Chapter 187 "Meng Guangkang — Dismissed!!!" (6,000-word chapter, first update)
"Gu Jie voted again!" Liu Wenxiao looked excited.
Although it was still the New Year's Day holiday, almost everyone in the Youzi Technology office was there. When Gu Jie resigned, they all cheered excitedly.
That’s right, you can work overtime on holidays on your own initiative and you don’t have to pay a penny for overtime pay. It’s a great profit.
Liu Wenxiao doesn't know Go and has only a vague understanding of the rules, but this time he participated in the data enhancement work of Orange's large model 0.12 in the adversarial network. Seeing Orange defeat the current number one Go player twice, Liu Wenxiao also felt proud.
"Yes, I voted again." Hua Zecheng sighed with a complicated expression on his face.
Unlike Liu Wenxiao, Hua Zecheng is half a Go enthusiast and sometimes looks at game records.
The more fans you are, the more you understand what this battle means.
Following chess, Go, the last stronghold of mankind in board games and the pinnacle of human intelligence, has finally been broken by artificial intelligence.
This also means that in the near future, there may be more and more fields where humans will be replaced by artificial intelligence.
Will there be a day when the human species itself will be replaced by AI?
Hua Zecheng suddenly realized that as an artificial intelligence researcher who dreamed of creating strong artificial intelligence every day, when he actually incubated an artificial intelligence with his own hands and watched it defeat humans in the field where humans are best, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear.
"Teacher Hua, have you noticed? The decision-making and search mechanism used by Orange in its adversarial network self-play training and actual competitions isn't MCTS, yet it doesn't face dimensionality explosion or computational resource limitations?"
MCTS stands for Monte Carlo Tree Search, a heuristic search algorithm proposed ten years ago for decision-making processes, particularly suitable for chess games.
Almost everyone who does artificial intelligence research knows that if there is an artificial intelligence that can beat humans in the field of Go, it must use MCTS, otherwise the computer's computing power will not be able to meet the changes in the 19*19 chessboard.
MCTS is a very important component of many deep learning algorithms nowadays.
Amid the frenetic atmosphere of the office, Lu Si's expression remained calm, his eyes fixed on the screen, analyzing the analytical decision-making mechanism adopted by the Orange Model in the two rounds of games.
Hearing Lu Si's question, Hua Zecheng came back to his senses and bent over to look for a moment. "Indeed, Orange's decision-making mechanism seems to be more direct. Instead of performing a full-game simulation for each move, they preset a probability in advance. Then, based on this probability, they perform block calculations, which greatly reduces the amount of computation."
"The problem is how this probability is determined." Lu Si pointed at the screen. "I still don't quite understand the convergence process here. I plan to ask my boss tomorrow."
As they were talking, they saw Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao coming down from upstairs, talking and laughing, carrying two large bags filled with balloons, trumpets and other things.
"Teacher Hua, Sister Lu Si, we're leaving first." Chen Shuyao greeted the two with a smile.
"Are you guys...having an event at school?" Lu Si turned his head to take a look.
Lu Si has a pretty good relationship with the two of them.
Chen Shuyao is good at dancing with long sleeves, while Lu Jiayan is a natural-looking naiveté. Although one of them works in human resources and the other in charge of finance, neither of them is a popular position, but the one in human resources does not shirk her duties, and the one in charge of finance does not embezzle money. In addition, they are all beautiful women, so they are naturally popular.
"Yes, Fang Yu has a basketball game at the Donghai Gymnasium this afternoon. We are organizing some classmates to go and cheer for him. Do you want to go with us?" Chen Shuyao shook her little hands and clapped, making a clapping sound.
After that, Chen Shuyao added to the others, "Today, many girls from National University went to the scene to cheer. I heard that Jinda even brought the UBA League cheerleaders from Yingzhou."
Except for Lu Si, there is no woman in the technical team of Youzi Technology. They are all single guys working on data and algorithms. When they heard about the cheerleading team of Yingzhou Jinda, they were a little agitated.
Yingzhou's cheerleaders! The cheerleaders dancing on the field with their thighs exposed!
Soft and sweet cheerleaders!
UBA girls!
Yingzhou is an integral part of the Great Zhou territory!
Moreover, since the two beautiful girls from Yuzu were also going to watch the game, they wanted to go even more.
These days, these tech geeks have been chatting privately about Chen Shuyao and Lu Jiayan, and many of them have even sent their photos to their WeChat groups to brag about them.
Many people's motivation for going to work every day is to be in the same office with them.
Hua Zecheng is actually not married. People call him Teacher Hua because he used to be a teacher and has a high status in the industry. But he is actually not very old and is only 32 years old this year.
"Lu Si, you've been busy for several days. Do you want to take the team over to watch it? I think everyone wants to go." Hua Zecheng tried hard to make an expression that said he didn't want to watch the cheerleaders but wanted to satisfy the team's wishes, and persuaded Lu Si to go watch the game as well.
"Go watch a game?" Lu Si was stunned at first, then something came to his mind. He just happened to have some questions to ask Fang Yu. If he finished the game, maybe he could solve the problem today.
However, if Chen Shuyao hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered that this genius who created the world's first artificial intelligence was just a sophomore.
I always forget this.
Youzi Technology now has five Buick business top-of-the-line vehicles, all of which were used to offset taxes for spring tours and then loaned to Youzi Technology for free.
Hua Zecheng and Lu Si are both allocated separate cars, and others can apply for their use at any time if they need them.
Lu Si and Hua Zecheng both have driver's licenses. They each drove a car and took the office workers who came to work overtime today, and followed the navigation to the Donghai Gymnasium.
Donghai Gymnasium is a dedicated basketball venue and one of the two home stadiums of the Haixi team in the CBA league. It can accommodate more than 5,000 spectators.
"There are quite a few students from National University who come to watch the game." Hua Zecheng was a little surprised when he entered the stadium.
Half of the stadium, which can accommodate more than 5,000 spectators, was closed, leaving less than 3,000 seats. The occupancy rate of these 3,000 seats was over 60%.
Generally speaking, for college competitions like CUBA, few people watch them except for important games like the divisional semifinals and finals or the national semifinals.
It’s just an inter-school invitational tournament, not a league, so why are there so many people?
Moreover, many of them don’t look young anymore, so why would they still come to watch this kind of competition?
However, there are really a lot of girls in the national university, and the quality is pretty good, not as bad as the legend says.
Hua Zecheng didn't know that this was mainly due to the merger of the National University with the Academy of Social Sciences last year. Most of the beautiful students couldn't get into the National University.
Under the guidance of Shen Shuyao, a dozen people from Youzi Technology sat in the dozen or so seats reserved in the first row.
First, the leaders of both sides spoke. The status of both sides was very high, including the president of the National University and the first vice president sent by Jinan University. Then, student representatives spoke. The speeches had been reviewed in advance, so there were no unexpected incidents.
Entering the gymnasium, there was warm air inside. Chen Shuyao, Lu Jiayan and a dozen other girls from National University had already changed into basketball vests and shorts printed with the National University logo. They held balloon sticks and small hand claps as cheerleaders, cheering for National University on the sidelines.
On the opposite side, there were 11 young girls from the National University cheerleading team who were dressed more coolly and whose average quality far exceeded that of the other girls except Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao. They held white trumpets, showed off their beautiful figures, and cheered for Jinan University.
"Huh? Why isn't my cousin on the court? He's sitting on the sidelines?" As soon as the players from both teams came on the court, Lu Jiayan noticed something was wrong.
The video of Fang Yu completely defeating Li Haidong on the day of the review competition has already spread among various groups in the National University. Many students who follow CUBA are still cheering. Li Haidong + Fang Yu, this year's CUBA is secure.
It is understandable that Li Haidong did not play, as he is a sports student himself. But why did Fang Yu not play?
Chen Shuyao didn't understand basketball, but she understood the ways of the world. When she saw the expressions of Fang Yu, Meng Guangkang and many other players, she knew that something must have gone wrong before.
At this moment, Shen Shuyao's cell phone rang. She picked it up and took a look. She was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing.
The starting players of both teams came on the court.
Fang Yu sat on the bench, crossed her legs, put her arm around Liu Ka-shing's shoulders, and looked relaxed.
Meng Guangkang was not so relaxed. The moment he saw Jinda's starting lineup, his face turned black.
His face was as dark as that of the starting power forward at Jinda University.
"Shameless! This is a violation! We agreed that only ordinary undergraduates can attend! Is this Tama an ordinary student? Tang An? Tama and Zhou Wenming?" If the school leaders were not here, Meng Guangkang would have started cursing long ago.
Even so, Meng Guangkang quickly found the director of the Sports Department who was present to report the situation.
The director of the sports department was also sulking. It was clearly agreed before the game that special admissions would not be allowed. Was Jinda University being unethical?
You said that your Jinan University doesn't have any special admissions students, so we can't enroll in special admissions either. Ok, no problem. So what's the matter with you creating this little white horse with sunshine and rainbow?
Don't suffer in silence.
The director of the athletic department turned around and went to find the head coach of Jinda.
Within five minutes, the director of the sports department returned to the national rest area with a gloomy look on his face.
"This guy's name is Amari Thomas. He's named Tang An. He's an international student from Miami who got into Jinan University through normal admissions. So they're not breaking the rules. Furthermore, they said they gave us the roster a long time ago, and we didn't raise any objections. The game is almost here, so they can't make substitutions."
"Why didn't you figure it out in advance? There are only twelve people on the player list, how could they be missed?" The director of the Sports Department pointed at Meng Guangkang and criticized him.
Meng Guangkang was speechless.
Can I be blamed for this? The main players on the list they submitted are all on it, only Tang An is a new addition, and he is at the end of the list. Besides, who would know from his name that he likes picking cotton?
The five starting players of the national team were also confused.
What's going on? Why is there this big black guy? How can we fight him?
It’s not that they don’t have ambition, but mainly in basketball, the Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse’s dominance is too strong, basically a cliff-like lead, and the more amateur the field, the greater the gap.
There is no way. The mass base of basketball is different and the degree of attention is also different.
In fact, there are many so-called streetball kings in Da Zhou who have gone to Miami to play streetball with the local community young people. The level gap is even greater than the gap between the Da Zhou team and the Dream Team.
Moreover, if the big black guy who suddenly appeared at this time did not have the strength, he would not be allowed to play.
Sure enough, as soon as the referee blew the whistle, the five starting players of Guoli began to be beaten badly.
Tang An is 1.9 meters tall and has muscles all over his body. He is only two centimeters shorter than Jinan University's starting center. In fact, he basically takes care of the work of the three positions: small forward, power forward, and center.
In addition, Jinan University's ace players Wu Pinrui and Lin Dongyan are no pushovers. Lin Dongyan's technical and tactical abilities are only slightly inferior to Lin An's, but Wu Pinrui is obviously much stronger than his opponent Li Dongdong.
In the first ten minutes of the first quarter, Guoli basically didn't grab a single rebound. If it weren't for the fact that the level of the other two players from Jinda University was indeed lower than that of Guoli, Guoli would not have scored a single point.
"Bang!" Tang An made a heavy dunk, ending the score of the first quarter.
25:6!
The bright red score was displayed on six large screens on the sidelines.
The stadium was completely silent except for Jin Da's laughter.
Before Jin Da left the court, he deliberately bumped into the national players with his shoulder. Wu Pinrui even gave the national players a thumbs-down sign with a cocky look on his face.
"Coach Meng, this won't work. We can't defend him at all." Hu Weichao started complaining.
"Yes, coach, we must find a way to replace him with someone who can at least compete with him physically." Qin Duanzhi lifted up his jersey to wipe the sweat off his forehead. When he said this, he was almost suggesting to Meng Guangkang to replace Fang Yu.
Just now, as a center, he faced off against Tang An many times when neither the small forward nor the power forward could defend Tang An alone, which consumed a lot of physical energy. But through the contact in the past few days before the game, he felt that Tang An's physical fitness should not be as abnormal as Fang Yu. If Fang Yu were on the field, he should at least be able to greatly limit Tang An's performance.
By then, National University will have an advantage over Jinda in several other positions. Even if the gap in the previous position cannot be narrowed, at least they will not lose so badly.
Meng Guangkang's face turned pale.
"If I'm not allowed to play, Guoli will suffer a crushing defeat." Fang Yu said quietly, swinging his legs.
"Hmph!" Meng Guangkang glanced at Fang Yu with disdain.
You go? Even if you're better than the others, are you better than that black guy?
Your score on the grading sheet is not high enough, so you can’t go in!
Meng Guangkang gritted his teeth and ignored Fang Yu. He replaced the player with a power forward and asked the power forward and the center to double-team Tang An at all times to prevent him from getting hurt.
Several team members, still sweating profusely in the middle of winter, surrounded Meng Guangkang and were not even in the mood to glance at the cheerleading performance on the field.
As agreed at the beginning, UBA Girls started their cheerleading performance in the first quarter.
There are four quarters in total, with a five-minute break between periods and a ten-minute halftime break.
The cheerleaders danced for three minutes on the field and then waved their hands as they left the field. There were actually a few male students from the national university in the audience cheering for them.
"Jingyi, did you see that just now? Wu Pinrui is so handsome and his shooting is so accurate." A sweet-looking cheerleader quietly nudged her companion next to her.
Jingyi's female companion chuckled, "Lin Jiating, are you trying to hook up with Yandu Sang again? Wu Pinrui is good, but Tang An is still more powerful." (Note 1)
Lin Jiating's sweet face showed a trace of disgust and fear: "It's too dark, I don't want it!"
Jingyi smiled and said, "You'll know once you try it. It's really amazing. A hamster eating a banana~"
Lin Jiating giggled and shook her head, and suddenly felt someone bump into her. She turned around and saw that it was a handsome guy who had been sitting on the national bench who was passing by her.
"Hey, this handsome guy is not bad. He is taller than Wu Pinrui and almost the same height as Tang An. Why didn't Guoli let him play?" Lin Jiating whispered curiously to his companions.
Jingyi shook her head with disdain. "If he can't play, it means he's not strong enough. Besides, they're so weak. 25-6 in the first quarter. I don't think they'll even score 20 points in the whole game. Huh? Why is he running out there?"
Fang Yu just picked up a basketball from the sidelines, patted it twice, and started running.
"Bang!" One-handed dunk!
Several members of Jinda's team turned their attention.
"What's the point of just being able to dunk? He's just a substitute player, no need to watch him."
"Huh? Was that gesture he just made provocatively?"
"It seems like there's more to come?"
"Bang!" Turn 360 degrees!
"He has pretty good jumping ability. How ridiculous! He's just a substitute, yet he dares to provoke us. We just beat their main players 25:6."
"Bang!" Back-to-the-basket dunk!
“…”
Before the players officially came on the court, Fang Yu made three consecutive dunks, attracting the attention of everyone in the stadium.
"Hey! Look, Fang Yu is dunking!"
"What does it matter if you dunk well? You still can't play."
"It's right not to let him play. He's not a professional and hasn't practiced for long. A short video alone can't prove anything."
"Li Haidong may not agree with what you say."
"Stop arguing, he seems to want to keep dunking? Why does it feel like he's holding his breath?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fang Yu dribbled the ball a few times quickly, took a step from outside the free throw line, leaped high, and slammed the ball into the basket!
"Bang!!!!!!!"
"Crackle, crackle, snap!"
The backboard made of polymethyl methacrylate shattered after a struggle and twist!
Wow~
There was an uproar in the stadium.
He actually broke the backboard! ?
Only O'Neal has done this kind of thing, right?
If the first three dunks could be considered as fancy moves, then the final dunk that broke the backboard was far beyond everyone present's understanding of strength!
With this kind of absolute power, even a layman who has only practiced basketball for ten days should be the absolute main force in this kind of game!
Just relying on physical defense, you can kill the opponent's ace player!
The players and coaches of Jinda University, who had just been making sarcastic remarks, now had mouths so big that they could each fit a tea egg in them.
"It must be because the quality of their rebounds is too poor." After a long time, a player from Jinda University muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, that's right!"
"If he's really that good, why wouldn't their coach let him play?"
Yes, why didn’t Meng Guangkang let him play?
The school leaders present also asked the director of the Sports Department this question. The director was sweating and thought to himself, how would I know why Meng Guangkang didn't let this player play?
If it was just because the opponent fielded a small white horse, even if the National University suffered a crushing defeat, the Ministry of Sports and Meng Guangkang could completely shift the blame.
But if your team already has strong players, but the coach refuses to let them play, resulting in a humiliating defeat, then the problem is much more serious.
Before Fang Yu walked off the court, he stopped in the middle of the court and made a gesture of pinching his little finger towards the Jinda bench.
"This is the last chance, seize it, Coach Meng." Fang Yu walked in front of Meng Guangkang and said condescendingly.
Meng Guangkang was so angry that three veins popped out on his neck.
Too arrogant! Too arrogant! Too arrogant!
Apart from Meng Guangkang, the people who had the most headaches were the staff at the Donghai Gymnasium.
Fortunately, there was a spare backboard, so we quickly sent a maintenance worker to replace it and clean up the scene. Otherwise, how could we continue playing?
It's such a beast!
He actually broke the backboard with one dunk. How much strength does that take?
Although our backboard is still the old-fashioned one, its load-bearing capacity is definitely over 300 kilograms. This guy doesn't look that heavy, so how did he break it?
We have to ask Guoli for compensation!
Meng Guangkang was also confused by Fang Yu's "bad words". The break was extended for 20 minutes because of the broken backboard. During the break, the director of the Sports Department sent him a WeChat message, asking him to make a substitution quickly, but he ignored it.
After the scene was cleaned up and the second quarter began, all the national spectators present found that it was the same players who had just come on the court, and the one who came on was not Fang Yu who had broken the backboard by dunking.
What is this stupid coach thinking?
Meng Guangkang's eyes were red and his teeth were almost broken. He had only one thought in his mind - as long as I'm here, you can't go on stage!
As a result, Fang Yu's provocation worked. At the beginning of the game, Wu Pinrui dunked the ball fiercely under the cover of Tang An, and then he scored all the goals. In just three minutes, it was a 10-0 climax.
The live score was already 35-6.
Basically, the overall situation has been decided and it will be useless to change anyone.
There was silence in the Donghai Gymnasium.
Just at this moment, a girl at the scene suddenly shouted.
"Change to Fang Yu!"
"Change to Fang Yu!"
"Change to Fang Yu!"
Then, the classmates around her also started shouting, and in just a few seconds, the shouts resounded throughout the entire venue!
"Change to Fang Yu!!!"
"Change to Fang Yu!!!"
"Change to Fang Yu!!!"
Meng Guangkang stood on the sidelines, his arms folded across his chest, his face ashen, his lips tightly pursed.
What do you people know? According to my scoring sheet, he shouldn't be playing! As long as we stick to my way, even if we fail this time, the national basketball team will only get stronger!
You short-sighted amateurs!
Do you understand what team management is?
The shouts in the stadium became louder and louder. No one knew when it started, and no one knew who led it, but the shouts gradually changed from "Replace Fang Yu".
It became——
"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
…
This Lu Si is not one of the female protagonists.
