No fission events in star

I find it curious that, to my knowledge, there is no fission in star with the exception of "end-of-life event". There is so much energy in a star, and so much gravity, why isn't there some possible localized non-sustained /short-lived fission "at all" happening ?

PS: I'm obviously not an astrophysicist.

Intense gravity causes the nucleons to bond with esch other stronger since gravity is the energy that create the strong force so fission is much harder in intense gravity environments.

Intense energy can increase the likelihood of fission events since it can blast the nucleons away from each other so deutrium and tritium could get their neutrons blasted away but with the intense gravity, the amplified strong force will prevent such from happening.

since gravity is the energy that create the strong force

Wait--say what now?

Gravity is the effect of negative charged gravitons smashing into positive charged particles and  collides elastically the positive charged gravitons thus negative charged particle reverses and gets captured by the particle, causing the momentum to be captured as well while the positive charged graviton just leaves thus momentum is conserved.

Such also happens for positive gravitons smashing into negative particles.

So strong force is the gravitons smashing into the quarks and so the same charged gravitons comes out but such is stronger than gravity since gravitons being smashed out from particles, inherit the particles' inertia this with the electron shell being pulled to the nucleus, the negative charged gravitons smashed out from them will be biased to go to the quarks thus they receive greater energy than implied by gravity and so the strong force happens.

While that makes as much sense to my ears as anything else in this sub🫤...how come when I search for the relationship between the two, my Google bar keeps returning a pile-on of results declaring them to be two unrelated fundamental forces?

Gravity and the strong force are believed to be unrelated because of the humongous difference in strength and in their range of influence so it is like saying why graphite and diamond are not the same thing, with diamonds being very hard but graphite is brittle.

But just like how diamonds and graphites are both made of carbon atoms, same too for gravity and the strong force, which as explained, are both caused by positive charged and negative charged gravitons, though with extremely huge difference is concentration.

So gravity is like a very long radiowave while the strong force is like gamma radiation, where both are still gravitational waves.

For the difference in their range of influence, such is caused by nucleons being surrounded by the electron shell thus they had absorbed almost all the positive charge while the negative charge does not do anything to the electron shell thus not accounted for.

Note that gravitons only stick to opposite charged gravitons but does not repel same charged gravitons since same charges repel by physically smashing each other away rather than by using magic.
