Chapter 155 A Thing Called Hope
1.5: 1.2.

The final odds before the start of the third inning.

Cass looked at the amount of bets given by the two parties in the background, and the cold sweat never stopped.

On China's side, the betting amount has reached 180 billion US dollars, while in the West it has reached 6580 billion US dollars.

This figure has surpassed any other World Cup.

"Book me two tickets, one to New York and another to Madagascar."

Cass has already figured it out, if AlphaGo wins, he will fly back to the United States, because he will be the hero of the Western people, but if the Chinese win, then he will fly to Africa, and then use the early Prepare a fake passport, go to another country, and never plan to appear in front of the public in this life.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, it is closed.

15 minutes before the game.

Several staff members of AlphaGo conducted the final debugging and confirmed that there is no problem with AlphaGo.

At the same time, the media also began to interview Housman.

"After losing the second game, can AlphaGo still win?"

Housman raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course there is no problem. Although the Huaxia player is very strong, surpassing almost all Go players that have appeared in history, AlphaGo will definitely win."

"Where does your company get its confidence?"

"Because just at noon, we upgraded AlphaGo and replaced AlphaGo's computing components. AlphaGo's computing power has now increased by 20%."

Housman's words caused an uproar.

It has increased Alpha Dog's skill ability by 20%, which is horrible.

The Internet is also boiling because of this.

Western netizen: "Haha, the Chinese will lose this time."

Western netizen 2: "I understand, AlphaGo must have cooperated with the gaming company and deliberately lost the second round. In this way, those Chinese people will feel that there is a chance, and they will bet wildly, rushing to give away money."

Huaxia netizens looked at the remarks of Western netizens, and their hearts were also cast a shadow, because this possibility really exists.

If that's the case, wouldn't they be doomed this time?

In the backstage lounge on Huaxia's side, Chen Ke and the others also saw the media's live interview with Hausman, and they also became a little flustered.

"Chen Ke, do you think that one has a chance of winning? It's really if the Yankees let the water go."

The director of the Go Association is very worried. Now it is no longer a simple Go match. It has evolved into a battle of glory between the East and the West. More importantly, a terrifying amount of money is involved.

As early as more than half an hour ago, he received an inquiry call from the higher-ups. After all, the whole people were betting wildly, and it was impossible for the higher-ups not to pay attention. According to the information disclosed to him by the higher-ups, the figure was close to 2000 billion RMB.

If it loses, it will be 2000 billion yuan of wealth robbed by foreigners.

Of course, the amount in the West is even more terrifying, and the upper management has also disclosed a message to him. After communicating with such a large amount, the upper management of China and the West decided that neither side can go back on their word.

Therefore, this game has carried so much, and it is really unbearable to lose.

"At this time, I can't guarantee it. To be honest, I guess few people can understand the third game."

Chen Ke replied with a wry smile, and the situation in the third game was indeed as he expected.

can't read.

The commentary couldn't understand, the audience couldn't understand, even professional players like Chen Ke couldn't understand.

Receiving, relying on, supplementing, flying, pressing, hitting, lifting...

The chess games played by Su Le and AlphaGo seemed to have no trace. They judged that the move might be for the next step, but the next step was to be slapped in the face.

The commentator just said "Xiao Fei hangs the corner", but it turned out to be "Golden Rooster Independent".

At the beginning, some Go masters in the commentary and the live broadcast room were able to analyze it, but later on, the commentator simply stopped talking, and the live broadcast room did not refresh the screen.

Only the sound of Luo Zi clearly reached everyone's ears.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"Unless it is the final stage of fighting, it is really impossible to judge who wins and who loses."

After a long time, the commentator sighed.

"This game of chess can definitely be recorded in history. It will be the strongest confrontation between human wisdom and machine civilization in human history."

Go is a test of computing power, and the strength of machines lies in computing.

In the world's oldest and most intelligent computing project, the finals between humans and artificial intelligence represent extraordinary significance.

At this moment, not only the betting netizens are paying attention, but also the giants of technology companies all over the world.

This chess game will determine many things, and may even affect the future technological development process.

"I can't guess, I really can't guess, just now I thought our side fell into a disadvantage, and when this white stone landed, all the white stones in Xiaojiao's area will live, and the disadvantage will be gone at once."

"Also, AlphaGo lost Sanmu just now, but it was because of that Feizi that it also activated Xiaojiao and killed two Baizi instead. This... this reversal is really too fast."

"I'm not surprised that AlphaGo can't do it. After all, it is the artificial intelligence that claims to be the fastest at present, but what are the Chinese people doing?"

Why!
This is the common aspiration of many netizens in the West at the moment.

There are not many people in the West who know how to go, and most of them can't even understand who is superior and who is inferior in the game, but they can understand the commentary, and the commentary's non-stop reversal and exclamation also make their hearts a little unbearable .

"Ah! Sister Hui, I knew Su Le's subordinates were fine."

Shen Jiaxin hugged the pillow tightly and screamed, Jiang Hui on the side rolled her eyes, you know shit Go, do you think Su Shao's move is okay? You just purely think that as long as Su Shao It's okay to download.

Jiang Hui didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Jiaxin, but her palms were sweating at the moment. You must know that under Shen Jiaxin's forced request, she was coerced into betting 10 yuan to support Young Master Su.

What were the odds then?

More than 260 times.

If this wins, it will be more than 2000 million.

Although her current net worth has reached this figure, it is her accumulation of more than ten years.

Great Wall Club.

Wang Fei and his party were also holding their breath at the moment. Although a few hundred million dollars would not hurt them, it was not a small amount.

Most importantly, this round was too exciting to watch.

Especially those few who just wanted to show their support for Su Le, their foreheads were sweating at the moment, they don't need to care about a few hundred million, but if they won.

That's a return of billions or tens of billions.

Don't look at the market value of their companies in the thousands or even trillions, but that is the company's market value, not their own net worth, let alone the company's debt ratio is not low.

Chen Group Headquarters.

Several of Chen Xinyu's uncles rushed over angrily, and even alarmed the old man on purpose, because they originally wanted to question Chen Xinyu.

Using the company's funds to place bets is what the old man hates the most.

However, at this moment, the uncles of the Chen family were in the boardroom, staring intently at the Go live broadcast on the big screen.

There's no way, in the face of the situation that may bring tens of billions of credits to the company, didn't you see that the old man didn't get angry?

If Huaxia loses, they can attack Xinyu, but if they win, the high-level members of the Chen family will be like mirrors in their hearts. I am afraid that the Chen Group will belong to the girl Xinyu in power in the future.

……

On the court, Su Le kept spending rumor points in his mind to deduce the chess game. After AlphaGo was upgraded, he consumed more and more rumor points.

Up to now, no ultimate move has been deduced.

But Su Le is not in a hurry, because compared to AlphaGo, he has a time advantage.

In the end, AlphaGo's calculation time was significantly longer, but he didn't need it, he just spent more transmission points, and the deduction speed was still the same as before.

What I have to do is to consume AlphaGo's time.

"Although I can't understand the chess game, our Huaxia side already has the advantage."

The narrator spoke suddenly, which made the host a little puzzled: "Why?"

"In this competition, the regular time for each game is only two hours. To be honest, this time is usually not enough. Sometimes the masters will spend a whole day playing a game of chess, because the calculations at the end are more time-consuming."

"The game originally agreed with AlphaGo was only two hours long. I think AlphaGo took advantage of it. After all, the calculation of artificial intelligence is much faster than that of us humans, but this time the situation is reversed."

"The speed of our Chinese chess player is very average. According to this speed, it is no problem to finish the game within the specified time, but AlphaGo can't do it. Now there are only more than 70 moves, and there are only 10 minutes left in the time. According to AlphaGo's current calculation time, it can only last for five more hands at most, and it is about to enter the 1-minute countdown time."

"No matter how powerful the artificial intelligence is, calculations will take time. If you don't have enough time, you won't be able to fully calculate how to go. This gives us a chance."

The words of the commentary made the faces of Housman and Cass, who were in the spectator room at the moment, extremely ugly, because the other party said the truth.

AlphaGo's powerful calculation ability has become a fatal weakness at this moment.

Smart AI is just a program, no matter how smart it is, it must abide by the most basic rules when the program is set, and the most basic rule of AlphaGo is to calculate everything until it calculates a completely correct path.

There was no problem with this rule in the past, but it doesn’t work now. There is not enough time, but AlphaGo will continue to deduce it according to the rules until the countdown time reaches the mandatory move.

But people are different. People can be flexible. If you don’t have enough time, you don’t have to think so far, try to think about the last few moves.

After 10 minutes, AlphaGo entered the countdown stage.

Anyone who knows Go knows that now is the critical moment of the game.

Su Le fell.

AlphaGo made a move at the last second of the countdown.

Su Le added.

AlphaGo blocked.

Su Le flew a son...

"It's an advantage. Without the thinking alpha dog, we can't stop us Chinese chess players."

The commentator couldn't help shouting just after the ten pieces fell, and now those professional chess players can also see the disadvantages.

AlphaGo has lost the advantage of calculation, and the moves are no longer so perfect, and there are already flaws.

"Haha, it's not sealed. This move was unexpected by AlphaGo. The balance of victory has already tilted to our side."

In the spectator room, compared to Huaxia's excited shouts, Housman's side was silent at the moment, and everyone's faces were full of despair.

Lost.

This time it is lost.

Lazi, continue to lazi.

When AlphaGo stopped making moves, some people who didn't understand chess were concerned and confused.

"What's going on, why isn't AlphaGo down?"

"It's timed out, referee, AlphaGo is timed out."

These viewers were commenting in the live broadcast room, and at this moment, the commentator stared at the chessboard carefully for a while, and said excitedly: "It's not that AlphaGo can't play anymore, but that AlphaGo has already lost."

"Isn't there still a lot of places to settle, why is it over?"

"It's useless. Those places are surrounded by white stones. Even if the stones are placed, they will be eaten. Now we are waiting for the referee to judge, but we must have won."

The chess game is already obvious, the commentator has already calculated it, and the referees can naturally see it, but because the game has too much influence, the referees have to take it seriously.

After confirming it three times in a row, the referee even asked the staff around AlphaGo to confirm that both sides had no objection to the chess game, and then gave the ruling gesture.

Huaxia Fang wins!

Whoa!
There was an uproar at the scene, including the live broadcast room.

No one expected that this game, which had no suspense at the beginning, would end with such a shocking reversal in the end.

"We won, we won."

"Haha, this time I slapped the Westerners hard in the face."

"Xinzhou Academy is mighty. Although I don't know who the chess player is, I have decided to buy a plane ticket to Xinzhou tomorrow."

"I'm going too, hahahaha."

"Look at you guys laughing so hard, you shouldn't bet less."

"Not too much, not too much, just bet 200 yuan when it was more than 100 times."

Huaxia netizens are completely crazy. It is no exaggeration to say that the cheers erupting across the country at this moment are more terrifying than some major festivals.

Tongcheng, a certain hospital.

"Mr. Luo, I'm going to teach you about the medical expenses. Would you like to contact your family?"

"No need, I'll teach in a while."

Luo Yang was lying on the hospital bed with a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect that he would be rescued even though he wanted to commit suicide. It was the neighbor's dog who smelled the smell and barked wildly, which caused the neighbor to call the police.

It's just that he didn't have any money to pay for medical expenses. He chose to commit suicide because he didn't want to drag his family down.

Seeing the nurse leave, Luo Yang looked out of the window, and finally decided to walk out of the hospital after thinking about it for a while. The hospital also kindly rescued him, so there was no need to die in the hospital.

Getting off the hospital bed, Luo Yang had just walked out of the ward when he heard cheers coming from the corridor.

"What are you doing, keep your voice down, do you want to be criticized by the head nurse?"

"No, Miss Xiaojing, didn't you watch the live broadcast? Our Huaxia won."

"What won?"

"Go, Huaxia won AlphaGo. I bought 200 yuan for Huaxia to win. The odds are more than 100. I will treat everyone to dinner after get off work in the evening."

Listening to the conversation at the nurse's desk, Luo Yang froze for a moment, and then rushed to the nurse's desk.

"Is the match you're talking about the match between Chinese chess players and AlphaGo?"

Seeing Luo Yang's ferocious expression, the nurse was obviously taken aback, and stammered back: "Yes... yes."

"Can you lend me your phone?"

When Luo Yang was rescued, the mobile phone was still left in the rental house. Now that he took the nurse's mobile phone and watched the news introduction on it, tears flowed unconsciously.

"Thank you."

Returning the phone to the nurse, Luo Yang turned and walked towards the ward, leaving the nurse with a puzzled expression.

"This man is really strange."

At this moment, looking at the sunlight shining from the window of the ward, for some reason, Luo Yang saw something called hope from the sunlight.
