Usage of すら in この中ではそれすら異常なスピードで進むというのか


Just want to confirm my understanding. From what I can tell, すら means 'even'.

So in a sentence like: "この中ではそれすら異常なスピードで進むというのか" is my understanding correct
that それすら is referring to the 異常なスピード?

Roughly translated my understanding is something like: "So this means its
progressing at even that abnormal speed in here?"




No, this それ is just "it" or "that", and refers to some moving/progressing
thing (eg, a vehicle, a program, a chemical reaction) mentioned in the
previous context.

> この中では **それすら** 異常なスピードで進むというのか。  
>  So, in here, **even that** progresses at extraordinary speeds?

"That abnormal speed" is そんな異常なスピード or そのような異常なスピード:

> この中では **そのような** 異常なスピードで進むというのか。  
>  So, in here, [it] progresses at an extraordinary speed **like that**?  
>  So, in here, [it] progresses at **such** an extraordinary speed?
