What does China lack most now?
There’s a power shortage!
Even the army could only supply electricity for a limited time, and there was no electricity in the vast rural areas. People could only use candles and kerosene lamps, and many places could not even afford these.
In the minds of most people, power generation is high-tech, or in today's terms, it is high-end, grand, and classy.
If the Second Regiment can generate its own electricity, no matter how much electricity it can generate, as long as it can generate electricity, it will be a proud thing.
Lu Yunsheng was also very curious, "How can pig manure generate electricity?"
Sheng Pinghua nodded repeatedly, indicating that he also wanted to know very much.
"Just, ferment!"
The reactions of the two also made Jiang Yan stunned for a moment. Biogas power generation is quite common in later generations, but it seems a bit unusual in this era.
"Pig manure fermentation produces a combustible gas, and we can use the heat generated by combustion to generate electricity or cook rice."
After that, she added: "But don't have too high expectations. With the scale of our pig farm, it can only meet daily lighting needs. If you want to drive some large machine, it is impossible."
"It's fine if it can provide lighting, as long as it's enough for our Second Regiment to use."
Sheng Pinghua was very excited. If the Second Regiment could achieve freedom in electricity use, it would be a great achievement.
Jiang Yan continued, "Commissar, does our regiment have diesel or gasoline generators? I would like to research it."
Jiang Yan is very familiar with the principles of various gas generators.
She had learned all this knowledge during her previous systematic study, but she couldn't just bring it out out of thin air. She still had to study and learn it before bringing it out.
Sheng Pinghua nodded, "I'll have someone bring it to you later."
"No, I'll go to the regiment. I'll have to put it back together after I take it apart."
"That's fine." Sheng Pinghua asked curiously, "Can the biogas you mentioned be used to generate electricity with a diesel generator?"
"cannot."
Jiang Yan shook her head and explained.
"But the principles of power generation are basically the same. I can design a biogas generator based on the diesel generator, and then commission a factory to produce a few in the name of the Second Regiment. That should be no problem."
The Second Regiment has plenty of money from selling feed, so buying a few generators won’t be a problem.
Jiang Yan's words surprised Sheng Pinghua again, "You can design a generator by yourself?"
Jiang Yan was not a technical talent in her previous life. Everything she has learned now is from the system, so her understanding of herself is actually not very clear.
Because the system identified it as a basic learning task, she also thought that what she was learning was just some basic knowledge, so she was always very humble and didn't think she was that great.
But in fact, her current level of knowledge is more than enough to be a graduate student supervisor at a university.
Sheng Pinghua's reaction made Jiang Yan feel that she was a little too prominent, so she quickly added modestly: "Ah, I'll just try, but it may not succeed."
