Chapter 169: The Hand of Death

And what interests Hua Feng the most in these days of exploration is the "Hand of Death" that may have caused the current outcome of mankind. ”

Its full name is the "Dead Hand System", also known as the "Limb System", and its official name is Pe

, some people call it Me

tvayaRuka / Hand of Death.

This is an automated nuclear counterattack system first established by the Soviet Union in the early 80s during the Cold War, and then joined by other nuclear powers, and is also a major component of nuclear binding. But as with the nuclear bundle itself, its very existence is in doubt.

The Dead Hand system is designed to automatically attack a pre-set target in the event that the head of state, the command organ, and the grassroots operators directly carrying out the nuclear counterattack are eliminated or lost, regardless of whether the target is the attacker or not.

In other words, once a country is destroyed by a saturation nuclear strike, and the central decision-making capability and nuclear counterattack capability are destroyed or paralyzed by a nuclear attack, the "dead hand system" will automatically issue a nuclear code and nuclear strike command to launch a saturation nuclear strike against all nuclear-armed countries and even conventional industrial countries in the world.

This will further induce the dead-handed system of other nuclear powers, resulting in a full-scale nuclear war covering the whole world, and further ensure that there is no third-party beneficiary in a nuclear war, so as to avoid an excessively large power gap between the surviving powers after a nuclear war.

A strong nuclear arsenal and a mature nuclear counterattack capability can build a Dead Hand system, and the triggering of the Dead Hand system requires the destruction of the country by a saturation nuclear strike and the loss of the ability to manually execute a nuclear counterattack, so any nuclear fraud of a limited scale cannot trigger the death hand system of a nuclear power.

The system is connected to the national nuclear arsenal and can automatically assign targets for strike. The system does not distinguish between the target of the attack and the target, but only follows the predetermined procedure.

For example, if a country launches a nuclear assault on the head and command of Russia, the "dead hand system" will be activated, which will definitely trigger a global nuclear war. Because most of the targets of Russian nuclear bombs are targets in the United States, this will inevitably lead to a global nuclear counterattack by the United States.

If conditions permit, the Dead Hand system can be activated automatically without any human involvement, and even if the entire country is devastated, it can still activate itself according to the predetermined procedure. Today, the dead-hand system of the nuclear powers has become an extreme means of repression to prevent the outbreak of a nuclear war, and under the pressure of nuclear bondage, the outbreak of a nuclear war would mean the destruction of the world.

The Dead Hand system is usually dormant, and it only monitors the data collected by the major monitoring stations covering the country, and collects important parameters such as earthquakes/radiation/atmospheric flow from all over the country to determine whether a full-blown saturation nuclear strike has occurred. There is also usually an emergency switch to completely shut down the entire Dead Hand system if necessary.

When a country is hit with a full-scale saturation nuclear strike, the nationwide monitoring data will change dramatically, which will awaken the Dead Hand system and enter readiness mode, and the nuclear counterattack program will then enter a semi-active state, but it will still not have the right to launch nuclear bombs, but will try to get in touch with the country's main leaders and the central command.

If effective communication with the leader is not available within a certain period of time, it means that the country may have lost the highest decision-making capacity, and the relevant authority for the nuclear counterattack will be transferred to the command and operator of the nuclear counterattack in the nuclear hub, who will make the next decision.

If the Dead Hand system still fails to get in touch with enough operators, it means that the country has lost its conventional nuclear counterattack capabilities, and all manual decision-making has failed, which also means that the country has lost all its territory.

In the initiation phase of nuclear bundling, since any human decision-making ability has been lost, the relevant authority for nuclear counterattack will eventually be transferred to the Dead Hand system. After the final confirmation of the Dead Hand system based on the relevant data, it will launch a global nuclear counterattack against all nuclear-armed countries and even industrial countries.

After other nuclear powers are hit by a saturation nuclear strike, it is very likely that this process will be repeated, which will eventually lead to a chain reaction of nuclear bundling, and then turn into a global nuclear war, which is the end of the world. What the Dead Hand system has to do at this point is to ensure that any great power is destroyed, and to avoid a post-war reversal of power between our survivors and other nations.

(The total time from the de-dormancy of the Dead Hand system to the final activation is expected to be about 15~30 minutes, and the overall triggering of the global nuclear bundle is about two hours)

We can take a simple example: country A has nuclear weapons, but its nuclear strike capabilities are not strong enough to cover its potential enemy, country D – a power that also possesses nuclear weapons.

As a result, country A sets its nuclear bindings to countries B and C – within the range that their nuclear weapons in country A can hit, even though they have very friendly relations with country A.

When war breaks out between country D and country A, if D relies on his strength to launch a nuclear bomb on A. At this time, although A's nuclear weapons will not be able to hit D, according to its strategy of "nuclear bundling", A will launch all its limited nuclear bombs into B and C, thus dragging B and C into a nuclear war.

If countries B and C also develop a nuclear bundling strategy that suits their own strengths, more countries will be involved in a nuclear war, which will lead to a full-scale nuclear war in the world and a nuclear war that will destroy the world.

Therefore, the purpose of nuclear bundling is to:

1. In the event of a nuclear war, all nuclear states will be dragged into a nuclear war;

2. In the light of article 1, nuclear Powers (especially nuclear Powers) will not readily use nuclear weapons in the event of war;

3. As a result of Article 2, all other nuclear States will actively mediate in the event of a possible nuclear war, rather than sit idly by;

4. Since the Dead Hand system indiscriminately attacks all nuclear-armed countries, even any industrial country, it prevents any third party from profiting from a nuclear war.

And some time later, he began to take an interest in extraterrestrial civilizations that were once very interesting to humans.

It's not uncommon to see sparkling flying saucers falling from the sky, and then out of them are green-skinned, big-eyed dwarfs who say "We are here for peace" (of course, there are those who want to destroy the earth without saying hello).

In reality, flying saucers have always been the focus of newspaper attention, or rather, a fashion. Martin Gardner's quote describes the situation perfectly: "When everybody sees a flying saucer, of course you want to see it yourself." ”

So there are all kinds of flying saucers and aliens: flying saucers like straw hats, flying saucers like cigars, flying saucers like cakes, green aliens, red aliens, kidnappers aliens, thief aliens (who specialize in stealing the organs of animals on the pasture), and aliens who waste food (the "crop circle" hoax).

However, none of this can be trusted. When we look to these phenomena for extraordinary evidence, we find that most of them can be attributed to human flying machines, balloons, natural phenomena, eyewitness hallucinations, and outright hoaxes. And the remaining cases do not provide strong evidence that they are alien spacecraft.

And it is also inappropriate to think of UFOs as flying saucers of aliens. Any "unidentified" object you see can be called a UFO, such as the lid of a trash can that your neighbor threw down on the 21st floor (interestingly, some of the "flying saucer" photos were faked with similar objects).

There have been strange circles in some wheat fields in England that look like intricate patterns. Could these be the signals left by the visiting aliens? After investigation, it was found that most of them were pranks by some people, but those who were keen on them still had a great curiosity about it. However, soon after in Chilbolto, Hampshire, England

Two patterns were again found in the wheat field near the observatory, one of which was a face, which many people said resembled the image of aliens in movies and television. The other is a modified pattern of the Arecivo message launched to the M13 globular cluster in November 1974.

The information contains all the elements that we estimate will be of interest to us humans as part of any possible extraterrestrial civilization, including: our location (in the solar system), what our humans look like, a simple sketch of the astronomical telescope that transmits the signal, and a few fragments of our ecological structure.

The circles in the wheat fields found in Hampshire resemble the one teleported in 1974. But there is a difference: a simple sketch of an astronomical telescope with no propagating signal in the pattern found in Hampshire is replaced by a man-made space satellite that looks like solar energy, and the diagram depicting our solar system, although it still has the original eight planets, has deviated from planets 3 to 5, and the last one has become larger.

There is almost zero chance that the cycle in the wheat field is left behind by aliens, but so far, there is not enough evidence that this is all man-made. What exactly this is going on remains to be seen.

Scientists at the SETI Institute are increasingly optimistic that they will be able to find signals from the universe to prove that we humans are not alone in the vastness of the universe. Recent developments have increasingly convinced them of their views. Optimistically, it is possible that in the near future we will be able to find evidence that we are not alone in the universe.

In fact, scientists believe that the claim that an extraterrestrial civilization has visited and is still monitoring humans near Earth is not credible.

It has been calculated that if there are 1 million civilizations in the galaxy and only one spaceship reaches Earth every year, then there are about 10 billion ships launched every year in the entire galaxy, and the metal required to build these ships is about 1% of all metal reserves in the galaxy.

In other words, a civilization can only reach the possibility of visiting us if it gives everything it has, and the possibility of a man-made object like the Voyager being discovered by another civilization is essentially negligible.

This conclusion may be very disappointing, and the excitement of flying saucers and aliens has all come to naught. You may accuse me of shattering some people's dreams, but there is more exciting and serious scientific research in the world: scientists who disdain the legends of flying saucers and extraterrestrials, have been scientifically searching for signs of extraterrestrial life.
