Outside the Qiyuan.
The sound of firecrackers rang out. No one knew who set them off, but several strings of firecrackers went off. It sounded like it was the new year.
The faint shouts of the people could be heard.
"Face-smacking Zhang is almighty!"
"Face-smacking Zhang is almighty!"
"Face-smacking Zhang is almighty!"
"Go home, Americans!"
"Hahahahaha!"
The people waiting at the entrance were overjoyed!
Inside.
Zhang Ye's cell phone was exploding with calls!
His eldest younger sister's call.
"Bro! You're so awesome! "
"Haha, that's for sure!"
"I want to learn Go too. Teach me."
"Fuck, you don't have the talent. Forget it."
B-list singer Xiaodong's call.
"You're so awesome!"
"Haha, I guess so."
"Damn, who could have thought that you would really win! All of us were watching the live broadcast. Me, Amy, Xiaoxian, and everyone else were dumbfounded! "
More than a dozen calls!
His friends and relatives took turns to call him!
After hanging up the last call, Zhang Ye was quite happy. On a whim, he opened his mouth and started singing.
"Being invincible is so, so lonely.
"Being invincible is so, so empty.
"Standing alone at the summit, the cold wind blows incessantly.
"My loneliness, who can understand me!"
Zhang Ye was getting more and more excited as he sang.
"Being invincible is so, so lonely.
"Being invincible is so, so empty.
"She who is hiding in the horizon, will you listen to me!"
"My loneliness!
"Endless loneliness!!!"
Zhang Ye did not even notice that there were several reporters and cameras nearby. He just casually sang a song from his previous world, "Invincible."
The reporters were dumbfounded by what they heard!
The cameraman nearly burst out laughing!
He was too cocky!
This fellow was too cocky!
A middle-aged reporter suddenly looked at the cameraman and said loudly, "Did you record that? Did you record that part of the song? "
The cameraman was taken aback. He quickly checked it and said, "Uh, we recorded it!"
"That's great!" The reporters were all very excited!
No matter what, this was still Zhang Ye's new song!
...
Over there.
Everyone had arrived.
Zhang Ye was invited along with the people from the Qiyuan and the Americans.
The press conference began. This was also the biggest press conference of the three matches. Almost all the media outlets that could attend were present. All the mainstream media outlets and television stations of China were gathered here. There were also quite a number of reporters from Japan and Korea, as well as a few Caucasian reporters from Europe and America.
Countless reporters sat in a dense mass, eagerly waiting to ask questions. Some reporters couldn't even wait any longer, and had already started asking questions with their cameras and cannons!
Dan Donghe gestured with his hand. "One by one, alright?"
An assistant staff member of the Qiyuan pointed at a reporter who had raised his hand.
That person stood up and asked the American representative, "Peter has lost. The AI that you claim to be able to surpass the intelligence of humans did not win in the end. So does that mean that you are now admitting that the intelligence of machines cannot compare to that of humans? Or do you still insist on this view? "
The American representative said, "I firmly believe that this will be the era of AI from now on. Today's loss is just a small setback in the long road ahead. It's nothing much. We are also very grateful to Professor Zhang for letting us know that human talent can still reach this level. This is something that we did not expect. In the future, we will continue to develop Peter's AI! Peter will only get stronger and stronger! "
Another reporter asked, "Will you all challenge Professor Zhang again?"
The American representative said with a gloomy expression, "We will, we definitely will. For example, we are currently developing Peter's China Chess function. I believe that it will be available to all of you very soon. Compared to Hudong, China Chess is also an extremely difficult puzzle game. If Peter can beat humans in this aspect, then …"
He no longer brought up the topic of Go!
The Americans shifted the topic back to Xiangqi!
The reporters were startled. Just as they were about to ask questions, Zhang Ye spoke up!
Zhang Ye was indeed worthy of his nickname of Face-smacking Zhang. He immediately rebutted with a single sentence. He chuckled and said, "Sure, I actually know how to play Xiangqi too."
The American representative was floored!
Several of the American staff members nearly vomited blood!
Fuck your second grandpa!
Why the fuck do you know everything!
Why don't you just go and die!
Why don't you just go and die!
In the end, the Americans were silenced. They did not even dare to bring up the topic of Xiangqi in their subsequent questions!
The reporters burst out laughing in their minds!
Yu Yingyi, who was sitting at the venue, was amused!
Li Qinqin and the others were also laughing uncontrollably. There was really no one else like this Professor Zhang! But what he said was indeed not wrong. Everyone had seen Zhang Ye's Xiangqi skills before, and they were all very good!
Just as the atmosphere was lighthearted and joyous.
A female reporter stood up. "Hello, I'm a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. Teacher Zhang, you've represented the Go world to defend your honor today. You tenaciously played an exciting game that turned defeat into victory. A lot of people broke out in a cold sweat watching this, but everyone is happy for you. You're truly the smartest person in the world today!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "Thank you, but I don't deserve it."
The female reporter asked, "Everyone is calling you a hero now. What do you think of that?"
Zhang Ye immediately waved it off and kept his smile. He said, "I'm not a hero, I'm really not. There are many heroes in the Go world, some of whom you can see, and some of whom you can't see. Everyone here has a dream and a sincere passion for Go. That kind of feeling might not be understood by many people, and I was the same in the past as well. But after interacting with the people at the Qiyuan these past few days, I've been particularly touched." He looked at the professional Go players at the Qiyuan and said, "Here, there are those who still care about the Go world even after many years of retirement. When the Go world was in trouble, there are those who still stand up for it. Here, there are young players who are still studying Go records at the Qiyuan at 1 AM. Some of them had a glorious past, while others have never been known to outsiders. But it was these people who supported the Go world to where it is today, step by step.
Many of the reporters were taken aback.
Zhang Ye pointed to one of them. "Dan Donghe, who debuted at the age of 16 and became the champion of the 1984 World Go Championship!"
Immediately, thunderous applause rang out!
Dan Donghe's eyes welled up. He stood up and bowed slightly.
Zhang Ye pointed to the second person. "Wu Changhe, who was once the number one player in the world of Go and led the national team to a historic three-peat in a row. He retired in 1995!"
Wu Changhe sighed as he stood up and bowed.
Applause rang out in the audience!
Zhang Ye said, "Zhao Hui, an 8-dan Go player. Back then, when his teammate was seriously ill and was absent from the World Go Championship, he single-handedly defeated the Japanese team and won the game. He retired in 1998!"
Zhao Hui's eyes were moist, but he held back his tears. He stood up and straightened his back!
Zhang Ye said, "Li Qi, a 7-dan Go player. He was once ranked in the top 20 in the world. He retired in 2005. After his divorce, he volunteered to be a training partner for the national team for more than a decade. In those ten years, he trained batch after batch of professional Go players behind the scenes to showcase their prowess on the international stage! He still hasn't gotten married yet! "
Li Qi stood up slowly with pride!
Applause rang out in the audience!
Watching TV, Li Qi's ex-wife was crying.
Li Qi's daughter was sobbing uncontrollably. "Dad!"
Li Yi.
Xiang Rong.
Chen Ying.
Zhang Ye introduced them one by one.
All of the reporters were moved. When each of them stood up, they were clapping with all their might! There were many names that they had never heard of before, and many of them were names that they didn't even know about in the past. But as they listened to Zhang Ye introduce each and every one of their achievements, none of the reporters interrupted him or showed any signs of impatience. They were all very touched. Some of the younger reporters even felt their blood boiling with excitement. Two of the female reporters couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes as their hearts were filled with emotion!
After he finished.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I've only joined the industry halfway through three games, so I'm really nothing. They are the true heroes of the Go world, so please give them a round of applause!"
The reporters all stood up and gave thunderous applause!
Seeing this scene, the countless viewers watching TV were also moved!
Well said, very well said!
They are the true heroes!
No, you are all heroes!
