The tech reactor is an add-on structure in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. It is available in campaign-mode only.
Game Structure
The add-on is acquired in Hyperion's lab in story mode for 25 protoss research points and at the cost of the barracks being being able to drop trained infantry anywhere on the map. The tech reactor merges the functionality of the tech lab and reactor into one add-on.[1] This allows two of any unit to be built at once.

Acquisition
Combines the tech lab and reactor into one add-on.[1]
Protoss plasma shields have finally given us the ability to fit the tech lab and the reactor into a single structure add-on. This new add-on, known as the tech reactor, replaces the old tech lab and reactor add-ons, and allows us to train two of any unit type simultaneously.

Building Upgrades
All structures repair themselves to 50% life. All structure fires are automatically put out.
This all-in-one safety system automatically dispatches robotic drones to put out any fires and perform basic repairs on damaged structures. Although these drones are effective at doing basic repairs, they do not have a strong enough AI to perform the more delicate repairs needed to restore a structure past half life.[2]
