I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 507 - 468: Nuclear Fusion Reactor, Ignite!_2
"It could be said that…" Lynn nodded noncommittally and then began to explain again.

"You all must have witnessed my new magic, 'Sky Vaulting.' It contains extremely powerful energy but lacks guidance and can't be used effectively; it can only crudely release this energy. The purpose of this experiment is to control and utilize that energy!"
"In fact, the reason a star can continue to shine is the same principle, so what we need to do is replicate the operating principles of the sun…"
"This… is really…" Tic was so shocked he didn't know what to say.
He hadn't expected the kingdom's rumors to be true!
Although this Wizard Star couldn't bring down a celestial star, he had indeed caused a small sun to explode on the ground, no wonder it had such terrifying destructive power!
Now they were even preparing to create a magical sun underground!
The wizards present also wore expressions of horror. They had all witnessed the power of 'Sky Vaulting,' which had destroyed an area of several kilometers in an instant. Controlling and utilizing such enormous energy—could this really be done?
They were even more worried that if the experiment failed, the unleashed power could destroy the entire city!
Lynn was naturally aware of the dangers, but the council had been preparing for nearly three months, making all preparations possible. How could they possibly stop now because of some potential risks?
Even if he was willing to stop, Vittorio and others would not want to. After all, the fusion reactor was crucial for the legendary ascension rites!
"Let's begin!" Lynn took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
Tic and others, both worried and excited, returned to their stations. Vittorio had already assigned them their tasks; the 'ignition' of nuclear fusion required the assistance of a large number of wizards.
Of course, once ignited successfully, the device would operate on its own.
Harrov, Vittorio, and Aurora also stood at three positions around the 'altar.'
"Vacuum Domain!" Vittorio stretched out his hand, and a multitude of runes situated at the bottom of the reactor and within the mithril circle began to light up one by one. All elements within a roughly 300-meter diameter area were completely stripped away, creating a vacuum zone.
Then, under the control of the 'Mage's Hand' cast by hundreds of wizards, massive amounts of deuterium and tritium fuel were introduced. A portion was in liquid form, forming a small orb suspended at the center of the reactor, while other parts of the deuterium and tritium were in gaseous form, dispersed inside the mithril circle.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze turned to Lynn. It was now the most crucial moment!
"Ignite!" Lynn spoke slowly.
Intense and blinding laser beams immediately shot out from the circle, targeting the liquid heavy water suspended at the center of the reactor.
These were lasers operating at the maximum power of the fifth energy level!
The many magic stones powering them crumbled one after another as the area where the lasers converged rapidly heated up!
10,000 degrees, 50,000 degrees, 100,000 degrees, one million degrees, ten million degrees...
In just two or three seconds, the internal temperature had already exceeded the threshold. The deuterium and tritium elements, under such terrifyingly high temperatures, had long since turned into fierce plasma states and were then tightly confined by a strong magnetic field to an even smaller area.
High temperature and high pressure are the most important factors in causing fusion...
Very quickly, perhaps in an instant, a light brighter than the laser beams flashed at the center of the reactor, instantly illuminating the entire underground space!
Even though Lynn and the others had already set up protective magic and prepared to face the bright light, they still couldn't help but squint.
The temperature in the entire underground space was also rising sharply, quickly reaching a level intolerable to ordinary people, and that was just the minor energy leakage under the strong magnetic confinement!
Endless firelight instantly broke through the powerful magnetic field's confinement, gushing out from the core of the reactor... There was no oxygen in the vacuum domain, yet the flames continued to burn, for this was Plasma State fire, energy transformed from matter!
The Mithril rings surrounding the area melted within a tenth of a second, and the entire space seemed to be boiling.
We're going to die... we're going to die... we're going to die!
Tic was suddenly overwhelmed by a ghostly terror, the biological instinct of death warning occupying his entire mind, his face full of horror, and in this underground space, they had no chance to escape!
Just as the flames roared and were about to exceed the reactor's limit, they suddenly entered a vortex-like flow, continuously spinning and spiraling upwards, eventually forming a giant fire tornado several hundred meters in diameter, spectacularly magnificent...
It was only then that Tic noticed the Mithril rings had melted, but the alchemy runes on them still floated in the void, forming a unique protective circle, directing the movement of the flames.
All the Alchemists' hands and feet were trembling slightly, their backs drenched in sweat.
"Is it Force Field Magic?" Lynn turned to Vittorio, noticing some clues.
"Right, it's good we had a double safety measure, but I didn't expect the power released in a moment of fusion to break my magnetic field," Vittorio said, his heart also racing. If this thing were to burst, they had no assurance they could stop it!
While speaking, Vittorio changed several hand seals and increased the power of the magnetic field confinement, the huge fire tornado slowly disappeared, revealing an even more spectacular sight before the crowd!
The interior of the reactor was a constantly surging, spinning Plasma Sphere, emitting vast light and heat at all times...
It was like a ... Sun constrained!
All the Wizards present were mesmerized by the spectacle, and Tic exclaimed, "If we tell anyone that we've trapped a sun in the underground of Fire Oil City, certainly no one would believe it!"
"This is absolutely the greatest monument in the history of magic!" one of the Alchemists also said excitedly.
Harrov stared at the constantly shining fusion pile in front of him as if it were a star, and suddenly thought of something.
No wonder when he was in the cosmos within, meeting with those legends from the Secret Magic Society, he felt like he was facing a constant star.
It turns out they had already revealed to him the path to becoming a legend, only today did he fully realize it!
Among all present, Vittorio was the most excited, having exhausted much effort and several sleepless months sustained by energy potions alone for the construction of this magical fusion reactor.
This masterpiece was completed in less than three months!
Of course, Aurora and Harrov also contributed significantly.
For example, the laser beams emitted from the rings were Aurora's handiwork, and the safeguarding Force Field Magic was Harrov's masterpiece... this nuclear fusion reactor could truly be said to be built with everyone's collective intelligence and power!
Lynn also slightly curved his lips upwards; the establishment of the nuclear fusion reactor also meant that they had initially mastered the power of a galaxy level — the Power of Constant Stars!
Though the energy contained within it was as minute as a speck of dust compared to a real star, the principles behind their existence were undoubtedly the same!
As for how to use the energy from the reactor? Generally, it's done by using it to "boil water" — converting water into steam and then using the steam to generate electricity.
However, with the convenience of magic, such tedious methods were not necessary…
It could directly utilize the photoelectric effect for conversion or magneto-hydrodynamic generation, or even directly use the Plasma itself, as an energy source. Over the past few months, Lynn had also spent his time magifying some of that technology!
