Access Point

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the Earth's surface. Researchers used an existing cave that reached an additional 300 meters deep. The salty stone was easy to excavate, meaning large equipment could be brought through the widened passages. Over years, through trial and error, new drilling technologies, and advances in material science, we were able to breach into the Earth's mantle for the first time. That was only the beginning of the challenge. Developing a reaction chamber, and delivery vehicle that could survive the indescribale heat and pressure was long thought to be impossible. Early tests with hypersolids yielded advances to our understanding of existing materials. New manufacturing processes based on 3 dimensional tesseract slices at the nano and even pico scale allow some semiconductors and even some polymers to mimic some of the behaviors of hypersolids. Scientists were able to develop a vehicle that used a special surface coating which used the heat and pressure to generate a slipstream around it's own carbon shell that forced it downward against bouyancy. This force reached it's maximum possible point and equalized at the core, where the sample has been in stable hypersolid form for 3 days now. Our plan is to begin preliminary tests and prepare for an extraction in about 22 months. We don't know if it will be safe to remove it from the stable test platform.
