Chapter 201 Bio-Battery
Chapter 201 Bio-Battery
Biobattery technology is currently a very novel technological path.
But for Bai Xi's later generations, it is not a particularly new technical term.
It has been widely proposed by scientists as early as 2022, but no substantial breakthrough has been achieved.
The history of this technology can be traced back to 1910, when the British Empire botanist Mark Pitt discovered a situation:
The culture fluid of several types of bacteria can generate electricity, so he used platinum as an electrode and put it into the culture fluid of E. coli or common yeast. In this way, the first bacterial battery was "born" in his hands.
Then came 1984.
Across the ocean, a microbial battery capable of operating in outer space has been developed, fueled by living bacteria and astronauts' urine.
Therefore, microbial batteries have always been regarded as a promising future energy source, such as providing power for cars.
But as of 2025, before Bai Xi's rebirth.
Microbial batteries are still a relatively theoretical technology, and even the highest power in the laboratory is only 0.66 milliwatts per square centimeter.
Because there are so many difficulties.
For example, microbial fuel cells, like ordinary batteries, consist of a biological anode and a chemical cathode.
Since there are currently relatively large problems in both parts, the power density and current density of the entire battery are far behind those of more mature fuel cell systems.
Without engineered bacteria.
A standard MFC double-chamber battery - potassium ferrocyanide cathode, carbon cloth electrode, 130ml double chamber, generates an electric potential energy of 500mV, which is an excellent result.
And an ordinary Nanfu AAA battery is...
1.5v.
Therefore, it is very difficult to industrialize such a low voltage, and it can only be used for sewage treatment at most.
However, in the field of sewage treatment, the process of anaerobic fermentation to produce methane is already quite mature and much more efficient than microbial fuel cells.
So let's be honest.
It is still quite difficult to make a breakthrough in microbial batteries to the level where they can be used as conventional power, such as car batteries, power plants, etc.
But then again....
When has the system's products ever disappointed people?
【Biobattery Technology】:
A unique new battery technology relies on internal bacteria to generate electricity. In dry environments, the bacteria remain dormant. Adding glucose awakens them and allows them to respire, releasing electrons and protons. The battery's silver nitrate cathode captures these electrons, generating an electric current. This technology can be used for simple, small-scale power generation, generating approximately 1 kWh per square centimeter. Each glucose supplement can generate electricity for up to five hours.
【Environmentally friendly, harmless, powerful, you deserve it. 】

1 kWh/square centimeter means that one square centimeter of battery can generate 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity per hour.
Thanks to the basic courses that System Boss had taught her before, Bai Xi had some understanding of physics.
She quickly calculated it in her mind and was shocked.
You know, the diesel generators in normal factories are heavy and large, and their capacity is basically around 5 kWh.
Such a small piece can generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity in one hour?
Do you only need to consume glucose solution?
This is no longer just eating grass and turning the mill, this is milking on an empty stomach!
In the past, driving was said to consume ten liters of oil per hundred kilometers. In the future, if this battery is installed in a new energy electric car, it can be said to consume two liters of glucose per hundred kilometers!
Even a fool can see the price difference.
to be frank.
If this technique hadn't come from System Overlord and had never failed before, she wouldn't have believed it.
Just looking at this efficiency, who would not say it is a fantasy?
Moreover, this battery pattern looks very light and powerful.
Not to mention bionic aircraft, even some of China's advanced weapons that are constrained by energy can be put back on the agenda. The worst that can happen is that the batteries can be made bigger.
It seems that the scientific and technological development of our motherland is about to take off again.
After all, energy is one of the biggest obstacles to human progress.
Bai Xi was happy but also a little greedy.
"Why not a nuclear fusion battery...it would be great to do it all in one go..."
But she was just talking about it. The emergence of this biological battery technology is enough to threaten the oil hegemony of the United States, and it would be even better if they could go straight to nuclear fusion batteries in one step.
The direct collapse of the oil economy may cause the US to start a third world war.
Even for this biological battery, whether it should be launched and how it should be launched may need to be discussed with the organization to avoid touching the sensitive nerves of some people.
To be honest, at this point in 2015, although Bai Xi's rebirth has brought a lot of confidence, there is still some gap between him and the military level of the Eagle Sauce, and he still needs to develop.
As the saying goes, build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king.
Only when the time is ripe will Xia, the giant dragon of the East, truly take off.
Don't forget, Shenlong...
It also has the sharpest fangs!
......
While Bai Xi was still daydreaming, a huge problem quietly appeared before her...
How to complete the task?
"Can it be said?"
"Could this mission be related to Taoism?"
Bai Xi pondered secretly based on the name of the task.
Based on the experience of the previous mission, the names of the missions given by System Boss are most likely not randomly chosen. For example, in the mission "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" that Bai Xi has completed, the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty that she finally opened from the stone tablet, in a sense, represent the continuation of the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, based on the name Dao Ke Dao, Bai Xi inferred that this task was related to Taoism. This was not a random guess. It was just that Bai Xi really couldn't figure out what kind of Taoist artifacts could be recognized as national treasures by the system.
As one wishes?
Seal?
Magic sword?
It seems that none of them are very reliable?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Bai Xi's mind, but he still couldn't come up with any clues.
[Does the host consume collection points to obtain task prompts? ]
I almost forgot about this again!
Bai Xi slapped his forehead. The last time he saw the task reward, he was so distracted that he almost forgot to use it. This time it happened again.
Fortunately, System Boss is very considerate.
"Yes!"
【Collection points have been deducted】
[Hint 1: 45 days later, Manchuria City, Heilongjiang Province.]
Hint 2 will be unlocked after the host reaches the city where Hint 1 is located.
Good news, no nesting dolls this time.
Bad news, this time the prompts are more complicated and you have to go to a certain place to unlock them.
It seems that this mission is even more difficult than the one we just completed, The Splendor of the Ming Dynasty.
And the Sino-Russian border...
It sounds a bit dangerous, and I don't know if she can go.
Bai Xi sat on the bed and thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
She stretched, stood up and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
"Let's first think about what we have to do when we return to the demon world tomorrow."
"At worst, we can just apply for assistance from the organization!"
