    B. I. Zil'ber supposed that any non-locally modular strongly minimal theory is biinterpretable with an algebraically closed field. \textit{E. Hrushovski} [Isr. J. Math. 79, No. 2-3, 129-151 (1992; Zbl 0773.12005)] refuted this conjecture by constructing new strongly minimal sets from pairs of existing strongly minimal sets using the technique of fusion. The author constructs fusions in the cases where the fused strongly minimal sets are vector spaces. The goal is to find a model complete fusion, and this is realized here.
