Chapter 168 The Immortal Who Plays Chess

The Go games of this era have not even proposed the concepts of opening, middle game, and official position, let alone the specific methods of each move. Wang Wenlong’s Go vision and set thinking are top-notch in this era, guiding the chess of this era. It's not really difficult for my hands.

As Wang Wenlong's comments on Go were published one after another, his evaluation skills gradually became popular.

Qian Qianyi’s comments on Wang Wenlong’s chess commentary and AlphaGo’s five-game chess score were finally released: “The best chess review in the world is matched by the best chess score in the world.” Many people agreed.

In fact, Wang Wenlong's comments on AlphaGo's game of Go did not reflect AlphaGo's true strength. However, compared with the depth of theoretical research on Go at this time, Wang Wenlong's understanding of Go is already at the top of mankind.

Wang Wenlong's comments and Alpha Dog's chess game are both at the top of human beings at this time and beyond human beings. For people standing on the ground, they are both far higher than them.

The impact of these five games of chess is far from over. As people's Go strength increases, chess players will increasingly discover the power of AlphaGo's five games of Go.

Although the chess players during the Wanli period were surprised by the strength of this game, they thought that with the development of Go technology, Ming chess players fifty years later would be able to see the shortcomings of these five Go games left by Wang Wenlong.

However, fifty years later, the players still could not see the shortcomings of these five games of Go. After repeating this several times: the players were finally surprised to find that no matter how much their Go skills improved, they actually did not see the shortcomings. Find out what problems the two sides have in these five games of Go.

How is this possible that the Go level of the people who played chess back then has surpassed the development of Go in later generations for more than a hundred years?

It was not until the Go AI in this time and space came out, and everyone put these five games into the AI ​​to deduce, that they were surprised to find that the true level of these five games had surpassed the top human chess players at the time by more than three pieces - this is absolutely amazing It is not the height that Go could reach in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, who played these five games of Go has become an unsolved mystery in the world. It is impossible to say that future generations have cheated, because normal people simply cannot play such a game.

However, in the AI ​​era, these five game records have encouraged some simple Go enthusiasts. They use these five game records as evidence and insist that human chess power is possible to defeat AI.

The influence of these five chess games is so profound that many people can only attribute it to gods, and even derived a Taoist school from it.

A hundred years later, Wang Wenlong has become a famous historical figure. In addition, Wang Wenlong and Xu Zhonglin compiled many stories about sword immortals. The ignorant people in the countryside connected them and made up a fairy tale for Wang Wenlong:

When Wang Wenlong was a child, his parents were killed by the Europeans Tu Hua in Southeast Asia. Later, he was kidnapped by the Europeans and used as a slave to sail with him. He encountered a strong storm and drifted to a deserted island. On the island, there was an immortal with white hair and a childish face, who taught Wang Wenlong many magical skills.

Wang Wenlong studied with the immortal for five years and became proficient in astronomy, geography, economics, agriculture and commerce. Then he was sent to sea by the immortal.

This immortal man is of Chinese descent and has lived on the overseas fairy islands for an unknown number of years. At that time, he saw Chinese children being bullied by foreigners and came out of the mountain in anger. He saw that Wang Wenlong was lonely at a young age and extremely intelligent, so he taught him.

What Wang Wenlong learned was only one of a hundred knowledges in the mind of the Immortal. However, after this master taught Wang Wenlong, he disappeared and disappeared into the Immortal Island in the sea, never to be seen again.

Wang Wenlong had already passed away for a long time when this story was compiled, and the content of the study was obviously adapted from the plot of the sword fairy novel written by Wang Wenlong and Xu Zhonglin.

But a hundred years later, some people still believe it.

A hundred years later in this time and space, Nanyang is already a Chinese society. At that time, the Austronesian peoples were also generally naturalized, but they were still discriminated against by people from the Central Plains. The people of Nanyang needed Han nationality beliefs that could improve their status, so Wang Wenlong and those people were really The story of the Immortal Weng is made into a Taoist genre.

The immortal also had a name and a surname. He was the younger brother of Huang Taixian, a Jiaozhi native whom Ge Hong taught and widely believed by the Han people in Nanyang. His name was Huang Yeren.

Huang Ye was born in Jiaozhi. He was not a Han, but an Austronesian ethnic group. People called him "Huang Yigong".

The locals then made up legends that Wang Wenlong's mother was also from Nanyang - so Wang Wenlong, who enjoyed a great reputation in the Central Plains, was also of South Island descent. In their local Taoist school, Huang Yigong was regarded as the main god, and Wang Wenlong, who was taught by him, was also Burn incense and worship. Huang Yigong and Wang Wenlong became the local gods elected by the Austronesian people after their sinicization.

Some people even thought that Huang Yigong was not dead at that time, and was still living on a fairy mountain somewhere in the Indonesian archipelago. In order to compete for the birthplace of the immortal, the locals in Indonesia were filing lawsuits with each other, and each rushed to repair the "Huang Yigong Cultural Park" and "Huang Yigong's Former Residence". Some people said that they had met Huang Yigong, and used this to open a restaurant to recruit disciples to deceive people.

As for the five chess games passed down by Wang Wenlong, they are naturally regarded as proof that Wang Wenlong has met the gods.

……

A gust of autumn wind blew by, and finally it was the beginning of winter in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli.

As one of the four traditional festivals in China, Beginning of Winter is a highly valued festival in this era.

Although Fujian is located in the south, it is not too cold at the beginning of winter, but because of the importance of the beginning of winter, it is celebrated as usual.

In rural areas, every household steams new rice, while in the city, people make new clothes, make new clothes, and eat noodles.

Wang Wenlong felt nothing at the beginning of winter last year, because at that time he had just arrived in this time and space and had no substantial connection with the people around him. People's homes were bustling, but Wang Wenlong only felt deserted after returning home from work.

But this year's Beginning of Winter is completely different. Before the festival comes, the foremen of the wax paper and ink workshops come to their employer's house with gifts to pay homage to the festival.

It is customary at this time for tenants and workers to pay their respects to their employers at the beginning of winter. The gifts are not much, just a little bit of meaning. As usual, it is a piece of pork and a bottle of wine or a pack of foreign sugar.

Wang Wenlong's subtle influence on this era has also appeared. Some people did not give foreign candies, but followed the popular custom and bought a pack of sweet potato vermicelli in the market.

Within a few months, sweet potato vermicelli has been promoted in Fuzhou. Because the price of sweet potato flour is lower than that of mung bean flour, and even less expensive than rice flour, people are gradually trying to use sweet potato flour to make various seasonal foods.

On the day of the Beginning of Winter, Wang Wenlong held another banquet at his home and invited his colleagues from the newspaper office and the top brass in the workshop to have dinner.

The food we eat is not home-cooked. It is customary in Fuzhou to eat mutton soaked in noodles and noodles on the first day of winter. It is believed that the mutton is warm and can replenish the energy for the coming cold winter.

Eating pork had long been popular in Fujian at this time, and Wang Wenlong's family really ate very little mutton, and even Mrs. Ma didn't know how to deal with it. So after being introduced by a local, Wang Wenlong specially asked Wang Pingbao to order a mutton banquet from the famous Aoqiao Sa family in Fuzhou.

The Sa family is from Semu, and their ancestor's surname is "Sadu". The Sa family from Yanmen is a famous family in Fuzhou. They have lived in Fuzhou for more than two hundred years. The family has spread, and several of its descendants have opened mutton shops in the city. It was very famous during the Wanli period. There are also many people in the Sa family who became famous through scientific research. Sa Qi served as the Minister of Rites during the Xuande period. The most familiar person to later generations is Sa Zhenbing, the modern Chinese naval general.

There was a ready-made mutton mat to eat, so Madam Ma took a rest and greeted the guests and the family members together with Mrs. Zhang. Li Guoxian didn't have a status in Wang Wenlong's place yet, but Li Guoxian also came on the day of the meal.

She was almost seventeen years old and had to learn how to treat others. Most everyone also knew Li Guoxian's status in Wang Wenlong's family, so they blushed and let her take the position of mistress.
