Large domestic game companies invest in domestic private nuclear fusion, and the project still has to build artificial suns, which sounds outrageous.
In addition to Tencent and Netease, there is now Mihayou, a well-known domestic game company, which launched a game called "Genshin" a few years ago, which can be said to have swept the overseas market in two or three years, and the popularity abroad is higher than that at home.
Recently, Mihayou Company's investment in private nuclear fusion has been on the hot search, and the melon-eating masses who don't play games are shocked: Do you still need to make the sun to make games?
In fact, this kind of cross-bank investment, with Tencent in front, is actually not an exaggeration, but on the other hand, the term "private nuclear fusion" is also very attractive.
According to our ordinary people's views, the industry of private research nuclear fusion should be what Europe and the United States like to do, but I didn't expect that there were also private enterprises in the mainland studying controllable nuclear fusion, and now with Mihayou making money from abroad and returning to invest, maybe there will really be a breakthrough?
Next, let's walk into this article and explore the deep-seated causes and phenomena behind Mihayou's investment in private nuclear fusion.
What are the advantages and significance of game companies investing in private nuclear fusion?
First of all, it seems very unreliable that a game company invests in an industry that seems unrelated instead of investing in an industry that seems unrelated.
But in fact, Mihayou knows very well in his heart that this trick is a big deal that will not lose money, what kind of industry, what game company, as long as it can seize the wind of the development of the times and make money, it is a good deal.
Isn't there a saying called, "Black cat white cat, those who can catch mice are good cats", Mihayou's behavior is the perfect embodiment of this sentence.
Therefore, from the perspective of commercial value, Mihayou, as a game company, invests in private nuclear fusion, which is actually very strategic.
Let's first take a look at the company invested by Mihayou, a private nuclear fusion energy facility construction company - Energy Singularity.
The company dedicated to developing commercializable fusion energy technology, nuclear fusion energy, sounds very lofty, and it is.
This is a new energy technology with high hopes, and fusion energy has the advantage of not producing harmful radioactive materials compared to traditional nuclear energy, so it is safer.
In addition, its energy density is higher than that of conventional nuclear energy.
However, this safe, clean and energy-rich new energy technology is still in the development stage, not yet perfect, and needs to overcome many scientific and technological problems.
The Energy Singularity Company has been engaged in this research, and people have really done a good job and achieved some breakthrough results.
As a domestic game giant, Mihayou naturally sees the huge development prospects of this company, so it will choose to invest to provide more financial support for this company to help it accelerate the research and development of nuclear fusion energy technology and commercialization.
This incident is also a good thing for Mihayou himself, after all, Mihayou has been seeking "diversified development opportunities" for a long time, and this investment is undoubtedly part of its diversification strategy.
It not only demonstrates Mihayou's forward-looking decision-making, but also its keen observation of future technology trends.
It can be said that this commercial investment is a good thing for both Mihayou and Energy Singularity.
Comparison of private nuclear fusion in China and abroad
After talking about the private nuclear fusion invested by Mihayou, I believe that many people may have heard of this new energy source for the first time.
The technology, known as the "artificial sun," is the most powerful of all known forms of energy, 400-500 times more energy than the maximum power burned by natural gas, oil and coal.
It can be seen that in today's global energy emergency, who can master the research and development technology of this new energy first, who can master the continuous power support in the future.
Although the research on this technology has continued for more than half a century, until now, this new energy technology has not been fully developed.
This matter is actually a good thing for our country, after all, everyone stands on the same starting line, who can reach the finish line first, the fight is their own strength.
There is a fusion industry association in the United States, which has 37 full members, and the association has said that there are many technical routes for the development of nuclear fusion, and the association has been pursuing different technical solutions to solve problems.
This can also greatly increase the likelihood of technological success.
In order to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, two methods are generally used: inertial confinement and magnetic field confinement.
Most of the magnetic field confinement uses tokamak devices, which are very large in scale and require huge investments, so they are mostly public or government projects, and in general, private fusion companies mostly use the technical method of "inertial confinement".
At present, there is only one tokamak device in the world that can achieve fusion reactions, and this device is the European Union Ring in Oxfordshire, England.
However, this device is also quite old, it has been in use since 1983, and it has a history of 40 years.
In 2021, the European Union Ring completed a major breakthrough, producing 59 megajoules of energy output in 5 seconds, breaking the previous record of 21.7 megajoules.
However, the progress that followed this breakthrough was once again stuck in a slow process. From a single experiment to the practical application of fusion energy, there is still a long way to go.
With the deepening of nuclear fusion energy research, scientists have also innovated in nuclear fusion devices.
Instead of the traditional tokamak device, a spherical reactor was replaced by a smaller reactor with less plasma heating power when operating.
This improvement is also seen as paving the way for future commercial fusion stations.
Another innovative technology to promote the commercialization of nuclear fusion is superconducting magnets, which operate in the operating temperature range of minus 250-200 degrees Celsius, extremely low temperatures, which can also greatly reduce the reaction cost of nuclear fusion.
All in all, in short, before the technology is not perfect and mature, any huge capital investment is in the water, no one knows which direction is right, what can be done is to try several directions under the premise of minimizing costs.
Not only the nuclear fusion devices of the United Kingdom and the United States are constantly being updated, but at the same time, around the world, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and other countries have also begun to make strategic plans in the field of nuclear fusion.
In April this year, the continent had a fully superconducting Totokmak experimental device, known as the "artificial sun", setting a new world record.
In 2017, China also unveiled a fusion engineering experimental reactor larger than the European Union Ring, with plans to build it by 2035.
Although the current technology of nuclear fusion is not perfect, I believe that in the near future, we will be able to overcome difficulties and solve this problem.
From Mihayou's cross-bank investment in private nuclear fusion enterprises, it can also be seen that mainland enterprises are keen on new energy technologies, and I believe that in the future nuclear fusion power competition, the mainland will definitely achieve outstanding results in the world!
