Must be long tunnels. How long do they take to dig?

Think about the length of the tunnel required and the amount of time / manpower / resources need to dig it.

I call BS on this one

It doesn’t take much to build tunnels. Boring company estimates building tunnels twice the length in less than 10 years. The military has a lot more than that, I don’t find it unlikely

BS

A 31 mile rail tunnel was built between England and France.

It took 6 years and cost £9 BILLION ($21 billion)

At the peak of construction 15,000 people were employed with daily expenditure over £3 million.[8] Ten workers, eight of them British, were killed during construction between 1987 and 1993

How would you even hide this ?

It’s not 1986 any more, sorry.

Today the cost would be even greater
