Chapter 46: The Dead Hand System
Zheng Riqiang nodded, pretending to be calm and said: Yes.
In fact, the so-called "dead hand system", they have no bottom in their hearts, and if they have to say that there is, it is also very far-fetched.
At that time, I could only blurt out.
Regarding the "dead hand system", Zheng Riqiang understood it very early.
Zheng Riqiang likes to listen to the radio, a habit he has been doing since he was in high school.
At that time, he still liked to be alone, and listening to the radio was a pastime.
At that time, he was told that since 1973, there was a radio station in Russia, and for 40 years, it constantly sent messages to the world, 25 "didi" beeps per minute, each of which did not exceed 1 second.
Such a dull and monotonous message, played 24 hours a day, until the landing on Mars, and now it is still running.
If you have a shortwave radio at home, no matter what style it is or where you are on the planet, you can turn the frequency to 4625 kilohertz and you will receive a mysterious message.
If there is no sound, you can wait until the dead of night, or put the radio higher and more open, and you can hear the mysterious "beep" sound.
Curiously, this mysterious radio station has remained unclaimed for decades, both official and civil.
So much so that some people suspect that it is related to extraterrestrial civilizations, saying that these signals are likely to be the extraterrestrial civilizations we are looking for.
They believe that a mysterious radio station, which has been emitting this mysterious wireless signal for more than 40 years, may indicate that someone is silently protecting it from being found by humans?
However, there are also those who believe that it was the invention of the code telegraph for agents everywhere. It is even more believed that the purpose of the constant transmission of radio stations is not to transmit information to Soviet (Russian) agents, but to show their existence!
If it doesn't send messages anymore (without beeps) one day, it doesn't exist – the pre-programmed program starts to start.
This is the "Hand of Death System" that is well-known in the nuclear weapons world, and its official name is "Automated Nuclear Counterattack System".
The system works like this: if the head of state is eliminated or lost contact with the enemy, then the system will automatically implement a preset nuclear counterattack program, and the target of the strike will not be the attacker, but will launch a nuclear bomb to deliver an indiscriminate nuclear strike on the whole world......
Intelligence experts believe that this "ghost radio" is the embodiment of the "Dead Hand system".
The nonsensical messages constantly sent on the radio will be picked up by automatic instruments in the missile bases everywhere to prove that the state still exists. If one day the radio stops sending messages indicating that the country has been destroyed, nuclear missiles will probably fly around the world.
Once the Dead Hand system is activated, the nuclear system goes into prep mode and the associated nuclear counteraction procedures are activated.
Once the "Dead Hand System" is activated, the whole world will have to follow suit.
Of course, it is difficult to say whether nuclear weapons will operate in Mars or not.
In the absence of the discovery of Martians, some people speculated that Mars may have given birth to an advanced civilization a billion years ago, but it was dying out due to frequent wars.
Perhaps they are falsely claiming that a nuclear war is a solar flare.
In Hoan's mouth, the Mars of the old days had forests, rushing streams, blue skies and free animals.
And now, Martians can only live in the underground castle of Mars.
We often hear the story that the nuclear weapons possessed by humanity could destroy the planet dozens of times.
Actually, no, it is to concentrate the nuclear weapons of all countries now, and the yield is less than 800 billion tons of Z medicine.
Even if you launch all the nuclear weapons in the world, the earth will not be finished, that is, the human race will be extinct, and after countless years, the earth will once again return to the original world.
In 2004, the total energy released by the Indian Ocean tsunami was equivalent to 4.75 billion tons of Z-drug.
65 million years ago, the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, when it hit the earth, its explosion was equivalent to 100 trillion tons of Z-drug.
But is the Earth destroyed?
No! Just formed a scar on the earth.
Rather, the dinosaurs were exterminated.
If the nucleus is introduced to Mars, will it lead to the extinction of Martians? Perhaps, for the Martians, nuclear weapons are an artillery battle in the hands of the earthlings.
However, even if Zheng Riqiang does not have a "dead hand system" in his hands, there is one thing that is relatively close, and that is bacteria.
One of their missions was to put methylbacilli, cyanobacteria and an unknown bacterium into Martian soil in order to modify Mars.
Methylbacillus is a G-bacillus with both methyltrophic and methane trophic properties, and can also be used as a carbon source and energy source from glucose or other complex nutrients.
There are also cyanobacteria. As we all know, plants can absorb sunlight and release oxygen. However, in addition to plants, there is actually a kind of microorganism that also produces such photosynthesis, and that is cyanobacterial bacteria.
Earlier, scientists identified four species of bacteria on eight surfaces on the International Space Station, three of which belong to new species of the genus Methylbacterium. It is believed that these bacteria are very suitable for growing on Mars.
Their study also found that a salt in Martian soil could be converted into breathable air for an as-yet-unnamed bacterium. Their genetically engineered organisms can convert perchlorate into oxygen.
However, that was based on the fact that there was no living life on Mars, and now, having discovered the Martians, they had to postpone the plan.
However, Zheng Riqiang still has an extra heart, no matter where he goes, he carries this bacteria with him.
Thankfully, the Martians didn't kill the bacteria when they destroyed the vehicle.
Of course, Zheng Riqiang did not dare to release this bacterium on Mars, after all, the consequences are unpredictable.
In 2008, a science fiction movie called "Alien Fungi" was released on Earth.
It's a story about microbes invading the planet.
The earth is tossed to pieces by bacteria.
If microorganisms are released on Mars, will it upset the ecological balance of Mars? Serious consequences? Is that an invisible "dead hand system"?
After all, this kind of thing is the earth's caution.
An example is about the Apollo moon landing.
At that time, the Americans spent 11 years to complete six manned lunar landings, and also brought the lunar soil back to Earth for research, but they still carefully and rigorously isolated the soil, and even the astronauts who landed on the moon.
Because it is difficult for them to guarantee that there are no microorganisms in the lunar soil, and if there are any, then it will bring a huge blow to the earth.
Fortunately, these microbes were not released to Mars.
I don't know if this is the "dead hand system" in Zheng Riqiang's hands.
John Sun asks: Tell us, what hole cards do you have?
Zheng Riqiang said: No comment, I can't tell you!
Life is like this, if you easily expose your hole cards, there will be no hole cards, there will be no way back. It is wise not to show the bottom easily at any time, it is self-preservation, and it is a strategy.
