For starters, my solution uses all six reactors available. The massive pipeline is because things keep getting so backed up, that the whole assembly stalls, so I had to extend them enough to keep the molecules flowing long enough to finish the level. If more than 40 molecules of phosphoric acid were required, the assembly would fail (stall) and the pipes would need to be extended further, which is clearly next to impossible at this point. Not surprisingly, this monstrosity takes up quite a few cycles, 20,179 to be specific! In fact, on the graph, it blows far past every other result that has been submitted. Surprisingly however, while it has quite a lot, this assembly-line does not break the record for most symbols.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\tdiv.image_map\t\t\t{display:block; position:relative; margin:2px auto 2px auto; width:1024px; height:768px;}\n\tarea.LINK1\t{left:032px; top:094px;}\n\tarea.LINK2\t{left:353px; top:065px;}\n\tarea.LINK3\t{left:576px; top:121px;}\n\tarea.LINK4\t{left:578px; top:261px;}\n\tarea.LINK5\t{left:800px; top:261px;}\n\tarea.LINK6\t{left:578px; top:486px;}\n\tarea.LINK1, area.LINK2, area.LINK3, area.LINK4, area.LINK5, area.LINK6 {display:block; width:128px; height:0; padding-top:128px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; background:transparent;}\n\tarea.LINK1:hover, area.LINK2:hover, area.LINK3:hover, area.LINK4:hover, area.LINK5:hover, area.LINK6:hover {border:3px dashed red; background:url(synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Left-Hand.png);}\n<\/style>\n<div style=\"text-align:center; width:1024px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" class=\"image_map\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Applied_Fusion_Overview\" usemap=\"Applied_Fusion_Map\" border=\"0\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Assembly-line for \u201cApplied Fusion\u201d\" src=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Overview.png\" \/><\/p>\n<map id=\"Applied_Fusion_Map\" name=\"Applied_Fusion_Map\">\n<area class=\"LINK1\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"032,094,160,222\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_1.png\" alt=\"Reactor 1\" title=\"Reactor one smashes water (H2O) molecules into its constituent parts and feeds them to separate H and O pipes.\" \/>\n<area class=\"LINK2\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"353,066,481,194\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_2.png\" alt=\"Reactor 2\" title=\"Reactor two simply distributes hydrogen atoms to two other reactors in a 3:1 ratio.\" \/>\n<area class=\"LINK3\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"576,122,704,374\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_3.png\" alt=\"Reactor 3\" title=\"Reactor three fuses one oxygen atom with seven hydrogens to make a phosphorus and dumps three oxygens out to the other pipe.\" \/>\n<area class=\"LINK4\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"578,262,706,390\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_4.png\" alt=\"Reactor 4\" title=\"Reactor four bonds a hydrogen and an oxygen to make a hydroxyl radical and dumps an extra oxygen to the other pipe.\" \/>\n<area class=\"LINK5\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"800,263,928,391\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_5.png\" alt=\"Reactor 5\" title=\"Reactor five bonds three hydroxyls to a phosphors in a pinwheel pattern.\" \/>\n<area class=\"LINK6\" shape=\"rect\" coords=\"578,487,706,615\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_Reactor_6.png\" alt=\"Reactor 6\" title=\"Reactor six merely bonds an oxygen atom to an H3PO3 to form a phosphoric acid molecule.\" \/>\n\t<\/map>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_End.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/glab\/files\/2011\/10\/Applied-Fusion_End-300x225.png\" alt=\"Applied Fusion_End\" title=\"Most of the pipes are filled up just before the last phosphoric acid molecule is output.
