So helium is a limited resource. Okay gotcha. So why not take two hydrogen atoms. Take their protons and neutrons. And just fucking start squeezing them together until you get helium?
And I don’t mean in the same way you get H2. Those are still separate from each other.
In addition to everything else mentioned, in your scenario, you would also need to pull 2 neutrons from somewhere. A helium nucleus has 2 protons and 2 neutrons, but each H nucleus (generally) is just 1 proton. The 2 neutrons are critical in holding nuclei together.
You need neutrons? I got a guy, I can get you 2 neutrons here in an attosecond
Tell Jimmy Quarks I send the following message:
When you came, you said to me as follows: ‘I will give HeyThisIsntTheYMCA (when he comes) fine quality neutrons.’ You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put neutrons which were not good before my messenger (Pete Two-Slippers) and said: ‘If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!’ What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?
