i think ari ari sorry because i wish to my turn next day i have a time i die i long to find out how to start my. journeys doing laps of a chinese race to achieve in the middle of the indian ocean. the ocean and the shape of engineering in college a lot of my classmates. have no chance so gob of the she. adds i have. how to chance. she's a trainee submersible pilot and she's anxiously awaiting her 1st ever deep sea dive which no woman from china has ever done before. she's part of china's mission to be a world leader in these final frontier. there in a rice against countries like russia india and japan you know if she gets

the chance to dive she'll go nearly 3 kilometers under the sea to search for new mineral resources and signs of life. maybe i can friend a solid new atom also in your plans and a scene that is count based granted before by human but i read it and maybe i can carry it and i. may as well i see there have animal in the word and there was johnny and wow it's core that. she's working alongside 95 crew members on this ship just 4 of them when. they're also carrying fixed john long a 3 person submersible to contain researches deep under the sea than any other machine on the. looking for the asian the forms of walk life face the

ward where we've my feet come the fall like how we feel when being might be coming from that school part. of the 4 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 a high temperature and the wires are upright and they kind use it's basic. kohan says they're neutral too so i and that's kind of the show where that leaving and that's carlo compound where the e.q. out where you are you see a mirror to what was happening you opinions years old gold when there was no live in earth is 6 i see me and you look for the live well meaning these years our goal or to look for their lives us between the company to different for the recess as it . were many scientists believe evolution began

to email conversations with the creatures found out 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 it's a week where the last was already 1000 years i'll go and i go that way or the other go i always were told it was eyes one of. the yeah we shoot you make science very exciting which of these exciting this is what i want to do science and i feel exactly that i feel alive i feel myself well i want to size everyone's anxious to get the 1st dive under way. on samples of marine life down there.

easy and the other trainee pilots want to see how it's really done else it's very hard. and at the heart of this mission professor tao wants to find hydrothermal vents and chart the size of their mineral deposits is very exciting because this is the 1st part for the indian ocean for the chinese and the the 1st time for the balance for us hydrothermal vents. like springs of burning hot water he said by tapes a volcano is the law of ones will guide us to our target extinct fades like an extinct volcano these empty chimneys have cooled off leaving rich lies of mineral deposits for the taking getting too close to alive and putting in danger the sob and its crew but the rewards of exploring any event are enormous. kobolds manganese compaq and other precious metals is

a threat and very quickly it's better for us to to search for the hottest we'll feel good and the loss on the sea floor. on about to see them explore the track invent an area known for underwater volcanic activity. its near where the antarctic australasian and african tectonic plates may. know he has if it be down to drag and feel. the fear when tao will pilot the 1st dive one of only 2 pilots qualified to drive the submersible jour own. he's the expert training young recruits like he. i hope for they will go out forever quickly quickly and yes i mean at that time maybe maybe they can. just use my 40 dives they only have 2

professional pilot and. a lot more than that to me and also you know what i'm 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 maybe it's a lost interest. so i laid off it. finally the ship is in position. the submersible has been checked and food is ready to pilot the 1st i. will be going in 3 kilometers under water. the crew have enough oxygen and power why to laughlin taining alex. 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 dock cap and colder. dropping to 2 degrees celsius. 4 hours pass with little signs of life. then the tains lead geologist professor tao spotted something. we see a lot so must hope. so i think that's the area we're looking for. water. only model the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to hydrothermal vents. though we are very lucky we found at the. edge of the big

freeze there that's the area where we have the best the very excitable. at last they spot the veins 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 it's. the submersible is built to withstand extreme elements but it has an achilles heel it's window is. the water spewing from a hydrothermal vent can reach 400 degrees celsius. if they get too close the plexiglass windows would melt and the sob would implode. but furnishings 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 bin that was on the 1st black smoke. and out of the same time all or right window was was aware america goes to the man on the ocean current has pushed the sob over the stream of a vent the window may not withstand the hate adjuster. us an interview. he manages to move away. but then not out of danger i get. to get the sobbed. back to the surface i need to draw it to you maybe writers. but only one white with a sense that's nothing. special fos could

be left in the ocean. the submersible has 7 directional propellers 2 of these are off with rusty but they designed for steering around the ocean floor north for pushing the south up $3000.00 made his weave white still attached i was worried about it because of just . cannot fail. can go anywhere. to stop it barely moves. and by now they've been under for almost 10 al it's. all soon to run out of.

the sod stocks rise he says. finally breaks the surface. when this obvious safely back in its cradle the taint realizes how lucky they ahd to be a lot of the bombing was 35 but not all of them but what goes through the window more than your head under the bed of the book the most dangerous. oh. so dangerous. event scorch the sob just sent to meet his from its window rick very close to the mountain so you always get him out there in the heat if you're by the very very close 3 of them. 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. father yes i mean daddy. 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 1st song instead of just the best of my song even made me so professed to marcescens. d'souza to her if i have a choice to tough less in the fields or 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 missions. just one ta status as well and then there are

a bit of those uncomfortable i lost the strong i tell myself again ok i must do it. it's my job. but before you get a chance to dive the experienced team must try again. today yet to bring back any samples. so the damage is repaired and excitement builds for the next dive but. this time biologists. doctor is anxious as she waits for doctors and said. this guy is making salad even. at 6 of them. so

this is really the 1st time that these kinds of women in violet. light in you see the search for. the live there must be a story it must be worrying much different than what we see on that or we or the apple media at least and i louder we are dollars. aromatics i. am. the sampling micro-organisms from hydrothermal vents will give insight into origin of life itself. but they need to get the samples safe into the sun. out of the rubber outs and so i feel a little play sure as transfer the response needed to these things. that. i was. so stressed i just saw.

the saab is in position. to you is the moment of truth. to go out. the other way here. it's been 3 hours it's. been the submersible stops transmission dollars and. the gathering samples from nearly 3 kilometers below what happened. it 'd worked. her. finger. when they bring mr. ya think straight yes. they are awake

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 it was some godly place. put this in the my mouse baby with well 7 i do it at least. specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme high pressure conditions as where they live in the day. i think the face of the ice. oh that's about as a little girl and you know we look at what good it will be. 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 and this is a good the this is amazing no yes it is amazing. and the sad mostly on the buy it has a bit is to appeal to the ara while leveling its low interest the nothing might lose this sample for their own research so we're talking about deep sea finding new enzymes and compounds that might help with medicine and the other and the about x. after you take them for a long time you resisted for the back and about the only need to look for a new form of them were to go play me to the sea. in the middle of the ocean a 5 week mission can feel more like 5 months. especially

for young chinese like. who up until now have done all their training on land. what's the longest you've been out at sea. and our part of the ship before you are sometimes now but sometimes. the sails are revealed the area is fresh. by day and the whole. now are. forcing. whiting patiently each x. 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. is about to become the 1st chinese female to do it. she invites me inside the saab for her final drive or. like i. say. it's to. me voy. a to speak yeah. wow. and you spend 10 hours you.

go to fathom our army. may be. just my good to see me but maybe alito exciting and i come see me very soon so take house in my new clothes and buried in the mirror and then. each one of them. and this look here i'll do it for. the chinese flag in their brand i kid. the day i become the training pilot i bring that one day there but it's there and don't fall. 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. a little afraid. as dawn breaks the crew is crippling the south. after years of training this is the 1st time he will be involved in an actual deep same mission. today she won't be drawn back to tame the testing her ability to cope with extreme conditions from the . cold more than the. sorry for last the software fires.

walks around so we know it's a serious nor light but i can see that ending most bling bling bling bling bling me 1st won't. see in your eyes. his fiery exciting. cancer or any other word. you think yes it's true love. wired. i'm fond of big fish it's a fish it's just so glad to have. this errors. or. may find being alive. i'm tired of the small b.s.

the window and the we can see anything. everything goes to plan and the copes well with the pressure and impresses her. her shipmates awaiting back on board to celebrate. i hope i have a pic future and have been in. ottawa. yes. china is leading the global race to explore the dates they are mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. it's truly the last frontier. and china hopes their discoveries will benefit the whole.
