Ten days later.

"The 3102nd debugging of the 11 signal segments has begun, and new text information is being generated..."

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

"The build failed and the 3103rd debug begins. ”

Soon, Guan Ju gave a frustrated answer, announcing that a code-breaking effort had failed.

Fortunately, the super-intelligent system does not know what discouragement is, so even after more than 3,000 failures, it still enters the next debugging experiment in an orderly manner.

Defeated and defeated, the more frustrated the more courageous.

"The 5278th debugging has started and new text messages are being generated. ”

"Generate a new text message 'track', this debugging is successful!" Guan Ju's voice was no longer as quiet as water, and suddenly became excited, "Ding Sheng, the 011 signal segment has come out, and this time it seems to be a complete phrase." ”

"Don't be too busy rejoicing and get ready for calibration. ”

Compared with Guan Ju, Ding Sheng is much calmer.

Before the first joint meeting, the global joint decipherment team divided all the received extraterrestrial signals into 100 frequency bands of 00~99, of which the "outpost" that has been deciphered is the 00 signal band.

Led by Tony Stark, Ding Sheng's "Signal Decipher" expanded on this basis has not rested for a single second for 72 hours since it was launched three days ago, but the harvest is not as much as expected.

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

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

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

Provided, of course, that this result can pass the calibration procedure without any problems.

Ten minutes later.

"The calibration is complete, and it is confirmed. Guan Ju gave the final answer.

Hearing this result, Ding Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a pen on the workbench, and solemnly wrote the words "11-track" on an A4 piece of 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, and at this pace, you should know what it means. Ding Sheng replied.

"The order of the linguistic and written information represented by the extraterrestrial signal presents a certain 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 decipherment of the entire extraterrestrial signal in three months.

"I thought, 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... You mean, you're going to go to Mr. Stark again?" Guan Ju quickly guessed an idea.

Ding Sheng shook his head and said, "The two worlds have complete commonality in terms of 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 at Marvel?" Guan Ju asked.

"Uh... Frankly, if it weren't for Thanos' light, I wouldn't even have had a chance to meet Mr. Stark. "Ding Sheng was too frank and heart-wrenching.

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

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

"Them. ”

Joint Research Institute, Chief Laboratory.

While each country has temporary labs in Hawaii, in most cases, elite decipherment teams from each country gather in the lead lab with the best working environment to facilitate work and academic communication.

When Ding Sheng came here, everyone was concentrating on the task at hand.

On a huge screen on the other side, there are 10X10 a total of 100 smart squares in a square column, and a small green flag is inserted in the square in the upper right corner, if it weren't for the word "outpost" next to the flag, Ding Sheng would think that this is an enlarged version of the classic game Minesweeper.

What is embarrassing is that 10 days have passed since the last joint meeting, and there is still only one green flag in the 100 squares.

This means that all the teams of the deciphering team have not been able to decipher the second set of signal segments so far.

Ding Sheng didn't think too much, walked to the big screen by himself, and reached out to touch the intelligent control console.

"Welcome, Dr. Ding Sheng from Huaxia. ”

The intelligent console has built-in information to decipher the palm prints of all members of the team, and the young man is identified at once.

The electronic sound from the console immediately attracted a lot of attention from the chief laboratory, and the researchers put down their work and looked this way.

Everyone present understood that the operator station was set up to facilitate the timely publication of signal decipherment answers.

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

Soon, everyone gathered in front of the console, including a big guy like Academician Shen Heng, and when he saw that the person on the stage was really Ding Sheng, his face was full of incredulity.

Although the Huaxia decipherment team was led by Academician Shen Heng, it was personally formed by President Song Lizhang.

Ding Sheng is also well-known in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he is the beloved disciple of Dean Song, so after coming 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 a number of international patents, these are different things from deciphering alien signals, and Ding Sheng is unwilling to study with the team, Academician Shen Heng basically didn't have any special expectations for him, and after arranging a separate laboratory, he went with him.

Now, it seems, there seems to be a surprise.

This kind of large-scale pretending scene of one person standing on the stage and a group of researchers standing in the audience, but no one made any extra sound, everyone was waiting for Dr. Ding Sheng to type in the answer.

For such a famous scene, Ding Sheng was already surprised, calmly activated the No. 03 square, and entered the word "star".

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

Immediately, researchers who are fluent in multiple Chinese languages acted as interpreters for those around them.

Hearing the discussion in the audience, Ding Sheng realized that there was a language switch next to the console, and immediately clicked on one, and this word was immediately translated into multiple major languages and displayed in the box together.

"I've uploaded the decipherment process to the post-calibration library. ”

The words fell, and without the slightest hesitation, Ding Sheng confidently planted a small green flag in the square.

Immediately, the chief laboratory erupted in fierce cheers.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Ding Sheng did not stop, and he activated square 14 again.

"He's... Deciphered two sets of signal segments?"

Finally, some researchers couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Soon, the decipherment program was submitted, and square 14 was planted with a small flag.

Then, there is the number 77.

"Three groups!"

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

"You all stand firm for me, I just got the news that he is the only one in Dr. Ding Sheng's decipherment team. ”

“......”

"Academician Shen, Dr. Ding won't be Hu Biao's answer, right?" said a decipherer who was also from Huaxia beside Shen Heng.

It's not that this person's mouth is broken, it's really Ding Sheng's three consecutive blows that are too unbelievable.

"Dean Song said that the reason why Huaxia was able to learn about the alien signal for the first time was because of him. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that he's Ding Sheng. ”

As an astronomer, Shen Heng had no contact with Ding Sheng before, but it was difficult for him not to hear of this person.

Now it seems that it lives up to its reputation.

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

However, Ding Sheng is still continuing...

Box 11 activates.

Orbit.

This is the second phrase after 'outpost'.

As you can imagine, this is a very useful piece of information.

"The project of deciphering extraterrestrial signals is really huge, and the power of one person is small after all, these days I have developed a signal decipher, I hope everyone can participate, and strive to complete the signal decipherment work in the shortest possible time, this decipher uses..."

After showing his skills, Ding Sheng struck while the iron was hot and began to explain the advanced decipherment mechanism of the signal decipher, and as the explanation gradually deepened, everyone gradually found that the set of signal decipherers brought by Ding Sheng was simply not too good.

In contrast, the decipherment program of the chief laboratory, which is known as the world's strongest assembly number, is simply a pager in the era of smartphones.

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

Academician Wharton, like Academician Shen Heng, is basically the two main persons in charge with the highest authority in the joint decipherment team.

"Not fast enough. Ding Sheng shook his head.

In his opinion, the combination of signal decryptor + thousands of elite decipherers is undoubtedly a powerful force that can be completely faster.

"Half a year isn't fast enough?"

Academician Wharton was a little surprised, knowing that the previous estimate of the optimistic period was three years, which was six times shorter.

"How long does Dr. Nadine expect?"

Ding Sheng had already thought about this question, and his ideal time was fifty days.

According to Catherine's previous calculation, the outpost will arrive in the solar system after eighty days, and it is necessary to leave at least a month's buffer time for the Earth, regardless of whether the other party is friend or foe.

"Five..."

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

"Five days!"

As the voice fell, Catherine hurried through the crowd to Ding Sheng, and said in a low voice, "I deduced and simulated the gravitational lensing effect on the outpost's movement monitoring, and the previous outpost coordinates were just a virtual image, and we only had five days. ”

...

Temporary labs.

“... So, instead of using the warp engine we imagined to be moving faster than light, the outpost is moving using space jumps?"

According to physical terms such as "cosmic strings", "virtual images", "gravitational lensing", and "light distortion", Ding Sheng quickly summarized Catherine's words.

"Yes, a real outpost will arrive at a jump point in five days. So in five days, are you sure to decipher the signal?" it was not difficult to see from Catherine's expression that she also knew that this request was difficult for a strong man.

"Hardly possible. Ding Sheng shook his head.

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

"Compared to the small outpost, the virtual image of the galaxy cluster is a normal observable target, and no one but you can correct the virtual image in such a quick time. ”

Catherine can't be blamed for this, but she is using the wisdom of an earthling to fight against a civilization with space jumping technology.

"Besides, it almost doesn't mean absolutely, there are signal breakers to cover it, as long as there are enough people, there are opportunities. ”

At the same time, Ding Sheng began to calculate how many people it would take to complete the project in less than five days.

"You mean to continue to recruit decipherers around the globe to get more people involved?" asked Catherine.

"Yes, the more the merrier. ”
