Chapter 22 Microgrid Engineering
After Ji Zai tidied up his laboratory,
Turning around, I saw everyone carrying all the things they had brought back to the rooftop.
She followed him up.
A group of people were chattering on the roof.
"These are solar panels? They look a bit like the ones I've seen before, but I wonder how many kilowatt-hours of electricity they can store."
Xue Nai personally carried these photovoltaic panels out.
It's not a lot, just 25 boards.
Xue Nai was a little confused. "We've brought all the boards back from the lab, but what can we do with just a few boards? And surely we can't supply electricity to everyone in the dorm with just a few boards?"
The others didn't quite understand the problem, so they looked at Ji Zai.
Ji Zai squatted down and said, “Yes, no. We have a lot of sunshine here. The amount of solar power depends on the size of the mainstream and the effective lighting time. Ours generates about 150 kWh of electricity per day, and our energy storage battery can store 300 kWh of electricity.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the school's air conditioner outdoor unit.
There was a moment of silence.
She continued, "Our school is quite generous; they provided us with top-tier air conditioners. Based on daily electricity consumption, we use about 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day."
"If you include the nighttime hours, that's 8 kilowatt-hours."
With eight kilowatt-hours of electricity, we can probably have air conditioning in about 19 dorm rooms.
Upon hearing this number, everyone instinctively frowned.
Nan Yao said, "This is far too little!"
Hearing this, Ji Zai nodded, “It is indeed very little, but don’t forget, I said to make full use of electricity! If you receive more sunlight every day, then you can double the amount. After all, I previously calculated it based on 3 to 6 hours, but the sun in the south is very strong and hot, and the sun shines for much longer than that.”
"Roughly estimated, there should be 36 dorm rooms."
36 rooms?
That's still too little.
There are 114 people in their dormitory building.
They have all now moved to the third to sixth floors.
Almost every dormitory room was occupied.
There are 30 dorm rooms on each floor, which makes a total of 90 dorm rooms.
That's how 36 dorm rooms were able to get electricity.
this...
For a moment, everyone was at a loss.
Ji Zai thought for a moment, "Each building has 12 dorm rooms. Speaking of which, we can find other people to share rooms with, and try to increase the number of people in our dorm rooms."
"It's the end of the world, so please bear with it and live with strangers for a while."
"That way, everyone can enjoy air conditioning 24 hours a day."
Ouyang Yi frowned and did a careful calculation. "There are 114 people here. The dormitories are four-person rooms. If all of them were four people, there would be about 29 rooms. Now there are 36 dormitories that can have electricity all day."
"Now we can blow them all up, right?"
That's right.
The biggest concern right now is the high temperature.
I'm even more afraid that it will get hotter and hotter in the future.
If we can't get air conditioning, everyone will get heatstroke.
Now let's talk about living together.
It's not impossible.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then he glanced at the people around him.
Ji Zai looked at them. "So? Do you agree?"
Xue Nai paused for a moment, then said, "I think it's a good idea! I live alone, currently in room 301. There are three beds available. Does anyone want to move in?"
The others nodded.
They're not very close, and now I don't know what to do.
Seeing this, Ouyang Yi adjusted his glasses and said, "Well then, I'll make the arrangements. Ji Zai, you can start installing. The electricians can stay and help out. I'll arrange for the others to move their dorm rooms to the front."
"The first 12 dorm rooms will have electricity first."
Ji Zai nodded.
She originally intended to connect to the main power switch of this building.
Each dormitory room actually has electricity.
However, the current is relatively small, and there may be situations where the power is contested, so it is better to gather them together.
Then, the group began building.
This is a huge project.
Ji Zai first said, "We need to hurry, otherwise if the temperature rises in the next few days and we haven't finished setting it up, then we're doomed."
A girl with pigtails said, "I can work overtime to finish this load-bearing structure first, and I can also apply the waterproof sealant for you. I've learned how to do that."
"Five of our team members haven't gone home yet. We'll be working overtime here tonight. Leader, you can rest assured and leave tonight to us!"
Ji Zai looked at them and saw that they were covered in sweat.
Are you sure you're all okay?
The girl with pigtails nodded. "No problem. My major is electrical engineering, so you can rest assured that I will definitely not mess it up."
"I thought I would work as a car mechanic after graduation, but I never expected that I would end up working in a field related to my major."
Ji Zai yawned. "Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll take over tomorrow."
This kind of project takes a considerable amount of time.
In the past, it would have taken one to three days.
But the situation is different now.
If the temperature keeps rising, they'll all suffer.
By the time the story was recorded, Ouyang Yi had already finished directing the people to move into their dormitories.
She saw Ji Zai and said, "The dorms are all ready. I've moved into 302. The layout of your 303 hasn't changed. Go wash up and rest first. I'll wake you up at seven tomorrow morning."
Ji Zai yawned, "Okay, thank you."
Because of Ji Zai's special circumstances, the dormitory remained unchanged.
Liang Qiyue was very sad. "President, tell me, why is it that no one has moved into our dorm? I was so enthusiastic, so friendly, and so looking forward to my new roommates."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi adjusted her glasses and said, "Because your roommate is the leader of the alliance. If the leader doesn't even have any privileges, it will make us seem very low-class."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at their dormitory.
How should I put it?
There are a bunch of chemical test tubes in this dormitory with unknown purposes.
It gave me goosebumps.
Remembering the principal's miserable state, Ouyang Yi silently withdrew her gaze.
I lived with them.
This is a situation where you might not even survive.
This is just the end of the world, not the end of the road.
She hasn't complained about living too long.
Seeing her expression, Liang Qiyue gave a cold, resentful snort, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
She glanced at her dorm room, tears welling up in her eyes. "Isn't it because we have a lot of chemicals in our dorm that you cold-hearted women couldn't help but abandon us?!"
"I'm so heartbroken."
"Isn't it just a measly explosive drug that could potentially kill you?"
"Do you really have to be so disgusted by this?!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi silently withdrew her gaze. "So you knew your dormitory was a den of wolves and tigers."
Liang Qiyue: "......"
She stopped talking.
Back in the dormitory, I saw that Ji Zai had already taken a shower and gone to sleep.
Liang Qiyue wiped the sweat from her brow and muttered, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter."
She only feels hot all over.
Then I took a towel, dampened it, and wiped it, but I didn't dare use water.
After wiping away the sweat, I lay down on the bed.
"I hope everything will be fine."
