Chapter 228 The main force is tired, I am the substitute
On the afternoon of April 26th.
The sun shines lazily in the small courtyard of Zhengjiacun, adding a touch of warm color to this ordinary day.
Chen Yun was obsessed with the accompaniment of his telepathy and couldn't help but sing loudly.
The small courtyard suddenly became the simplest but purest KTV box
Attracted by the melodious and slightly strange singing, the surrounding fishermen would occasionally stop their hurried steps and admire this closed door. The door cast a doubtful glance.
They may be trying to figure out why in this day and age, people still listen to music with such total loss of sound quality. Where can I buy a speaker that sends out the link to avoid lightning?
Or maybe I want to say that singing here in the afternoon is a bit disturbing to the public.
But whether it's curiosity or any other mood.
In the end, these fishermen chose not to take any more care.
These thoughts just flashed by. The villagers adhered to one of the major principles of modern life - doing more is worse than doing less, especially when facing Chen Yun, who is well-known in the village and is nicknamed the "new village bully" , and even more unwilling to cause trouble easily.
After all, whether it is sound quality issues or nuisance disputes, in their view, they are not enough reasons to intervene.
After dinner, Chen Yun enjoyed the pleasure of being alone and immersed himself in narcissistic singing.
When he was about to finish singing this song and start this afternoon's world-clearing exercise, a phone call came to him.
After some exchanges, Chen Yun learned that someone on the Go website came to him with urgent matters.
Because his information could not be leaked, the person who was looking for him asked Weiqi.com to tell him.
Think for a moment.
Chen Yun first did some exercises to see through the world, and planned to go back to the room and open the Go network later.
It seemed like a few hours had passed.
After returning to the bedroom, he opened the backend of the Go website.
I saw that among the backstage private messages that 99+ had not read, there was an additional private message from a certain stinky chess player that I had played against before.
[Is the boss here? 】
【Help! Our Go community is about to be defeated by the Go AI again! 】
[This guy is said to be more powerful than the level 10 AI on Go.com. If you are interested and want to play, please send me a battle invitation directly. I will definitely stay online today. 】
Look at this news.
Chen Yun could feel the humility of the other person from between the lines, and he could also feel the eagerness of the other person.
This made him inevitably have a strong interest in this opponent who was said to have surpassed level 10 AI.
Looking back, I haven't played against the platform's top AI for a while.
He had been able to compete with him the last time they fought.
After this period of self-improvement and evolution again, I should be more comfortable dealing with level 10 AI.
Therefore, this unknown new opponent is undoubtedly a challenge worth exploring for him.
The AI that is said to be more powerful than the level 10 AI is indeed somewhat attractive to Chen Yun.
Thinking like this.
Thoughts flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.
Although he is interested, it is necessary to see what level ten AI is to him now before agreeing.
With this in mind, Chen Yun clicked on the human-machine duel.
·························
The venue for the Qiu Ju Cup Go World Championship.
The professional chess players who had been preparing for the whole afternoon looked at each other, then silently gave each other encouraging looks.
It’s true that you don’t have to compete with AI.
But sometimes, I really feel a little unwilling.
After the arrival of the Go AI era, countless people are shouting that Go is dead.
Although their professional chess players are still working hard to prove that Go is still alive and that humans still have meaning in the face of AI, they have never thought in their hearts that someone will appear to defeat AI?
The silence between them is not wordless, but contains a thousand words.
Over the years, the rise of Go AI has been like a storm, sweeping the entire Go world and changing people's understanding of this ancient art.
Doubts from the outside world are rising one after another. Whether Go can still retain the warmth of human emotions and whether it can maintain dignity in the face of cold algorithms has become a lingering question in every chess player's mind.
And now.
There seems to be some hope.
Although the new AI is ridiculously strong, a monster has recently appeared on their human side.
"Okay, let me say the strategy again, which is to delay as much time as possible and wait for the possible response from the Go Emperor."
"If we deliberately stall for time, we can still delay it for a long time with our ninth-level strength."
Ke Bao's 9th Dan looked seriously at the people in front of him who had agreed to compete in the afternoon.
Li Xuan Jiuduan plans to fight again.
The ninth section of Shiliang, the ninth section of Shenlang, and the ninth section of Huanghe are also impressively ready.
And he, Ke Bao, also plans to play.
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Ke Bao also smiled.
They couldn't beat the level 10 AI, so they didn't even think about defeating this new and confident AI.
If they hadn't remembered that the Go Emperor had appeared on the Internet before, they would have resigned themselves to their fate.
Simply use money to do things and use it as a stepping stone for the rise of AI. There is no need to consider anything else.
But the appearance of the Go Emperor gave people hope.
perhaps……
Can mankind truly win for once?
Although Lee Sedol, the world's number one player, won a battle between humans and machines against AlphaGo, with a total score of 1:4, this was not really a win.
Since then, AI has developed more and more powerfully. Without limiting the strength of AI or finding loopholes, top AI will be invincible and victorious.
But now...
There seems to be a real chance?
Countless complicated thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ke Bao gave instructions to Xiao Shen beside him:
“Xiao Shen, this is a competition requested by our financial sponsor and the Chess Academy, so you don’t Required to participate.”
"Your job is to keep an eye on the computer for me. If the Go Emperor sends an invitation to play, he will immediately send someone to tell me."
Ke Bao instructed seriously.
This link that Xiao Shen is responsible for is the top priority.
This is the core of their delaying plan.
They never thought that they could win from the beginning to the end, they just wanted to look forward to the arrival of that one.
"We are not trying to compete with AI."
"But we cannot deny that sometimes we feel unspeakable frustration. Go is not just about winning or losing, it is the inheritance of culture, the collision of wisdom, and the dialogue between the souls."
"We hope that someone can stand up and prove that even in today's technologically advanced world, human thinking and human soul still have irreplaceable value."
“And now there’s a role that those of us who can’t do that can play.”
"It's just to delay the arrival of the emperor."
After giving all instructions, Ke Bao said in a low and powerful voice.
These words seemed to touch the heartstrings of everyone present. Everyone nodded, with resonance and a bit of expectation in their eyes.
People who have learned Go to their level.
Basically, everyone has at least a hint of love for Go itself, otherwise they won’t be able to go that far.
Even if you are a genius, you won't be able to go far if you don't have love on this path.
So they expect a win.
They know that the upcoming game is not just a black and white contest on the chessboard, but also a profound dialogue between human wisdom and modern technology.
In this contest, what they are eager to see is not only a victory, but also a defense of the spirit of Go and a hymn to mankind's indomitable pursuit of excellence.
…………
afternoon.
In the venue of the Qiuju Cup Go World Championship, the atmosphere was tense and solemn, and every inch of the air seemed to be solidified with the solemnity of the game.
The afternoon sun shines through the window and dapples the chessboard, adding a bit of dramatic light and shadow to this long-running man-machine duel.
Li Xuan Jiuduan sat on one side of the chessboard and looked at the man wearing a headset as an extension of the AI arm with a serious face.
He was the second to last person to play chess.
After the lunch break, the man-machine confrontation began soon.
Shi Liang 9th Dan, Shen Lang 9th Dan, and Huang He 9th Dan have all lost. Even if they keep stalling, they won't be able to win for too long.
The representative of Future Zhiyu Company also looked at Li Xuan Jiuduan with a serious face.
After thinking about it for a while and taking a lunch break, my superiors took into account the public opinion storm that his attitude might bring and put forward some opinions on the battle video taken in the morning.
This representative chose to restrain himself a little this time and there was no need to be too arrogant.
He had restrained himself in the previous games.
Appropriate arrogance can arouse discussion, and there is a chance to clear up the reputation after becoming popular.
If you are too arrogant, it will be difficult to solve.
So he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude this morning. Friendship comes first between us. You don't have to care too much about the result of the game."
He apologized for his attitude in the morning and softened his tone.
But there is still a hint of tit-for-tat.
Tell a chess player who has just won the world championship not to care too much about the result of the game.
It's a completely condescending attitude. I don't know whether he is mocking others for being world champions in name only, or telling him not to cry if he loses next.
In short, these words have a different meaning.
Li Xuan didn't care.
He just calmly closed his eyes and took out a few chess pieces from the chess box and held them in his hand.
Trash talking to each other is common during games.
Mentality is also a part of strength, and those who can be affected cannot go far.
Upon seeing this, the representative of Future Zhiyu Company took out a chess piece without further explanation and chose to guess whether the number of chess pieces in Li Xuan Jiuduan's hand was an odd number.
This is a guess first.
If he guesses correctly, he plays black first, and if he guesses wrong, he plays white.
Soon, the game begins.
Li Xuan's 9th-dan performance was the same as that in the morning, still playing black first.
But the situation is better.
Not interested in fighting and being purely conservative, he made the chess game progress very slowly.
But holding the black but not attacking is obviously equivalent to slow death.
This made the representative of Future Zhiyu Company, who knew a little bit about basic Go, stunned.
It seems that the nine-dan chess players just now also played extremely conservatively. Is this some kind of strategy they discussed in the lounge at noon?
But thinking about my own strength, I might just be unable to understand the duel between experts.
He decisively stopped thinking about it.
Obediently following the instructions in the headset, he started operating like a puppet, mindlessly following the positions chosen by the AI in the headset.
After a long time.
Black was almost defeated miserably.
It has taken much longer now than in the morning.
The representative of Future Zhiyu Company looked confused, looking at Li Xuan Jiuduan, who was smiling but still did not choose to surrender, and felt a little confused.
ah?
You are definitely losing.
Why are you still laughing?
But soon he realized that the smiling Li Xuan Jiudan was looking behind him.
He turned around decisively and looked.
That was Ke Bao Jiudan holding a computer and running over with a hurried smile.
Before he could say anything.
The 9th-dan Li Xuan in front of him decisively surrendered, ending the garbage time of this inevitable losing game.
immediately.
Ke Bao Jiudan immediately put the computer in front of the representative of Future Zhiyu Company. The representative looked at Ke Bao's excited posture with some confusion. Looked at the Go network interface on the computer.
He immediately realized what Ke Bao meant.
This is……
Found foreign aid!
The guy on the computer who sent the battle invitation seemed a little familiar.
There seemed to be news in the Go world discussing this guy some time ago, right?
It seems that he is called...the Emperor of Go?
Although he is a member of a technology company, he has paid attention to some news in the Go world because of the development of Go AI.
At that time, the Go emperor seemed to have crushed Ke Bao, Xiao Shen and Li Xuan?
"Come, get down with him!"
Ke Bao pointed to the computer screen.
There was a smile on his face, and there was a bit of calmness and confidence in that smile, but it was more of a strong expectation.
After saying that, Ke Bao was followed by many chess players who came over.
After they plugged in the computer, they all stayed nearby and prepared to watch.
But under the command of Ke Bao.
Everyone moved to the lounge to watch the game online on their computers, while Ke Bao, the ninth dan, was on hand to supervise the progress of the game.
After realizing that Ke Bao's 9th Dan was not here to beat him up just to imitate the great Han chess master, the representative of Future Zhiyu Company regained his confidence on his face.
As long as you don't take action, everything will be fine.
Although it seems that the chess players around are looking forward to the performance of this Go emperor.
But just talking about playing chess.
Representatives from Future Intelligence are extremely confident in their own AI.
No one knows his own invincible wisdom better than him.
Level 10 AI has no chance of winning against Zhiyu!
So.
Regardless of whether it's a human or an AI on the other side, the result is the same.
"I told you, there's no point in substituting. You need to be at least level 10 AI to be able to see something."
The representative smiled and said to Ke Bao in front of him.
But Ke Bao was unmoved by his words.
It is true that no one knows Zhiyu AI better than this guy, but no one knows the Go Emperor better than Ke Bao.
Regardless of the pressure that was brought to him in that round when he was crushed.
The most terrifying thing is the speed of progress that seems to be born for Go, which is exactly the same from game to game.
How terrifying is it to make progress every game?
Long time no see.
He believed that the Go Emperor must now be standing in a realm that is beyond the reach of human beings, experiencing loneliness as a genius ahead of his time.
Seeing Ke Bao's face, he almost turned into a believer.
The representative of Future Intelligence Company shook his head, then took over the computer without hesitation and chose to accept the invitation to play.
The system enters the split screen.
He randomly selected five chess pieces, and then waited for the opponent to guess the odd or even numbers.
"Brother, why did you change the person?"
While the guessing was going on, he sent a private message to the other party.
Although he couldn't speak arrogantly, he still planned to talk trash before the game.
Trash talking before games is a common sight in all types of competitive sports. It's not just a psychological tactic, it's part of the culture of the game. Athletes use verbal exchanges to try to gain a psychological advantage and undermine their opponents' confidence.
Just don't wait for him to continue.
The other person simply replied:
"The main player is tired, I am the substitute."
After that, guess the correct opponent first and then make a move directly.
Obviously I don't want to talk any more.
This made the representative who was about to continue saying something couldn't help but be stunned.
What the hell is a substitute?
Where can they find substitutes for this temporary match?
When the other person said this, it felt like I was just playing casually.
He always felt that there was a strong meaning in this sentence, "I just want to play with you, a kid, for a while."
The representative’s heart was filled with crazy complaints.
However, when the opponent started to make moves, the representative no longer said much, but seriously followed the AI's instructions to make moves.
No matter what the other side means.
He will use his strength to make the opponent sober up.
He is not worried at all whether the opponent will use AI during online games.
Because it is impossible for all AIs on the market to outperform the new AIs studied by their future Zhiyu company. This is an affirmative conclusion drawn after testing.
Next result.
There is only one!
…………
An hour passed quickly.
As time passes by minute by minute.
The air in the game room seemed to solidify.
The tense atmosphere was like invisible gravity, weighing down everyone's heart.
Although the representative of Future Zhiyu Company was sitting in a comfortable seat, his brows were furrowed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The initial confidence gradually turned into uneasiness as the chess game continued to evolve.
Condition……
Something doesn't seem right!
The ending seemed far different from what he imagined!
As the AI's hand, he gradually couldn't understand every step of the chess game.
But the whispers of the researchers across his headset became less and less, replaced by heavy sighs from time to time.
At the same time, Zhiyu AI, which operates in almost seconds, is also responding slower and slower. Obviously, the current situation requires more and more calculations for it.
He still understood what it meant.
The opponent is very strong!
It's ridiculously strong!
Judging by the time it takes to wait for the AI to calculate, the guy opposite the computer is stronger than the level 10 AI on Go.com!
It has been beyond the capabilities of their Zhiyu AI.
The representative looked up to see who was on the opposite side, but he could only see the chess game on the computer and Ke Bao's 9th Dan standing next to him as the referee and recorder.
There was a long silence.
According to the long-awaited command in the headset, the representative made another move, waiting for the opponent's response.
There was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
And this time.
The other party responded very quickly!
At the critical moment of the chess game, black faced the iron wall carefully arranged by white and dropped a decisive chess piece.
Move 147, break!
This step is as ethereal as a flying fairy from the sky.
And this moment.
Time seemed to have stood still.
The representative found that the other side of his headset was silent for a moment, and then came a series of exclamations from the researcher:
"The winning rate is plummeting!"
"Every time you recalculate, your winning rate will drop a little more!"
"It's like the more the Zhiyu AI calculates, the more changes it discovers in this move, and the more it discovers that this move has no solution!"
Hear these exclamations in the headset.
The representative immediately understood that Black's move just now was a big break.
Opposite him was Ke Bao 9th Dan.
I was holding my breath at this moment, and my eyes seemed to be shining with infinite light.
Staring straight at the chess game on the screen.
He even couldn't help but stand up and move closer to the representative holding the mouse.
"Is it possible to break it here?!"
Ke Bao's eyes widened and he murmured.
In this step, Black adopted a rare and bold "breaking" tactic, directly inserting into White's seemingly unbreakable defense line.
It was like a sharp sword pointed directly at the heart, instantly changing the atmosphere of the chess game.
This move not only cuts off the connection between the two sides of White's chess and creates a subtle dispute, but the more profound significance is that it forces White's chess to make a difficult choice between maintaining the life of its own dragon and fighting for the corner of the field.
The most important thing is that this move seems to have been planned a long time ago, and then it appeared in this most critical place at this most critical time.
Ke Bao, who took a while to understand, was confused.
In the lounge nearby, many professional chess players who stayed to watch the game were also shocked by this move.
Everyone is a ninth-dan player, and after looking at the subtlety of this chess piece carefully for a while, they all vaguely saw part of its infinite meaning.
Black's move was like thunder on the chessboard, leaving everyone watching in amazement at his precise judgment and extraordinary courage.
With the fall of this move, the balance of power on the chessboard was completely broken.
And the next chess game was exactly the same.
Black cleverly used the chain reaction caused by this "break" to gradually erode White's territory while consolidating his own advantage.
In the next few exchanges, Black pressed forward step by step, and the dominance of the game was completely transferred to Black's side.
White, on the other hand, was forced to set up defenses everywhere, and the orders from the Future Zhiyu Company representative on the other side of the headset were transmitted back more and more slowly.
Until a long time later.
The command "Admit defeat" came from the other side of the headset.
Zhiyu AI judged that it was impossible to win, so it chose to surrender.
This made the representatives who originally believed that their side would win tremble.
Although he had expected it, this instruction still made him unbelievable and unacceptable.
After mechanically following the orders and accepting defeat.
He still felt like he was in a dream.
They...lost?
Looking up at the word "defeat" on the cold computer screen.
Then he looked at Ke Bao, who was still immersed in the subtleties of black chess.
The representative was silent.
He never thought about the possibility of losing!
Obviously, the Go AIs of countless large companies are no match for the Zhiyu AI they are researching. They clearly thought that after using professional chess players as a stepping stone to create a lot of hype, they directly openly challenged the global Go AI, and then let them do this The company took off in a big way.
But……
Why can anyone beat them?
This is impossible!
This must be a new AI from some big company! There’s absolutely no way it’s human!
The representative thought this way, becoming more and more certain of his guess.
AI is now the king of the Go world!
It is impossible for humans to defeat heaven!
So he immediately sent a private message to the opposite party and asked: "Which big company are you researching AI from?"
He was sure that the other person was also an AI, and the fact that he didn't dare to show his face showed this!
The more he thought about it, the more confident he became.
And for this question.
The person on the other end was silent for a while, and then replied in a seemingly nonchalant way: "6."
This made the representative confused.
Then he immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
The person on the other end obviously didn’t want to explain anything to his question, so he replied quickly:
“I mean…”
"Cooking, just practice more."
