Top Student

After lunch, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao walked slowly on the campus of Jijing University, chatting from time to time while admiring the scenery on the campus.

Although the work of scientific research is urgent, there is still necessary time to relax.

Even if the mental value has reached more than 500 points, Xu You still needs to clear the fatigue level regularly.

"Ajimnov contacted me two days ago, hoping to have the opportunity to communicate with me again, and also wanted some students from the Soviet Union to come to us to study in the future and learn some of the latest theories. There is also Schultz, who also has the same I want to recommend students from Germany. This has almost never happened before.”

When Xu You said this, he was in a very good mood.

For a long time, most of the best students in our country will choose to study abroad in pursuit of a better learning environment and learning resources.

Such a choice is very normal. After all, people go to high places and if there is a better environment abroad, studying abroad is indeed a better choice.

Although Xu You did not choose to go abroad, Xu You knew that he was very special, and he could not force others in this respect.

Instead of suggesting that students give up going abroad, it is better to make the domestic learning environment better and make fundamental changes.

After these years of hard work, Xu You has indeed achieved this, making Jijing University and other domestic universities one of the best universities in the world.

Studying in China has become the top choice of many outstanding foreign students.

"Great, this time our excellent students will not be lost to foreign countries. The quality of our students is definitely not inferior to that of foreign countries. When the learning environment improves, our development speed will definitely increase. Fast."

While Xu You and Lu Zhiyao were talking, they suddenly saw a familiar figure walking across from them.

It's Nie Jie.

Nie Jie also noticed Xu You and Lu Zhiyao immediately, and walked up to say hello.

"Academician Xu, long time no see!"

"Nie Jie, didn't you graduate a long time ago, why did you run into the school again?"

"Oh, I just felt a little bored a while ago, so I took another postgraduate course and came to class when I have nothing to do. If I don't play chess in the future, I can also do some academic things like you, hehe."

When old friends met, both of them felt a little excited.

It just so happened that today was not too busy, so Xu You decided to chat with Nie Jie for a while.

"Nie Jie, are you busy today? Why don't you come and sit in my office for a while, and I'll treat you to tea."

"I'm not busy, as long as I don't bother you."

With that said, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao led Nie Jie to Xu You's office.

Lu Zhiyao didn't know Nie Jie well, so she didn't stay with them any longer, and she was looking for Lin Shi to study academic issues together.

After asking Cui Ying to make a pot of good tea, Xu You and Nie Jie chatted alone.

"Xu You, I saw your latest paper. Bi named the most basic particles that make up matter as sunspots and whites. It should be the inspiration found by Go?"

"Yes, the original inspiration did come from Go. There are only two pieces in Go, black and white, but they can form countless possibilities. There are really only two of them.”

When Go was mentioned, Nie Jie's expression became a little excited, as if Xu You's theory also had his share of the credit.

"Why, do you want to play a game of chess together? I asked Teacher Cui to help me prepare the board and pieces." Xu You said.

Nie Jie shook his head when he heard the words, as if he wasn't that interested in playing chess.

"Let's forget about playing chess. Speaking of which, the reason why I want to go to graduate school is largely because I don't want to play chess for the time being. Go has long been a part of my life, but I can't think of anything about playing chess for the time being." interest."

Xu You has not been in contact with Nie Jie recently, but he has some understanding of Nie Jie's recent situation.

For some reason, Nie Jie's recent record is very poor. Not only has he repeatedly lost in duels with South Korean chess players, but he has also suffered upsets against some unknown domestic chess players.

Such a level obviously shouldn't be Nie Jie's normal level.

"Why, Nie Jie, have you encountered any difficulties?" Xu You asked.

"It's not difficult to talk about, maybe it should be encountering demons. Now I really don't have any interest in playing chess. Whether I am playing against AI or human chess players, I feel very painful."

Hearing Nie Jie's inner voice, Xu You couldn't help but sighed softly.

Xu You could understand Nie Jie's mood.

Even Xu You himself was temporarily bored with scientific research.

This kind of psychology is very normal. No matter how much you like a thing, if you keep doing it for decades, you will inevitably have a resistance.

Humans are not machines, and it is impossible to be without emotional fluctuations.

"In fact, when I first played against artificial intelligence, I had some shadows in my heart, but after a long time, the shadows gradually faded away. These days, in the training with artificial intelligence, I have become more and more I feel that I have deviated from my original intention when I learned chess. Do I want to be the best chess player or the best student of artificial intelligence? No matter how hard I try, artificial intelligence will crush me.”

After listening to Nie Jie's voice, Xu You also felt a little empathy.

Lou Song had the same feeling, and Xu You himself had the same feeling.

"To be honest, I don't like this kind of training mode with artificial intelligence. I study the chess moves of the software every day, and use the winning rate to determine which move is better. I don't feel the fun of playing chess at all. Even when I When participating in the competition, I will also wander from time to time to think about these things, and I can't control this emotion myself."

This is why, when the situation is good, Nie Jie will suddenly make a wrong move, resulting in a total loss.

"Nie Jie, speaking of it, everyone has such emotions. You once stood on the top of the Go world, and it is very normal to have these thoughts. Including myself, including Lou Song, in fact, when facing artificial intelligence , have similar ideas.”

"So, Xu You, how did you overcome it?"

"It's very simple, just join if you can't beat it." Xu You said with a smile.

"If you can't beat... just join?"

"Yes. In terms of computing power, we are not only incomparable to artificial intelligence, but even several orders of magnitude worse. Especially in sports like Go, which competes in computing power, human beings are ultimately inferior to artificial intelligence. "
