How to get Quantum Drilling Hub

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 20) and its weight modifiers. Tier 5 opens after 6 tier 4 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

In the game

This mining hub can extract minerals anywhere down to the planet's outer core using quantum tunneling technology to bore through solid or liquid materials without physical contact.
