末日机器是科幻作家和阴谋论者所着迷的一种能毁灭世界的可怕武器,一直以来被认为是纯粹的幻想。但事实上,苏联确实制造过这样一种武器。目的在于保证苏联能够对美国的核打击予以还击。即使美国发动突袭,摧毁了克里姆林宫和苏联国防部,干掉了每一位军队高官,这套末日系统依然能够感测到灾难发生,启动还击。这套系统的正式名字叫Perimeter,也有人叫它“死亡之手”。 The doomsday machine, a scary weapon that is fueled by science fiction writers and conspiracy theorists, has long been considered purely illusory. But in fact, the Soviet Union did create such a weapon. The purpose is to ensure that the Soviet Union can counterattack the U.S. nuclear strike. Even if the United States launched a surprise attack that destroyed the Kremlin and the Soviet Defense Ministry and killed every senior military officer, the Doomsday system could still detect the disaster and start a counterattack. The official name of the system is called Perimeter, some people call it “hand of death ”.
