Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

“…Huh?!”×4
The voice of Yong Shi Zhaojun, emanating from the loudspeaker, still lingered in the conference room, yet the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Rui Zhao's calm yet undeniably powerful words, like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirred up huge waves in everyone's hearts!

Everyone was very surprised to hear this, and their faces instantly showed an expression of not knowing what to do!
Ai Jianan, in particular, visibly stiffened, her eyes filled with astonishment and worry!

She abruptly turned to the camera and said urgently:
"...Little Zhao Miao! Stop messing around!"

"You need to understand that if you lose this game, the impact on your reputation will be enormous!"

"Sister An'an, I'm not being silly."

On the other end of the screen, Rui Zhao's expression remained calm, her voice gentle yet carrying a detached firmness, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself:
"I don't care about other people's opinions, reputation and such... they mean nothing to me."

"If we back down now, we may never have such a good opportunity again!"

After these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent once again.

Gou Shuci, Shang Chaotian, Lu Wenjie, and even Ai Jian'an... all showed varying degrees of deep thought and solemnity on their faces.

Indeed, as Rui Zhao said: Faced with the media bullying of the Blue Star hegemony, the "pro-encirclement faction" should normally be powerless to resist!
The fact that they were able to gain the upper hand at one point and even force the other side to fight back was due to Yong Shi Zhaojun's unparalleled strength and her indomitable and unyielding spirit!

This momentum is like an unstoppable sword, uniting people's hearts and intimidating the opponent! But if we give in and admit defeat now, it will be a case of "one effort, then decline, then exhaustion"!
The momentum that had been painstakingly built up will dissipate in an instant, and the path for Go to be included in the Olympics will once again become a distant dream!

This realization, like a cold, hard reality, is clearly laid out before everyone!

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Rui Zhao on the screen raised her voice and gave an encouraging smile:

"what……

"Don't have so little faith in me!"

Her gaze swept over everyone on the screen, her tone laced with a hint of playfulness and confidence:

"Although the AI ​​is indeed very strong... it is not invincible—for example, during recent practice, I felt that the AI's attack and defense judgments were sometimes inferior to mine!"
"To back down now would be to fail at the last hurdle!"

...Hmm...

Everyone knows that AI is not perfect...

Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

The problem is that if you don't actually win, someone else can shut you down with just one sentence!
Rui Zhao, that kid... she really won't give up until she hits a brick wall!
Despite his inner turmoil, Lu Wenjie didn't say anything more on the surface.

Having said all that, everyone understood that Rui Zhao's mind was made up. Further persuasion would be a waste of time, energy, and breath.

"……I see!"

So, Gou Shuci broke the silence first.

He took a deep breath, leaned slightly forward towards the camera, and said with a look that was both helpless and determined:
"If you need any support after that, just let me know!"
"Even if we fail to master AI, we might not be able to control the international online environment, but the domestic public opinion environment... I can still guarantee you on behalf of the official body! It will absolutely not affect you or your family and friends!"

"Thank you, Director Gou!"

Rui Zhao nodded slightly to the camera in thanks, then turned her gaze to Ai Jian'an:
"Then... Sister An'an..."

"Let's prepare for battle!"

"..."

Even now, Ai Jianan still clearly felt a sense of unreality.

Uh, no?!

So we're going to have to go head-to-head with AI?!
Wasn't this decision made way too quickly?!
Despite knowing that with Rui Zhao's statement, the competition against AI was almost inevitable, Miss Ai unconsciously pressed her hands together a few times in front of her, as if to help Rui Zhao calm down:

"Xiao Zhao! This isn't something that can be resolved with just a simple 'accept the challenge'!"

"How to respond, how to handle public relations, how to prepare—it's a whole set of things that need to be considered, each link in the chain..."

"Then, Sister An'an, could you please contact Lei Qi and Li Jingzhe now?"

Before Ai Jianan could finish speaking, the Athena of the Chess World interrupted her almost without thinking:
"Let's start discussing this now and make a decision as soon as possible!"

"..."

When did this goofy guy become so decisive and efficient?!
Ai Jianan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, but after thinking for several seconds, she couldn't think of anything else to say, so she could only honestly reply:

"...Okay! I get it!"
"I'll contact Lei Qi and Li Jingzhe right away to plan how to respond!"

"Oh right, Sister An'an!"

Upon hearing the name "Li Jingzhe," Rui Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something:
"While you're at it, tell Li Jingzhe to send me all the data on those few thousand suspected blind spots that the supercomputer found earlier!"

"...Hmm? What do you need these for?!"

Ai Jian'an was suddenly startled, and even Gou Shanglu and the other two were clearly puzzled:

"Didn't they all say that those data calculations were essentially a waste of time?"

"Hmm...I don't think that's entirely accurate!"

Rui Zhao shook her head and immediately explained:

"I am currently the one who uses the AI ​​that Li Jingzhe optimized and developed the most, and I am also very aware of the power of this AI!"
"While there may still be quite a few bugs at the moment, it has indeed demonstrated a significantly higher level of performance—including the fact that I've recently been able to identify the weaknesses of other AIs in attacking thick and thin targets, which is also a result of learning from this AI..."

"Therefore, I have great faith in Li Jingzhe's abilities! I am also very certain that among these thousands of suspected blind spots, there must be genuine AI blind spots!"

"It's just that... right now this gold is mixed in with a pile of sand!"

Rui Zhao used a vivid metaphor to explain the current situation, and then went on to elaborate on her plan:
"So, during this time before the competition, I can first go to the manual screening to find the real blind spots!"

"Maybe we'll find a powerful weapon to deal with AI!"

After listening, Ai Jian'an frowned immediately and then pointed out the key issue:

"Xiao Zhao!"
"There's just too much to screen! And this analysis and judgment is extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive—Lei Qi said before that he might only be able to screen two or three blind spots a day!"

"If we were to step forward and fight now, the other side would certainly not give us much time to prepare! A month would probably be the limit!"
"Even if your guess is true, in this short time you might be able to sift out one or two knives at most, which is far from enough to build a stockpile and guarantee stable use!"

"Moreover, if you focus your main energy on finding blind spots, your performance will definitely be affected to some extent!"

"After the Leiqi Tianyuan Tournament, there was no systematic training for a period of time, and his condition fluctuated significantly during this period, which made his performance in the Special Challenge and the Sanshuang Cup less than satisfactory!"

"...Hmm...that's true..."

Upon hearing Ai Jian'an's analysis, Rui Zhao's expression revealed a rare, almost imperceptible hint of helplessness; the corners of her mouth turned down slightly. However, she quickly forced a smile that conveyed optimism and perseverance.

"But if I had throwing knives to support me... I would definitely feel much more confident, so even just one or two would be good!"

"So, I still want to give it a try..."

"Hey, you two, wait a minute!"

Just then, Shang Chaotian, who had been quietly listening to their conversation on the screen, suddenly interrupted:
"Can someone else do this for me?"

Rui Zhao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:
"...not really."

“I heard Lei Qi say that manual verification requires sufficient chess skill to judge situations that even AI can make mistakes in. It’s a very meticulous task that even high-level players can’t do well. It’s not something that can be done simply by hiring someone.”

However… Shang Chaotian did not give up. He almost immediately pressed on, asking:

"...So that means we just need to hire a high-ranking player, right?"

Hearing this, Ai Jian'an was slightly taken aback, as if she was trying to understand the meaning behind Shang Chaotian's words.

Rui Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up! As if she had been instantly enlightened:
"Eh...that's true!"

"In that case... I can also ask Brother Zeng to help with the screening!"

"...Hey, don't just leave one person alone when you're trying to fleece them!"
"Otherwise, I'm really afraid that something might happen to Zeng Guangwen one day!"

Seeing Rui Zhao's belated realization, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but shake his head, a "I knew it" smile appearing on his face. But his voice carried the decisiveness and resolve befitting a chess association chairman:
"It's not just Zeng Guangwen!"
"As long as Rui Zhao believes that there are definitely real AI blind spots here... things are simple now!"

"Since there aren't many competitions recently, let's gather all the active high-ranking players under the China Chess Association to help us filter all the data from before!"

His tone was resolute, as if he were issuing an unquestionable order!
"all?!"

Rui Zhao's eyes widened instantly, then she subconsciously waved her hands repeatedly, as if she felt that her matter was not worth making such a fuss about:

No, no!
"It's not appropriate for me to trouble all the high-ranking players with my own issue..."

"How could this be a problem for just you!"

At this moment, Gou Shuci interjected, his voice booming like a bell, echoing throughout the conference room.

His tone softened slightly, but still carried an undeniable force as he spoke, word by word:

"...And the fact that you can say something like that shows that you have absolutely no idea about your own influence and appeal!"

"Rui Zhao! You have done so much for the entire Chinese chess world..."

"Now it's time for us to repay you!" (End of Chapter)
