The end of the coast is Tieling, the end of the meta-world is under the sea

The end of the world is Thieling, and the end of the Internet is the meta-world.

The meta world is on fire

The concept of "meta-advantage" was incorporated into this year's report, and market prices rose, and technology and capital exploded. Then 'Meta Universe' ideas and articles quickly spread through various media and became the hot topic of the year. However, a lot of people start to gibberish without knowing what the meta world is.

In fact, the metaverse itself isn't a new word, but the concept of the metaverse originated from the 1992 bestseller “Avalanche”.A book about the real world, in the real world, the actor is the younger brother delivering food, and when he gets to the virtual world he becomes a superhero. , this virtual world is the meta-world.

We all have an idea of ​​our strength and how easy it is to live. We control all the protagonists. This wonder is the "meta-benefit" that our brain is stuffed with.

In the real world, it's a digital world, a virtual world.

However, over the past 2 to 30 years the meta world has been a word of skepticism, few people know it, and it hasn't received much attention in the market. Why is he so popular this year?

This has also been done with the popularity of VR / AR technology over the past few years. Rapid advancements in cloud computing, chips, 5G, and advanced technologies have also fueled the resurgence of the concept of meta-space.Understanding of meta-knowledge of the world has been advancing in recent years.

Therefore, the metaverse is based on cutting edge technology and is inextricably linked with computer and CT technology.

This is how technology advances: the person who has an idea early is crazy, and the person who seizes the time and presents it is an intelligent person.

In other words, communication includes many technologies such as chip technology, network communication technology, reality technology (VR / AR / MR / XR), game technology (game engine, code , multimedia resources), AI artificial intelligence technology, blockchain technology. . This includes.

You can enter the virtual world with the help of a set of advanced equipment combining technology and detection tools. Mindfulness also thinks, but the body is still in the real world.

In this virtual world, you can create, enjoy, view, chat, market and work. A lot of things that cannot be accomplished in the real world can be accomplished in the digital world.

The heart of the meta-world, data center

However, in order to support the functioning of the Global Meta,You need a very powerful calculator and algorithms.

And what is the basis of counting functions and algorithms? It's a data center! (Above IDC)

The development of the Internet has brought people directly into the age of data cracking. Big data has changed everything from traditional industry to scientific research and everyday life.

With the rise of the Internet, especially mobile Internet, data centers have also become a very popular concept. Whether it's the communications industry, the financial industry, the computer industry, or government buildings, four word centers are everywhere.

Satan has always said that our world will soon pass from the computer age to the DT age, but DT really means the world of information.

The entry into the DT era is inextricably linked with the most popular data.

By the end of 2020, the total size of used data space racks in Korea has reached 3.15 million, and in the next five years, it is planned to build more than 180 data storage devices with an average annual growth rate. Over 30% in the past five years. We are maintaining steady growth. It is estimated that by 2021, the total size of data space racks used in our country will reach 5.87 million, and the size of large data racks will exceed 4.5 million.

Human work is always about creating information, your working environment is information, physical transformation is information, your words are information, and all your movements can be counted accordingly as data.

Previously, the affected data was in the past, but now this data can be stored in real-time data.

For example, data transfers generated by payments and modern mobile apps can be stored in real time in the data center. In one year, the data exchange has created a lot of data, and the statistics of this data allow us to identify and specify the diet, time of consumption, group consumption.

A prerequisite for this statistical analysis is the constitution of an archive of personal information.

One is the reality of the meta world, to achieve the highest level of simulation and communication of the virtual and real world, and even become the end of the Internet and technology production. ,Reliability depends on the size of the data processing and retention, and archives are surprisingly at the heart of the word accuracy meta-world.

While roads, buildings, and bridges are the infrastructure for the real world, data centers are the infrastructure for the virtual world of the metaverse.

Without power and without centers, the meta-world is just a myth.

Big Blue Ocean in Science and Technology, Underwater Data Center

To do this, the Meta Universe must have an energy benchmark associated with guarantees of power and security.

However, for the centers, the use of electricity is still a major issue, particularly in terms of carbon neutrality.

Percentage of electricity consumption by industry, large consumers, iron 8%, non-ferrous metals 8%, chemicals 6%, textiles 2%, rubber and plastic 2%, less important materials,By 2021, electricity consumption will represent 3% of total human energy consumption!It is essential electrical equipment.

In the centers, there is an indicator that measures electricity consumption and emissions, which is called PUE. greater efficiency.

Currently, there are two floor storage systems: air conditioning and water cooling.The PUE is 1.55 and 1.35 respectively.

On July 14 of this year, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Electricity announced the “Three-year action plan for the development of a new data center (2021-2023)”. all of the information,We will strive to reduce the storage PUE on large scale constructions to 1.3 or less, and to 1.25 or less in the temperate zone.

But what is the truth? By 2019,The average PUE of the new repositories is between 1.3 and 1.4, and the maximum limit of the PUE of the data repositories is 1.6, but currently the average home PUE is 2.2.

In other words,Currently, no ground data can reach the scale below PUE1.3!

Even if you push the data center to the bottom of Lake Qiandao like Ali, in fact, the cold water is not good, because the area is not enough, and the water flow is not enough, so the water is not cold enough. limit. At the same time, liquid cooling of real land requires sufficient coolant.PUE of 1.3 or higher with similar material..

However, there appears to be a solution as the Ministry of Industry and Communications has set a target of reducing the PUE to 1.3 or less.

The best way is to participateUnderwater data center.

Simply put, it uses electrospinning equipment originally designed for submarines to generate spatial data under the ocean, and the warm water from the seabed is used to dissipate thermal data.

In 2014, Microsoft began researching the potential for underwater storage. Experiments with data from underwater data centers over the past few years have shown that it is more profitable than land.

Energy and resources can be saved efficiently by exchanging heat with the ocean and dissipating heat from the IT department.Therefore, the PUE value of the underwater data center can be controlled below 1.1, which is infinitely close to the theoretical value of 1, and it can meet the power demand of 1.3 again. or less.

Second, the failure rate is minimal.Electronic devices are not suitable for operation in the human environment. Oxygen and humidity in the air are bad for electrical devices. This can corrode the environment and possibly cause the server to malfunction.

Having an underwater database can create a stable environment.The failure rate is only 1/8 the failure of the range.

In 2020, Microsoft closed the submersible rescue,Even after being submerged on the coast for four years, there have been no failures.

In the same way,Construction time is 90 days, but total land data center construction time is approximately 400 days.As a result, the construction and maintenance costs are very low.

In addition,Coastal location data can reduce land costs., the cabinet occupies an area of ​​4 square meters. For large internet companies like Ali Tencent, which has hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of shelves, renting under the sea can be several times cheaper than renting. inches of land in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

A person previously viewed as a shelf, one year of operating costs, the seabed save 12,408 yuan compared to the land-based data center. For example, Baosight Software has 180,000 meters, all of which have been replaced by underwater data centers, which could save $ 2.23 billion in annual costs. As you know, Baoxin's annual revenue was only 1.2 billion won last year.

It is not easy to understand.Underwater data develops in two ways: the meta-earth and carbon medium, the meta-earth core, and the high-carbon medium.

At the same time, the underwater data center project was included as a key project in the "14th Five-Year Industrial Development Plan in Hainan (2021-2025)" and the 145th "Shandong Province" - "City digital. Development Plan, "" Xiamen "14th Five-Year Maritime Economic Development Plan," "14th Five-Year Plan for Guangdong Maritime Economic Development."

By 2022, the size of the data center business in Korea is expected to exceed 320 billion yuan and enter the new fashion era. Despite the absence of meta-globalization, in the age of big data the demand for data centers will inevitably increase, and as data increases, the demand for infrastructure will always increase.

Combined with the advantages such as high speed and green energy savings of underwater data centers, it perfectly meets the demands of carbon and energy management, power consumption and the energy market. space.

Currently, there are only two companies in the world that can market underwater data centers: USA and Microsoft. The other is in China.
