>"China is planning to build a deep sea lab to look for minerals under the sea bed.
>According to a proposal presented by the Chinese Science Ministry, the lab will be placed about 3,000 meters deep and provide long-time living and working space for scientists looking for sources of oil, natural gas and valuable minerals."
Will Pressure become real?
>"China has not disclosed the possible location of the lab, but the Communist-led country has been asserting its power in disputed areas of the South China Sea.
>Although such a lab can also have military objectives, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Xu Liping, said that its purpose will be mainly civilian."

>"China has spent hundreds of billions of dollars for a planned deep-sea platform in disputed waters near the Spratly Islands.
>Engineers with the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation plan to create a lab nearly 10,000 feet below the surface of the South China Sea. The move will further rile Vietnam and the Philippines, which contest China’s growing presence in the region.
>“Having this kind of long-term inhabited station has not been attempted this deep, but it is certainly possible,” said Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.
>“The deep sea contains treasures that remain undiscovered and undeveloped, and in order to obtain these treasures we have to control key technologies in getting into the deep sea, discovering the deep sea, and developing the deep sea,” the president said"

Oh China.
>>341014527
This is an impossibility. Nobody would be able to live undersea like this for any more than a few days.
So what are the chances of everything just going to shit within the first three years?
>>341015743
Why not?
We can live in space for months, and those conditions are worse.
We can live underground for months as well for that matter.

>>341015879
No they're not. The pressure at that depth is incredibly strong. Building a structure that could stay down there indefinitely is beyond us currently.
It's just like Beyond Two Souls.
I can't believe David Cage was right about anything.

>>341014527
>China awakens an ancient evil that laid dormant in the earth for a gazillion years.
this is going to happen, why do you think nobody wants to venture into undersea mining. Cost means nothing, not even saudis want to invest in underwater mining.
>>341016045
To be fair. I'd rather trust a team with a budget of hundreds of billions of dollar behind them to have a decent solution to the problem rather than to trust you.
>>341015682
>give back to citizens that kill babies on the street and mutilate animals
The government doesn't help its people because they are beyond help. It's better to just kill them all.
A two-mile deep facility in icy cold water of many, many tons of pressure, with a Chinese-built facility with a Chinese nuclear reactor and more likely than not to be transported there in some ancient second-hand bathyscaphe.
Fuck. No. I don't want to die by any scenario involving such awful things.

They build stuff that maximizes growth on paper. Safe escalators don't provide as much of a GDP boost as massive ghost cities.
>>341016385
Sacrificial zinc anodes exist. That's how they prevent the hulls of big ships from rusting. There's also much less oxygen available for oxidation at that depth

I think something like that is possible but wildly inefficient at this point in time. I can see this falling through once they start hammering out the details and financing.

>>341018173
China isn't a developed country. Only big cities like Shanghai are anywhere close to being called that. Half the country still has problems with running water.
>>341017728
Building pretty much all the fucking ridiculously long bridges and having pretty much the largest X of anything. Fuck load of dams, including the Three Gorges Dam. The South–North Water Transfer Project. The Shanghai Tower, biggest Space Agency. The Qingzang Tibet railway and so on.
Sure they might not be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Xg7lYuYus
But to say they aren't pretty much the biggest country when it comes to engineering feats these days is just wrong.

Its not a toy. It makes real cupcakes, with a 40 watt bulb, and it has icing packets, but the secret ingredient, is love. Damn it.

And yet they build stuff most countries dare not even dream to do, that works out great.
I dislike China as much as the next guy, but their engineering is one of their more impressive points and I think it's fair to give credit where it's due.
And let's face it. for every fucked up elevator in some shitty city, there are probably millions which work fine.

No one said we can't. We said it is harder, and it is.

They'll probably at least attempt it. But of what value would this really be? Why do we need a human habitat on the bottom of the ocean?
We need one in space because we need to study the effects of 0-g, study how long term space isolation affects people, create tools to keep humans alive/healthy.

They aren't doing it for the research. I mean they'll probably research shit if they build it, but the main reason for doing it is a status thing. They want to build it to say "look at what we fucking made," and space is old hat in that regard.

It's not that they can't do things, it's that they generally do them poorly because they have no quality control, or lack the knowledge to do it correctly.

>Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

But there's no benefit to that. The easier, safer, better in every way, method is to build giant bunkers (which we already do.) Seriously the mega-wealthy are building giant ass survival bunkers.
The bottom of the ocean is a wasteland. There's no way to survive. Not to mention that it's impossible to perform maintenance without some kind of tie to a mainland surface facility. It's like a space station that you can't leave to repair.

deep sea fish are fucking nuts. they're basically jelly when you get em to the surface but down in the pressure they form up perfectly. alsosperm whales can dive as deep as they can because their rib cage literally collapses under the water pressure every time they dive

They don't. The ocean actually has several "stratospheres" of salinity and pressure. Fish and the like live in the upper layers. The only life that even get 2/3 down are invertebrates like jellyfish/squid that can withstand the pressure because they themselves are in-compressible (made of 99.999% liquid water, no gases.)

pressure, mainly.
the deeper you go the higher it gets.
"For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by 14.5 psi."

>>341020542
That unless chinese engineers REALLY get their shit together, some human rib cages might end up collapsing too
>>341020382
Every ten meters you move down the sea, pressure increases by one atm. 1 km down the pressure is 100 that of the surface, which leads to huge problems with engineering. A tiny hole could have catastrophic consequences
Not to mention the costs and risks of maintaining it

Well the moon [atleast what we know] is fuck all but a rockbesides the moon spiders the government covered up. We could have been in the beginning stages of terraforming Mars already if the government hadn't cut NASA's funding.
Didn't think I'd see the day when deepsea threads turned to shit on /v/
Are they gonna build it in one piece, then sink it? Or gradually add modules like the ISS?
Will you come in thru a pool in the bottom like Subnautica? Or a docking ring?

A moon base where we could launch ships from would be a huge aid to space travel. Plus moonrocks.

American designed cars are arguable bad, but most BMW's, Volkswagons, or any other European car you buy in America are made in America. Same for Jap cars too.
Besides, you've clearly never seen a chinese made car.
