6:22 pm
a one on one east we go on board with so much china's top engineers and scientists as china explores the depths of the indian ocean. i think ari ari ari the house of which they might turn if say i will. die i want to cut out to start. chinese doing laps of a chinese research in the middle of the indian ocean. ocean and the shape of engineering in college a lot of all of my classmates. have no chance so god bar the she. has a chance. she's a trainee submersible pilot and she's anxiously awaiting her first ever deep sea dive which no woman from china has ever done before you know she's part of
6:23 pm
china's mission to be a world leader in these final frontier. they're in a rice against countries like russia india and japan. if she gets the chance to dive she'll go nearly three kilometers under the sea to search for new mineral race horses and signs of life. maybe i can friend a song new alamosa new plans and it's a scene that is can't be a friend before but human but i read it and it made me i can't get we it's a name. and there's. there have animal in the word and there was johnny and wow it's cool that. she's working alongside ninety five crew members on this ship just four of them when. they're
6:24 pm
also carrying fixed john long a three person submersible that can take researches deep under the sea than any other machine and. looking for the nation the forms will fall off a slow ward where we my feet come to fall like how we feel when being might be coming from that's cool part. of the four women on this mission one of them is a microbiologist dr who will study whatever life forms are brought to the surface plants and animals including tiny microbes known as ikea. they come hand though mario are hi pam fisher and the are high a price and they kind use is more of basic count processor neutral and two so i and that's kind of the show where they're leaving and that's kind of the compound where that you can you out where you are is similar to what was happening you like
6:25 pm
billions of years old gold when there was no live in earth is six i see me you look for the live well me me me me. here's our goal or to look for the lives us between the company to different for the recess this is. what many scientists believe evolution began to email motions the creatures found may be the most basic and systems of the mind morning. and there is one type of habitat in the deep ocean where you expects to find an abundance of them. there is a big hero say that all kinds of life form might be from title what has all one is a week where the life was already making the news in years i'll go and i know they are no other goal i always had told it was size walford. yeah we shoot you make
6:26 pm
science very exciting which is such a these exciting this is what i want to do science and i feel exhausted i feel alive i feel myself well i'm too sighs everyone's anxious to get the first dive under way you want samples of marine life down there fuel. is. easy and the other trainee pilots want to see how it's really done else it's very hard and to the heart of this mission professor tao wants to find hydrothermal vents and shot the size of their mineral deposits is very exciting because this is the first for the indian ocean for the chinese and the the first time for the balance for us hydrothermal vents are like springs of burning hot water heated by deep sea volcanoes the law of ones will guide us to our target extinct things like an extinct volcano mt chimneys have cooled off leaving richland is of mineral
6:27 pm
deposits for the taking getting too close to a lot. the end could endanger the scouts and its crew but the rewards of exploring any event are enormous. kobolds manganese kaka and other precious metals is a very very credits bet for us to to search for the hottest will feel good and us honestly for. another bout to see them explore the dragon vent field an area known for underwater volcanic activity. it's near where the antarctic australasian and african tectonic plates make it. even if it be down to drag and feel. the fear when tao will pilot the first dive one of only two pilots qualified to drive the submersible jour own.
6:28 pm
he's the expert training young recruits like he. i hope for they will go out forever quickly quickly yes and in that time maybe maybe they can. just use my forty dives we only have two professional pilot and we would have a lot more than that to me and also you know more than into our country so i assume gains a. responsibility to me even knows that one day soon it will be her turn in the driver's seat for style yes maybe it's a lost interest. so i laid off it right. finally the ship is in position. the submersible has been checked and food is ready to pilot the first dive. you'll be going like three kilometers under water.
6:29 pm
the crew have enough oxygen and power want to last when taining hours. but lots can go wrong in that time. it takes over an hour to reach the bottom of the our ship. the deeper the submersible goes the darker and colder. dropping to two degrees celsius. four hours pass with little signs of life. then the tains lead geologist professor tao spotted something. with a lot so much hope greg ship so i think that's the area we're looking for.
6:30 pm
all. only when the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to hydrothermal vents. aware of any lucky we found at the. at the big freeze there that's the area where the that's the very exciting. at last they spot the vents or. do need to be careful as they move the sob closer to the boiling hot water. when you'll was with a walk when was very busy very busy. you needed to construct all your and which. the submersible is built to withstand extreme elements but it has an achilles heel its window is. the water spewing from a hydrothermal vent can reach four hundred degrees celsius. if they get too close
6:31 pm
the plexiglass windows would melt and the sub would implode. but fernie is to get close to the bed to take a sample of its crossed. but there's a problem. then realized that are left to the window was on the first black smoke. and out of the same time all or right window was was aware america goes to the remains of the ocean current has pushed the sob over the stream of a vent the window may not withstand the hate adjuster. us into. he manages to move the why.
6:32 pm
then not out of danger yet. to get the sobbed. back to the surface i need to drop to hate whites. but only one white with a sense that it's a massive problem. with real fos being left in the ocean. the submersible has seven directional propellers two of these are off with rusty but they designed for steering around the ocean floor north for pushing the south op three thousand maces with white still attached i was right about it because of just two or. cannot fail. come on anyone. the sob barely moves.
6:33 pm
and by now they've been under for almost ten al it's. soon to run out of. the sod stocks rise it's. finally breaks the surface. and. when the sob is safely back in its cradle the tamed realizes how lucky they ahd to be a lot on the ball coming up to thirty five but not all of them but through the window more than your credit the better the book the most
6:34 pm
dangerous. oh. so dangerous. the vent scorched the sob just sent to meet his from its window where it rerig close to the amount you always get them out there in the heat if you're by the very very close three of them oh oh. oh no food noise how close he came to disaster to die and his thoughts turned to his family back home in china. how he only knew one and a half years old. my. father yes i mean daddy that. he's dedicated his life to this job that he loves but it's come at great personal cost. rule mr manning seems like my first song sister just missed the best of my song it made me so professed to marcescens. d'souza to her if i have
6:35 pm
a choice to tough less in the future i hope how to stay with my son to stay with my. parents food looks forward to the day he's trying to ease will step up and start piloting their own mission it's. just one task that this is where it enters our idea of those uncomfortable i lost the strong i tell myself again ok i must do it. it's my job. but before you get her a chance to dive experienced a must try again. they yet to bring back any samples. so the damage is repaired and excitement builds for the next dive but.
6:36 pm
this time biologists. dr is anxious as she waits for diet and said. this guy is making salad even really good at six of them. though this is really the first time that these kinds of women in my life and of what i. see the search for. the live there must be a story it must be worrying much different than what we see on the mat or with what the apple media release and allow the weirdo's. their mad scientists. sampling microorganisms from hundred fans will give insight into origin of life itself. but they need to get the samples safely to the sun. out of
6:37 pm
the crowd of our outfits and so i feel a little to play sure as straight as you go i responded needed to know these things up artists that. i was. so stressed i don't just see. the sob is in position. that you is the moment of truth. because. he would allow the way he are the only. it's been three hours. then the submersible stops transmitting dollars and. they're gathering samples from nearly three kilometers below what happened. it worked. her. finger.
6:38 pm
when they bring mr. ya think straight yes and here we describe the sound was harmless and give it away that's probably. also smile it's a which kind of compound in my eye yet it really and the highly placed. we put this sample in the my mouse baby with well i do is at least. specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme high pressure conditions as where they leaving the day. i think the face of the ice. oh it's a little girl's and you know we can look at what good it will be as live.
6:39 pm
as it turns out minerals at this low spreading ridge are is rich as predicted making dragon field a prospect for mining. but what's even more valuable is the discovery that many creatures here are different types of crabs snails and worms and more all of them than biologists ever expected to listen so good either this is only the no yes it is amazing. and the sad mostly on the buy it has a big issue appeal to the ara while the boy is still interest the nothing michael will says sample for their own research so we're talking about deep sea finding new enzymes in two compounds that might help with medicine and the other and the about x. after you take them for a long time you go to resistance for the back and about the only need to look for a new form of them were to go play me to the sea.
6:40 pm
in the middle of the ocean a five week mission can feel more like five months. especially for young trainees like. who up until now have done all their training on land. what's the longest you've been out at sea. and now are all part of the same therefore you are sometimes now but sometimes yes. the sales are revealed the area is fresh. i was dying in the hole i can now or balls was. writing patiently each x.
6:41 pm
who will dive next. she's been told it's her turn tomorrow she'll have the chance to experience something few humans ever will. she be going to the bottom of the deep ocean alongside a pilot and a scientist to put all her training into action. to put that into perspective there are more people going into space than there are going into the deep ocean and is about to become the first chinese female to do it. she invites me inside the saab for her final driver. ok.
6:42 pm
it's too. back of the speech yeah. wow. and you spend ten hours you. go to battle our army. may be. just light of the city but maybe alito exciting and i come see me very soon so take house in my new clothes and buried in the mirror. and this thing oh ok i'll do it for. the chinese flag in bare. i like it. the day i become the training pilot i bring that one day there but the lack thereof don't fall.
6:43 pm
sets for myself you must be strong strong and strong there's no time for me to think think think either of course of course afraid alito alito yes to be honest. afraid. as dawn breaks the crew is crippling the son. after years of training this is the first time he will be involved in an actual deep sea beach. today she won't be drawn back to tame the testing her ability to cope with extreme conditions from the .
6:44 pm
cold not that he. is sorry for asked the sofa to flare fast. walks also we know it's a serious no lights but i can see he's out that and in most blink blink blink blink blink me first won't. see in your own eyes. his mari exciting. cancer or any other word. everything gets. to low. wire. i found her
6:45 pm
a big fish it's a fish it's just so glad to have. this area. may find being alive some time to small the lives of the window and that we can see anything. everything goes to plan and he copes well with the pressure and impresses her credit on her shipmates awaiting back on board to celebrate. i hope i have a picture of her and had been. caught out while i. was. there the.
6:46 pm
china is late in the global race to explore the date safe from mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. it's truly the last frontier. and china hopes their discovery will benefit the whole. chinese authorities are putting those they say have committed a crime on t.v. but are they show trials or genuine confessions. when east investigates. on al-jazeera. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
