WHAT DOES SUBTERRENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Subterrene

A Subterrene is a vehicle that travels underground much as a submarine travels underwater, either by mechanical drilling, or by melting its way forward. Subterrenes existed first in fiction as mechanical drillers, with real-world thermal designs and examples following in the second half of the 20th century. Fictional subterrenes are often depicted as cylindrical in shape with conical drill heads at one or both ends, sometimes with some kind of tank-tread for propulsion, and described either as leaving an empty tunnel behind it, or as filling the space behind it with mining debris. The plausibility of such machines has declined with the advent of the real-world tunnel boring machines, which demonstrate the reality of the boring task. Tunnel boring machine themselves are not usually considered to be subterrenes, possibly because they lack the secondary attributes - mobility and independence - that are normally applied to vehicles. A real-world, mobile subterrene must work thermally, using massive amounts of heat to melt and push through rock. The front of the machine is equipped with a stationary drill tip which is kept at 1,300–1,700 °F.
