What do they use a borehole for?

Usually boreholes are test drilling concepts to confirm the existence of valuable materials "natural gas, petroleum, precious metals, gemstones, minerals and other materials" beneath the surface of the ground or seabed. This particular experiment was officially a quest to reach the earths core for only GOD knows why but in all reality it's believed to be just another part of the Soviet/American race to out perform each other. America was high tech while the Soviets loved the "big and/or first at all cost" Like Sputnik and Tsar Bomba.

They capped it already and just like Chernobyl and the Duga-3 OTHB-R program they made an official announcement and brushed whatever they could under the rug and moved on.
 
I think it's some kind of soupy construction goop. Unless you meant Slurpee which I'm down for.
