Inside the machine recreates the nuclear bomb and the black hole Universe is located in Mexico

We can't explode indiscriminately with a nuclear bomb, we can't get into the Universe black hole, but we have the Z Machine to do the same.

Machine Z - The bridge of people with what should not be done

Sandia National Laboratory is assigned the mission of studying nuclear weapons. But this laboratory in Albuquerque, Mexico, has a much greater, greater task: it has to study the natural characteristics of the universe itself. Inside, the machine had a cool name - the Z machine, which carried both of those responsibilities.

The Z machine collects electricity to create a special phenomenon only after a nuclear bomb explodes, creating the (theoretically) effect of an even and fusion reaction, creating an effect. may be at the center of a star.

Z is our only bridge with the detonation of a weapon of great destructive power or travel and the center of the Sun - both of which obviously a person should not do. Thanks to it, we can expand the horizon of human knowledge. All of that is in the main task of Sandia Laboratories: "keeping the US stockpile safe, secure and effective ".

With the United States having many changes, the future of the laboratory is government owned - the National Nuclear Security Executive Committee is still unspecified.

The scenario repeats 150 times / year

Those who are fortunate to visit the Z Machine are told that they are not allowed to take pictures outside this military base, obviously for security reasons. But when they entered the inner world of that machine, they could shoot as much as they wanted.

That inner world is so amazing that it is unbelievable. The Z machine was made up of 2,160 electrolytic capacitors, forming a circle of over 31 meters in a large tank filled with solution. The tank may have water or oil storage, depending on the requirements of the test.

When they were ready to carry out the tests, the other capacitors started discharging the electricity, bringing the energy flow to the size of 20 TNT teams running in the cables that were submerged under the liquid. The huge amount of energy was aimed at a wheel shaft in a large cylinder 6 meters high - a vacuum environment preventing air particles from interfering with the experiment. In just 100 nanoseconds, the energy from the large capacitors is pushed into the target, causing the entire laboratory to glow a purple color of electricity.

The temperature and pressure of the electrically charged place increased sharply, reaching nearly the required level for the atom to be able to combine with other atoms to produce a fusion reaction. " When the Z Machine starts firing electricity, shock waves are released, " said Joel Lash, senior executive at the research site. "The ceiling will vibrate with those shock waves ."

After each test, the aforementioned wheel shaft is completely destroyed, the research team will have to rebuild a target to fire electricity. The person embarking on the dismantling of test tools, on the roof is a 20-ton crane ready for transporting capacitors.

The cleanup and preparation for the next test will last until about 6 am the next day, so that at 5 pm that day, the next shot will be tested. One year, about 150 such tests take place with the same scenario: they rebuild the experiment and the target, they shoot and destroy the target during the test, and they do it again.

Mr. Lash said: " Every day we start testing again. On this planet there probably isn't anything like that."

Sandia's nuclear future

Perhaps that is only true on this Earth. Because outside, the Universe also made "tests" similar to the Z Machine. It both played the role of a representative and interpreter of our world: representing the trials. Human experience can be done, and the translator gives the human ability the universe can do. This machine can recreate the harsh conditions of the Universe and at the same time, give advice on energy policies as well as military tactics.

This harmony spreads over the entire Sandia laboratory, where both research on energy / nuclear weapons, while studying clean energy systems, urgent environmental issues, and even, those solutions for global security "- including security of network security, monitoring of nuclear situation in the world and some other great secrets.

Sandia currently carries many important, important enough missions to be able to continue working for a long time, no matter how the world situation changes. But also, when the world sees interest in nuclear more important than the threat of climate change, Sandia will no longer be a scientific research base.
