HunanTechnologyWan Buyan, director of the university's marine laboratory, is the first in ChinaSubsea drilling rigsinventor of . For more than 30 years, he has led the team to tackle key problems, bravely climb new heights, and develop them"Manatee" series of subsea drilling rigssystem, realized in our countrySubsea drilling rigsTechnology and equipment from scratch, from backward to leading.
in HunanTechnologyIn the laboratory of the university, the young researchers of the Wan Buyan team are working"Manatee" series of subsea drilling rigsNew technical breakthroughs. Their goal is for the "big guy" to not only drill core samples, but also to carry out on the seabedEngineering GeologyThe ability to detect in situ. Through the rocksMechanicsand geotechnicalMechanicsSome of the tests that this technology can be applied to:Engineering GeologyExploration, such as during building construction, requires knowing how strong the foundation is.
Wan Buyan said that through the unremitting efforts of the scientific research team for many years, China's"Manatee" series of drilling rigsIt has the ability of intelligent perception and control of the whole process of operation, and realizes the "blind drilling" function of drilling operations when all airborne cameras are completely unclear. And under development"Manatee".Further exploration of the underwater world will be made. TheDrilling rigsIt is possible to reach anywhere on the ocean floor, even places that have not been explored by humans until now. It will be used for scientific drilling to study the movement of the earth's crust as well as biological, oil and gas, etcLithosphereand the evolution of the hydrosphere.
Wan Buyan pointed out that our country is inSubsea drilling rigsThe achievements in this field have benefited from the efforts of the Chinese people in independent innovation. In the 90s of the 20th century, China's deep-sea exploration equipment was almost completely dependent on imports, and the research and development foundation was very weak. Therefore, Wan Buyan decided to surpass the technology of Western countries and conduct independent research and development from scratch.
Under the leadership of Wan Buyan, the scientific research team successfully developed China's first deep-sea shallow formation core sampling in 2003Drilling rigsand inPacific Oceansuccessfully drilled the first "Chinese hole" at a depth of 07 meters. Although this oneDrilling rigstechnical indicators lagged behind foreign countries in the same periodDrilling rigs, but it achieved our countrySubsea drilling rigsA breakthrough in technology from 0 to 1. However, this is only the first step in Wan Buyan's heart, because the rich mineral resources of the seabed are not limited to the surface of the seabed, drilling deep into the seabedImperative
The current rule adopted by the United Nations is that whoever invests and arrives first has the right of first refusal. Because the resources of the high seas are limited, in fact, there are a lot of mineral resources hidden in the seabed, but Western countries have been operating in this area for decades, leaving us with less and less things. Therefore, the exploration process is acceleratedImperative
In 2015, the scientific research team led by Wan Buyan successfully developed itThe Manatee drilling rig, breaking the deep sea of our countrySubsea drilling rigsof drilling records. In 2021, they developed "Manatee"arrived at 2060 meters under the sea and willDrilling rigsThe drilling depth was extended to a new 231mSubsea drilling rigsDrilling depth records. Not only that,".Manatee"also brought back the preciousCombustible ice, filling the deep sea of our countrySubsea drilling rigsThe blank of equipment has refreshed the deep sea of the worldSubsea drilling rigsDrill depth records. This indicates that China theoretically has the ability to explore full coverage of marine mineral resourcesA maritime powerto achieve a high levelTechnologySelf-reliance and self-improvement have made outstanding contributions.
Wan Buyan said that each generationDrilling rigsR&D is to address the country's significant needs. He combines his personal interests with the needs of the country, and trying to do something for the country is the greatest joy he seeks. To be patriotic is to do your best to contribute to the country.
Wan Buyan as our countrySubsea drilling rigsThe leaders and practitioners of technology have made achievements that have attracted national attention through their own efforts and team cooperation. His story is full of perseverance and the power of struggle that inspires each and every one of us. under constructionA maritime powerOn the road, we need to be like Wan Buyan, strive to move forward and climb bravelyTechnologyto contribute our strength to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
