Description

This work is a science fiction adventure presented as a narrative recounting a significant engineering project. The story focuses on the construction of an undersea railroad intended to connect major Atlantic cities. The narrative details the technical aspects of the project, safety concerns, and sudden discoveries made during the building process. The plot revolves around a lone survivor of a catastrophic incident within the Undersea Tube, who reflects on the events that led to the disaster.
