00:00 China is going to dig deep in the ground.
00:03 What is the reason?
00:04 This is probably the 8th wonder of the world.
00:07 What technology is China using to dig so deep?
00:11 And why does it want to find the treasures hidden in the earth's crust?
00:16 You will learn all the details in this video.
00:18 There is no new trend of digging the deepest hole in the world.
00:25 Earlier, this trend was also in place between the US and the Soviet Union.
00:29 In 1957, the US decided to dig a hole in the ocean.
00:34 Experts thought that the ground would be closer to the ocean than the mantle.
00:39 The level would be 30 to 35, while the ocean would be 5 to 10 km.
00:43 With this thought in mind, the Project MOHO was launched.
00:46 During this time, in October 1957, Russia launched its first satellite into space.
00:51 Along with this, news began to come that Russia was also preparing to do the same.
00:56 In this way, the US began to be more eager to do this work.
01:02 Although this hole could be dug up to 183 meters,
01:05 but it laid the foundation for the search for oil and gas through such holes and deep sea drilling in the future.
01:12 After this, the Soviet Union started the Kola Super Deep Borehole near the Norwegian border.
01:20 This project lasted for about 20 years.
01:23 Russian scientists wanted to know the secrets hidden in the earth by drilling as deep as possible.
01:30 Along with this, they also wanted to show the US.
01:33 Under this thought, work on the hole began in 1970 and continued until 1989.
01:39 During this time, Russian experts succeeded in drilling 12,262 meters or 40,230 feet deep in the ground.
01:48 The diameter of this hole was 9 inches.
01:50 This gave scientists a chance to learn a lot about the earth.
01:53 Later, due to lack of funding, this project was closed.
01:57 This was done by humans, is the deepest hole in the world to date.
02:01 In 2008, the excavation of the Al-Shaheen oil well in Qatar increased to 88 feet.
02:09 The hole in this well is 40,318 feet.
02:12 Although this hole made by Qatar is the largest hole in the world in terms of length,
02:18 but it is not straight at all, but a bulging hole.
02:21 Its depth from the ground level to the inside is 35,770 feet, which is much less than Kola.
02:28 Therefore, the deepest hole in the world is the Kola Super Deep Hole.
02:33 China is currently working on two super deep boreholes.
02:40 One hole is being drilled in the Sichuan Basin in southwestern China.
02:44 It will be 34,514 feet deep.
02:47 The second hole will be deeper than this.
02:49 It is being drilled in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, China.
02:53 Its depth will be 36,417 feet.
02:56 Assume its depth from the fact that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
03:02 Its height is approximately 28,871 feet.
03:05 Even if Mount Everest is turned under the ground, it will not be able to reach the top of these holes.
03:12 Russia drilled it because it was having a cold war with America.
03:17 Qatar drilled to extract oil, but what is the need for China?
03:22 The first reason for this is the treasure of energy hidden in the ground.
03:25 The two companies that are digging these holes are both government oil companies' Zilli companies.
03:31 The areas where these holes are being drilled, there are a lot of oil and gas reserves.
03:36 It is hoped that China can get a lot of natural resources from the depth of the ground.
03:42 The second big reason for this is that China wants to make the whole world aware of its superiority in the field of technology.
03:49 Through these holes, China will show the world what kind of technology it has.
03:54 During the excavation, they will have to face many challenges.
03:58 Because of them, China will also get a chance to test its equipment.
04:02 According to Chinese experts, the machines they are using are able to withstand temperatures above 200 degrees centigrade.
04:11 In addition, these machines can create more than 1700 times more pressure than atmospheric pressure.
04:16 China has called these holes a powerful telescope.
04:20 Which will not only help to see the secrets hidden in the depths of the ground,
04:24 but also China's iron will be made well in the field of technology all over the world.
04:30 Will China be able to achieve its goal in the world through these holes?
04:34 How deep will these holes go?
04:36 How long will it take to dig them?
04:38 The decision will be made in the near future.
