There was more exhaust gas, now coming out of the pipe at the side of the drill, when a secondary engine inside the drill started up. With a loud whir, the drill began spinning, first slowly, then faster and faster until it became a blur of steel.
The mecha pushed the drill into the living mountain, and I had to cover my ears from the sound. Above us, a few startled dragons took flight from the tops of the mountains.
The steel drill crushed the soft stone like a piece of cardboard, sending stone shards all around! Even Tamsha stepped back.
I applauded again, marveling at the industrial might of this machine. In minutes, the drill made holes in stone that a team of diggers would need to spend hours on!
With this, new hives could be built anywhere, even faster than before! Or the mecha could drill into the ground and reach for the valuable minerals deep below.
