "Flood Dragon" is equally exciting.

China's Dragon Force
The China Dragon Assault Team was part of the China Marine Corps. It was formed in 2002 and was formerly the Navy Special Operations Regiment. The unit had the reputation of " Dragon on the Sea, Tiger on the Land, Eagle in the Air, and Counter Strike." The special forces members had the ability to infiltrate and assault in the air, land, sea, and underwater, as well as counter-terrorism at sea. In 2008, when China first sent a convoy to the Gulf of Aden for a mission, the Jiaolong Commando Team appeared together. They protected many merchant ships from pirates. In terms of selection, the team members had to be selected from elite troops such as reconnaissance. After more than two years of rigorous screening, the elimination rate was very high. Only the strongest and most tenacious personnel could be selected. For example, they could successfully complete the difficult challenge of participating in the Hunter School in Argentina. In terms of equipment, in addition to the standard configuration of the People's Liberation Army, many new weapons were given priority for testing. For example, the new submachine gun with a lightweight and rich accessories, the fully enclosed circulatory breathing device that allowed divers to move more safely underwater, the flapping wing drone that looked like a bird that could confuse the enemy's line of sight, and the electric surfboard that was fast and foldable for quick raids. In addition, there were smart gloves such as A2 helmets, built-in sensors, and microcomputers that could convert gestures into drone operation commands. However, some of these high-tech equipment were still in the experimental stage, and there were problems such as high prices, so they had not been widely promoted. In terms of international affairs, the Dragon Assault Team participated in many international missions and military exercises, such as the "Peace 09" multi-country joint military exercise in 2009, the evacuation operation in 2015, the rescue of cargo ships hijacked by pirates in 2017, and so on. In 2024, they also participated in the annual military exercise organized by Brazil. The novel " Flood Dragon " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
