We Live In Nanjing

  Chapter 24 When you received this letter, I was dead

  That night, the time capsule bought on Taobao arrived.

The brown paper box, stuffed with white pearl cotton that cushions vibrations, looks a bit like a thermos bottle when it is disassembled. The cylinder, shiny stainless steel shell, is actually much stronger than the bottle. It is twenty centimeters long and almost eight or nine centimeters in diameter. It stands about the height of a mineral water bottle. It has lids on both sides, and each lid is tightened with eight bolts.

  As the time capsule comes with two wrenches and a shovel, it can be said to be fully equipped, from covering the coffin to nailing to the soil.

Use a wrench to unscrew all the bolts on one side and take off the cover. You can see that the rubber sealing ring is pressed under the cover and the empty interior. The volume in the time capsule is only 0.6 liters. Place it in the middle of the forearm.

  This is the smallest time capsule. The bigger one costs more than 80 yuan, and the largest one costs more than 200 yuan. The white poplar is too poor to afford it.

  Can this thing really be buried in the ground for twenty years?

  Poplar tapped the shell of the time capsule lightly, the smooth stainless steel reflected the light, and then squeezed it hard, and it was firm.

   is not a can.

He suspects that this thing is made of a section of thick seamless steel pipe. Cut a ten-centimeter-diameter stainless steel pipe into many sections. Each section can be made into a time capsule. You only need to buckle a cover on each side and screw it on with a bolt. , The structure is quite simple, and there is no black technology.

  Good guy, this thing is going to be sold for sixty-eight, this money is really good.

  Bai Yang thought that if he couldn't find a job in the future, he would sell time capsules on Taobao.

Starting from today, 21 years from now will be the era of BG4MSR-if she really lived in that era, according to the girl, the earth will encounter a catastrophic disaster in the past 20 years, and all humans will Extinct in this catastrophe, it is difficult for Poplar to imagine what kind of catastrophe could completely destroy the entire human civilization, the flood in the "Bible"? This is not the case when an asteroid hits the earth.

He weighed the slightly heavy stainless steel capsule in his hand, not sure whether this capsule would be able to withstand the past. The time capsule manufacturer probably only designed it as a playful souvenir, and didn't think that it would be responsible for protecting the relics of human civilization. Responsible, resist the super disaster that destroys the world and destroys the earth.

  But this is already the best equipment Bai Yang can get.

  What should I put in this capsule?

  Because the volume is quite limited, there are not many items that can be put in—except for the tritium tube used as a time indicator, Bai Yang hopes to put something useful in it.

  He sat in a chair and looked around.

food?

  Such a small capsule, you can’t even hold a few compressed biscuits. The cup noodles can be placed in two buckets at most. Master Kong’s Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles can’t fit in a bucket.

for drink?

  It’s even more impossible. The liquid is not easy to preserve. If it leaks, even the capsule will have to be followed, and the opponent is not short of water. Bai Yang shook his head.

  Drugs? The doomsday world should be short of medicine.

   "Mom——! Where is the medicine at home?" Bai Yang got up and put on slippers, stepped on the wooden floor and opened the door, shouting into the living room.

   "Under your bed." Mom was sitting on the sofa watching TV, "What are you going to do for medicine?"

   "Xiao Di."

Poplar pulled out a plastic basket from the bottom of the bed. Inside the basket were the home-stocked medicines, including cooling oil, fengyoujing, dexamethasone ointment, floxacin, cefixime, ibuprofen and amoxicillin. Put the medicine in a plastic bag, and then stuff it into the time capsule, which is just right.

  Okay, just give her some medicine.

   Make her suffer.

Poplar is very satisfied. The finished drugs produced by the modern pharmaceutical industry are in a fairly stable state. Although the instructions indicate the validity period of 12 or 36 months, they can be stored as long as they are stored in the dark, not immersed in water, and not affected by high temperatures. After many years, it should still be usable when it is taken out 20 years later.

  Besides time indicator and medicine, what else do you need?

  Bai Yang looked at the remaining volume in the time capsule, then took out a fruit hard candy of unknown year from the drawer under the desk and threw it in.

  Send another candy.

  You can't just suffer, you have to give a bit of sweetness.

  Finally, a sense of ritual is needed, and a letter should be written.

   So Bai Yang took out a piece of white letter paper, unscrewed the pen cap, hesitated for a few seconds, and then wrote down on the paper:

  "Dear Miss BG4MSR:

  When you read this letter, I am already dead. "

  These words seem to be the last words of the hero who saved the world alone in the movie to his family and friends before the final battle. It is a little bold and unexpected.

  Of course, according to the girl, she is indeed dead twenty years later, and there is only one person left in the world.

"This is a letter from the dead. It has passed through twenty years of long time and reached your hand. When I wrote this letter, you might not have been born yet, and when you received this letter, I am no longer alive.

  What does a person’s world look like? An unoccupied Confucius Temple, Xinjiekou, China Southern Airlines High School and Crescent Lake Park, and an unoccupied Nanjing, there must be no college entrance examination, no math test papers, and no "small questions."

  In addition, I really want to know how I died. If you receive this letter, I hope you can tell me the cause of my death and the cause of death of other people, if you know it. "

Writing to the future man, this matter is outrageous, but Bai Yang remembered that the great scientist Hawking had done a similar performance art. In 2009, he opened a future man party. Hawking secretly chose a room as the meeting place. , But the party announcement is only issued the day after the party ends-if the future person has the ability to shuttle time, they will be able to arrive at the party venue the day before the announcement.

  As a result, there is no doubt that Hawking stayed in that room all night. I don’t know if the future man has no ability to travel through time and space, or the future man did not see Hawking’s announcement. Then, can Bai Yang’s letter be received by the future man?

"——Of course, if my cause of death is too miserable, I hope you will consider it and don’t tell me too bluntly, so as not to cause too much mental pressure on me. Twenty years later, I will not be forty years old. The thought of the world will be I deeply deplore the loss of such a young and promising person.

  I wish you good health, never forget to bring an umbrella when you go out in the rain, and never catch **** when you eat yellow braised chicken, 73. "

  White Yang paused, and finally signed:

   "The BG4MXH that is in communication with you at this moment, 20 years ago."

  When the tritium tube arrived, he sealed the letter together with the tritium tube into the time capsule.

   Then bury it underground and let it wait for twenty years.
