Does the dog need to go through the core, or can it cut a line like a chord through the mantle?

Inconel and asbestos. It'll be a one way trip for the poor pupper.

That's a long walk for dinner.

The mission requirement is that the dog dig to China. I think that not going through the core isn't really faithful to the mission intent, even if it might be technically okay.

Depending on start and end point, might it be possible to make it straight from the US to China without passing through the center? Practically speaking, how far off center would doggo have to be to provide thermal benefit?

C'mon dude it says it right in the thread title. This is important.

What if we got Yeti to make segmented power armor where each segment was a self contained Inconel vacuum tumbler. That would keep super doggo cool even at 9800F for 3 to 5 days.

WAIT...we were being serious?

and yes I think nanotubes are an excellent conductor...but they are thought to act in the lungs similar to asbestos...little pointy needles that are biologically inert so they stay in there forever...poking holes in places you don't want holes.

Important, like serious, like Sirius the DOG STAR!
If our furry fido friend survives this trip, OP will be asking for help with warp drive technology for the next!

I still haven't seen an answer to the dog shit ejection problem.

We can wait to eject the shit until we are actually in China.

Not a problem, put in a few rubber tree leaves for pup to chew, the heat will vulcanize it into real rubber dog shit. Shipping the genuine article (not fake rubber dog shit) to China instead of receiving fakes from there is like dividing by zero and will create a warp in the space time continuum and vastly aid pooch's progress in all his journeys.

Does it have to be a GSD? My Great Dane decided to shit in my bedroom this morning that I stepped in. I volunteer him for this mission.

Chinesium or Indiaminum are both poor choices.

He's also just a regular dog. The specs for this mission call for a genetically-altered super dog with enough intelligence to operate the systems.

can he be a genetically superior super smart wiener dog? I feel like that general plan form lends itself to deep penetration in holes...plus cylinders are easier to make

If you needed to build a powered-armor type suit that a genetically-modified German Shepherd Dog could operate to dig a hole straight through the Earth, exiting in China, what type of heat and pressure resistant material would be best for the external exoskeleton?

This is a serious question and time sensitive.

I request scope clarification.

What is the maximum temperature the modified dog can handle?

What is the maximum pressure the modified dog can handle?

How much weight can the modified dog carry?

Does the dog have to dig on his own power or can the suit assist? Are only "digging motions" allowed or can the suit utilize drilling or other methods?

Can the suit fully encapsulate the dog or does the dog have to be exposed to some degree?

Working up some initial sketches.

Suit is powered and....caninepomorphic? This is the only acceptable form factor from my research in Japanese animated documentaries. It can however join with other suits to form a really big anthropomorphic robot werewolf thing. With a sword that doubles as a harmonic resonance weapon which also may be useful for digging.
Encapsulation is the only way doggo will survive.

The dog is certainly encapsulated. The suit will certainly offer power-assisted digging motion. Drilling is certainly out, a dog drilling to China would just be silly.

The genetic modification program for the dog will focus on intelligence and ability to interface the paws with the control switchology. Temperature resistance should be typical of existing mammals, although shaving the dog is a possibility, and no one here so far seems to be considering a cooling system for the suit, in addition to heat resistant properties. Maybe the "dog tail" portion of the suit can function as a heat sink and shed heat-bearing "hairs" behind the dog.

so...a shaved wiener....dog?

or a doge... with dogerhosen?

or a corgi that was obviously engineered with the whitcomb area rule for supersonic flight in mind

these all look like viable options for enhanced doggo cooling applications..

I might look at pure grain alcohol as a cooling medium...this is definitely a "hold my beer" build.
