在不远的将来,岩层勘探可能采用小型遥控隧道掘进机。这种掘进机装备有尖端的地质力学和地球物理测试装置。当它由电子遥控导向穿过地层时,能像一艘宇宙飞船一样向坐在计算机屏幕前的隧道掘进工程师发送所需的全部资料,如初始应力、地质和地 In the near future, rock drilling may use small remote tunnel boring machines. This roadheader is equipped with state-of-the-art geomechanical and geophysical testing equipment. When it’s remotely piloted through the earth, it sends all the information it needs, like a spacecraft, to a tunneling engineer sitting in front of a computer screen, such as initial stress, geology and geology
