gollark: With some Wojbie2-style setup to attain fire aspect books it would probably be possible to get more lasers than that, and the bot could also supervise the turtles so no human input is needed.
gollark: Assuming that that allows me to do one chunk per 15 seconds (linear speedup), it'd only take 130 days of turtle runtime.
gollark: If I spent a lot of krist on lasers I could plausibly get 128 or so, enough to cover half a chunk at once.
gollark: It'd take a year at optimal speeds. Probably more in practice since a player would need to be there to manage them.
gollark: 32 GTech™ experimental laser drills could plausibly clear a chunk in a minute or so. There are (14000/16)² chunks. Oh no.
