There were still many details to iron out regarding the laser ignition system, and Jason and Professor Hao Yu were studying the problem with great interest.
"Our plan is to fire an ultra-powerful laser pulse into the Tetrahydrogen Nuclear Bomb," Professor Hao Yu explained. "Inside the warhead, a specialized prism will split this single pulse into over a hundred slightly weaker, but still incredibly intense, laser beams."
These hundred-plus beams, each carrying immense energy, would simultaneously strike tiny hydrogen spheres, each just one millimeter in diameter. In an instant, these spheres would be superheated to over one hundred million degrees Celsius. This would cause them to explode, simultaneously detonating the entire outer ring of standard nuclear bombs.
Then, the explosion of that outer ring would crush inward, detonating the innermost hydrogen core!
