Accomplished

Lawrence Labs, part of the Star Alliance Country Nuclear Security Agency, houses the world's largest laser confinement fusion device— the National Ignition Facility.

The device took nine years and cost $3.6 billion to build, and it was publicly stated that it was designed to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

In reality, the device has been developing a new type of hydrogen bomb that is not restricted by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

Therefore, never have any expectations of the Star Alliance Country; that's the cancer of civilization.

At this moment, Lu Li's mind had already expanded, completely invading this giant laboratory covering 8,000 acres.

If it's related to nuclear weapons, the level of secrecy is definitely the highest.

The laboratory was not connected to the internet at all, and the laboratory's main control computer and the "National Ignition Facility" were also without power.

Both responsible persons must be present to connect the power supply.

However, Lu Li's "divine sense" completely ignored all obstacles and directly penetrated into the laboratory's "power control panel," closing two switches through the locked steel gate.

With the sound of the turbine spinning, power was instantly restored to the laboratory, and the indicator lights on the various instruments lit up one after another, but a piercing alarm also sounded!

It was 8 p. m., and there was only a small amount of security in the laboratory.

"Intruder!"

A group of people rushed to the "power control panel," but they not only found no intruders, they also couldn't cut off the power.

The "main power control" is protected by a half-meter-thick steel gate that can only be opened by two responsible persons entering the password simultaneously; a group of security guards naturally do not have the authority.

A few seconds later, the "main control computer" turned on by itself and entered the password input interface.

Lu Li didn't know the password, nor did he need one.

Lu Li used his divine sense to penetrate the encrypted hard drive, directly reading and copying data from the magnetic disk, and instantly knew everything he wanted.

Fusion parameters related to temperature, density, and pressure, and all data related to the Artificial Sun, were instantly copied into consciousness.

These data, obtained by a superpower through decades of immense human and material resources, are priceless treasures.

Lu Li wanted to figure it out himself, it would have taken him several years. This time, he knew it clearly in just a few seconds, saving him countless hours of hard work.

Furthermore, the hard drive contains data on controlled nuclear fusion from other countries, such as the EAST Superconducting Tokamak) from the Xia Country.

This was clearly stolen through espionage, Lu Li accepted it without hesitation, using it as part of his accumulation.

However, written data alone is not enough; a field test is also necessary.

This "National Ignition Facility" can effectively fill the gap.

Lu Li naturally didn't stand on ceremony. With a thought, he immediately took over all the connections associated with the "main control computer".

The computer remained stuck at the password input screen and, without even entering the system, began issuing a series of commands, activating the "National Ignition Facility."

The security guards suddenly noticed that a glaring red light had suddenly lit up on the main door of the "target room" where the device was located, and the laser transmission system had also started to supply power.

"What's going on! The device has been activated?"

The group was panicked and at a loss, and could only desperately call the person in charge.

Meanwhile, a robotic arm has placed a "deuterium-tritium target pellet" into the target chamber.

Before long, the laser transmission system was ready and emitted a beam of light.

After being amplified by a power amplifier and a reflector, the energy surges to 4 million joules and is focused onto the target pellet.

This resulted in temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius and pressures exceeding 100 billion atmospheres, making a fusion reaction a natural occurrence.

But it's not nearly as amazing as the Star Alliance Country claims; it can't even cover the electricity costs for the lasers.

Lu Li didn't care about that; he just wanted a practical reference.

Now that our wish has been fulfilled and there are no more doubts, it's time to ignite our own "Artificial Sun".

Lu Li withdrew his divine sense and prepared to begin.

The person in charge of the laboratory arrived hastily 20 minutes later.

Seeing that they hadn't suffered any real losses, the group thought about suppressing the matter, unaware that a magnificent catastrophe was about to unfold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten thousand meters above the ground, the city lights below shone brilliantly, like a sky full of stars.

After quickly reviewing the knowledge he had acquired, Lu Li began to calculate:

"No matter how much mental effort you exert, you can never reach the temperature and pressure of a star's core."

"I can also use lasers; I'll use this for ignition next."

"Once nuclear fusion occurs, we can then adjust our Mind Power to control the reaction intensity and achieve a stable state."

After reviewing the plan and finding no oversights, Lu Li immediately began operating within the spiritual realm.

The first step, however, was to bring out the two "W88 nuclear warhead" that had been captured earlier.

A single thought caused it to completely disintegrate, and the nuclear material inside was extracted, two of which had a total yield of one megaton.

Lu Li intends to use this as a catalyst and to adjust the consumption during the adaptation phase, thereby reducing the burden and increasing the success rate.

With the nuclear fuel ready, Lu Li then used his divine sense to create a giant eyeball-like crystal for emitting lasers.

Finally, using divine thought to activate Dark Matter, a golden sphere with a diameter of 10 meters was condensed, encompassing both the nuclear material and the eyeball, thus completing the preliminary preparations.

Without hesitation, Lu Li immediately ordered his eyeballs to fire lasers, which then struck the nuclear fuel.

The temperature in the confined space suddenly surged, creating immense pressure at the same time.

Without the need for mental compression, the high temperature and high pressure conditions required for fusion were achieved, and a nuclear fireball was generated!

With a thought, Lu Li activated the golden sphere of Dark Matter condensed by his divine sense, which rapidly expanded while enveloping the nuclear fireball.

The intensity of the fusion reaction is reduced by increasing the volume to lower the pressure.

When the sphere expands to a diameter of 1 kilometer, the temperature of the nuclear fireball drops rapidly, and the pressure inside the sphere is insufficient to sustain the fusion reaction.

Seeing the firelight dimming, Lu Li quickly manipulated the golden sphere to shrink and apply pressure.

The atomic nuclei collided and coalesced violently, and the fusion reaction began again.

Lu Li kept adjusting, searching for a balance point that could maintain the fusion reaction without causing it to explode completely.

This requires the intensity of Mind Power to be just right to counteract the burst of the fusion reaction.

This principle of confining thermonuclear reactions within a finite volume and releasing energy in a controlled manner is precisely the principle of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion.

The information gathered was very detailed, and Lu Li was also very skilled at this kind of exquisite manipulation, constantly pulling against the nuclear fireball.

Five minutes later, the optimal reaction intensity was found.

"32% combustion efficiency!"

This is a fusion intensity that allows our own Artificial Sun to exist stably and sustain combustion.

This will definitely change as my cultivation level increases; it is what it is now.

With a thought, Lu Li began to pour an overwhelming amount of divine thought into the Artificial Sun.

These divine thoughts will become like the subconscious mind of the human body, allowing the Artificial Sun to operate on its own like a heart.

However, the effort required to contain a "nuclear fireball" with a diameter of 2 kilometers and a core temperature of hundreds of millions of tons is enormous.

Lu Li was struggling, just like an ordinary person carrying a bucket of water.

This situation necessitates further reducing the power of the Artificial Sun, but this would also reduce combat effectiveness.

Lu Li was naturally unwilling, so he quickly ordered the cells to unleash their "Indestructible Will" and infuse it into him.

This indestructible and extremely heat-resistant biofield is perfectly suited to serve as the "furnace body" of Fusion Reactor.

As the Indestructible Will continued to pour in, the originally fiery red Artificial Sun was wrapped in a layer of golden radiance, just like the "corona" of the real sun, inspiring awe!

Lu Li also felt relieved, as he could easily maintain the Artificial Sun, feeling as if he were carrying a 5-kilogram weight like an ordinary person.

The divine sense spontaneously adjusted, drawing matter from the spiritual realm to fill it in. The Artificial Sun, red and golden, was ready to provide its master with vast energy at any time!

Lu Li breathed a long sigh of relief; with that, it was a success.

The halo that appeared behind his head had become a "great sun".

Adorned with a "corona," radiating golden light, it was completely different from Liu Shu's red!
