"You said this biogas can also be used to generate electricity?"
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's explanation, both Wu Dagang and the team leader felt that they were not keeping up with the times.
They have been working in the fields all their lives. It was only the year before last that the village installed wires and used electric lights.
They only have a partial understanding of the principles of power generation.
Now Zhou Ziwen said that biogas can be used to generate electricity, which is simply a fantasy to them.
Wu Dagang frowned and asked doubtfully: "Ziwen, is this biogas power generation reliable? Let's not waste time and energy on those useless things."
The captain also echoed: " Yes, Ziwen, this sounds too mysterious. Although we don’t understand these new things, we can’t try them blindly.”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and explained: “Uncle Wu, captain. , I know you are worried that it is unreliable. In fact, biogas power generation has a scientific basis."
"The main component of biogas is methane, which is a flammable gas. As long as there is suitable equipment and conditions, it can be used. Generate electricity."
He continued patiently: "Of course, we don't have to be too anxious to achieve biogas power generation now."
"At present, we are building a biogas digester first, and after accumulating a certain amount of experience, we will then consider power generation. Moreover, even if we do not generate electricity, biogas is very practical for boiling water for cooking."
Wu Dagang and After listening to Zhou Ziwen's explanation, the captain felt a little more at ease.
The captain nodded and said: "Ziwen, what you said makes sense. Then we will build the biogas digester according to your plan first. We will talk about the rest later."
Wu Dagang also agreed: "Well, let's do the things in front of us first. If this biogas digester can really come in use, that would be a good thing."
After handing over the design drawing to Wu Dagang, this There is nothing wrong with Zhou Ziwen.
With Wu Dagang and the captain watching here, he can rest assured and go about other things.
The pig farm here is already under construction, and it’s time for him to get busy with the pig feed.
If the feed here is not ready by the time the piglets arrive, it will be troublesome.
The raw materials of biological feed are very common, including some corn stalks, soybean stalks, and common straw, wheat straw, etc.
When making feed, these raw materials only need to be dried and then crushed into fine chaff.
Then use the biological starter to mix and ferment it with the forage in a certain proportion.
There is no need to worry about raw materials. There is a shortage of everything in the countryside, except for all kinds of straw.
The key is the configuration of the biological starter.
This is also very simple for Zhou Ziwen. He has a formula and can easily configure it.
Biological feed is also the reason why Zhou Ziwen dares to let the production team raise pigs.
But crushing forage is also a problem.
It would be too troublesome to rely on manual labor. It would be great if there was a crusher.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhou, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it? Tell me." The captain asked.
Zhou Ziwen organized his words a little, and then said: "Uncle Wu, captain, in order to prepare pig feed, we need to crush a large amount of grass. Manual crushing is too inefficient and too tiring. I was thinking , it would be great if we could have a crusher, which would greatly improve our work efficiency.”
"A crusher! This is not easy to do. Why don't I go to the commune to ask President Fu later? He has a wide network and should be able to find resources in this field."
Wu Dagang held the cigarette pole and chirped. A few mouthfuls. "Is the crusher expensive?" the captain asked.
“Pulverizer equipment should not be very cheap, but we don’t buy new ones. It would be great if we could buy second-hand ones. Even if there are some problems, we can do it ourselves. Repair it!"
Zhou Ziwen said: "We are getting rich anyway, so we might as well spend our money wisely."
"How much does this cost!" When it came to money, Wu Dagang felt a little distressed.
However, although they were distressed, neither Wu Dagang nor the captain refused.
Their village is now considered rich, but the reason why it is so rich is thanks to Zhou Ziwen.
If Zhou Ziwen had not taken the lead in growing mushrooms, their village would not have had so much income.
So they took Zhou Ziwen's suggestion of purchasing a crusher seriously.
Wu Dagang thought for a while and said: "Ziwen, what you said makes sense. Let's go to the commune to ask about the situation first. If the price is right, we will consider buying one."
If someone else said that they want to buy a crusher Yes, Wu Dagang had to scold that person, but if it were Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang's attitude would be much gentler.
The captain also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Ziwen has a bright mind and his idea is correct. Let's go to the commune to see the situation."
Wu Dagang He paid more attention to Zhou Ziwen's matter and chatted with Zhou Ziwen for a while. After asking clearly about the crusher's requirements, he turned around and went home and rode his bicycle to the commune.
As for the pig farm, the captain is watching.
"Uncle Zhou, please arrange a few people for me!"
To make biological feed, Zhou Ziwen definitely cannot do it alone.
Besides, he is not prepared to do the work himself. He can just arrange for others to do it. He is only responsible for command and key parts of the technology.
"Okay, how many do you want?" The captain also knew that Zhou Ziwen wanted to make biological feed, so he simply agreed to his request.
Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and said: "Assign about ten people to me first! They are mainly responsible for collecting and drying straw, as well as assisting me with some simple operations."
The captain nodded and immediately assigned ten young and strong members to Zhou Ziwen.
These ten members are very convinced of Zhou Ziwen, after all, he has established a high prestige in the village.
Zhou Ziwen took this group of members to the mill in the village and prepared to operate here.
Zhou Ziwen took the ten members to the mill. The space here is spacious and suitable for use as a temporary feed processing point.
He first explained the entire production process of biological feed to the members in detail, from collecting straw to crushing to fermentation. Every step was explained clearly.
The members listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show that they understood the production process.
Zhou Ziwen continued: "Let's start by collecting straw. We divided into several groups and went to various places in the village to collect corn stalks, soybean stalks, rice straw and wheat straw. We should pay attention to selecting those that are not moldy or spoiled.
After collecting the straw, they put it in the open space outside the mill to dry. ”
According to Zhou Ziwen’s arrangement, the members divided into several groups and quickly went to every corner of the village. Collect straw.
Not long after, a large amount of straw was transported to the open space outside the mill.
Zhou Ziwen instructed the members to spread the straw neatly to ensure that each straw can fully receive sunlight. (End of this chapter)
