"The deepest part of the Mariana Trench on Earth is only about eleven thousand meters deep, which translates to eleven kilometers," he mused. "If I were to dig through this tunnel, it would be akin to burrowing through seven Mariana Trenches. Just doing that simple calculation suddenly makes me feel even less motivated.
Besides the Mariana Trench located in the ocean, the deepest hole that humans have been able to dig is only about twelve thousand meters deep. What's more, this hole was excavated during the time of the Former Soviet Union, and subsequent human endeavors have never reached deeper.
Now that I think about it, since the Spiritual Qi Recovery has already happened, might there be some bored Awakeners who've already dug through the Earth's crust? Or maybe there are Awakeners with the ability to bore holes who, driven by scientific research, have been ordered by the Empire to dig through the crust?"
