Chapter 3427: Son of Midnight (Twenty-Six)
For example, when exploring the temple, he would not just think about exploring the temple. He would think about the conspiracy of the dark elves, the next move of Roxxon Corporation, Asgard's reaction to it, and the countermeasures that superheroes could find, and so on.
If he just sat in his office and thought about it, he would be able to figure it out very quickly. Then, as usual, he suddenly skipped the next logical step and performed some operations that no one could understand.
In fact, these operations are not untraceable, but the nodes where many problem-solving methods converge. Because there are too many different things involved, bystanders cannot know the whole picture, so they will feel confused and unable to understand what he is doing.
However, if you want to use linear thinking to solve one of the problems while thinking about different problems, finding the intersection of the solutions, and then calculating the optimal solution, the amount of calculation will increase exponentially.
Because he himself is involved in solving a problem, the situation of the problem will continue to change. Once the problem changes, other nodes must change accordingly.
Originally, if Schiller hadn't come, Stark and Peter would definitely not choose to kill all the dark elves in this temple on Io. It's not that they are kind-hearted, but they won't waste time here and retreat after getting the evidence.
The damage they caused was basically concentrated near the portal, which meant that Roxxon suffered the most damage. The dark elves were basically unaffected.
Schiller, who was supposed to be sitting in the office, should have also deduced this from the results of Stark and Peter's battle. Then he could infer that Roxxon would definitely use this loss to negotiate with the dark elves. As long as they could create more trouble for Roxxon Company, they would ask for a big price from the dark elf lion. Schiller could take this opportunity to create an opportunity for the cooperation between the two parties to break down.
But now that he himself was involved, all the dark elves in the temple were wiped out. Although the dark elves did not die out in the last incident, they should have suffered a major blow, and they could not afford to lose manpower.
Schiller's participation would cause the Dark Elves to suffer unacceptable losses, which would obviously change the Dark Elves' decision-making process, and they might even immediately go to Roxxon Company to change their subsequent plans for Jupiter.
Then the optimal solution thought out without Schiller's participation cannot be used, and a different solution should be used.
However, if this problem is solved in a different way, it will cause other nodes related to this node to also be solved in a different way.
For example, regarding the skull of the Frost Giant King, this matter should actually be the responsibility of Asgard, and it cannot be evaded by using excuses such as biodiversity.
The garbage they accidentally threw over many years ago caused Roxxon Company to cooperate with the dark elves, which brought losses to the earth. They must find a way to compensate.
Roxxon Corporation is a matter for humans, but Asgard can warn the dark elves. The dark elves will never dare to confront Asgard head-on, and they will probably withdraw their men from Jupiter, shrink back, and wait for the next opportunity.
Anyway, they have stolen a lot of resources, so there is no loss if we withdraw them now. As for Roxxon, we can just sell it. The world is not a solid block, so it is not easy to find an agent, right?
But after Schiller personally intervened and caused them to suffer heavy losses in manpower, they had sunk costs. They might not be willing to go back in disgrace. Even if they promised that they would never cause trouble again, they would not give up their cooperation with Roxxon Company in private, and they had to make up for their losses on Earth. This required more coping methods.
The situation now is that Schiller's right brain is going to be a superhero, ready to solve problems according to normal logic, and push them to the end. Schiller's left brain is going to be the mastermind behind the scenes, with parallel problems popping up one after another, constantly looking for intersections and optimal solutions as usual.
The changes made by the right brain caused the problems and solutions to keep changing. The left brain could not finish the calculations and the CPU was smoking.
The various problems calculated by the left brain interfere with the linear thinking of the right brain. I always want Schiller to find something else to do before he starts his business, and want him to skip a certain link in the normal logic and directly execute the optimal solution as usual.
As a result, Schiller's progress was not smooth. The exploration of the temple was fragmented, and it was completely incomparable to the efficiency of Stark and Peter. If he hadn't called Loki halfway, wouldn't he have been laughed at by them until next year?
The conflict between his left and right brains made it impossible for Schiller to be a superhero successfully, and because he couldn't be a superhero successfully, he didn't have time to go back and be the mastermind.
On the way back to Callisto, Schiller kept thinking about this problem. He thought about it and decided to do a hot update on the way back to the city, blocking the thinking of the left brain behind the scenes, and wait until he finished being a superhero.
Back at the base on Callisto, the three of them went to sort out the evidence. In fact, only Stark and Peter were sorting it out, while Schiller was daydreaming beside them, writing the hot update code.
"This picture clearly shows how the portal is activated." Peter pointed at the screen and said, "It is different from any known portal on Earth. It is obviously not an Earth technology."
"I think this one is more important." Stark flipped through a few pictures and said, "Their spacecraft is unloading. Pipelines are continuously transporting resources to the portal. The log of this spacecraft faithfully records the process of mining on Jupiter. This is irrefutable evidence."
Peter nodded and said, "That's right. But there is another difficulty, which is to prove that the portal leads outside the solar system. Otherwise, they can also argue that they are transporting resources to Earth."
"It's impossible to transport it to Earth," Stark said. "All portals on Earth have been certified and are under the management of Kamar-Taj. And abnormal spatial energy fluctuations will be detected immediately. They don't have the ability to open a portal privately."
"Or are they talking about transporting it to other places in the solar system? They must have made preparations for this. Maybe they have opened similar portals on several other planets."
"But what about the 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 moment and said, "If they are more prepared than we are, they will be fooled by this matter."
"But we can't just go through the portal. Let's not talk about whether we can go through the portal for transporting goods. If the other side is the base camp of the dark elves, not only will we be trapped in it, but we may also alert the enemy."
Both of them fell silent, and then turned their eyes to Schiller at the same time.
Schiller came back to his senses. Jarvis said in his earpiece: "Doctor, they are discussing whether to go through the portal on Europa."
"What are you going through the portal for?"
"This way we can confirm that the portal does lead outside the solar system, and prove that Roxxon Corporation is stealing Jupiter's resources for aliens."
"Even if the other side is indeed the territory of the dark elves, who can prove that they went there through this portal?"
"Perhaps we can find Jupiter's resources there."
"The resources on Jupiter are all relatively common elements in the universe, and there is no name of the solar system written on them. Even if we discover the dark elves, we can claim them as ours."
"Then we can only catch him in the act?"
"We can't catch them in the act. Portals are too special. Even if someone is entering and exiting at the same time, there is no way to prove that the goods on the exiting side are the same as those on the entering side. At least human technology cannot tell the difference. They can use this as an excuse."
"What should I do?"
"We'll discuss this later," Schiller said, "at least until we get back to Earth."
Jarvis probably thought Schiller had some trick up his sleeve, so he didn't ask any more questions. Peter and Stark saw that Schiller didn't say anything, so they thought he was prepared and didn't waste any more time on this question.
The return boat arrived soon. After boarding the boat, Schiller found a seat in the corner and began to patch his update.
There were many people on the boat, so Stark and Peter did not discuss the evidence, but played cards. Time passed quickly.
As the time to disembark approached, Schiller opened his eyes. He felt relieved. Now he could choose whether to block the thoughts of the mastermind. If he did, he could be a superhero with the linear logic of a normal person.
Then he thought about what Jarvis said and wondered whether he should go through the portal on Europa and go directly to find the dark elves.
Of course this is not possible, but not because they might not find evidence, but because it is too dangerous. If Stark and Peter are caught, they will be completely passive.
"Don't go to Jupiter again." Schiller suddenly said.
Stark and Peter looked at him with horror. Peter said with a complicated expression: "Doctor... I mean, Moon Knight. The dark elves stealing Jupiter's resources is just a small matter. There is no need for you to blow up Jupiter for this, right?"
Schiller rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain to him. After he didn't need to find the optimal solution, he had a fairly simple and effective way to attack Roxxon.
The spacecraft arrived at the space station and several people disembarked. Schiller said to Stark: "Please help me apply for a flight route that will land in Oregon."
"Oregon? What are you doing there?"
"Something." Schiller answered briefly.
"Oregon has the most important information resource storage center of Rockson Corporation. It contains the information of users from all over the world that he has collected over the years." Jarvis reminded.
"Why is he going there? Is there important information there? Is there anything we missed in our previous investigation?"
"I'm not sure, sir. This may be related to Dr. Schiller's subsequent plans. I can't speculate on the full picture now."
"Okay." Stark nodded and said, "I don't care where you go to investigate. But if you have new clues, you have to share them with other members of the team."
Schiller nodded. Stark watched him fly out of the space station, his mind constantly circling the previous information, speculating on his true purpose -
It wasn't until the next morning that Stark saw the morning news at the Avengers base that the information storage center of Roxxon Energy Co., Ltd. in Oregon was blown up.
He spat out a mouthful of coffee.
Steve walked in quickly, slammed the door and said, "Is this how you Midnight Sons are going to deal with Roxxon?!"
Before Stark could say anything, Natasha walked in quickly, slammed the door shut, and said, "Is this the plan you came up with to investigate Roxxon?!"
Stark was pushed inside by the momentum of the two people. Just as he was about to explain, Coulson walked in again. Stark quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Stop! It's not me!"
"I haven't asked yet." Coulson put his hands in his pockets, walked up to Stark, stretched out his hand to show his ID, and then said, "Agent Coulson, Level 8 of SHIELD. Our director wants to see you. Come with me."
