Sudden unemployment can put a person's finances underwater, but one Chinese man found an inventive solution to being
out of work: He started building submarines. Zhang Wuyi, 37, used the setback to start building mini submarines in a makeshift
workspace in the basement of an unused building.
Amazingly, Wuyi has built three so far and each are capable of diving nearly 100 feet below the ocean's surface and traveling
6.5 miles per hour for up to 10 hours. The wrought iron subs hold two people with oxygen tanks and a video camera. Each sub
sells for around $31,000 and his main customers for the cozy contraptions are fishermen who are trying to farm sea cucumber,
a Chinese delicacy, in the Bohan Gulf region of northern China.
