Getting D&M Over Profundity
This Engineer’s research has convinced him that Perthville’s mine is now far too deep, and is closing in fast on the centre of the earth.
“In such a situation, miners suffer from heat exhaustion,” the Engineer told The Perthville Times. “And I hardly need to add that, if they continue to dig, they risk ending up in China.”
The only way to prevent that outcome is to request a larger loan from the bank. The Engineer can then develop new technology to stop the mine from being decommissioned.
Loan applications take too long in the best of worlds, so the Engineer is blocking the doors of the bank until his request is approved.
