That's basically a large, doughnut shaped ring wrapped in electromagnetic coils. Now, stage three, that's where the real miracle happens: The energy produced by the panels is then used to power our fusion reactor.
Those alone could produce enough electricity for the entire province. Stage two: The beam enters the ground station through the large shaft on top, which is lined with solar panels all the way down to the core. Stage one: The ESA folks activate 'Comas Solá', the first Solaris satellite that is already placed in orbit, and use its collector mirrors to focus a sharp beam of highly concentrated sunlight directly onto our facility. Menendez pushes that symbolical button, we in the control centre and our colleagues over in French Guiana receive the green-light to initiate a three-stage-process. He gave me a brief explanation of how it works earlier today: Professor Herbert Lasche from the university of Munich is one of the senior advisors of the Solaris project.
Deep down, in the shielded underground centre of this imposing structure lies the heart of the entire complex: The solar-fusion reactor. Several hundred kilometres worth of road infrastructure and an even greater length of high-capacity power lines have been laid out around the facility, which consists of more than twenty individual buildings that contain control stations, research laboratories, offices and staff quarters. Dubbed 'Ciudad del Sol', City of the Sun, by the locals, the Granada power station is a marvel of modern engineering.
