China retrieves basalt samples at 5000m depth
China succeeded in extracting samples of basalt rocks from the South China Sea seabed at a depth of 5,000 meters using the drilling vessel Mingxiang, making it the third country worldwide to achieve this milestone. A 4.2-meter-long sample was collected using advanced national drilling technology, involving 170 researchers to study the evolution of ancient marine environments and their resources. This operation represents an important step forward in deep-sea exploration, as it marked the first time local drilling technology was used at such a depth.
