Chapter 223 The Immortal Appears to the Mortal
Superior Illusionary God? It sounds very powerful.
"Really? More powerful than Alpha Dog?" Xiao Jie asked in surprise. In his impression, Alpha Dog was still a very awesome existence.
"That's of course. After all, AlphaGo was already an AI ten years ago. Artificial intelligence is now a hot industry. All major technology companies are studying this stuff and constantly iterating and updating it. AlphaGo is nothing. There are even companies starting to do it now. Dominant level AI.”
"Dominator-level AI? What is that?"
"Theoretically, AI can dominate everything. Do you know how to win in backgammon by playing first, right?"
"I know."
As long as you master certain skills in backgammon, you can theoretically win if you go first. Of course, later on, for the sake of balance, a no-hand rule was added, but even so, there is still a huge advantage to playing first.
“It is very easy to win first in backgammon because the rules are so simple that humans can do it after training.
In fact, in theory, all chess games can win first, but the computing power required is different.
For example, in chess, humans cannot do it, but AI can now play chess and win if you move first. As long as the AI moves first, every move you make will be clearly calculated. No matter how you move, you will definitely lose. .
The game is over from the first move.
But Go is currently unable to achieve this, because the variables in Go are too large, and the computing power required increases exponentially, which is simply not possible with current computers.
However, it is said that some laboratories have begun to combine quantum computers with AI. It is said that they can develop dominant AI. Not to mention playing Go, even the future history of the real world can be calculated. "
Xiao Jie said it was true or not, but it felt so mysterious. Wouldn't it be like cheating with the group? Not to mention the immortal, even if the saint comes, it will be useless.
"Is this what your company is researching?"
"Well, that's not true, but it's still very powerful anyway. It's no problem to defeat ten alpha dogs."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it would be no problem.
"Okay, that's it. How do you sell this transcendent fantasy god?"
"This thing is not for sale, but I can send you a beta version, which will be used as a technical test."
"Beta version? Is that reliable? The opponent is a real master. This chess game is about my life and death. Please don't cheat me."
"Damn, what age are we in? You are still a master. What a master. Human chess players have no chance of winning against AI. Let's put it this way. Although this AI is a beta version, it can still beat AlphaGo by more than ten times. , the iteration speed of AI is unimaginable. AlphaGo can basically crush all human chess players, and the Super Fantasy God can crush AlphaGo, so you can say whether it is powerful or not, as long as you play with others , there is no possibility of losing.”
"Please, how much is it?"
"It's okay to talk about money. When a new game comes out in the future, just help me get a few sets of equipment."
"It's a deal."
After a while, the other party sent a file.
Xiao Jie brought over another computer and took it in. Unexpectedly, it was quite big, over 100 gigabytes.
"Let me go, why is your file so big?"
"Nonsense, AI is not a simple electronic program, but... Damn, you won't understand even if I tell you, that's all."
Xiao Jie installed the program, clicked it, and a Go interface popped up. It looked quite rudimentary, so he probably didn't have time to make the interface yet.
However, the basic functions are still very complete. Xiao Jie tested it and made sure it worked. Then he returned to his computer and entered the game again.
"Immortal, I'm back." Xiao Jie said to the Taoist Shenji.
Taoist Shenji smiled and said, "My little friend has never left, so how can we come back?"
"Haha, yes, yes, it was just a slip of the tongue. Strictly speaking, I just wandered away from my mind, so I came back. Come on, Taoist priest, let's start playing chess. I don't know how to calculate the rules of chess?"
"What are the rules? Black first, then white, then that's all."
Xiao Jie sighed for a moment, he was indeed an immortal, and his main theme was casualness.
In Go, the first mover advantage is very large. Therefore, different eras often have different rules. The most common one is the grid. For the sake of fairness, when the final calculation of the amount of land occupied by both sides is calculated, Black must deduct a certain number of grids. or subnumber.
But this immortal doesn't seem to have such particularity.
Xiao Jie asked tentatively: "Then who is black and who is white?"
Taoist Shenji smiled and said: "Haha, I just hold the black one."
This immortal feels quite confident.
"Then I'm not polite, so as long as I can win this game of chess, the immortal will let me go?"
"That's right."
"Then let's get started."
Xiao Jie said, opening the game program and choosing to let the AI control black and himself to control white. However, in the game, he controls black and Taoist Shenji controls white.
Watch the AI drop a piece on the chessboard.
Xiao Jie also followed suit and placed a piece on the same position on the chessboard.
"Hey, I've never seen such an opening before. It seems like I'm not good at chess, little friend." After the immortal finished speaking, he directly placed the white piece in Tian Yuan's position.
Although Xiao Jie is a novice at Go, he still knows the position of Tian Yuan. The key to playing Go is golden horns, silver edges, grass belly, and the one who plays Tian Yuan in the first step must be a novice. This is how it is written in the novel.
I suddenly felt like hehe, I don’t know which one of us can’t play chess. How old are your chess skills? Today I will let you experience the shock of cyberspace.
He glanced at the computer next to him.
This AI program is really considerate. There is a winning rate variable next to it. If the word "opposite" is dropped, the original winning rate of 47.9% directly becomes 38.2%.
In other words, in the eyes of the computer, this guy made a bad move, and that's all.
Looking at the computer again, the same thing happened.
Xiao Jie followed the script.
You come and go, and after a while, the chessboard is filled with chess pieces. Xiao Jie plays faster and faster. He just follows the gourd and the gourd, and the only thing he worries about is accidentally clicking the wrong one. However, the immortal moved slower and slower. He looked calm at first, but then his brows became furrowed. Sometimes he had to think about the next step for a long time.
"No, that's not right! My chess skills were superior to those of Konglao Mountain back then. None of the other qi masters could beat me. How could it be like this..." The Taoist Shenji muttered, holding the chess pieces for a long time. .
Xiao Jie was secretly happy, it doesn't matter that you are an immortal, you still have to kneel down in front of my big AI.
"By the way, do you immortals just play chess when you have nothing to do? Looking at you, it seems that the immortal's chess skills are not very good. Don't they all say that the immortal's chess skills are amazing?"
Taoist Shenji said helplessly, "Immortals are human beings too. They are all trained from mortals. This chess skill is about wisdom, not magic power."
Xiao Jie said yes, to put it bluntly, immortals are also human beings, but they have gained extraordinary power and immortal life. Their wisdom may not be much better than that of mortals, just like the two people they met at the beginning, a bottle of wine and a plate of food. Just bought it.
However, immortals also have a powerful feature, that is, they have an endless lifespan, and they can play chess every day if they have nothing to do. After thousands of years, no matter how old they are, they can become masters of Go.
However, even for thousands of years, there are only a few million games in the world. For ordinary people, it is an astronomical number, but for AI, it is nothing. According to Zhang Xingwen, the number of games played by Go AI is based on millions. It is calculated in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
"Besides, I'm not a fairy, I'm just a housekeeper dog."
Taoist Shenji said, suddenly there was a hint of loneliness in his expression.
After hearing this, Xiao Jie understood what he was referring to. As a clone, although he possesses a certain degree of wisdom, he is ultimately driven by his true body.
He actually sympathized with the person in front of him. He had been locked up in this place for thousands of years just for a mission. "The Taoist Master must be having a hard time here, right?"
"Haha, it's okay. I'm naturally good at chess. I can play chess with myself every day here, which is quite interesting. It's just a pity that I can't leave here to visit the world's chess masters and compare their chess skills. It's really a pity." It’s been so long since I was born, and my little friend is the first person to play chess with me. I didn’t expect to meet such a master for the first time, and I’m really happy.”
Xiao Jie was a little strange, "If I am your first opponent, then why do you say that no other Qi Master can win?"
"Strictly speaking, what they can't win is my body. It's just that I and the body have the same memory, so that's why they say so."
Snap! Another word fell, and in the time it took to speak, Xiao Jie had completed the siege. On the computer screen, the white chess piece was instantly eaten by a dragon, and the entire chess game was completely clear.
Xiao Jie chuckled and followed the AI's technique to write down the word.
The Taoist Shenji's face suddenly became helpless, "Oh, how could this happen, how could this happen! I lost."
"Haha, the Taoist priest agreed."
"I didn't let you, kid, where did you learn your chess skills? How can you be so good? I have played against myself for thousands of years, and I think that my chess skills are superb. I didn't expect that I would lose to you."
Xiao Jie chuckled and said, "Oh, I can't help it. Some people are born smart, and I can't help it either. You can let me go now."
"That's natural, I - it's not good!" The Taoist Shenji's face suddenly changed. He was still uneasy just now, but now he looked as if he had suffered a disaster.
Xiao Jie suddenly felt bad, "What's wrong with Taoist Master?"
At this moment——
A dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Taoist Shenji's body, and a trace of misery appeared on his face.
"My little friend, it seems that we are destined to end up here. Alas, I never thought that after being trapped here for thousands of years, I would still be reluctant to leave it when I die."
When the white light dissipated, Taoist Shenji was still in the same place, but his expression and appearance had changed somewhat.
He was originally a rather gentle middle-aged Taoist, but the person in front of him looked unusually young. His eyes were deep and deep, but his skin was smooth and white, like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old. The soap robe on his body also changed into a Qingxuan Taoist suit. There are many patterns on the clothes such as Zhoutian stars, Liangyi Bagua and so on. The stars on the clothes are unpredictable, like dynamic pictures. At first glance, they are not ordinary things.
Looking at the name on the head, it has also changed.
Shenjizi (Immortal Projection): Level 81. HP? ? ? ? .
Xiao Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely guessed what happened.
This Shenjizi should be the Taoist Shenji who became an immortal, and the Taoist Shenji should be the clone left before he became an immortal, so there was a change in appearance.
And this Taoist Shenji lost the chess game, and somehow the real owner noticed it, so he directly came to the real world and used a backdoor to list it. However, in this way, the Taoist Shenji was probably gone.
No wonder he is willing to wait here for thousands of years. If he doesn't wait, it will probably be nothing...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel pity for these external incarnations. They obviously have self-awareness and wisdom, but they are destined to be just puppets that can be discarded at any time.
"Little friend, why don't you speak?" the person in front of me said calmly. Although his tone was gentle, it carried a kind of supreme indifference, which made people feel awe. It was completely different from the previous one. His eyes were careless, but it was just a casual glance. The feeling of losing everything also made Xiao Jie feel more stressed.
"Ah, this Immortal Chief, you and the one just now..."
"Haha, since you have already figured it out, little friend, why do you need to pretend to be ignorant and talk to smart people? There is no need to go through so many twists and turns, don't you think?"
These words are a bit sharp.
"Ah, the immortal actually saw it. Hahaha, I'm sorry. After all, we are facing an immortal, so the boy will inevitably be a little nervous."
"Don't be nervous. Immortals will not attack mortals at will, just like humans will not deliberately embarrass an ant, let alone a mortal who just defeated me. Although what you won was just the clone I left behind thousands of years ago. , at that time, I had not yet become a fairy, but I already had some chess skills, but winning was a win, which was still quite rare.
I have to say, you made me a little interested in you. "
Xiao Jie felt a little uneasy. Using the ant as a metaphor clearly meant that he didn't take himself seriously.
Also, how could I, an eighteenth-level mortal, fall into the eyes of an immortal?
However, it still made him very unhappy. This was not the way you were treated when you met Kaiyang Xingjun and Master Tianxuan. They are also immortals. Your attitude is too arrogant.
However, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
He had a feeling that the immortal in front of him would never be as easy to talk to as the two people he knew before. If he didn't handle it well, he might be crushed to death like an ant.
"Can the Immortal Chief let me pass?" Xiao Jie asked cautiously.
"No, you still need to beat me."
Xiao Jie was suddenly stunned, "Ah, but we had already agreed just now."
"It was Taoist Shenji who made the deal with you, and what you are facing now is Shenjizi. It's completely different. But I won't bully you either. Naturally, you won the game just now, but we have to win two out of three games. , you need to beat me one more time before I can let you pass."
Xiao Jie was immediately speechless. What the hell, do all you immortals play like this?
"Chief Immortal, isn't this against the rules?"
"Hahahahaha." The magic machine suddenly laughed wildly, his face sank slightly, and the laughter suddenly stopped, "In this Kanglao Mountain, I - I am the rule."
you! Okay, okay, you are a god, you are amazing.
Xiao Jie was so angry that he wanted to smash the keyboard, but he didn't dare.
Just when he was thinking about whether to argue again, he heard the magic machine say: "But I won't do it to you in vain. If you can beat me this time, I will not only let you pass, but I will also give you a pill." Elixir."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a pill appeared out of thin air.
"This is a life-prolonging pill. It can extend your life by ten years, which is enough to make up for the years you lost in the Wangliu River. There is still some left to spare."
System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [The Immortal’s Gambit].
Task description: After successfully passing the third test, your superb chess skills unexpectedly attracted the projection of the real immortal machine. The other party is very interested in you and hopes to win two out of three games with you to determine the outcome. Give an elixir as a bonus...
Mission goal: Defeat the divine machine in a chess match.
Mission reward: longevity elixir x 1.
Damn, it’s so stupid! Ten years of life.
I am twenty-seven years old this year, no - I wasted three or four years practicing swordplay, but now I am actually in my early thirties.
If I could be ten years younger and turn back into a handsome 20-year-old boy, that would be amazing.
Of course, you can actually keep it and trade it. How much will it cost if it has a ten-year lifespan? Anyway, my goal is to refine Qi and become an immortal. If I can really succeed, there is no need to rush to take this pill.
It’s also good to use it to exchange equipment for skill books.
Xiao Jie said in his heart, then let’s do it.
The key is that he has no choice but to make the move now. Moreover, according to Zhang Xingwen, this AI is invincible in the world. This god is powerful because of his magic power, not his brain, so there should be no problem.
Xiao Jie said solemnly: "Since the Immortal Chief insists on this, I have no choice but to obey. However, if I win another round, I think that with the dignity of the Immortal Chief, he will not become angry with a mere mortal."
"Hahahahaha." The magic machine laughed. This time he laughed very happily, not as sinister as before. But the more he did this, the more frightened Xiao Jie became.
"Of course, you are a mortal, and you are not qualified to let me go back on my word - this time I will play the black chess piece."
