Located in the western part of the Mombasa-Nairobi Autonomous Region, Odos is a new coal city, and the reason why it is called a ghost town is not because it is haunted, but because the new city of Odos is empty, like a ghost town.

From Odos Airport to the ghost city of Kangbashi New District, only 20 miles away, Li Shaoyang took Isabella, did not look for a taxi, but looked casually near the airport, chatted with a local man who drove a red Wrangler, and then took out 1 million to buy his car, traded on the spot, and drove directly on the road.

"Awesome!" Isabella praised.

"That man is awesome, the balance in the mobile phone account is more than 8 figures." Li Shaoyang smiled.

Isabella looked at the beautiful grassland in the distance, the blue grass, the blue sky, the white clouds in the sky, and the white sheep on the ground......

"The people here are rich? Why is there no one living in a new city? Isabella had seen the empty ghost town, and from a distance, the whole ghost town looked like a ball of delicate building blocks on the prairie.

"The population is too small, and the locals can't afford to buy so many houses, because the economy is collapsing, and outsiders don't want to come." Li Shaoyang drove the car into the grassland, the sky was high and the clouds were light at a glance, this kind of place is the most suitable for driving an off-road vehicle.

"Odos relied on resources to get rich, once there were thousands of coal mines here, when the coal price was the highest, each ton of coal could be sold for 400 yuan, but in the 11th year, the price of coal plummeted, the lowest was only 130 yuan, causing an economic bubble." Ferry to see the new festival

Li Shaoyang stopped, and a group of sheep in front of him were driven past the car, and the shepherds rode across the country and said hello to them.

Isabella also got out of the car and looked at the still city together.

"At the best of the economic situation here, Odos began to build the new city of Kangbashi, which was ready to accommodate 500,000 people, and finally built 40,000 buildings, and it all turned out to be a bubble."

Isabella listened quietly, and couldn't help but open her phone to check the information: "Well, didn't it mean that 50,000 people have already lived, although it is small, it can't be called a ghost town." ”

Li Shaoyang smiled: "50,000 people, half of them are selling houses, half of them are coaxed to buy houses, many local people in Odos bought houses here, came to see them during the day, and drove back to sleep at night." ”

He turned his head to look at the sinking sunset: "Wait, it's late at night, you know what a ghost town is." ”

When it was dark, they found a hotel.

In terms of decoration alone, it is definitely three stars, but as soon as I entered, I only saw 1 person.

1 person!

Seeing them coming to stay, the manager and waiter of this three-star hotel shook his head and said, "Even if I let you stay, there is no air conditioning, no TV, and the bed sheets have not been changed for a long time......"

Isabella sighed, but the manager smiled and asked, "If you're here for tourism, go to the east to find a place." ”

"We want to live forever." Li Shaoyang said lightly.

The manager nodded: "I have four houses in the Orchid Garden villa area, you can pick any one, and the rent is 10,000 yuan per month." The four suites are fully equipped with electrical appliances and everything. ”

Li Shaoyang happily rented a set.

"It's a ghost town." Isabella muttered.

The manager's face sank: "This young lady, what you said is not right, this is not a ghost town, it is all nonsense from the media, this is just our urban planning, now there are 100,000 people living in the city, if you don't believe it, you will go to the Music Fountain Square to see it later." ”

Li Shaoyang stretched out his hand: "I'm sorry, we don't mean that, I know, my name is Li Shaoyang." ”

The manager shook hands with him haughtily: "You can call me Ertu." ”

Pulling Isabella out of the hotel, Li Shaoyang took the key given by Ertu, drove to the Orchid Garden villa area first, found the house, and went in to see that the decoration was very exquisite, and the electrical appliances were still imported.

The two took a bath happily, but were embarrassed to find that there was nothing to eat, Isabella took out two pieces of chocolate, and the two of them pitifully cushioned their stomachs and walked outside.

There is a well-established bicycle system, so you can rent bicycles by coining on the side of the road.

Riding a bicycle, playing comfortably on the quiet avenue, in the deep night, only a few villas in the villa community were lit up, Isabella shook her head: "It's not a ghost town, I can't even see a figure." ”

Li Shaoyang was very interested: "Let's go, go to the music fountain and have a look." ”

The ghost town of Odos, in the mask of foam, actually has a lot of miraculous buildings. There are many of the world's best, Asia's best.

To the south of the world's largest sculpture complex in front of the Odos City Hall, the largest square in the world, stretches for 3 kilometers to the tallest musical fountain in Asia on the banks of the Ulan Mulun River.

At this time, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and the traffic and people began to gather on the banks of the Ulan Mulun River, and the largest laser music fountain in Asia began to perform every night. The splendid fountain can be seen from hundreds of meters away.

At around half past eight, the crowd gathered wildly, and many police officers appeared directing traffic.

Li Shaoyang and Isabella watched this scene in shock. The fountain platform on the bank of the one-kilometer river is crowded with people, like dense ants. The food stalls on the riverbank platform are full of customers, and the unique aroma of Mongolian barbecue spreads all around.

"Look at ......" Isabella patted Li Shaoyang: "It's really crowded, what Ertu said is true." ”

They drank wine and ate meat at the food stalls, danced with everyone, and did not return to the villa until late at night.

……

Isabella was lying next to Li Shaoyang, with beads of sweat left over from her white shoulders, and the man gently covered her with a quilt and walked to the window to contact Nuwa.

"Give me an update on the city of Odos." Li Shaoyang said in a deep voice.

Through the windows, the whole city is still so quiet, but the scene of the crowd in Fountain Square just now shows that this is not a ghost town.

Nuwa immediately got busy.

"By the way, how are the satellites in geosynchronous orbit over the hot springs looking?" Li Shaoyang suddenly remembered this extremely important matter.

"The satellite uses a separate line and is not on the Internet, so it can't be investigated." Nuwa replied.

"And what about nearby satellites, can you observe it?"

"Yes, but this offensive satellite has a perfect defense, and it is guarded by high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, so it cannot be destroyed."

Li Shaoyang shook his head, this satellite used to deal with himself is really a headache.

Soon, Nuwa transmitted the latest information about Odos.

"According to the latest public data, Ordos has invested more than 150 billion yuan in the ghost city of Kangba this year, including 600 kilometers of highways, 18 large substations, and 14 industrial parks distributed here, each of which covers an area of dozens of square kilometers."

After reporting these data, Nuwa said: "The ghost town of Kangbashi currently has a population of more than 100,000, mainly because two large coal chemical groups have established an industrial zone here, gathering more than 80,000 employees. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Li Shaoyang understood, the houses here were all used as "dormitories" for employees, no wonder there were more of these people.

"Search all industrial companies in Odos!" Li Shaoyang said.

Nuwa quickly sorted it out.

Shenguang Group is mainly engaged in the coal-to-liquid industry in Odos.

Langhua Group is engaged in the coal chemical industry in Odos.

……

A series of companies are related to coal, and they are all mainly engaged in coal chemical enterprises.

But the most conspicuous thing in this is not the large industrial conglomerates, but a new energy development company called "Moonlight".

On the entire table, this is the smallest company, and the reason why it attracted Li Shaoyang's attention was because the information of this small company was almost zero.

In Nuwa's powerful abilities, this is almost impossible.

Li Shaoyang immediately contacted Jiu'er, who had returned to L City, and asked her to use the database of the National Security Bureau to check this "Moonlight New Energy Company." ”

Jiu'er replied quickly that she had not found any information about this company.

Li Shaoyang looked at the address of the company, and it turned out to be not far from the villa where he lived, just across the street.

Instead of continuing to investigate, it is better to go straight and take a look.

The next day, Li Shaoyang took Isabella into a neighborhood a street away.

There are only four buildings in this complex, all of which are duplexes on the lower floors with large internal spaces. The décor is also good.

As soon as I walked in, I could see the signboard hanging on the small building in the middle, Moon New Energy Company, from the fact that the small building was greatly remodeled, it was by no means rented, it should have been directly bought from this building as an office.

Although the price of the current Odos property market has shrunk significantly, the price of this building is also indispensable for seven or eight million.

Li Shaoyang and Isabella walked in, and it was quite lively, especially the transparent group server on the first floor, which is something only high-tech IT companies can get.

The front desk in charge of receiving them heard that Li Shaoyang wanted to see their boss, so he smiled apologetically: "We have two bosses, which one do you want to meet?" ”

Li Shaoyang frowned: "Anyone can do it, I'm here to talk about cooperation." ”

"Do you know what our main business is?" The front desk blinked its eyes: "What kind of cooperation do you want to talk about?" ”

Li Shaoyang was embarrassed.

Isabella frowned: "You little receptionist, a lot of nonsense." ”

The front desk lady said politely: "My job duty is to receive guests and ask the purpose of the guests, why is it nonsense in your place." ”

Isabella was choked up and couldn't say a word.

Li Shaoyang frowned, and looked sideways at the computer next to the front desk lady, but the screen was black, and various white characters were flashing, as if it was a programming language.

Isabella also saw it, and couldn't help but change her complexion.

Pulled Li Shaoyang to the side of the rest area, and said in a low voice: "This chick actually uses the 'Hermit Assembly Language' for programming games. ”

Li Shaoyang didn't understand.

Isabella lowered her voice: "It's a programming game that only hackers like to play, it's very powerful, and I used to take classes in this area when I was training in a mercenary camp. ”

Li Shaoyang suddenly became more interested. What kind of company will invite hackers to do the reception!
