The ocean floor is not a flat surface; it resembles land with its rises and falls, mountains and plains.
Here lies an underwater mountain range beneath the ocean, where a sunken submarine has ended up stranded. This location is just over a thousand meters from the ocean surface. At this depth, Xiang Shan's vehicle can reach but cannot guarantee safety. Considering Panic, Xiang Shan decided not to bring the vehicle down.
The submarine landed in this spot.
The submarine is only tens of meters long and about ten meters wide, appearing short and stout, seemingly designed for scientific research activities.
Xiang Shan approached and found the surface of the submarine had little sediment. It was evidently only recently sunken. He took a half-turn and quickly discovered what had caused the submarine to sink.
