That Howard wants us to mine uranium and sell it to IndiaLand, well hopefully that will never happen if the z-machine gets off the ground. When all the fossil fuels dry up, so they say.
What is the z-machine you ask? Well its the answer to our energy needs for the future, mabey. The z-machine image is a scary matrix type looking thing of a machine and works using x-rays fired rapidly and across a small space. About the size of half a matchbox.

Amps in the number of millions pass through very fine tungsten wires. Within a magnetic field wires react and turn to plasma, not the hospital kind. In the right conditions, this energy can be turned to heat. Hotter then the core of a star, reckoned people working on the project. In fact, they weren't even sure if temperatures could be sustainable on earth, and thought mabey switching the thing on would burn the air like phosphorus igniting. But on a much larger scale.

Never before had this been done. Sounding like a dodgy pornographic robot movie plot, the first man to turn on the z-machine ever was a guy called someone i don't know. Scared and confused about what was going to happen, he pressed her button and away it fired. The earth shook and the z-machine sent pulses of raw power through her body. The man shivered and thank god he didn't die from her powerful explosions. Unlike a Black Widow spider. Which eats its mate afterward. This particular spider also can live for 3 years. Gawd, im drunk. Thinking about nature now. Have a good Christmas and New years all you excellent readers.
