When I came to Ordosi Market, I saw the dome inside the airport and the huge portrait of Genghis Khan.

Xi Ming remembered previous history books and a recent news.

Historically, Genghis Khan unified five tribes and killed countless Tatars and beggars.

Attack the Jin Kingdom, killing 450,000 in one battle. Conquering Lake Baikal to the north.

In order to avenge 450 people, the 60-year-old sent troops to Arabs. The troops were divided into four groups and killed 750,000 soldiers. All cities that resisted were massacred, and more than 1 million were massacred in the first city alone. Zhebe led 20,000 people to chase and kill Sanduan. Because the Eastern Roman Empire gave money and things, he changed the route to destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then went north to Germany and strangled Russia.

On the way back, Genghis Khan was angry with Xixia's treason and after breaking the city, he massacred millions of them. Before his death, he destroyed the Jin Kingdom. After Genghis Khan's death, his descendants Ogedei destroyed the Song Kingdom.

The Xixia Kingdom was destroyed, and the Xixia Kingdom was completely destroyed. The population of Xixia was estimated to be several million. Except for the slaves and mercenaries, all the rest were killed.

The Arabs were almost massacred, and more than 100 cities were massacred. At that time, the Arab world was at its peak. Based on the 200,000 people in each city, it was estimated that tens of millions were killed. I don’t know the number of invasion of Europe, but now Europeans are hated by the Mongols to the core, which shows that there are also many massacres.

In that ignorant era, he was a hero personally, and no one could break the war record between him and his descendants.

This is his history.

The news that Ximing saw was in a recent study. Genghis Khan was called the "most environmentally friendly" monarch in history, because during his reign, he launched many foreign wars, and the population in Eurasia dropped sharply. However, because of this, large areas of arable land became forests again, greatly reducing the atmospheric carbon dioxide content.

According to foreign media reports, the researchers from the Carnegie Institute in the United States conducted this study. They believed that Genghis Khan led the Mongolian army to launch wars of foreign conquests many times during the 13th and 14th centuries, conquering vast areas such as West Asia and Central Europe, and creating the vast Mongolian Empire. At the same time, due to the reduction in population, the cultivated land directly turned back into forests, reducing about 700 million tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which can be regarded as a "major" in slowing global warming. Although Genghis Khan's approach may be difficult to accept by environmentalists, ecologists believe that this may be a successful case in history of human beings' efforts to fight global climate warming.

Julia Pongratz, of the Global Ecology Department of the Carnegie Institute in the United States, led the implementation of the study. She said: "It is generally believed that human destruction of climate began with the large-scale use of coal, oil and other fuels in the industrial era. In fact, the entire history of human cultural development is a process of destroying the earth's ecology. Agriculture culture began to destroy the earth's vegetation thousands of years ago, turning the forests that absorb carbon dioxide into cultivated land."

The Mongolian invasion caused 700 million tons of carbon dioxide to be absorbed, roughly equivalent to the total amount of carbon dioxide produced by gasoline worldwide every year. The study also estimated the environmental impact of other events involving large-scale population deaths, such as the Black Death in Europe, the demise of the Ming Dynasty in China and the conquest of the Americans by Europeans. These events also played a role in returning farmland to forests, but none of them could be compared with the "effect" achieved by Genghis Khan. Panggratz explained: "During short-term events like the Black Death in the Black Death and the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the forests that resumed growth were not enough to absorb carbon dioxide emitted by rotten substances in the soil. The Mongol invasion process was long-lasting, so there was enough time for the forest to grow again and absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide."

Genghis Khan is one of the most conquering conquerors in history with the power and ideas of conquests, and the wars launched to help carbon dioxide absorption are obviously not intentional. Panggraz hopes that her research will change the future historians’ perceptions of our environmental impact in the future. “Based on the knowledge acquired in the past, we are making new decisions on land use to reduce the impact on climate and carbon cycles,” she said.

This news is very interesting.

Xi Ming and his group then walked out of the airport.

They chartered a car to Kangbashi, Ordosi New District.

That's where they are going.

Ordosi is very rich, but the house is not worth it, and it is like the end of the world.

There are more cars on the road than pedestrians.

Houses are all luxurious houses.

The driver in the car said that Combash once ran angrily, Porsche, Bentley, and Ferrari, and they were all determined to surpass them; the BMW, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini, and Cadillac behind them were chasing each other, making them unwilling to be in the back; the Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin, who enjoyed the throne of the rich, all flew here...

At this moment, there were no pedestrians or multiple vehicles on the streets of Kangbashi.

In Kangbashi New City, there are tall buildings lined up one after another, but the population is relatively sparse. It was once named "ghost city" by the media, but now, after so many years, this new city is still an "empty city".

This ghost domain, which became the birthplace of China's real estate bubble, once shocked many people.

They finally stayed at the four-star hotel in Kangbashi.

Xi Ming once again took out the investigation information about the Ordosi market that Yan Yan gave to him.

He sighed like many people that Ordosi is really a magical city.

In ancient times, Genghis Khan was a genius. Genghis Khan passed by here and designated this place as his place of sleep. The Mongolian place name here is "Ordosi", which means "numerous palaces" in Chinese.

It seems that heaven has a destined meaning.

The houses here are like numerous uninhabited palaces.

However, before 2004, the entire Ordosi was once the poorest area in NMG, while Kangbashi was still a desert with only two small villages and less than 1,400 people.

Until one day, four "treasures" were discovered here: the unique Albass white cashmere is known as soft gold; the proven reserves of coal are 167.6 billion tons, accounting for 1/6 of the total national volume. Ordosi is now the largest coal-producing market in China; the rare earth reserves are 6.5 billion tons; and the proven reserves of natural gas are more than 800 billion cubic meters, accounting for 1/3 of the total national reserves.

Because of "sheep, coal, soil, and gas", I immediately became proud.

After the discovery of the four treasures, GDP has been rising year by year, and Ordosi, which ranks first in the country in terms of growth competitiveness, has built a new city in a desert called Kangbashi with its rich economic strength.

Three years later.

That is, a miracle city was born in 2007. At the end of 2007, China's urban competitive development power ranking showed that Ordosi's growth competitiveness was the first in the country; per capita GDP was 104.51 million US dollars, exceeding bj and sh.

Since 2004, with the rise of coal prices, Ordosi, which has 1/6 of the country's coal reserves, became rich overnight. This place, once called "a place for the revitalization of the declining dynasty and a country for the enjoyment of the white-haired old man", suddenly poured in "golden rushers" from all over the country.

With the influx of foreign tourists, the local government believes that the DS District of Ordosi District cannot carry more population and needs to open a new district relay. This place carrying the "Ordosi Meng" was selected at Kangbashi, which is surrounded by three sides of the Ulanmulun River.

The wealth of coal resources monetized out and poured into the real estate industry. With the craze of housing speculation, the housing prices in this desert small city even soared to 20,000 yuan per square meter, approaching first-tier cities, and prices also rose higher.

The government began to build a new area in the desert, with a total construction investment of more than 5 billion yuan.

In terms of planning design, Kangbashi New District adopts an open mind and selects Grade A planning and design units with excellent performance at home and abroad on a large scale. Senior experts from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Ministry of Construction, Tongji University and other institutions are invited to review and review, and compile plans at all levels to form a complete supporting planning system.

The urban construction of the new district adheres to the idea of ​​stretching, ecology and livability, fully reflects the regional characteristics, ethnic style, grassland culture and the harmony between man and nature, combined with the winding and undulating terrain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, highlighting the uniqueness of the city.

In 2006, the average price of Ordosi real estate was around 1,200 yuan per square meter, and by 2007, the average price reached more than 5,000 yuan. In 2009, the housing prices rose sharply again, reaching 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter; in 2010, it reached 100 million yuan per square meter.

At that time, some high-end residential or commercial real estate prices had reached 20,000 to 30,000 per square meter.

In 2011, the private lending chain collapsed.

As the coal craze subsided, Ordosi seemed to have become a ghost town, with idle and unfinished buildings everywhere.

House prices instantly fell to 3,000.

In 2012, China's coal mine exports peaked, with one-fifth of the coal mine supply coming from Ordosi. However, by 2014, coal prices fell to six-year lows, causing local private coal mines to close in large quantities. With the economic recession, China's main coal product, thermal coal, fell by half between 2012 and 2016.

Fortunately, Ordosi still has many advantages today: cheap labor, sufficient land resources, and the most important point is cheap electricity. This allows Ordosi to openly accept all kinds of new industries and transform into a hotbed of the new economy.

One of the new visitors is Bitcoin.

The market value of this borderless digital currency is now worth tens of billions of dollars and continues to rise. With such a rise, Bitcoin has attracted the attention of many governments, banks, and small entrepreneurs - Bitcoin is expected to become a new type of digital gold.

Today, Ordosi has developed into a large Bitcoin mining center.

A general mining pool uses megawatts of electricity every hour, which is basically equivalent to the electricity consumption of 12,000 households within an hour. Even if there is a discount, the company will have to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of electricity on electricity bills every day.

Most of the electricity in Ordosi is provided by surrounding coal-fired plants. Although coal-fired power generation has a certain impact on the environment, it can provide stable and continuous electricity.

For Ordosi people, producing Bitcoin is like gambling.

Many workers only know that Bitcoin is a virtual currency, similar to stocks, and it has both rises and falls.

In the world of Bitcoin, time is money.

Every 10 minutes or so, the mining machine will determine a winner by solving mathematical problems. According to the Bitcoin system, the winner can win 12.5 bitcoins. This competition process is similar to guessing the password of a safe, and its password combination has billions of possibilities. The miner who can guess the right combination can unlock the safe first. In this case, the more machines you have, the greater the possibility of winning Bitcoin.

Bitcoin miners are creating nearly seven million dollars in value every day at their current market prices.

A research report released by the Alternative Finance Center of the University of Cambridge shows that more than half of the world's large Bitcoin mining pools are currently in China.

Therefore, in Bitcoin, a new industry that is expected to change the form of international transactions, China has become a dominant force.

Liu Yanyan provided several Bitcoin companies on the information.

Ximing locked in Ordosi's first mining pool.
