Time passed quietly.
Under Tom's full-throttle construction and the entire industrial system's full-throttle production, millions of Deuterium-Deuterium fusion power stations rapidly appeared on various planets, replacing the original Deuterium-Tritium fusion power stations and beginning to supply power to the entire industrial and research system.
A single Deuterium-Deuterium fusion power station can only produce a few hundred kilograms of helium-3 per day, which seems insignificant, but it doesn't matter—their numbers are sufficient!
In the Pegasus V342 star system, in the smallest gas giant, a massive flight formation of millions of Jupiter aircraft flew day and night in the harsh environment, separating massive amounts of deuterium from the gas giant's atmosphere, then gathering them onto the Black Bird platform.
