China's research vessel Kexue moves across the Taiwan Strait, Jan. 10, 2015. China's most sophisticated research vessel -- named Kexue, or Science -- left from the eastern city of Xiamen last Saturday on a new expedition to a west Pacific seamount. The second expedition to the Yap Seamount sea area will focus on deep-sea environment and ecology. With 74 people on board, the vessel is expected to travel 6,000 nautical miles and return in mid-February. (Xinhua/Meng Jing)

will not publish all the findings, some of them are top secret, such as undersea routes for submarine, you have to find by yourself, no one will help you.
