Metaverse is a virtual blockchain technology-based world that combines real-world data and digital assets with a virtual world. The emergence of Metaverse provides new methods and ideas for the physical design of fusion ignition. This paper focuses on the concept, characteristics, and application of meta-universe in the physical design of fusion ignition. This paper firstly introduces the basic principles and challenges of fusion ignition, then details the concepts and technical characteristics of meta-universe, and finally describes the application of meta-universe in Z-FFR (Z-pinch driven fusion-fission hybrid reactor) physical design, including data sharing, virtual simulation, intelligent contracts, and other aspects. In this study, the performance of the device was significantly improved by a meta-universe-driven design. The design cycle was dramatically shortened, the device durability was increased by a factor of 10, 000, and the delay jitter was reduced to 1-2 ns. At the same time, the neutron yield was increased by more than two orders of magnitude in terms of fusion physics. This paper argues that the emergence of meta-universe will further promote the physical design of fusion ignition and improve design efficiency and reliability.
