About Deuterium-Deuterium Fusion

Deuterium-Deuterium Fusion is a Terra Invicta technology in Energy with a research cost of 75,000.

We take the first step towards using the energy of suns to meet our escalating power needs.

With just the naked eye (presuming we are far enough away from artificial light sources), we can glimpse millions of stars, burning in far distant galaxies. Their enduring fire is the end-product of multiple fusion reactions deep within their rolling mass of plasma. For decades, science has sought the key that would unlock this boundless energy source, and enable us to replicate it within a lab. But until now, we have been unable to contain the extreme temperatures and pressures required to safely generate and sustain man-made stars. Now, however, our engineers have achieved the previously impossible - a reactor that can hold the power of a protostar, kept in check by a combination of superconducting magnets and experimental nanomaterials. A protostar's power stems from its capability to fuse two deuterium atoms - or burning deuterium - to helium3. While the young star uses its mass and gravity to reach the necessary extreme conditions for such a process, our reactors press the fuel together using magnetic and electric fields, as well as lasers. With the power of a tiny sun burning in the heart of our every spaceship and habitat, we will be able to reach and colonize the farthest reaches of our solar system.
