Gallic propulsion

[Ingenious]

Exploring the science, there is only one logical conclusion I can come to regarding Gallic Oil.

I put it to you that it is not the Carbon in the Oil that is being used by Gallic ships, just as it is not the Oxygen inside Heavy Water that might be used in fusion reactors.

Wherever you have hydrogen in a compound - you could potentially have Deuterium instead.

When Deuterium replaces hydrogen in water (H20) - you have Heavy Water.

Now when Deuterium replaces hydrogen, in a hydrocarbon - you have Heavy Oil.

I put it to you guys that companies like EFL 'crack' their Heavy Oil, and the ships actually run on Deuterium.

You can argue that water-based sources of Deuterium (like found on Gran Canaria) are rare - because the Dom Kovash depleted them in the early history of their civilisation.

Excellent. It belongs in an infocard.

I enjoyed that. Thank you.

Essentially, oil has been refined into a fissionable material. Gallic engines are no different to Sirius engines in principle; they're still reactors that use fission and fusion to attain energy. It's the materials and composition that make them different. Everything has been altered to make the oil stable in the nuclear process.
