China is building a nuclear test facility modeled after America's Z machine

The transcript discusses a nuclear weapons development base in Mianyang, where an AZ machine is being built to produce 60 million joules of energy. This involves firing electrical pulses at tungsten wires, creating plasma and a strong magnetic field. The process generates X-ray energy, simulating nuclear explosion conditions. The facility aids in testing weapons under extreme conditions and may contribute to developing technology for unlimited clean energy.

What is the primary purpose of the AZ machine being built in Mianyang?

• To create a new type of tungsten

• To dismantle nuclear weapons

• To develop a new form of electricity

• To produce 60 million joules of energy

How does the energy flow affect the tungsten wires in the AZ machine?

• It cools them down

• It dissolves them into plasma

• It breaks them into pieces

• It turns them into solid metal

What is created when the exploded particles collide in the AZ machine?

• A new type of metal

• Intense radiation in the form of X-ray energy

• A magnetic field

• A sound wave

What can researchers learn from the facility in Mianyang?

• How to build new weapons

• How to create new types of energy

• How to dismantle nuclear facilities

• How weapons perform under extreme conditions

What future potential does the facility have beyond weapon research?

• Developing technology for unlimited clean energy

• Creating new types of nuclear weapons

• Building faster computers

• Designing new transportation systems
