Chapter 204 Investigation
Shanmei.
Haifeng County, Gongping Town.
Several official cars painted with the words "Nandian Group" were parked in a small mountain village in the west of Pinghe Town.
"Manager Song, the location should be nearby." The driver said after parking the car.
The secretary looked at the positioning on the map navigation: "Old Zheng, drive about three hundred meters ahead and you have to turn a corner."
"Okay."
The car moved forward again.
After a few minutes, after turning a corner, the scene blocked by the mountain suddenly became clear.
In a small valley, the flat land and hillsides on both sides of the road have been transformed into dairy farms.
At a glance, this farm has a continuous scene of cow barns, various supporting facilities, and artificial pastures for cows to move around.
The mountains on both sides have also been transformed into four-level terraces. The terraces are planted with genetically modified kapok, and under the kapok trees are lush alfalfa.
The three cars stopped slightly.
The signs on the roadside read the Fairy Town Dairy Breeding Base and the Fairy Town Biofuel Experimental Base.
According to the instructions, the group drove another kilometer before they saw rows of buildings next to the cowshed. One of the buildings had a big red signboard of "Fairness Town Biofuel Experimental Base" on the roof. I know my destination has arrived.
At the door, explain the situation to the security guard.
After a while, Lin Shuya came out with Zhang Guangyu, the person in charge of the experimental base.
"Hello, I am Lin Shuya, technical manager of the Science and Technology Division of Hailufeng Company."
"Hello, I am Wang Shanhe, the general manager of Lingnan Branch of Nandian Group. I am very happy to meet Professor Lin." Wang Shanhe had obviously done his homework before coming and knew that Lin Shuya in front of him was Jiang Miao's wife. He is also a scientist in the field of microbiology and a distinguished professor at Shizishan Agricultural University.
Lin Shuya said calmly and generously: "I already know the purpose of Manager Wang's visit. I happen to have free time recently, so I will introduce the technology to you personally!"
"Then I'll bother Professor Lin." Wang Shanhe remembered something, turned around and pulled another middle-aged man and said: "Professor Lin, this is Dr. Ma Zhiyao, our company's honorary consultant. Dr. Ma is engaged in the field of biogas power generation. For We also have some understanding of microbial power generation technology.”
"Hello, Professor Lin."
"Hello, Dr. Ma."
The group introduced each other and then came inside the base.
The person in charge of the base, Zhang Guangyu, introduced the situation of the base to everyone. He pointed to the building with the "Power Generation Building" hanging on it and said:
"Everyone, this is the microbial fuel cell power generation device currently in use by our company - Xianjie No. 1."
Dr. Ma raised his glasses: "Professor Lin, I have read the paper you published some time ago. Was Xianjie No. 1 developed based on that mutated Erwinia?"
"That's right." Lin Shuya smiled slightly.
The two exchanged academic information for a while.
Wang Shanhe, who was listening to a book from heaven, quickly found an opportunity to interrupt the two of them to continue talking about technology research and development. He said with a smile:
"Professor Lin, why don't we go in and see how the equipment works?"
Lin Shuya reacted immediately and saw that Wang Shanhe and others did not understand the professional terminology, so she quickly nodded: "Okay, Director Zhang, please take us in to have a look!"
"Everyone, please!" Zhang Guangyu led the way.
Several technical staff led by Dr. Ma could only follow the crowd and go in together.
When we arrived at the door of the power generation building, there was a smell of cow dung, but no one said anything.
After passing through the disinfection channel and putting on protective clothing, everyone entered the power generation building. However, they did not directly enter the power generation room that needed to be isolated from the inside and outside. Instead, they came to the control center on the top floor.
Inside the control center, three personnel on duty were looking at the computer screen.
Seeing Zhang Guangyu and others coming in, he quickly stood up with a trace of nervousness on his face.
Zhang Guangyu waved his hand: "You all go back to your posts, I will show Mr. Lin around."
"Okay." Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the monitoring screen and the background data of the respective power control equipment, Wang Shanhe could understand it somewhat. He found a device he knew and asked:
"Director Zhang, can this base generate 350 kilowatts of electricity per day?"
Zhang Guangyu also smiled and nodded: "Yes, our factory currently has 500 microbial fuel cell boxes in use, with a maximum power generation of 175 kilowatts."
Wang Shanhe continued to ask: "500 battery boxes? How big are these microbial fuel cell boxes? How much does it cost?" "The inner tank is one cubic meter. With the outer shell, it will be a little larger. The cost is about 2,000 yuan per battery box. About." Zhang Guangyu didn't tell the truth. In fact, the material cost of the entire battery box is about 850 yuan.
But the person opposite may be a customer, and he will naturally not say that the cost is 850 yuan.
Of course, Wang Shanhe did not believe that a box would be worth 2,000 yuan, but he did not reveal it, but continued to ask with a smile: "I heard that cow dung and straw are used in the battery room of microbial fuel cells. Pig dung and the like are also used. OK?”
"Yes, animal excrement and plants can be used as raw materials for battery fluid."
Dr. Ma, Lin Shuya and others on the side continued to chat about technical matters.
Both sides were talking about their own affairs, and for a while they didn't interfere with each other.
However, after more than two hours of inspection, Wang Shanhe did not give any intention. This is not because he does not understand the benefits and advantages of this technology, but as a state-owned enterprise, this kind of cooperation is not something that he, the general manager of Lingnan Branch, can make the decision on. The decision must be reported to the head office.
He just asked Dr. Ma to take people to stay and continue to improve various materials. Wang Shanhe took people back to the headquarters himself, preparing to explain the situation to the management of the head office.
Regarding this point, even Lin Shuya, who has never managed a company, knows the internal operating model of a state-owned enterprise and will naturally not demand any promises from the other party.
In any case, it doesn’t matter to Hailufeng Company whether Nanjing Electric Group is willing to adopt this technology.
The core application field of microbial fuel cell technology is actually those large-scale breeding enterprises, especially the manure-making machines of pigs, cattle and sheep, which produce massive amounts of excrement every day, and these excreta contain a large amount of organic matter and various nutrients.

Of course, if you are an enterprise with a large farm, you can also consider using straw as a raw material.
Using microbial fuel cells can achieve self-sufficiency in electricity, and can also stably sell electricity to the power grid, build charging stations, etc.
As for small farms, small breeding farms, etc., they are not suitable for independent construction of microbial fuel cell power stations, because this power generation system requires a stable and large supply of fuel.
If there are not enough straw and livestock excrement, there will be no scale effect, which will increase the cost of power generation and make power generation unprofitable.
In an ideal world, the minimum scale of a microbial fuel cell power station should be maintained at more than 10,000 boxes, so that the cost can be reduced to about 0.15 yuan per kilowatt hour.
Otherwise, there will be a situation similar to that of the Yangcheng Warehousing Center. After apportioning the labor cost, the cost reaches a high level of 0.47 yuan per kilowatt hour. This cost is okay for your own use, but the power grid will not charge this kind of electricity because the price is too high. High.
However, in the past few years, the power system has been undergoing market reforms. If power generation companies are qualified to sell electricity, they can sell electricity directly to commercial, industrial and commercial users through power trading platforms.
However, there are still many problems in the current operation of this system. The most critical point is that there is an insurmountable gap between power generation companies that want to sell electricity and users who want to buy electricity, and that is the power grid.
The contradiction lies in the fact that the power generation conditions of new energy power generation companies, traditional thermal power companies, and traditional hydropower companies are different.
Solar and wind power generation companies have low costs and large fluctuations.
Hydropower generation companies have low costs and relatively small fluctuations.
Thermal and nuclear power generation areas have high costs and minimal fluctuations.
Once everyone goes to the grid to sell electricity, the price of photovoltaic and wind power will of course be the lowest. However, the problem is that the adjustment of photovoltaic and wind power requires the coordination of hydropower and thermal power, which will easily lead to conflicts.
After all, thermal power stations cannot sit still and wait. If you want me to regulate electricity consumption, then give me money to subsidize it. Otherwise, who would be willing to do this kind of loss-making business?
Burning yourself and warming others are the characteristics of candles.
This thermal power station is not a charity.
This is the problem faced by the current power trading platform.
Unless each power generation company can build a power grid independently, this contradiction will be difficult to solve.
It is almost a fanciful delusion for each power generation company to build an independent power grid.
The construction cost, operation cost and maintenance cost of the power grid are not affordable by ordinary enterprises.
Nowadays, for many photovoltaic and wind power companies, the power grid only gives them 30% of their power generation quota. It is because of this unstable power that the power grid is really unable to bear.
What's even more terrible is that the scale of domestic wind power and photovoltaic construction is getting larger and larger, which makes the power grid more and more difficult to control.
The only solution now is to develop the power storage industry on a large scale, such as pumped storage reservoirs, large power storage stations, electric vehicle battery storage, etc., so that part of the photovoltaic and wind power can be barely consumed.
This is also the reason why Jiang Miao did not rush for Hailufeng Company to cooperate with the power grid. The main reason is that the power grid is constantly tightening the review of the grid quota for new energy power generation projects and will not easily approve unstable power sources to be connected to the grid.
Although the power generation of Hailufeng's microbial fuel cell technology is highly controllable, the small power generation is also a problem.
However, Jiang Miao is not focused on power generation and grid-connection. His target customers are large breeding companies.
Just after the inspection team of Nandian Group left, in less than three days, another company that had cooperated deeply with Hailufeng Company came to visit.
