Chapter 3416

For example, when exploring the temple, he wouldn't just think about exploring the temple. He would think about the Dark Elves' conspiracy, Roxxon's next move, Asgard's reaction to this, the countermeasures superheroes can find, etc.

If he just sat in the office and thought about these, he could quickly figure them out clearly. Then, like usual, suddenly skip the next step that should exist in normal logic, and perform some operations that no one can understand.

In fact, these operations are not untraceable, but nodes where many problem-solving methods intersect. Because it involves too many different things, bystanders have no way to know the whole picture, so they will feel inexplicable and can't understand what he is doing.

However, if you want to use straight-line thinking to solve one of the problems while thinking about different problems, and find the intersection of solutions, and then calculate the optimal solution, the amount of calculation will increase exponentially.

Because he himself participates in the solution of a certain problem, it will cause the situation of this problem to change constantly. And once this problem changes, other nodes have to change accordingly.

Originally, if Shiler didn't come, Stark and Peter definitely wouldn't choose to kill all the Dark Elves in this temple on Io. It's not that the two of them are kind-hearted, but that they wouldn't waste time here, and would withdraw after getting the evidence.

Then the losses they caused would basically be concentrated near the portal, which is that Roxxon suffered more severe losses. And the Dark Elves basically didn't suffer much impact.

And Shiler, who should have been sitting in the office, should also be able to infer this point through Stark and Peter's results. Then he could infer that Roxxon would definitely take this loss to negotiate terms with the Dark Elves. As long as he could create more trouble for Roxxon, they would open their mouths wide to the Dark Elves. Shiler could take this opportunity to create an opportunity for the cooperation between the two sides to break down.

But now he himself is involved, and the Dark Elves in the temple are all wiped out. Although the Dark Elves didn't go extinct in the last incident, they should have suffered a major blow, and they can't afford to lose manpower.

Shiler's participation will lead to the Dark Elves suffering losses they cannot accept. This will clearly cause the Dark Elves to change when making decisions later, and it is even possible to go to Roxxon to make trouble immediately, changing a series of subsequent plans for Jupiter.

Then the optimal solution thought out without Shiler's participation cannot be used, and another solution should be changed.

But changing to another solution for this matter will cause other nodes connected to this node to also change to another solution.

For example, regarding the skull of the Frost Giant King. This matter should actually be Asgard's responsibility, and it cannot be shirked by any excuses like biodiversity.

A piece of trash they threw over by mistake many years ago led to Roxxon and the Dark Elves cooperating, bringing losses to Earth. They must be trying to find a way to compensate.

Roxxon is a human's own business, but Asgard can give the Dark Elves a warning. The Dark Elves absolutely dare not confront Asgard head-on, and I'm afraid they will withdraw their manpower from Jupiter, shrink back, and wait for the next opportunity.

Anyway, they also stole quite a few resources, and now withdrawing people back doesn't lose anything. As for Roxxon, sell it if you sell it. Earth is not a piece of iron, is it easy to find an agent?

But Shiler personally entered the field, causing them to suffer major losses in manpower, so they have sunk costs. They may not be willing to go back so gray-faced. Even if they guarantee not to make trouble anymore, they will not give up their cooperation with Roxxon in private, and they must find their losses back on Earth. Then this requires more countermeasures.

The current situation is that Shiler's right brain wants to be a superhero, preparing to follow normal logic to appear and solve problems, pushing to the end in a straight line. Shiler's left brain wants to be a mastermind, problems appearing in parallel one after another, constantly looking for intersection points and optimal solutions like usual.

It just so happens that the changes made by the right brain cause problems to change constantly, and the solutions also change constantly. The left brain can't calculate it no matter how it calculates, and the CPU is smoking.

And the various problems calculated by the left brain are interfering with the right brain's straight-line thinking. Always wanting to let Shiler find something else to do before starting a business, wanting him to skip a certain link in normal people's logic, and like usual, go directly to execute the optimal solution behind.

Leading to Shiler's link-by-link advancement also being very unsmooth. The temple exploration was shattered, completely incomparable to the efficiency of Stark and Peter. If it weren't for calling Loki halfway, wouldn't he be mocked until next year?

The left and right brains fought each other, leading to Shiler neither being able to smoothly be a superhero, nor having time to go back to be a mastermind because he couldn't smoothly be a superhero.

On the way back to Callisto, Shiler had been thinking about this problem. He thought about it and decided to do a hot update on the way back to the city, first shielding the mastermind thinking of the left brain, and talk about it after he finishes being a superhero.

Returning to the stronghold on Callisto, the three of them went to organize the evidence together. In fact, only Stark and Peter were organizing, Shiler was wandering outside the sky, writing hot update code.

"This one can clearly see the startup method of the portal," Peter pointed to the screen and said, "It's different from any known portal opening method on Earth, clearly not Earth technology."

"I think this one is more important," Stark flipped back a few pages, and then said, "Their spaceship is unloading. The pipeline is continuously transporting resources to the portal. And the log of this spaceship truthfully recorded the process of going to Jupiter to mine, this is ironclad proof."

Peter nodded and said: "That's right. But there is another difficulty, that is, it must be proven that the portal leads to outside the solar system. Otherwise, they can also quibble, saying that they are transporting resources to Earth."

"Transporting to Earth is impossible," Stark said, "All portals within Earth have certifications and are under the management of Kamar-Taj. And abnormal spatial energy fluctuations will also be monitored at the first time. They don't have the ability to open portals privately."

"Or they say they are transporting to other places in the solar system? They must have made preparations in this regard. Maybe they opened the same portal on other planets."

"But what about resources? What about the resources transported to other places in the solar system? They shouldn't be able to take them out, right?"

"We can't gamble," Peter thought for a while and said, "If they are better prepared than us, this matter will be fooled by them."

"But we can't go through the portal directly either. Not to mention whether the cargo portal can be walked by people. If the opposite side is the Dark Elves' base camp, not only might we be trapped in it ourselves, but it might also startle the snake."

Both of them were silent, and then turned their eyes to Shiler at the same time.

Shiler came back to his senses. Jarvis said in his headset: "Doctor, they are discussing whether to go through the portal on Europa."

"Go through the portal for what?"

"This way we can confirm that the portal indeed leads to outside the solar system, and sit down on the crime of Roxxon stealing Jupiter's resources for foreign races."

"Even if the opposite side is indeed the Dark Elves' territory, who can prove that they walked through this portal to get there?"

"Perhaps we can find Jupiter's resources over there."

"The resources on Jupiter are all common elements in the universe, and they don't have the name of the solar system written on them. Even if we find Dark Elves, they can say they are their own."

"Then we can only catch them in the act?"

"Can't catch them in the act. This thing called a portal is too special. Even if one side enters and one side exits at the same time, there is no way to prove that the goods that came out were transported by the side that went in. At least human technology cannot distinguish it. They can completely quibble with this."

"Then what to do?"

"This problem will be discussed later," Shiler said, "At least wait until we return to Earth to discuss it."

Jarvis might have thought Shiler had some back-up plan, so he didn't continue to ask. Peter and Stark saw Shiler not speaking, and thought he was prepared, so they didn't continue to waste time on this problem.

The return ship came quickly. After getting on the ship, Shiler found a corner seat and sat down, starting to patch his update this time.

There were many people on the ship, and Stark and Peter didn't discuss the evidence either, but played cards. Time passed quickly.

Approaching the time to get off the ship, Shiler opened his eyes. He felt a burst of relaxation. Now he could choose whether to shield the mastermind thinking. If he shielded it, he could use a normal person's straight-line logic to be a superhero.

Then he recalled what Jarvis said, whether to go through the portal on Europa and go directly to find the Dark Elves.

This is of course not possible, but not because evidence might not be found, but because it is too dangerous, if Stark and Peter are caught, then they will be completely passive.

"Don't go to Jupiter again," Shiler suddenly said.

Instantly Stark and Peter looked at him with a horrified look. Peter said with a complex expression: "Doctor... I mean, Moon Knight. Dark Elves stealing Jupiter's resources is just a small matter, you don't need to blow up Jupiter for this, right?"

Shiler rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain to him. Without looking for the optimal solution, he had a quite simple and effective way to strike Roxxon.

The spaceship arrived at the space station, and the group got off. Shiler said to Stark: "Help me apply for a flight route to land in Oregon."

"Oregon? What are you going there for?"

"Something to do," Shiler answered concisely.

"Oregon has Roxxon's most important information resource storage center. It covers the information of users all over the world that he has collected for many years," Jarvis reminded.

"What is he going there for? Could it be that there is important information there? Did we miss anything in what we investigated before?"

"I'm not sure, sir. This might relate to Dr. Shiler's subsequent plans. I can't infer the whole picture now either."

"Fine," Stark nodded and said, "I can't control where you go to investigate. But if there are new clues, you have to share them with other members of the team."

Shiler nodded. Stark watched his back flying out of the space station, the information before constantly circling in his mind, speculating on his true purpose—

Until the next morning, Stark saw the morning news of the destruction of the Roxxon Energy Co., Ltd. information storage center in Oregon at the Avengers base.

He spat out a mouthful of coffee.

Steve walked in quickly, then closed the door with a "bang" and said: "Is this the way you Midnight Sons solve Roxxon?!"

Before Stark could say anything, Natasha walked in quickly, also closed the door with a "bang," and said: "Is this the plan you came up with to investigate Roxxon?!"

Stark was squeezed inside by the momentum of the two, just wanted to open his mouth to explain, Coulson walked in again. Stark hurriedly reached out and said: "Stop! It's not me!"

"I haven't asked yet," Coulson put his hands in his pockets, walked to Stark, showed his ID, and then said, "S. H. I. E. L. D. Level 8 Agent Coulson. Our Director wants to see you. Come with me."
