"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Brother Xie. I'm still doing my research, so it's not certain whether it will work out! Brother Xie, you've worked at Jianglin Power Plant for so many years, you must have a deep understanding of this industry. I wonder if you could give me some advice?"
Chen Yu said modestly.
Xie Zhenguo shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this: "I'm just a security guard, not a technician, so how can I offer any advice? However, I can offer you some of my thoughts, which you can take as a reference. Whether or not to adopt them is up to you to decide."
“Brother, please speak freely,” Chen Yu said.
Xie Zhenguo pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, you need to understand the basic operating principles of the power station, including all aspects such as power generation, transmission, and distribution."
Secondly, you need to consider the source of funding. The construction and operation of power plants require a lot of capital. This is a long-term investment, and you can't just rest easy once the power plant is built.
In addition, you need to understand the relevant policies and regulations to ensure that your project can operate legally.
Finally, and most importantly, electricity is unlike ordinary products; private individuals cannot sell it directly. Electricity generated must be connected to the national power grid. You need to negotiate this with the relevant authorities beforehand.
Chen Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating his deep agreement with Xie Zhenguo's words. Then, seizing the opportunity, he continued to ask:
"Brother, do you know any suitable locations for building a power plant? I need it in a relatively quiet area away from people, so as to minimize the impact of power plant pollution on residents."
Xie Zhenguo said seriously upon hearing this:
"Speaking of pollution, young man, are you really planning to build a coal-fired power plant?"
Our country has recently been extremely strict on environmental protection. Even large state-owned plants like Jianglin Power Plant are frequently criticized by the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Forgive my bluntness, but you should give up on this idea!
Don't even think about building a private thermal power plant!
If you really want to invest in building a power plant, you might consider green energy, such as hydropower, solar power, or wind power.
Upon hearing Xie Zhenguo's suggestion, Chen Yu fell silent.
The power station he built was intended for use in the extreme cold of the apocalypse, when the water source would have long since frozen solid, so how could it generate electricity?
The main cause of the apocalypse is the sudden drop in the temperature of the sun, and relying on solar energy is an unrealistic idea.
Wind is also formed by temperature differences. In the post-apocalyptic world, the entire planet Earth is extremely cold, making it difficult to generate enough stable wind power for electricity generation.
Moreover, wind power facilities are easily damaged by freezing in such extreme low temperatures, which he also ruled out.
Thinking of all this, Chen Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile:
“Our area doesn’t get much sunshine throughout the year, so solar power doesn’t offer any advantages.”
The same applies to wind power; the northwest region has an advantage in developing both.
As for hydropower, our city already has enough hydropower stations, they're already at saturation. This kind of seasonal electricity generation is low in winter and not used up in summer, so I'm not getting involved in that mess.”
Hearing Chen Yu's concerns, Xie Zhenguo nodded in slight agreement. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said:
"Young man, why don't you consider geothermal power generation? It's also an emerging energy source, very environmentally friendly, and you don't have to worry about seasonal differences. The government will definitely give it strong support!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes lit up. In the extremely cold post-apocalyptic world, geothermal power generation was indeed a good option.
