Marvel's Return of the Inventor

Ten days later.

"The 11nd debugging of signal segment 3102 has started and new text information is being generated"

In a laboratory at the Huaxia Temporary Research Institute in Hawaii, after Ding Sheng spent seven days completing the code work of the decipherer, he and Guan Ju began the deciphering work day and night.

"Build failed, 3103rd debugging started."

Soon, Guan Ju gave a frustrating answer, announcing that a code-breaking work had failed.

Fortunately, the super-intelligent system does not know what discouragement is, so even after more than three thousand failures, it still enters the next debugging experiment in an orderly manner.

Repeated defeats and battles, the more frustrated you are, the braver you become.

"The 5278th debugging has started and new text information is being generated."

"Generating new text information 'track', this debugging was successful!" Guan Ju's voice was no longer as calm as water, and suddenly became excited, "Ding Sheng, the result of the 011 signal segment is out, and this time it looks like it is A complete phrase.”

"Don't be too busy to be happy first, prepare for the calibration work."

Compared to classmate Guan Ju, Ding Sheng is much calmer.

Before the first joint meeting, the global joint deciphering team divided all received alien signals into a total of 00 frequency bands from 99 to 100. Among them, the "outpost" that has been deciphered is the 00 signal band.

The "Signal Decryptor" led by Tony Stark and developed on this basis by Ding Sheng has not rested for a second for a full seventy-two hours since it went online three days ago. However, the harvest was not as expected. so many.

To be more precise, there are only three groups of signal segments that have been officially deciphered through calibration.

Moreover, after these five sets of signals are converted into earth text, they are all single-byte.

As Guan Ju said, the result of the 11th signal segment this time is "orbit", which is the second phrase after "outpost".

Of course, the premise is that the result can successfully pass the calibration procedure.

ten minutes later.

"Calibration completed, confirmed." Guan Ju gave the final answer.

After hearing this result, Ding Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a pen on the workbench, and solemnly wrote the words "4 tracks" on a piece of A11 paper.

"You don't look happy." Guan Ju felt Ding Sheng's emotions.

"In three days, we have only cracked four sets of signal segments. According to this progress, you should know what it means." Ding Sheng replied.

"The order of the language and text information represented by the alien signal shows a certain degree of randomness, which makes it impossible for us to directly decipher the entire signal, and the complexity of each signal segment cannot be generalized, so"

Of course Guan Ju knew that this meant that it would be difficult to complete the deciphering of the entire alien signal in three months.

"I think we need help."

At this time, Ding Sheng didn't want to be a lone hero, he just wanted to solve the problem.

"Help? Wait, are you saying that you are going to find Mr. Stark again?" Guan Ju quickly guessed an idea.

Ding Sheng shook his head and said, "The two worlds have complete similarities in technology, but their respective cosmic civilizations are completely different. I don't think Mr. Stark can help us much."

"Then do you know any other more powerful characters in Marvel?" Guan Ju asked.

"Well, to be honest, if it wasn't for Thanos's glory, I wouldn't even have a chance to meet Mr. Stark." Ding Sheng was so honest that it hurt his heart.

"Okay, then who can we ask for help?" Guan Ju asked again.

Ding Sheng turned around, looked at the hurried figures in the corridor outside through the glass window of the laboratory, and smiled lightly.

"them."

Joint Research Institute, Chief Laboratory.

Although various countries have temporary laboratories in Hawaii, in most cases, elite deciphering teams from each country gather in the chief laboratory with the best working environment to facilitate work and academic exchanges.

When Ding Sheng arrived here, everyone was concentrating on the matter at hand.

On a huge screen on the other side, there are 10 smart squares of 10x100 squarely arranged. A small green flag is inserted in the square in the upper right corner. If it weren't for the words "Outpost" next to the flag, Ding Sheng would have thought this was an enlarged version of the classic game Minesweeper.

What is disappointing is that ten days have passed since the last joint meeting, and there is still only one green flag in the 100 squares.

This also means that all the teams in the deciphering team have not deciphered the second set of signal segments so far.

Ding Sheng didn't think too much. He walked to the big screen and reached out to touch the smart console.

"Welcome, Dr. Ding Sheng from China."

The smart console has built-in palmprint information of all members of the deciphering team, and the young man was immediately identified.

This electronic sound from the control console immediately attracted a lot of attention in the chief laboratory. The researchers put down their work and looked over.

Everyone present understood that the operation console was set up to facilitate the timely announcement of signal deciphering answers.

It's been ten days, has someone finally deciphered the second set of signals?

Soon, everyone gathered in front of the operating table, including many big guys like Academician Shen Heng. When he saw that the person on the stage was really Ding Sheng, his face was full of disbelief.

Although the Huaxia deciphering team is led by Academician Shen Heng, it was personally established by Dean Song Lizhang.

Ding Sheng is well-known in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is Dean Song's beloved disciple, so after he came to Hawaii uninvited, Academician Shen Heng directly arranged him into the deciphering team.

But having said that, even if Ding Sheng has multiple doctorates and multiple international patents, these are two different things from deciphering alien signals. In addition, Ding Sheng is unwilling to research with the team, and Academician Shen Heng basically has no feelings for him. With special expectations, after arranging a separate laboratory, I went with him.

Now it seems that there is a surprise.

It was a large-scale show-off scene with one person standing on the stage and a group of researchers standing off the stage, but no one made any unnecessary noise. Everyone was waiting for Dr. Ding Sheng to enter the answer.

Ding Sheng was already accustomed to such famous scenes, so he calmly activated square No. 03 and entered the word "star".

"This is the Chinese character '星', which means star."

Immediately there were researchers who were proficient in multiple languages ​​and acted as translators for those around them.

Hearing the discussion in the audience, Ding Sheng noticed that there was a language switch next to the console, and immediately clicked one. The word was immediately translated into multiple languages ​​and displayed in the grid.

"I have uploaded the specific deciphering process to the post-calibration library."

As soon as he finished speaking, without any hesitation, Ding Sheng confidently placed a small green flag in the square.

Immediately, fierce cheers erupted in the chief laboratory.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Ding Sheng did not stop and activated square No. 14 again.

"Did he decipher two sets of signal segments?"

Finally, one researcher could not help but open his mouth.

Soon, the deciphering program was submitted, and a small flag was placed on square No. 14.

Next, it’s No. 77.

"Three groups!"

"Dr. Ding Sheng's team is too strong!"

"You all stand still. The news I just received is that he is the only one in Dr. Ding Sheng's deciphering team."

""

"Academician Shen, Dr. Ding is not making up the answer, is he?" A codebreaker also from China said next to Shen Heng.

It's not that this person is arrogant, it's that Ding Sheng's three consecutive defeats are too unbelievable.

"Dean Song said that the reason why China was able to learn about alien signals immediately was because of him. Sometimes, we always tend to forget that he is Ding Sheng."

As an astronomer, Shen Heng had never had contact with Ding Sheng before, but it was hard for him not to have heard of this man.

Now it seems that it lives up to its reputation.

The chief laboratory, who was overwhelmed by the difficulty of deciphering, finally experienced an emotional catharsis. Everyone looked excitedly at the squares that were gradually lit up on the big screen, and their hearts became more determined.

However, Ding Sheng continued

Square 11 is activated.

track.

This is the second phrase after 'outpost'.

As you can imagine, this is very useful information.

"The project of deciphering extraterrestrial signals is really huge, and one person's power is ultimately small. These days, I have developed a signal decipherer. I hope everyone can participate and strive to complete this signal deciphering work in the shortest possible time. This set of Decryptor exploit"

After showing off his skills, Ding Sheng struck while the iron was hot and began to explain the advanced decoding mechanism of the signal decryptor. As the explanation gradually deepened, everyone gradually discovered that the set of signal decryptors brought by Ding Sheng was not very good at all.

In comparison, the deciphering program of the Chief Laboratory, which is known as the world's most powerful assembly code, is basically a pager in the smartphone era.

"Perfect, incredible, Amber Rivubo! With such a decipherer, I believe we will be able to deal with these annoying alien signals in less than half a year." Academician Wharton from the American team said.

Academician Wharton and Academician Shen Heng are basically the two main leaders with the highest authority in this joint deciphering team.

"Not fast enough." Ding Sheng shook his head.

In his opinion, the combination of thousands of elite decipherers in the signal decipherer is undoubtedly a powerful force and can definitely be faster.

"Half a year isn't fast enough?"

Academician Wharton was a little surprised. You must know that the previously estimated optimistic time was three years, which was shortened by six times.

"How long does Dr. Dinh expect?"

Ding Sheng has already thought about this problem. His ideal time is fifty days.

According to Catherine's previous calculation, the outpost will arrive in the solar system in eighty days. Regardless of whether the opponent is friend or foe, it is necessary to leave at least a month of buffer time for the earth.

"Fives"

Just as he was about to set the time limit of fifty days, a voice from the crowd interrupted Ding Sheng's speech.

"Five days!"

As the voice fell, Catherine quickly walked through the crowd and came to Ding Sheng. She whispered, "I simulated the gravitational lens effect based on the movement monitoring of the outpost. The previous coordinates of the outpost were just a virtual image. We only have five days." It’s time.”

Temporary laboratory.

"So, the outpost does not use the warp drive as we imagined to travel faster than light, but uses space jumps to move?"

Based on physical terms such as "cosmic strings", "virtual images", "gravitational lenses", "light distortion" and other physical terms, Ding Sheng quickly summarized Catherine's words.

"Yes, the real outpost will arrive at a jumping point in five days. So in five days, are you sure you can decipher the signal?" It is not difficult to see from Catherine's expression that she also knows that this request is too much.

"Almost impossible." Ding Sheng shook his head.

"It was my mistake. I was deceived by the virtual coordinates." Catherine was a little annoyed.

"Compared to tiny outposts, virtual images at the level of galaxy clusters are normal observable targets. No one can correct the virtual image in such a fast time except you."

Catherine cannot be blamed for this. She is using the wisdom of an earthling to fight against a civilization with space jumping technology.

"Besides, almost doesn't mean absolute. There are signal decipherers who have the bottom line. As long as there are enough people, there is a chance."

At the same time, Ding Sheng began to calculate how many people would be needed to complete the project within five days.

"You mean to continue to recruit codebreakers around the world and let more people participate?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, the more the better."
