Are there people living under the sea?

Will

Developed countries such as the United States and the former Soviet Union already have underwater habitable experimental stations, but they are shallow. In September 1962, American Edwin Link established an underwater laboratory in the Mediterranean Sea near the port of Toulon, France. A diver spent 24 hours living in an underwater housing at a depth of 60 meters.

In 1988, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration established another underwater laboratory in the waters of the Virgin Islands, 13.1 meters long and 3.7 meters wide. It is 5 meters high and weighs 81 tons, but it can only operate on the seabed with a water depth of 15 meters. The laboratory can accommodate 6 scientists and can work on the seabed for 7-30 days. The laboratory is connected to the unmanned support vessel on the surface through an umbilical system. When the power or gas supply system fails, the underwater laboratory can maintain work for 72 hours relying on its own emergency system. Allowing the scientists inside

time to decompress and swim out of the water.

The former Soviet Union also built an undersea laboratory in 1977, named "Biozoology 300", which can be used for 12 private crews to conduct inspections on the seabed at a depth of 300 meters for 15 days.

Water divination. The laboratory usually consists of a water-oriented supply ship, a crew transport cabin and an underwater laboratory. To ensure the survival and access of experimental personnel to the sea. The water-building experiment has multi-faceted significance: for example, it can directly approach the research object, carry out fixed and qualitative research and observation at work and on-site, and can continuously conduct fixed-point observations for several days or even several days. This is unlike other underwater systems. Observation methods (such as sea observation by divers) are particularly unparalleled. in addition. The establishment of water experimental channeling can provide scientific basis for future human migration to the ocean. As the earth's population increases, the landmass, which accounts for less than 30% of the earth's area, is becoming increasingly crowded. Although it is possible to immigrate to Mars and the moon. But it is relatively remote after all. therefore. Some countries with long coastlines and high population densities have an increasing desire to move to the ocean. But before moving to the ocean, there must be a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the ocean, which only an underwater laboratory can solve.

At present, there are only a few people who can conduct ocean observations in underwater laboratories. The vast majority of people can only "look at the ocean and sigh". They don't have the luxury of seeing the wonders of the ocean floor. But most people have a sense of exploration and curiosity, and are always willing to see with their own eyes what the depths of the ocean are like.

In order to satisfy the wishes of these people, the Canadian Undersea Development Company built a submarine "Atlantis" for people to travel on the seabed in 1990. It can carry 46 tourists at a time. It can swirl on the seabed at a depth of about 20 meters at a speed of 15 knots per hour. Visitors can browse the bizarre and bizarre world on the seabed through the portholes on the submarine.
