Cyber Heroes

night.

Lu Xuanyu sat in the center of the stadium, holding his hands back on the ground and looking up at the ceiling. He seemed to be reminiscing about something.

Unlike during the competition, it was quiet now, except for a few robots doing final cleaning.

This stadium was originally built by Superman Enterprises. With Lu Xuanyu's current position, there would be no problem if he said he wanted to come to this place to think about it.

When he was fighting with people during the day, the excited shouts from the audience could not reach his ears at all. But when everything was silent, he seemed to be able to hear the waves in the audience again.

That sound, that sight, and the "feeling" of punches and kicks in the ring were all entangled in his heart.

At this time, Xiang Shan came over and asked, "Old Lu, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Xuanyu patted the dust on his pants and stood up: "Boss, what's the matter?"

He knew very well that if nothing had happened, Xiangshan would not have appeared in this place at this point.

"Calm down, I won't give you any work after work. I just have good news to inform you." Xiang Shan raised his hand, "I'm sorry to interrupt your thinking. What were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed in it."

"I seem to finally know how to go next..." Lu Xuanyu said excitedly: "I have fully experienced the techniques of different schools..."

"Oh? Tell me?"

"When I want to resist my opponent, what moves should I use... When I want to knock down my opponent, what techniques should I use... What techniques should I use to gain an advantage..."

"After experiencing the highest realms under different rules, different genres, and different scenarios, and learning many techniques, I began to realize that similar techniques actually existed in every corner of the world from the beginning..."

"Don't stick to the ideas of the person who created the techniques... Those techniques originally existed in my mind in the form of fragments. But this time, I seem to have a vague awareness of how to combine them... The martial arts I long for , is a combination form and a style." Lu Xuanyu said: "It should be able to adapt to various environments, with empty-handed routines, and with weapons, with weapons. In the boxing ring, it can be used in the form of boxing Show. In the free fighting ring, it also has a suitable form of expression... It is very 'big', and each scene can only show one side of it. But a leaf knows the autumn... No matter what form the technical moves are combined in, Everyone else can see that... that 'style'. This is my ideal. 'The impossible is the law, the infinite is the finite'."

Xiang Shan thought for a moment: "But, with such a wide range of exposure, it cannot be compared to specialization in a single field, right?"

"As you said before, it is necessary for both scientists who study theory and scientists who are engaged in engineering implementation." Lu Xuanyu scratched his head, "Well, there are people who are responsible for reading many martial arts and developing theories, and there are people who are responsible for specific rules and regulations. Realizing it in the arena? The former and the latter go hand in hand..."

"Then in what form should this organization that develops martial arts exist and how should it be maintained..." Xiangshan saw a confused expression on Lu Xuanyu's face and changed directions: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you these vulgar things. of."

"I really should think about it in the future. I have to think about it sooner or later." Lu Xuanyu pointed to his temple: "But now my mind is full of... all... martial arts things. This feeling is not enough, Can’t catch it.”

"Tomorrow is the most critical game. I want to think about it more."

"Ahem..." Xiang Shan coughed twice, his expression a little embarrassed: "Well, how should I put it... Then the good news I want to say may not be good news for you."

Lu Xuanyu scratched his head: "What's going on?"

"Tomorrow's game, those two companies, are related to the gambling agreement." Xiang Shanyi spread his hands: "Others have already acquiesced that they have lost, and cooperation has begun."

Lu Xuanyu was stunned: "This?"

"One is a robot R\u0026D company from the West. They retrained themselves based on the robot sparring partners we sold." Xiang Shan said: "They were very confident. Because according to the simulation results, under the boxing rules, they The cultivated AI boxing champion can achieve a 100% winning rate against the real boxing champion. However, for this kind of corporate competition, it is us who come up with the rules. At the beginning, we set the 'open rules'... any technology can be used That kind of thing.”

"Because there are too many possibilities, the strategic game is too opaque, and the calculation is very troublesome for AI. Their current assessment is that the AI ​​boxer cannot beat you under the current rules."

This is the first time Lu Xuanyu knows the details of the other two "corporate-sponsored players". He asked hurriedly: "What about the rest?"

"The military industrial group from the north, because they were unwilling to give up the exoskeleton route they had pushed for in the past, hired a warrior to wear an exoskeleton to fight you. The exoskeleton's auxiliary AI was also trained in a similar way. ." Xiang Shan shook his head, "Then, they have now realized that among the exoskeleton warriors, the natural human warriors inside the exoskeleton are a pure drag. If you look through the social news or financial pages, you can see that military industry company Internal personnel changes. As you progress through the game, the exoskeleton faction is gradually losing ground."

"Of course, exoskeleton technology and prosthetic technology have similarities, but from the perspective of project establishment, they are two unrelated projects and are handled by different people." Xiang Shan shrugged: "You don't have to worry about this aspect. "

Lu Xuanyu couldn't laugh or cry: "The game...is over?"

"The competition is still going on." Xiang Shan took out a storage device: "This is the training data of the AI ​​boxer. It was shared in the cooperation project. I asked Zhenwu to run for a while. There are dozens of possible deployment routes and countermeasures in it. .You can take a look for yourself.”

Lu Xuanyu hesitated: "Can I not read it?"

"Okay." Xiang Shan put it away: "Actually, your winning rate is quite high. Really."

…………………………………………

Lu Xuanyu raised his head and looked at the headlight above his head.

The roar of the ace commentator echoed in the ears: "Sure enough! Sure enough! Our Lu! The undefeated Lu! is invincible! Modified humans are better than natural humans, but pure machines cannot defeat humans. He has proven himself! His victory is not the victory of machines, but the victory of mankind!"

Lu Xuanyu looked at the robot getting up and finally understood why Xiang Shan said that his winning rate was quite high.

This robot only has top-notch boxing skills. After that, it only adds some free-fighting skills.

Under this rule that forces MMA to be more open and free...

The little technology this robot possesses can only be described as tragic.

He was very suspicious that there was something wrong with the training data provided by the "friendly business" to the AI. Or did Xiangshan make them misjudge the rules of the game or something...

Lu Xuanyu didn't even use many techniques outside of boxing rules.

He just used the idea shown by Lao Yuan to make the robot misjudge his intentions.

Just like this, after several heavy blows, the robot was overwhelmed and immediately lost its balance.

Fighting against a machine doesn’t feel like fighting against a human…

I can't feel the fluctuations of emotions, nor can I feel the changes in the thoughts behind the moves. There is no sense of "predicting the opponent's strategy based on emotions"...

Lu Xuanyu raised his head again.

not enough.

This robot is obviously not strong enough.

He also longs for more opponents to charm him. He felt that he was still a little bit... almost...

When a staff member prompted him to leave, he was still thinking.

When Lu Xuanyu opened the door and walked into the lounge, an unexpected voice stopped him: "Lu. It seems that you are doing well now."

Lu Xuanyu was startled, then turned around: "Teacher Als? This is... why are you here?"

The old man in front of him was the master who taught him Jeet Kune Do. He was also the benefactor who traveled thousands of miles to wake him up in a turbulent international environment after his car accident.

Als nodded and said with a smile: "You don't know yet. I will be your opponent in the next match."

Lu Xuanyu's eyes widened: "How...how could such a coincidence happen?"

"My current boss thinks that since Superman Enterprises pushed you out, they should find someone with moves similar to yours to eliminate interference factors to prove the power of the exoskeleton." The old boxer shook his head, "But after looking at you In the competition, I know I probably won’t be able to beat you.”

In this game, the limiting condition is "weight". The combined weight of the old boxer and his exoskeleton is Lu Xuanyu's usable weight.

Xiangshan is not worried at all about the "AI faction" coming to compete with him for resources, because the prosthetics cannot do without AI assistance. However, in Xiangshan's eyes, the "exoskeleton faction" falls into the category of "political enemies" and is a waste of valuable research resources.

So in terms of rules, Xiang Shan was not polite at all.

The weight of a natural person plus the exoskeleton is equal to the weight that Lu Xuanyu can use. Lu Xuanyu has never fought such a rich battle. To put it bluntly, in this kind of competition, except for the brain, every extra gram of flesh and blood is one more gram of burden.

And specifically speaking of each gram of flesh and blood, there is a big difference between one gram of baseline human flesh and one gram of Homo sapiens flesh.

Even the performance of the brain... Every nerve cell in Lu Xuanyu is stronger than Homo sapiens, and the signal transmission speed is faster.

Not to mention, the human joints wrapped under the exoskeleton are still restricted by the human body structure itself.

"It doesn't matter whether we win or not. My current boss told me a few days ago." Als said with a smile: "I am old. If I don't accept this invitation, I will probably never have the opportunity to use my skills to the fullest." That’s what I’m saying. I want to fully demonstrate the skills I’ve practiced all my life.”

"I watched your game. I know that you are much better than me now, even if it only counts in terms of technique. However, I still want to use this method to discuss the meaning of Jeet Kune Do with you."
