Through a major scientific project, Central China's Hunan Province has made breakthroughs in key equipment and technology for deep-sea mineral resource exploration, some of which have filled international gaps. One highlight is the world's first intelligent, electric, deep-sea heavy duty mining vehicle platform, according to media reports on Tuesday.
中國(guó)中部,，湖南省一項(xiàng)科技重大專(zhuān)項(xiàng)在深海礦產(chǎn)資源勘探關(guān)鍵裝備技術(shù)上取得突破性進(jìn)展,，部分成果填補(bǔ)了國(guó)際空白。據(jù)相關(guān)媒體6月18日?qǐng)?bào)道,，該項(xiàng)目亮點(diǎn)之一即全球首臺(tái)智能電驅(qū)動(dòng)深海重載采礦車(chē)輛平臺(tái),。

Focusing on the development of 3,000-6,000 meters deep-sea mineral resources, the research team of the project has overcome two key equipment technologies, including deep-sea mineral resources exploration equipment and equipment for collection and transportation, supported by three common technologies which cover digital simulation, an all-electric drive and intelligent control, according to Xinhua News Agency.

據(jù)新華社報(bào)道，該專(zhuān)項(xiàng)研究團(tuán)隊(duì)聚焦3000至6000米深海礦產(chǎn)資源開(kāi)發(fā),，重點(diǎn)攻克了深海礦產(chǎn)資源勘探裝備,、采集/輸送裝備等2項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵裝備技術(shù)，以及支撐這些關(guān)鍵裝備的“數(shù)字仿真”“全電驅(qū)動(dòng)”“智能控制”等3項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵共性技術(shù),。

The project also developed a series of new equipment including multi-point mobile drilling and sampling equipment, making breakthroughs for 14 new technologies. The project has applied for 94 patents, 45 of which have been approved.

項(xiàng)目還研制了多點(diǎn)位移動(dòng)式鉆探取樣裝備等一系列新設(shè)備,，突破了14項(xiàng)新技術(shù)。該項(xiàng)目已申請(qǐng)94項(xiàng)專(zhuān)利,，其中45項(xiàng)已獲批準(zhǔn),。

A key restriction for deep-sea mining is that some of the key equipment technologies remain underdeveloped, as deep-sea mining has a high standard for environmental protection, and existing mature land-based mining equipment cannot be used directly, according to media reports.

據(jù)媒體報(bào)道，深海采礦的重要限制因素之一就是部分關(guān)鍵裝備技術(shù)仍不發(fā)達(dá),，由于深海采礦對(duì)環(huán)境保護(hù)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)很高,，無(wú)法直接使用現(xiàn)有成熟的陸基采礦設(shè)備。

The high pressure and salinity of deep-sea water and the complexity of ocean currents also have a great impact on mineral exploration, mining, collection, transportation and other operations, posing a major challenge to the development of specialized deep-sea mining equipment.

而深海中的高壓,、高鹽度及洋流的復(fù)雜性也同樣對(duì)礦產(chǎn)的勘探,、開(kāi)采、采集,、運(yùn)輸?shù)绕渌僮饔泻艽笥绊?，給深海采礦專(zhuān)用設(shè)備的開(kāi)發(fā)帶來(lái)極大挑戰(zhàn)。
The first phase of the project focused on key technology research and system prototype development, and field testing of some of the prototypes. The second phase focused on the integration test and demonstration of various systems and equipment for deep-sea mining, field testing of the whole system, and the creation of a full chain of products for deep-sea exploration, mining, collection and transmission, with the aim to ultimately realize the commercial exploitation of deep-sea mineral resources, according to the report.

報(bào)道稱(chēng),，該項(xiàng)目第一階段的重點(diǎn)是關(guān)鍵技術(shù)研究和系統(tǒng)原型開(kāi)發(fā),，并對(duì)部分原型進(jìn)行了現(xiàn)場(chǎng)測(cè)試。第二階段重點(diǎn)是對(duì)深海采礦的各種系統(tǒng)和設(shè)備進(jìn)行集成測(cè)試和演示,，并對(duì)整個(gè)系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)測(cè)試，以及打造深海勘探,、采礦,、采集和運(yùn)輸?shù)娜湕l產(chǎn)品，最終實(shí)現(xiàn)深海礦產(chǎn)資源的商業(yè)開(kāi)發(fā),。

The expert group for review and quality control said that the results of the project have improved the scientific and technological level of Hunan in the field of deep-sea mineral resources development, and are of great significance in promoting the development of this industry in China, according to Xinhua.

據(jù)新華社報(bào)道,，審查和質(zhì)量控制專(zhuān)家組表示，該專(zhuān)項(xiàng)成果提高了湖南省在深海礦產(chǎn)資源開(kāi)發(fā)領(lǐng)域的科技水平,，對(duì)推動(dòng)建設(shè)我國(guó)深海礦產(chǎn)資源開(kāi)發(fā)未來(lái)產(chǎn)業(yè)具有重要意義,。

The project was jointly led by Hunan University and Changsha Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with Ding Rongjun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as the project leader.

據(jù)悉，該專(zhuān)項(xiàng)由湖南大學(xué)及長(zhǎng)沙礦冶研究院共同牽頭,，中國(guó)工程院院士丁榮軍為項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人,。
