美国太空技术探索公司正在测试一艘“小号潜艇”，可能有助于泰国当局营救依然困在一个被洪水淹没出口的岩洞里的八名男孩和他们的足球教练。
公司拥有者埃隆·马斯克星期天将工作人员在美国加州一所高中的游泳池测试这艘铝制水下密封舱的视频上传到网上。
马斯克的公司已经向泰国营救行动派遣了四名工程师。公司一名发言人说，泰国官员们向马斯克提出了研制“小号潜艇”的要求。
如果试验成功，这艘“小号潜艇”将会由一个17小时的航班空运到泰国。
Space X rocket company is testing a “kid-sized submarine” that could help in the rescue operation of eight boys and their soccer coach still trapped in the flooded cave in northern Thailand.
On Sunday, the owner of Space X, Elon Musk, posted videos of the aluminum capsule being tested at a swimming pool of Palisades Charter High School, in Los Angeles, California.
A spokesman for Musk’s Boring Company, which has sent four engineers at the cave, said that Thai officials requested the device.
The submarine would be placed on a 17-hour flight to Thailand, if the tests are reported to be successful.
