ON BOARD SHIP XIANGYANGHONG 09 Cheap Stitched Jerseys , May 24 (Xinhua) -- Jiaolong,China's manned submersible, conducted a dive in the Mariana Trenchon Tuesday, with Xinhua News Agency journalist Liu Shiping onboard. This is his recollection after coming back to the mothershipXiangyanghong 09.

On May 23, 2017 at 1 p.m. sharp, after nearly six hours in theMariana Trench inside China's submersible Jiaolong, I said goodbyeto the bottom of the sea and reached the sea surface 156 minuteslater.

Diving along with scientists to 4,811 meters below the sea'ssurface Cheap Replica Jerseys , in the world's deepest known trench, was a journey full ofwonder and surprises.

The dive took place at the northern slope of the Mariana's"Challenger Deep," and the whole dive lasted 8 hours and 50minutes.

Riding inside Jiaolong, I felt like I was sitting in aspacecraft, roaming the sky, and seeing "shooting stars" passingby.

Those "shooting stars" quickly turned into "meteor showers" whenJiaolong reached a depth of about 400 to 500 meters.

The stars were likely euphausiid plankton, which were possiblyfrightened and darting away from our intruding submersible.

Tuesday's operation was the first of Jiaolong's five dives inthe third stage of China's 38th oceanic expedition.

Named after a mythical dragon, Jiaolong reached a maximum depthof 7 Cheap Sports Jerseys ,062 meters in the Mariana Trench in June 2012.

We were definitely not alone -- fish, shrimp, sea cucumbers,starfish, sponges and others inhabited the deep sea world.

What impressed me most were the "dancing sea cucumbers."

They were so big and so beautiful. When they ran away from oursubmersible, they looked like elegant dancers in the ocean.

At 11:21 a.m. local time, a 30-centimeter-long purple seacucumber swam near Jiaolong, and suddenly it started to movequickly.

"It must feel the movement of our machine and think we areenemies Cheap New Jerseys ," a scientist told me.

Bang! It hit the mechanical arms of Jiaolong and dropped intothe sample box of the submersible.

"This is a first in our 60 dives! A sea animal ran toward usrather than away!" said Tang Jialing, chief crew member ofTuesday's dive.

Collecting rocks in the trench was another important task forJiaolong and its two mechanical arms.

But nature never lets us get what we want easily.

When we were at a depth of 4,792 meters, a long black rock drewthe attention of the scientists. Tang ordered the mechanical armsto reach for the rock.

The mechanical arms grabbed the huge rock very easily, whichsurprised the team.

It turned out not to be a rock, but a clump of soft sediment.This happened a few more times during our expedition, and wenicknamed those fake rocks "liars."

After nearly nine hours of hard work, the scientists madeobservations Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping , took photos and video, sampled and surveyed, andcollected seawater, rocks and samples of marine life, including asea cucumber, a sponge and two starfish.

Being the world's first journalist to dive deep into the MarianaTrench was certainly my coolest and most unforgettableexperience.

The "stars," the "dancers," and the "liars" -- they all stillroam in my mind.

In the deep sea surrounded by darkness and quiet Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping , they made mefeel the existence and pulse of life. Enditem
