of a thermal drill that is powered by a mini atomic reactor and eats into the
earth like a mole, in the form of an armored vehicle. This drill is intended to
pierce the earth's crust, which is about 25 miles thick, and take samples of
the molten magma that lies underneath it...
"Did the tunnel makers possess a
combination of thermal drills and electron ray guns? It is perfectly possible.
If the drill came up against some exceptionally hard geological strata, these
could be blasted by a few well-aimed shots with the gun. Then the armored
thermal drill would attack the resulting blocks and heat the mass of debris to
the liquid state. As soon as the liquid rock cooled down, it would form a
diamond-hard glaze. The tunnel system would be safe against infiltration by
water, and supports for the chambers would be superfluous."
