Chapter 726: Is There a Second Here? (2/3)
This topic?
Xu Mang took the question and fell into confusion for a while, and returned to his venue in a daze, and after a short period of time, Xu Mang found that many people looked at him with a strange look, seeming... It's a kind of pity, it seems that everyone knows it.
"How?"
"Is the difficulty okay?" Brother Chuan Xiao asked nervously, "I found that many people have happy expressions on their faces after drawing questions, as if... It's as if the champion is him, isn't it very difficult?"
Xu Mang smiled bitterly and said indifferently: "See for yourself." ”
Words fall,
Xu Mang handed the question in his hand to Brother Chuan Xiao, and then sat aside in a daze, as if nothing happened, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and Brother Chuan Xiao took this topic, just looked at it for a few seconds, and the whole person fell into despair.
This...
Is this compliant?
Although Brother Chuan Xiao is engaged in astronomy, his science level is okay, and he understands basic biology, but when he saw this topic, he instantly entered autism mode, and he couldn't understand what was written on it at all.
"Xu Mang?"
"You... Can you read it?" asked Brother Chuan Xiao.
"It's okay. Xu Mang nodded and said solemnly: "The difficulty is indeed a little higher... But it's not a problem, it can be solved in a second, but I'm thinking about one thing, are they controlled by a program?
“...”
"You said it was shady, just to prevent you from winning the championship. Brother Chuan Xiao said helplessly: "That's right... This year's process seems to be different from previous years, in previous years, I stayed for 10 minutes after getting the question and started to analyze the protein structure, but today it was half an hour more. ”
"yes!"
"I've also looked at the process in previous years, and there are some problems. Xu Mang frowned and asked curiously, "Is it just to see our jokes?"
Faced with this problem,
In fact, it was completely Xu Mang and Sun Chuanxiao who were too worried, and the reason was very simple... With the qualitative change and popularization of artificial intelligence, the number of participants has gradually increased, and the corresponding processes have become more complex.
meanwhile
Damis Hassabi secretly observed Xu Mang, and found that Xu Mang and his assistant, the expressions of the two were a little stiff, and they seemed to have fallen into the point of doubting life, and they couldn't help but show a smile, it seemed that the two of them had correctly recognized the difficulties in front of them.
"Professor?"
"Are they desperate?" asked a young man from the DeepMind team curiously, "And Xu Mang is also different, everyone has a team of seven or eight people, but there are only two of them." ”
"I don't know. Damis Hassabi shook his head and said seriously: "Maybe Xu Mang didn't take us seriously at all, didn't he claim to have completed the three-dimensional structural analysis of the protein in one second?"
"I'd like to see if a second is a second. Damis Hassabi said.
however
The young man next to him said, "Professor... Do you believe this kind of thing? It's obviously a joke, how can it be done in one second? The fastest record at the moment is the speed we maintained last year, one hour and eight minutes to complete the analysis of protein structure, one second... I don't believe it either. ”
Damis Hassabi said solemnly: "Don't have this kind of thinking, think about how embarrassed we were when we were defeated by Xu Mang in the field of quantum computers, even if we cooperated with IBM, we couldn't stop him." ”
“...”
moment
The young man kept his mouth shut, it is true that Xu Mang can't observe from the perspective of ordinary people, this guy... It is always possible to create an earth-shattering miracle when everyone thinks it is impossible.
But this time too?
Artificial intelligence provides protein structure analysis in the field of biology, which is completely incompatible with Xu Mang's own job, how can he learn so many things as a person engaged in theoretical physics, philosophy, mathematics, neurophysiology, psychology, computer science, information theory, etc.
Go out to math and computer science, and the rest can be understood?
In this regard,
The young man put a big question mark in his heart.
On the grounds of Princeton University,
After a few people saw Xu Mang, they actually had a little complicated heart, he was an honorary professor of the school, and it stands to reason that he was his own person, but... He is also recognized as one of the most hated people in the American academic community, how should he stand in line now? Do you want to go up and say hello?
"Huh?"
"I found that Professor Xu Mang is very similar to a liar I met!" A certain girl from the Princeton University team, frowning, looked at Xu Mang carefully, and said in horror after a moment: "Just... That liar is Professor Xu Mang!"
“???”
“???”
“???”
What is he?
Then
The professor at Princeton University said in surprise: "You say... The young man before turned out to be Professor Xu?"
"Hmm!"
"Just rush to that cheap spirit. The young girl said firmly, "I swear... It must be Professor Xu Mang!"
“...”
"Forget it. ”
"Check the questions we've drawn. The professor said helplessly: "Don't worry about other things for the time being, and then meet Professor Xu after the competition and say hello to him, after all, he is an honorary professor of our school." ”
"Professor?"
"What kind of topic did you say Professor Xu Mang drew from?" the young girl asked curiously, "I heard others talk about... This time, it was specifically targeted at Professor Xu Mang, and special treatment was carried out, which was a public shady scene, in order to prevent Professor Xu Mang from getting 1.5 billion US dollars... He... He should be desperate now, right?"
Despair?
I'm afraid I'm already desperate.
According to Professor Smith's analysis, those are non-human content, which cannot be solved at all with current technology.
"Ugh..."
"Pretty much. The professor smiled wryly, "Okay... Don't study Professor Xu's question for the time being, take a look at the content, and enter the relevant parameters later, don't get the data wrong, otherwise it will be embarrassing. ”
soon
At the end of the 30-minute break, the next step is the time to enter the parameters, each team has 10 minutes, in which they need to enter the parameters to fight, and finally analyze at the same time, the best 15 teams win and enter the finals on the second day.
"Xu Mang?"
"Everyone else is doing it, you... Why don't you move it too? As an escort, Brother Chuan Xiao didn't know how to input parameters at all, so he could only sit beside Xu Mang stupidly, accompany him in a daze, and then talk about family things.
But when all the teams were struggling, the No. 8 venue was in a leisurely mode, and it was just a cup of tea and a bag of melon seeds on the side.
"Don't panic!"
"Panic yarn. Xu Mang hit a hatcher and said indifferently: "It's too late at the last minute." ”
“...”
"You've always been so extreme. Brother Chuan Xiao sighed and said silently: "Aren't you afraid of missing a hand? Old horses can stumble, you can take a look at the amino acid order, otherwise how to analyze the three-dimensional structure of proteins?"
Xu Mang stretched his waist, picked up the information on the table casually, flipped it a few times absentmindedly, and then threw it on the table, and said lazily: "Look at it." ”
Brother Chuan Xiao: ???
This...
This is simply lazy to come out of a new height!
"Brother Chuanxiao. ”
"I'll squint for five minutes, and remember to call me after five minutes. ”
Words fall,
Xu Mang lay down on the chair and began to sleep.
Within a few minutes,
Many people present noticed the strangeness of the No. 8 venue, as the core figure, Xu Mang, unexpectedly... I fell asleep.
Is this an early abandonment?
"Gave up?"
"Wise choice!" Damis Hassabi glanced at Xu Mang, who was asleep, and smiled indifferently: "It seems that I was too worried before, and I don't need to worry about the difficulty of the topic at all, think about it... has risen to this point, how can it be easy for him. ”
"Professor?"
"He... He must have known that he had no hope of winning, so he just went to sleep, right?" said the young man next to Damith Hassabi: "We won another championship... But even if it's a really fair matchup, I don't think we should lose. ”
"Our latest AlphaFold has undergone a technical upgrade, and I feel that it is completely capable of fighting Xu Mang. "The young man's face was full of the word 'confidence'.
But
Demis Hassabi chose to agree with him, and he didn't believe Xu Mang could take the title with a small broken box.
moment
Xu Mang was woken up by Brother Chuan Xiao, glanced at the time and there were less than two minutes, and then began to enter the parameters in a daze, and his state made Brother Chuan Xiao worried, just like this, it seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, the problem is very big!
"Xu Mang!"
"Wake up... You are now participating in CASP!" Brother Chuan Xiao said solemnly: "This is not an ordinary competition, this... It's a $1.5 billion race, how do you get paid for it like this? The game is about to start... Really sober up!"
"Oh!"
Xu Mang hit a Hache and said helplessly: "This doesn't need us to do it at all, just rely on the 'Xu Man system', and we will be responsible... Withdraw money. ”
Finished!
It's all over!
Seeing that Xu Mang was still drowsy, the whole world collapsed for a while, and he hated that he didn't understand artificial intelligence, otherwise he would have played in person.
As the countdown to the referee team begins,
All the participating teams on the field entered a nervous mood, coincidentally... The team in the No. 8 field was particularly strange, Xu Mang held his head and thought about his thoughts, and Brother Chuan Xiao was in a daze.
With an order,
The first day of the CASP competition officially began.
however
At this very moment,
Suddenly, a sign hung at the top of Field 8 showed that it had been completed, and then someone was heard shouting:
"Done!"
Time
The entire venue was boiling, and everyone looked at Xu Mang in horror.
This...
Is this a second?
......
