內(nèi)容介紹：
兄弟承包商公司在秘魯贏得了一份政府合同，要在山中爆破一條隧道，連接兩條孤立的鐵路線。最后期限即將到來，而承包商卻碰上了一堵墻：過硬的巖石讓傳統(tǒng)的爆破技術(shù)望而卻步。該公司面臨著完成任務(wù)的壓力，否則合同將由他們的競爭對手Blakeson & Grinder公司拿下。喬布-蒂塔斯先生聽說過湯姆-斯威夫特和湯姆的巨炮，這種巨炮被用來保護(hù)巴拿馬運(yùn)河，他想聘請湯姆研制一種特殊的爆破粉，幫助他們完成挖掘工作。
The Titus Brothers Contractors company have won a government contract in Peru to blast a tunnel through a mountain and connect two isolated railroad lines. The deadline is approaching, and the contractors have hit a literal wall: excessively hard rock which defies conventional blasting techniques. The company is under pressure to finish, or else the contract will default to their rivals, Blakeson & Grinder. Mr. Job Titus has heard of Tom Swift and Tom's giant cannon, which is used in protecting the Panama Canal, and wants to hire Tom to develop a special blasting powder to help them finish the excavation.
