Core Insights - The "Deep Blue Intelligent i3 Voyage" successfully tested various unmanned scientific research devices in the northern South China Sea, focusing on their innovative, integrated, and intelligent performance [1][4]. Group 1: Unmanned Devices - The testing involved multiple types of drones, including intelligent seawater sampling drones, remote sensing platform drones, magnetic survey multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing drones, self-developed six-rotor drones, thermal imaging detection drones, and cross-domain drones [2]. - The Zhuhai Yunzhou L25C unmanned boat, designed for marine environmental surveys in shallow waters, and the "Dolphin 3" surface rescue robot, which can be remotely operated, both performed excellently during the tests [2]. Group 2: Research and Development - The unmanned submersible developed by the Southern University of Science and Technology and Anhua Ocean can autonomously move vertically and horizontally in water, collecting seawater samples, and is expected to excel in sampling in hydrothermal and cold spring areas [4]. - The successful integration of drones, unmanned boats, and unmanned submersibles during the tests lays a technical foundation for future unmanned, three-dimensional, and intelligent dynamic monitoring of marine environments [4]. Group 3: Mission Details - The "Xiangyanghong 10" research vessel, with a displacement of 4,615 tons and a length of 93 meters, is a key asset for deep-sea comprehensive scientific research in China, having completed over 40 major marine survey missions since its commissioning in 2014 [6]. - The "Deep Blue Intelligent i3 Voyage" serves as a precursor to the upcoming "Deep Blue Dream 2035" global ocean research mission planned for this autumn [6].
