China has sunk tens of thousands of powerful servers in the South China Sea to create an underwater data center designed to use the ocean to help cool its computer servers. The data center, with the power of 6 million PCs, is the first undersea data center in China. This move comes as China grapples with the demand for more power and the need for new transmission projects to carry clean power from rural areas to big cities. Real-estate executives have launched a startup raising $1.2 billion for big transmission projects, highlighting the need for new power lines.
