Die on Mars - Chapter 229
c228 Day 332 (3) Letter Paper
Tang Yue silently took the envelope and opened it.
There was a folded piece of A4 paper in the envelope. What the old cat said was indeed true. This is the most common and common white paper, which can be found everywhere on the earth.
But when it appeared outside the Kunlun Station on Mars, it was the most abnormal thing in the world.
Tang Yue unfolded the manuscript paper and turned on the LED lighting on the Mingguang Armor helmet. There were neatly printed Chinese characters on the letter paper, still in Song style.
“Dear Earth citizen Mr. Tang Yue:
Hello.
First of all, please allow us to express our sincerest apologies to you. Due to the operational errors of the rail transit construction personnel, the injection energy was accidentally offset by 10∧-17 arc seconds, resulting in a total of 7,840 in the Laniakea complex. The instant annihilation of ninety-six thousand three hundred and twenty-two stars, and the instant evaporation of seven times this number of planets, verified that we have determined that the earth is one of the disaster-stricken planets.
After the accident, the employee responsible has declared to enter emergency procedures. This letter has been successfully sent during the second Planck time after the earth evaporated. Please be patient.
However, due to the unknown road conditions on the Second Ring Road, if there is traffic congestion during the rush hour, your receipt of this letter will be slightly delayed. Please understand that all notifications in this letter will be subject to your receipt time.
Dear Mr. Tang Yue, you have automatically become the legal owner and heir of the earth and all its associated appendages. The associated appendages include: all living things, all biological derivatives, all man-made things, and all man-made derivatives. For you If you suffer personal losses, you have the right to protect your legitimate rights and interests, file a lawsuit with the legal department, and apply for compensation.
Please be sure to go to the designated location within sixty days of receiving this letter. We will assist you in arranging a lawsuit against the offender and require it to compensate you for all losses in accordance with relevant regulations. ”
Below is a simple list of parameters, obviously geographical coordinates.
“88.2°E, 17.6°N.”
The final signature is:
“sincerely yours
Pan-three-dimensional industrial complex”

“This is impossible.” Tang Yue shook his head.
“This is already the twelfth impossibility you said.” Old Cat sat on the chair, “Don’t you have anything else to say?”
“This is impossible.” Tang Yue said.
“Thirteenth.”
Tang Yue raised the piece of letter paper to the light and squinted his eyes. It was really just an ordinary piece of paper.
He thought that he had survived all the storms and waves, and his mental endurance was strong enough to accept even the weirdest things. Even if there was a glowing little green man knocking on the door outside, he could calmly and calmly shake hands with it. This is a major meeting of historic significance and a great beginning of mutually beneficial cooperation between two races and two civilizations.
But there were no little green men or Avatars outside the door, just a small note.
The most common and ordinary object appeared in an impossible place in the most incredible and unimaginable way. This envelope was lying at the door of Kunlun Station as a matter of course. It appeared here blatantly, without hiding it. Hi, your attitude is so arrogant – I just want to tell you that my presence here is completely reasonable!
It was as if a postman had just opened the door of the airlock, gently placed the envelope on the floor, patted his clothes, turned around and went out, disappearing into the air as if it was a routine matter.
But this is Mars – oh my God, my Armstrong 360-degree spin, Father Armstrong, this damn place is the Isi Planitia on Mars.
Tang Yue was completely confused. He didn’t know whether the appearance of this letter was normal or abnormal.
“Old cat, give me a slap and let me see if it hurts.”
“Snapped!”
“Does it hurt?”
“Hiss—can’t you be gentler?”
The world was still more bizarre than he imagined.
If this was not on Mars, Tang Yue might have thought that this was a prank by some 250, but when he chased it out, he could only see the desolate plains. Without the protection of the bright light armor, a normal person could not survive being exposed to the outside world for five minutes.
“This is impossible.”
“The fourteenth.”
Tang Yue and Lao Mao sat in silence for more than an hour, their eyes focused on the letter and never moved away. The appearance of this thing was really shocking. Neither one of them knew what to say, and the questions in their minds were really overwhelming. There are so many that I don’t even know where to start.
“Isn’t this something you did?” Tang Yue asked in a low voice.
“Tell me how I sat in the hall knocking on the airlock door,” said the old cat.
Tang Yue and Lao Mao continued to be silent.
“If this letter is true—”
“I know it’s hard for you to believe this fact, but you can’t believe it any more than me…” The old cat stared at a pair of big eyes, showing helplessness and confusion. For the first time, he had doubts about his cat’s birth. , “But I can’t find any doubts about it. I can’t find any basis to overturn the nonsense in this letter. It’s too nonsense, it’s too nonsense, it’s just too nonsense! But I just can’t overturn it.”
Tang Yuexin said that you finally know what those who study quantum mechanics are thinking.
“Then what should we do?”
“Burn it!” The old cat said with a fierce look, “Burn it with fire and pretend that nothing happened. Then the universe will still be this universe, the world will still be this world, and human beings will still be this human being.”
Tang Yue was startled and snatched the envelope from the table. Lao Mao’s world view was devastated, and it was hard to say whether he would do anything extreme.
Completely destroy the evidence.
Then he buried his head in the dirt.
Then the universe is still the universe it thinks it is, and everything is logical.
“If what is said in this letter is true, then we will know the reason why the earth suddenly disappeared. When the road roller was rolling the road, it accidentally flattened the ant nest on the roadside.” Tang Yue said, his acceptance of the facts The speed is faster than the old cat. Anyway, he is alone now and has no worries. Even if the letter tells him that the universe will be destroyed tomorrow, he can take it calmly.
The old cat nodded.
The letter said that due to a certain construction operator’s handicap, the operation deviated by ten minus seventeen arc seconds, causing 78.49 million stars and 500 million planets to evaporate instantly – this tone The understatement is like “Oh, I’m sorry, I accidentally stepped on a few ants and killed them.” The earth is among these 500 million planets, and it is an innocent one. Along with it, there are four other planets that have disappeared from the world. 199.99 million.
No wonder Lao Mao’s world view collapsed.
“The key point is this…” Tang Yue read the content of the letter word for word, “Compensate for all your losses according to regulations. What does this sentence mean?”
“Literally, they say that you are now the only legal owner of the earth. The ant nest has been crushed. If you are the last surviving ant, they will pay you an ant nest. If the earth is destroyed, they will pay you an ant nest. Earth.” The old cat answered.
“Pay me the earth?”
“Not only will they pay you the earth…” Old Mao took the letter from Tang Yue and frowned, “They will also pay you seven billion people, an ecosystem, and tens of millions of tons of domestic waste. You have an Orion 1 spacecraft, and I will give you a Mars Joint Space Station.”
