China's advanced new manned submersible has finished the key process of cabin stamping in Wuxi city, east China’s Jiangsu Province recently.
The manned cabin is critical to the safety of the aquanauts and is the heart of the submersible. A video shows half of the spherical cabin was molded and shaped. It will be welded with the other half once the latter is completed.
The cabin has been totally developed by Chinese scientists, with China the only country in the world to have developed the technology able to withstand the immense pressures at extreme underwater depths.
The submersible is expected to be finished by 2020, enabling China to forage deeper in undersea exploration.
