2017-07-03 Special English<br>This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.<br>Chinese scientists have announced that they have realized the real-time transmission of deep-sea data for more than 190 straight days, setting a new world record.<br>During an expedition to the west Pacific at the end of last year, researchers with the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences realized the real-time transmission of deep-sea data after improving the subsurface buoy observation network.<br>They put a floating body on the sea, which was connected to a submersible buoy. The submersible buoy transmits data to the floating body, which then sends it to a satellite. Researchers then receive the data through the satellite.<br>The real-time deep-sea data includes the condition of the subsurface buoy, the flow speed, direction and pressure of seawater.<br>Real-time transmission of deep-sea data provides important technical support for research on the ocea...
