Marvel's Return of the Inventor

Outpost?

Literally speaking, it can be understood as becoming the pioneer base of a certain field or organization.

Such as an outpost set up by aliens.

Slowly, whispers began to fill the conference hall, and most researchers were developing certain assumptions about this term.

For a time, various conjectures emerged one after another.

However, no matter how good the team in the lobby is, no matter how good the analysis is, it will be futile with just such a small amount of information.

Judging from the total number of non-repetitive extraterrestrial signals collected so far around the world, the deciphering team initially estimates that after deciphering these messages, they will at least be a piece of message text with complete meaning.

So everyone soon understood that it would not make much sense to make too many unnecessary assumptions based only on the three words "outpost".

It even directly put the cart before the horse in this deciphering task.

After this private discussion lasted for a few minutes, everyone became quiet and looked at Academician Shen Heng on the stage again.

"The joint committee reorganized everyone into deciphering teams based on their areas of expertise, and detailed deciphering tasks have been distributed to each team. This is the first time in human history that we have been exposed to extraterrestrial signals. What we will do next Just unite together and strive to overcome this problem within three years. Wish us good luck."

Next, there is the process of group assembly and distribution of tasks.

And the only problem is

three years?

Ding Sheng, who had been sitting in the corner of the back row, felt his head spin when he heard this time.

However, there was some relief in the moment. Judging from Academician Shen Heng's words "wish us good luck", I'm afraid that according to the current normal progress of the deciphering team, three years is already an optimistic and rapid estimate.

No way, the workload is too much.

The reason is very simple. The birth and perfection of a civilization's writing and language must have condensed the wisdom and efforts of countless sages. And the work of communicating between two civilizations through pulse signals is obviously much more complicated and difficult to create a kind of writing. Naturally, I went up.

But the fact is, we don’t have three years at all.

Looking at the firm gazes of all the codebreakers in the conference hall, Catherine, who knew the truth, had mixed feelings in her heart.

In three months at the latest, the source of the alien signal will arrive in the solar system, and the so-called outpost, if Catherine guessed correctly, should be the name of the source of the alien signal.

To summarize, it means that the outposts of alien civilizations are approaching the earth, and it takes more than ten times for humans to just decipher alien signals.

What a cruel truth this would be.

"Decoding must be accelerated."

"What can you do?" Ding Sheng, who was sitting nearby, obviously heard Catherine's murmur.

"No."

Catherine shook her head. She is a quantum physicist and a nanoscientist. She may have some academic background in astrophysics and various related fields, but this does not mean that she can decipher alien signals faster. .

Because humans have never had any contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, everyone present is actually trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. It is completely unrealistic to think of reaching the sky in one step.

Unless there is someone here who has had contact with extraterrestrial civilization, or has been to a world that has had contact with extraterrestrial civilization, and then happened to get a partial source code of the signal decipherer

That's right, it's me, Ding Sheng.

"I have a preliminary idea, which should be able to shorten this time." While Ding Sheng spoke, he had already asked Guan Ju to bring up the "Signal Decipher" archive again.

When he got the source code, Tony Stark had just made a start. Although the difficult part of everything at the beginning had been solved, Ding Sheng still had to solve the work other than the foundation. The workload was not small. .

"Do you need my help?" Catherine suddenly became interested.

"Do not."

Ding Sheng shook his head decisively.

It’s not that he’s hiding anything, but the main reason is that the main structure of the signal decipherer in his hand is written with the Marvel version of the code, which is slightly different from the program logic on Earth. It’s a bit of a hindrance to let others participate, and it’s not aimed at Catherine.

"Besides, there are more important things that you need to do." Ding Sheng added.

"Monitoring outpost movements?"

Catherine reacted immediately.

A large and cutting-edge deciphering team has been formed around the world, and Ding Sheng has participated in it. The lineup is unprecedented.

On the other hand, only two people knew that the outpost was approaching at super-light speed.

If you pay attention to this, you will lose the other.

"We need to have more information about outposts. This is something only you can do, and only you can do it well."

After saying that, Ding Sheng and Catherine briefly exchanged some details of the mission, and then each started the journey of the mission.

Mauna Kea Observatory, Chinese Team 017 Temporary Research Institute.

Ding Sheng found a computer and continued to work as a coder day and night.

"Guan Ju, according to my current speed, how long does it take to complete Mr. Stark's signal deciphering device?"

"The code part can only be typed hard. It is estimated that it will take about seven days to complete, and it can be completed within three days. However, to generate a complete decipherer, you also need to debug the monitoring and calibration parts. The duration is directly related to the difficulty of the alien signal. It’s hard to estimate.”

After Guan Ju collected this extraterrestrial signal into his own archives, he used a quantum computer to conduct some comprehensive analysis. The results were not much, almost zero.

"Okay, I'll try to buy as much time as possible."

As he spoke, Ding Sheng's finger speed increased by half a minute.

In fact, Ding Sheng also thought about traveling through time and space again and asking Mr. Stark to borrow the completed version of the signal decryptor. However, considering that he is in two completely different universes and the versatility of the decryptor is limited, it is impossible to debug and calibrate the completed version. It was even more of a waste of time, so I gave up the idea.

Moreover, given the complexity of time and space, Ding Sheng would not be willing to provoke him easily unless he had to.

-

England, London.

Disney's Marvel Studios super blockbuster "Avengers" is currently in theaters around the world, and the bfi cinema on the banks of the Thames has been basically full during this period.

Another movie started, and hundreds of people walked into the theater in an orderly manner, waiting for the movie to start.

At this moment, a young man who looked to be eleven or twelve years old and wearing a green robe entered the theater and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Hey, little brother, where did you buy this set of sexy equipment? The simulation is simply top-notch." A little brother couldn't help but ask.

The young man glanced at the man as if he were a fool, ignored him at all, and just found his own place to sit down.

The movie begins.

142 minutes later.

The movie is over.

"The Avengers assemble, it's so beautiful!"

"All the superheroes are so handsome!"

"The Hulk is so powerful!"

"Loki is awesome!"

After hearing the various conversations between the audience and the audience, the young man was so angry that his shoulders were shaking and he was gnashing his teeth.

"Hey, little brother, who do you think you are bad at, but Loki?"

"Yes, even if you don't resist the beating, you will be beaten to tears by the Hulk."

The male audience members said so.

"Little brother, don't listen to their nonsense. These rough guys don't understand anything. How handsome Loki is."

"That's right, focus on being alone."

Female viewers responded.

The young man among the crowd silently clenched his fists. Originally, only a few people from the Avengers knew about being beaten by the stupid Hulk, but now it's better.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that when I first came to this world, someone would make a movie like this to humiliate me."

The more you think, the more angry you are.

Unbearable, no need to endure.

"Kneel down, everyone!"

The boy finally got angry.

Everyone who heard this voice turned back to look at the little boy in the center of the crowd. Thinking of the plot in the movie, they couldn't help but smile.

I didn’t expect that this man is still a comedian despite his age.

"I said, kneel down!" the young man roared, "You were born like this. This is the unspoken truth of mankind. The temptation of freedom has deprived you of the happiness in life. You long to be enslaved, and you pursue power crazily. The pursuit of status is actually full of it in your bones.”

Snapped!

Before the boy could finish his speech that was full of bad habits, a big hand stretched out from the crowd, grabbed the boy's neck and lifted him up.

"The manager, that's him, he didn't buy the ticket!"

Once again, amidst countless strange looks, the young man struggled and was unceremoniously "invited" out by the theater security.

Sitting on a stone chair by the Thames River, the young man took out a blue cube from his arms and looked up at the sky, his eyes full of melancholy.

What the hell is this special place? The Rubik's Cube fails, the magic fails, and due to changes in time and space, my body changes back to when I was a child.

Tired.
