>China is speeding up efforts to design and build a manned deep-sea platform to help it hunt for minerals in the South China Sea, one that may also serve a military purpose in the disputed waters.
>Such an oceanic “space station” would be located as much as 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) below the surface, according to a recent Science Ministry presentation viewed by Bloomberg.
>The project was mentioned in China’s current five-year economic plan released in March and ranked number two on a list of the top 100 science and technology priorities.
What's their game, /pol/? The depth quoted is well beyond the max depth of any nuclear submarine, and you don't needed a manned outpost for deep sea mining.

"made in china" is following the same route. buy tools (non-electrical) from harbor freight, and you will get chinese made tools for 1/4 the price of american tools, and usually better quality.
>>79203615
If they force the builders to also be the ones staffing the base then it could work. It's how the USSR built it's really important projects.
>>79204707
It's unprecedented too. Not only the depth but the size (33 people). I don't think there's ever been an underwater habitat for more than 6 people or deeper than 384 feet. Sealab II was supposed to be at over 600 feet but it failed due to sabotage.
The only American undersea lab today is only 63 feet deep and for 6 people. The Chinese are leapfrogging a generation beyond our capabilities.

Is this even possible to build a static structure resisting this pressure ?
I mean there is the Mir and the Nautile but they are conceived for short exploration, not being there for years.
Even the military submarines rarely go deeper than 300 meters and have really frequent maintenances.
>>79207261
I don't think so, It most likely will fold under the pressure and break like most other chinese made shit.

Plenty of research submersibles go much deeper than this. The individual modules will just have to be relatively small in diameter, probably just enough to stand up in.

The time it will happen their labor will cost the same as ours (if we are not in civi war though with niggers, spics and muslims).
Remember in the 80s, when the japanese were number one in automobile, high tech and banking, everybody told that Japan will rule the world and look at their situation right now, they are in an economic coma since 10 years, they lost their edge on almost everything. Toyota is still strong but they are fighting with Volkswagen, Sony/Toshiba has been BTFO by the silicon Valley and the Korean, I don't even speak about the banking and the fact that the City dwarfes Tokyo.
And anyway the challenges that China faces logistically to developp country and creating a productive/qualified middle class is nowhere close that the Japanese one was during the 50s to the 70s.
>>79209048
It's not dumb, it's just not really feasible right now to do a whole lot in space that involves humans.
Undersea is harder from an engineering perspective but vastly cheaper, and we learn stuff from it that improves our ability to keep humans alive in space.

You can't build artificial islands in that deep of water, that would essentially require them to move a mountain.

>>79215366
You have a point but then it would be hard as fuck to escape after that, and much of the sea life we would depend on for food would be dead.
The stuff you could survive *long term* would include plagues, nuclear war, collapse of society and so on but a big enough asteroid would still kill you.

>>79215807
>You have a point but then it would be hard as fuck to escape after that, and much of the sea life we would depend on for food would be dead.
And how is a space colony immune from any of that? There's a lot more to work with under water at a lot lower energy cost than in space.
>and much of the sea life we would depend on for food would be dead.
No, it wouldn't. Even complete global devastation wrought by some alien race's relativistic bombardment would vaporize just the first 5 meters or so of the ocean. Do you have any idea how much energy it would take to heat the whole thing up enough to kill sea life? Life beneath the photic zone probably wouldn't even notice.
>and so on but a big enough asteroid would still kill you.
Only if it's a direct hit, which is extremely unlikely.

It's really far away. The Earth could be totally destroyed, but if we had a self sufficient Mars colony, humanity could continue.
I'm not saying we don't go into the ocean, just for a different reason. Exploiting oceanic resources is already profitable. It's not the long term investment space is, there is near-immediate return on investment.
Humans could survive in deep water colonies through many types of disaster, but there are still some that we would need an offworld population for.

What, mars is immune to asteroids? The earth's ocean is a great damage absorber. Everything on mars would be totally fucked no matter where the rock lands. It's not really practical to terraform no matter how much the paypal guy says to the contrary.
>but there are still some that we would need an offworld population for.
But the technology does not exist and may never exist to allow them to survive without supplies from earth.

Those still have to be controlled by somebody. And you can't do it remotely via radio because seawater blocks radio waves. Deep sea mining involves controlling robots like these: >>79206362
>>79206696
...over very long fiber optic control cables from a ship on the surface. But that also doesn't work if you want to mine part of the ocean where the surface conditions are regularly too violent for a ship to loiter there longterm.
Not to worry, there is a method to their madness and probably before long the US will build their own mining platforms for the same reason.

The effects are questionable, because some parts of the baby would have different radial velocity, this could lead to bone deformities.
It's the same reason centrifugal force is not a good way to emulate gravity in space stations.

Are you retarded? Of course it does, it's not millions of kilometers away in space traveling thousands of kilometers a minute in a destabilized orbit. Neither are cost effective options, obviously.

>>79219521

>It's the same reason centrifugal force is not a good way to emulate gravity in space stations.
Spinning stations are a bad idea because of the massive motors you need to both rotate and counter rotate the spinning section. The whole thing would just rotate with a single motor, and it would begin to precess violently.
Making the seals for the rotating sections is also a complete nightmare.

It's safe to say that they're going to lose the first 5 bases due to them imploding to shit.

Then again, the good thing about this is that Chinks give zero fucks about human life, so they're just going to keep on brute forcing this process until it works and without a doubt, they're going to get results eventually.
>>79219856
And you have to spend a LOT of energy to get into that exotic orbit and a LOT LOT of energy to slow down whatever payload you want to bring down, and land it. What kind of extraction rate do you imagine? A few tons per month at the cost of a half a billion dollars per ton? There's no commodity worth that much.
Of the two, ocean mining has been done and it is monumentally cheaper and more cost effective than space will ever be.

>>79221080
No, but the deposits of precious and rare earth metals found on the sea bed are substantially higher grade than those found on land, to a degree which makes them economical to mine from the ocean floor. Higher grade means a larger amount of the metal you want in a given amount of ore.
It's obviously a ploy to stop the overpopulation crisis

>>79221978
>If shipwrecks can maintain their structure without being flattened at the bottom of the sea
Those are flooded with water. Any air pockets are compressed by exposure to the sea until they reach equilibrium. There are no sealed chambers which maintain a pressure differential.
Sea water does not just magically crush whatever you put into it. There has to be a sealed off cavity of lower pressure air. No differential means no stress on the structure
>>79221978
shipwrecks can maintain their structure because the pressure inside is the same as the outside dipshit, they are flooded.
>>79222139
Did you hear about that poor ship's cook who got stuck in an overturned sunken ship but survived 3 days inside a trapped air pocket until rescue divers found him?
The surface area of the water in that air pocket was enough that diffusion of CO2 into the water and O2 from the water into the air was sufficient that he did not asphyxiate.

But it's super cool though nigga. In space we can find aliens and shit. There's cool shit at the bottom of the sea but any civilizations or evidence of ayylmaos would be ancient ruins.
That said, we need to colonize the ocean first because it's a guaranteed. If we needed to evacuate the planet because of climate or war or something, space would be insanely expensive and difficult, while undersea would just be

It's not like there'd be a resource crunch because we could just cannibalize our cities. I'm simplifying but there's no engineering challenges with sea colonies that we couldn't solve right now let alone in the future.

Not in the parts of space we can actually reach. The Moon and Mars are just radioactive barren desert. I am pro-space too, just sayin. The fantasy of space is way better than the reality right now. What we can reach in the ocean is objectively cooler.

At that depth they would have ample warning and time to intercept with a torpedo. We'd have to send a sub down to take it out from closer range. Luckily >>79203422

Their game is that they can dump a larger sonar detector underwater that will detect submarines, and serve as a way to expand their borders. They won't do a manned base, because that costs money and expertise (two things they don't have). They can't even run their own submarine fleet or a blue water navy without crews bringing hookers and alcohol onboard.
Want to know why even liberal historians will shit on Obama? Because he fucked up with China. They're openly shitting in international seas and nobody stopped them. This isn't a problem now, but once their economy collapses and they go full Mao again they will push it out further (say, Taiwan). People will look back and point to Obama's inaction when China starts directly fucking with other countries (say, funding communists in Japan or making a military grab at Taiwan).
>>79200131
they can't even make staircases correctly but still they want to build Rapture?
yeah sure
>>79209558
because china doesn't have much of a domestic oil rig market (unlike the US) and they can't easily import them (all the disused oil rigs are in the Gulf Coast and must go around Argentina) so given the large expense they might as well just build a fully submerged lab which they could rent out to universities and put sonar on
>>79221978
Wow, true
I mean I saw pictures of a plant floating on the bottom of the ocean
just swaying there like the water was 5 feet deep
makes you think
If you think about it I men I could technically build one myself China should hire me. I could even just use stuff lying around the house. When I was 6 I engineered a way to keep a kickball under the water at a pool PERMANENTLY I know this is much deeper but I could definitely find a way if that plant and old shipwrecks can do it
wow

With global warming, our land is being eroded.
But if we can find ways to live underwater cheaply, we could stick sea colonies there.

The USN would get there first, because we have emergency subs on standby (for our own). In the event of a hull breach, it'd show up on most sonar systems and there is no way the USN would deny themselves the opportunity to plunder chink tech (like we did with various USSR sea cables).

Basic submarines are not incredibly complex devices. At the most basic level, they're just am adjustable pressure tank (like a helium tank) with a door. We've had them since before world war one.
China can certainly build one, the larger question is whether or not they're able to actually operate it without something catastrophic (like a battery exploding) happening.

Actually if you played the game you would have realized most of the signs played a big part in level design. All the grand signs were places you could go.
Plus, the signs were advertisements for people looking OUTSIDE while in rapture. Theirs only to many paths in Rapture because its man made and underwater, so Advertisements and Signs were generally in your face in major connecting tunnel/tubes.
So even while playing the signs play a gameplay role AND an aesthetic role.

and many other cases. Ships are designed to be in many airtight segments, that's why they have those hardcore doors all over the place. To say that every wreck is completely filled with water is retarded. Also, to imply that something can't be crushed as long as there's no air is minecraft-addicted-twelvie tier physics. If we can go to space, there's no fucking way we couldn't overcome any engineering challenges to reach the deep if we just redirected resources to that project. Shit, anyone who's been in the military knows about the sicknasty high tech shit the government is hiding.

>Also, to imply that something can't be crushed as long as there's no air is minecraft-addicted-twelvie tier physics
Nobody implied that you retard but for something to be crushed there needs to be a pressure differential inside and outside. Theres no pressure differential if its all outside (in a flood) and ships arent completely airtight perhaps certain segments of it and they would be crushed if pressure is high enough to overcome the stress point on the material.

Pick one, this is totally feasible for China, and extracting minerals on the ocean is "better" because it won't contribute to their pollution issue, they need alternative sources of minerals
