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 Exhibition
The Dragon was exhibited in many exhibition or its related experience projects were displayed. For example, the model of the Jiaolong Manned Submersible was exhibited at the China Ocean Economics Exposition on September 24,2012; The model of the Jiaolong Manned Submersible was exhibited at the Paris Exposition, which opened on May 1,2024; The model of the Jiaolong was exhibited in the Jiading National Defense Education Exhibition on December 18,2023. On May 25,2024, the 2024 Chengdu City and Technology Activity Week had an immersive diving "Jiaolong" VR popular science interaction experience project; SoReal "Jiaolong" Manned Deep-Sea Simulation Experience Device was exhibited at the 2022 Cultural and Travel Service Exhibition of the World Trade Association.

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.

He could first outline the main body, such as the slender hull, and then draw some of the unique parts of Dragon, such as the general shape of its observation window and mechanical arm. He could also search for pictures of Flood Dragon on the Internet to get more inspiration for drawing. The novel " Flood Dragon " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
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.
