Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 7 The first users of 007 Power Plant!
After entering the city, Lin Zhe did not rush home, but went to the flower and bird market first. Before that, Lin Zhe was thinking that these ants had to be allowed to reproduce quickly, so food for the ants was naturally indispensable.

Therefore, it is better to supplement some high-quality protein first. The mealworms and barley worms that many people think are disgusting are definitely a source of high-quality protein.

Lin Zhe had learned about this from Lao Lin before. He liked fishing and often went to the flower and bird market to buy a small bag of mealworms or something to use as bait. The fishing effect was not very good, but the fish really loved to eat them, and ants probably couldn't resist the charm of fresh insects.

The car stopped at the entrance of the flower and bird market. After going in and out, Lin Zhe had already bought a large box. He would make do with it for now and buy more online at a lower price later.

After having breakfast at home, the family simply packed some food and drove back to Shima Town.

Such a long time had passed, so the couple naturally wanted to go back and see if Lin Zhe had come up with anything remarkable.

The drive of more than half an hour was not too far. After parking the car in the yard, my mother got out and looked around. She was glad that the house was not messed up, and then she called Lao Lin to help clean it up.

After cleaning the yard, they went into the house. It was almost noon, and mom started cooking while Lin Zhe and Lao Lin watched TV in the living room.

It was noon and the sun was at its highest point, with a high temperature. Lin Zhe simply turned on the air conditioner in the room. With the cool air blowing, Old Lin crossed his legs and chatted with Lin Zhe in a casual manner.

After a while, after hearing a loud and energetic voice saying "It's time to eat", the two of them got up tacitly and went to the kitchen to serve the food. At this time, Lin Zhe's mother also wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and finally came out.

It's a pain to cook in the kitchen in this hot weather, and it's even more stuffy because you have to close the kitchen door to prevent the smoke from entering the living room.

However, as soon as my mother came out, she immediately felt a cool breeze. Although it was very comfortable, she still said something subconsciously.

"It's not that hot at noon yet, but you've already turned on the air conditioner. You don't know how to save it. If you turn off the air conditioner, I'll open the window to get some fresh air and it'll still be cool."

This may be a common scene in many ordinary families. After buying the air conditioner, they are reluctant to turn it on often because of the electricity bill, so the mother at home usually turns it on when it is the hottest, and it is impossible to turn on the air conditioner in the middle of the day.

Lin Zhe was helpless before. After all, the electricity bills of several hundred yuan per month for two families in the city and town were indeed expensive. But now it is different. He just smiled and said:

"Mom, turn it on as you like. Considering our mother-son relationship, I won't charge for the electricity bill for this family from now on."

After hearing Lin Zhe's joke, his mother was stunned. Did her son mean that the electricity used in the house was generated by his power plant? Could this biomass power generation really be useful?

Noticing that his mother was standing there in a daze, Lin Zhe quickly added a sentence.

"Mom, I'm just kidding. If you want to pay the electricity bill, go ahead and pay it. I won't stop you."

In response to Lin Zhe's nonsense, my mother simply rolled her eyes and then sat in front of the air conditioner to cool down. It was really hot in the kitchen just now.

"Don't mention it, this free air conditioner is really comfortable."

Seeing his mother enjoying herself, Lin Zhe felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Although my mother seems a bit "stingy" on weekdays, she was not vague at all when she said she would take out 100,000 yuan to support me. Although my power plant has not made any money yet, at least I can turn on the air conditioner at home.

"Mom, your son's power plant is finally up and running. It won't be long before it's in the county town, so that our homes in the county town can also have 'air conditioning freedom'"

Although she was happy from the bottom of her heart, Lin Zhe's mother still maintained her usual style. "Don't brag, kid. Let alone the county town, even if you can work hard in our town to stop the factory from closing down and stabilize it, then I can find a more confident blind date for you in the future. Being the boss of a small power plant is still a boss, right?"

She had thought about Lin Zhe becoming bigger and stronger, but she still felt that it was not very realistic. However, it would be good if the power plant in the town could really be opened now, at least it would earn more than working outside.

……

After dinner, the family came to Linzhe’s power plant. Although it was a power plant, it looked very simple both inside and out, except for the “Zhetong Electric Power” sign that had just been hung up.

But this is not a problem. After realizing that the ants their son was tinkering with could really generate electricity, the couple insisted on supporting Lin Zhe's idea.

Compared with their neighbors, their vision is much broader than theirs, and they can naturally see the infinite potential behind ant power generation.

While his mother was lowering her head to observe the ants carefully, Lao Lin pulled Lin Zhe to the side and spoke in a low voice.

"Good boy, work hard. If you don't have enough money, just let me know. I have tens of thousands of dollars that your mother doesn't know about."

……

Two weeks later, during this period of time, Lin Zhe also fed the ants quite well with mealworms, and the reproduction rate was also very fast. The number has now exceeded 10,000.

Moreover, this number is increasing rapidly every day, and the ant colony is still in a stage of rapid expansion.

This also means that Zhetong Power's daily power generation has exceeded 100 degrees, reaching more than 180 degrees.

The average daily electricity consumption of an ordinary household in the town may be only four or five kWh, and no more than ten kWh at most, which means that Lin Zhe's power plant now has the capacity to supply electricity to dozens of households.

I have invested money and time, now it's time to develop users.

As the number of users grows slowly, the number of ant colonies also increases, which means that the power generation is also increasing. This is a healthy and positive development, and it won’t be long before at least the town is taken over!

The next morning, Lin Zhe arrived at the homes of several neighbors who had been agreed upon earlier. Lao Wang had pulled the main line over last time, and their electricity meter boxes were next to Lin Zhe's house.

It’s the electricity meter box used by Lin Zhe’s family. Just move it there for them.

Just like the last time he installed an electricity meter for his own home, Lin Zhe quickly moved the electricity meters of a total of five households in the surrounding area to the electricity meter box of Zhetong Electric Power.

Then, we opened "Zhetong Electricity" electricity accounts for them one by one. This is actually very simple. We can use the data service of a third-party software provider, and it only costs two yuan per user per month.

This money had to be borne by Zhetong Electric Power before it had its own data department.

With five users, the subsequent development was a natural progression, and soon all 27 households on this main line were using electricity from Zhetong Power.

The price of one kilowatt-hour of electricity is 0.6 yuan. If each household consumes an average of 150 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, that would be 90 yuan. For 27 households, that would be more than 2,400 yuan. This is the current expected monthly income of the power plant. Of course, this is just the beginning.
