My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Chapter 793 Plans In Motion

Even better, once the gas was purified and converted into biomethane—or even liquefied into fuel—it could be stored and used efficiently. If they succeeded in producing liquid biogas fuel, they wouldn’t need to worry about fuel shortages for their vehicles anymore. On top of that, biogas fuel produces far fewer emissions than fossil fuels, making it not just practical but also environmentally sustainable.

This was why Duke was fully invested in making the biogas farm a reality.

Before the apocalypse, Duke had already been deeply involved in a biogas venture, which was why he had so much knowledge about it. He had teams researching the potential of biogas and its many benefits, particularly its ability to produce clean energy while also promoting the use of natural fertilizers.

His goal had been to support sustainable farming, and he even planned to donate organic fertilizers to underprivileged farmers, making the project both charitable and commercially viable. With millions of animals on farms worldwide, sourcing animal waste wasn’t a concern, and in emergencies, even human waste could be repurposed.

Unfortunately, the project never had the chance to be fully realized, as the apocalypse struck before its completion. Still, all wasn’t lost. Now, that same knowledge could finally be put to use.

With his wife Kisha pursuing natural fertilizer production and considering the potential of biogas—especially after Hugo shared the practices from his village—Duke couldn’t help but think this might all be fate aligning at last.

After all, Duke was a businessman through and through, so it was only natural for him to weigh the pros and cons of a project like biogas. Once he saw its potential, he pursued it decisively.

Now that Kisha had explained her ideas, Duke agreed to carry out the activated carbon filtering process within the territory space as well, along with storing the purified biogas there. This way, Kisha would only need to extend a single pipeline from the territory space to the HOPE Base, directly connecting it to the machine that would convert the biogas into electricity.

Consolidating everything in one location made the system more efficient and safer. All the gas leak detectors could be concentrated in the biogas farm area within the territory, with only one additional detector needed at the HOPE Base, right where the pipeline emerged. This would simplify monitoring and reduce the risk of undetected leaks.

That way, in the event of a gas leak, there would be no risk of civilians getting caught in a terrifying explosion or similar disaster. HOPE Base housed many non-combatant civilians and had limited available space, so placing the gas chamber there would have required selecting a location still surrounded by people.

In contrast, the biogas farm inside the territory space was isolated and far from areas with regular foot traffic. The only time anyone went near it was during scheduled inspections or when it was time to collect the fermented fertilizer.

Having made up his mind, Duke shared his ideas with Kisha. They discussed the plan in detail while Kisha was taking a tea break. During their conversation, Duke unknowingly began snacking—Kisha had started spoon-feeding him as they talked.

So engrossed was he in their discussion that he didn’t even realize he was being fed, caught up in the excitement like he had found a kindred spirit. Kisha, too, enjoyed their exchange, happily feeding Duke while they brainstormed together.

Before long, Duke felt reenergized and his stomach full. He returned to Hugo and the others, who had just woken up from their nap, and found them all in high spirits, eager to continue working on the project.

As she worked, Kisha also researched new spells, hoping to discover more powerful enchantments to engrave onto the scrolls. She hadn’t yet decided whether to put these scrolls up for sale in the Supply Center or reserve them for her most trusted warriors and the Winters’ men. The idea of selling them was tempting, but her heart leaned toward arming those she cared about most. _{freēwebnovel.com}
