Nice.

And we have a ton of scientists because the science is critically important too, but they're supported by a huge manufacturing company.

And our goal is to build as fast as possible.

Some of the other things we try to do there, vertically integrate.

And this is, to your point on Elon Musk, like this is one of the things he's focused on at his companies has been, how do you bring it inside the critical things that are gonna drive timelines, the things you can't just go buy as a commodity product and get it here soon, and make sure that you can go build those fast.

And so we've done now a number of key vertical integrated manufacturing lines at Helion.

I think we may be the only fusion company with a conveyor belt

Actually, our second one just came online now where we have so we have literally our production line manufacturing power supplies at Helion so that we can move at maximum velocity rather than finding an external consultant or an external supplier to go do those.

And you can actually, I can point out on this picture, one perfect example of what I'm talking about.

So on the end is a green structure, green fiberglass.

This is called G10.

Actually, ironically, one of the main structural elements we use is this G10 fiberglass material.

It's the same thing that's in PCB boards.

It's the same substrate that's in every circuit board.

And so we know it's strong.

It's good with electricity.

Only we get big pieces of it and machine it.

But even in the end, you can see the bolts halfway through.

There's nine bolts in the middle there.

The standard piece of G10 was not big enough to fit the end of the machine.
