    This is so incomprehensibly stupid. Without elaborating, you assumed the exactly vertical path through the center of the earth. This is also the absolute hardest, most unrealistic path with most magma, heat and pressure, etc… If you’d just dig curved sideways (you know, like people do for actual IRL tunnels) you can suddenly reach so many more countries without hitting water.
