After several deep dive test, the performance and the performance of the "dragon" is very stable, and the operator of the technology becomes more skilled. RIA Novosti reported that the "dragon" manned bathyscaphs, the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific region are frequent challenges to the new record. Dive to 7000 meters, marking China have a manned reach the depths of the ocean for more than 99 percent of the global operations, also marks the Chinese submarine manned scientific research and resource exploration and ability to reach the international advanced level. The "dragon" submersible is equipped with advanced communications and underwater micro-appearance of the underwater acoustic detection equipment, high-speed transmission of images and voice, or even to detect the small goal of the seabed. This means that the "dragon" deep-sea operation and operations, to complete the underwater variety of mineral resources, seabed geology, geomorphology, and even hydrological currents such as scientific exploration, study and transmission.
 
China has always insisted that the "dragon" manned deep submergence is used for scientific research purposes, but the United States, "Washington Times" that
 
The "dragon" made in the communication remote control, electronics, machinery and other technological breakthroughs, can be used for military purposes, especially for the development of future deep-sea submarine. Americans at this time the mood was somewhat of jealousy and envy. As early as 1960, the United States on the use of deep-sea submersible "Liyaside", two divers into the 11,034 m from the ground Maria Daytona ditch Valley. The U.S. Navy used to have three manned submersible, but retired after the 1998 "Sea Cliff" submersible, the United States there is no development of new submersible. For the military role of the "dragon", the former U.S. Navy officer Donne Walls, the submersible can be used to intercept or cut undersea communications cable, and recovery of foreign weapons in the seabed, or repair or rescue Navy submarine.
 
Quite concerned about the "dragon" as well as Japan, China and Japan in the East China Sea has a serious sovereignty dispute. Japan Times article said that the "dragon" is claimed to perform a key task for the PLA Navy and national security agencies. Including into the foreign sea fiber optic communications cable to assist the actions of China's growing submarine fleet to intercept diplomatic and commercial secrets, and the mapping of high-precision maps of the seabed.
 
German media that the "dragon" is like the depths of the ocean hunting, China has become increasingly active in the Sea activities will lead to a seabed resources war. China's sustained economic growth requires more resources, the future supply of land resources, may lead to a major crisis. Therefore, China's leaders must be turned to the sea and seabed resources.
 
It is reported that the "dragon", the main task for the future within the area specified in the International Seabed Authority, the acquisition of undersea pictures and video clips, and probing the topography and geological conditions in the sea. Permission of the International Seabed Authority, once the technology is mature, China will be able to used for commercial purpose exploration of mineral and other resources in the region.
 
Back in May 2010 and June, the "dragon" had carried out 17 dives (the longest lasted more than nine hours), which once also use the robotic arm will be a Chinese flag stuck in the seabed of the South China Sea. That time, some Western media interpretation, said, "This symbol of China to enter the South China Sea seabed resources.
 
According to data from the English Wikipedia site, currently the South China Sea has been proven oil reserves of about 77 billion barrels, while It is estimated that the total quantity of oil in the South China Sea about 280 billion barrels. In addition, natural gas reserves are estimated at about 266 trillion cubic feet. According to the survey conducted by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines, the South China Sea has the world's third largest marine biodiversity, the South China Sea to become a very important region of the world's fishery resources. Asia Times article pointed out that China's manned deep submergence technology can be put into practical use, the South China Sea is likely to become the first "training grounds".
 
At the end of May this year, China's deep space technology R & D department for the first time to show the public their latest successful development of deep space workstation. This system and the "dragon" out of the same door - are developed by the No. 702 Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. The "dragon" manned deep submergence submarine sneaked into the 7000 meters, but carry a small number of working time is short, strong scientific experiments. In contrast, deep-space station allows the research team of 12 people can stay for several days at 1500 m below the seabed.
 
Deep-sea space station is not subject to sea Severe storms environmental constraints, long period, the weather in the deep waters of direct control of the operating tools and equipment to conduct underwater engineering operations, resource exploration and development, marine scientific research, manned deep-sea carrying equipment. Such as the sky Space Station (ISS) is the core of the field of aerospace technology, deep-sea space station represents a core technology of ocean frontiers, reflects a country's technological level and economic strength.
 
At present, China is developing a small deep-sea mobile workstations, plans to end the "12th Five-Year. The workstation shaped like a small submarine, but the work potential deep is far greater than military submarines in general, up to 1500 m; the use of battery power and can stay underwater for 15-18 days and nights, four underwater speed, the largest containing members 12 people. After the successful development of the workstation, developed for deepwater oil and gas fields in China, the ocean observing network construction and operation and maintenance, marine scientific research to provide deep-sea fishing equipment.
