At 9 o'clock in the morning, the convoy arrived at NJ, and soon a vehicle arranged by the column team pulled Zhou Ming to the indoor studio next to the Tianhe Gymnasium to shoot a VCR. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the process of taking the lines, Zhou Ming met his opponent - the mental arithmetic emperor Hiroaki Ishiya.
Zhou Ming's eyes communicated with him, and then he took the lines, added a little expression with aura in front of the camera lens, and read out the lines in his mind:
"After a month of exposure to mental arithmetic, I came to challenge the strongest, not because I was young and frivolous, ignorant and arrogant, but because I firmly believed in myself, my brain, omnipotent! Whether it was the Rubik's Cube or mental arithmetic, no one stopped me in any mental field! Defeating the Atomic Brothers was just an insignificant victory, a real strong opponent, waiting to be defeated by me! Hiroaki Ishiya, are you ready?"
Hiroaki Ishiya next to him, although he couldn't understand Chinese, but also felt a momentum from Zhou Ming, who was reading the lines, that made him palpitate, and suddenly not to be outdone, and when Zhou Ming finished recording, when it was his turn, not only the lines were read very imposingly, but his expression was also very exaggerated.
He said:
"I'm Hiroaki Ishiya, the first person to calculate the foot basin, I really didn't expect the Atomic Brothers to lose last time, could it be that I have other opponents besides Chen Lanlan? No! I can't let him go! Be fast, I want to be faster, and I must be faster than before! No matter who you are, let the horse come!"
In front of the camera, he raised his fists and erupted into a roar.
This momentum successfully overwhelmed his opponent Zhou Ming.
……
10:50 p.m.
In the ninth episode of the fourth season of "The Strongest Brain", after the recording of the first two challenge projects "Walnut Imprint" and "Elimination Sudoku", in a burst of passionate music, the last project tonight, which is also the mental arithmetic war between country Z and the foot basin country that the audience and guests are most looking forward to, officially kicked off.
"The upcoming contestant is the International Hall of Fame player led by Professor Robert Desmond, the 'Mental Arithmetic Emperor' from the foot basin - Hiroaki Ishiya! The player who is about to face him is the future 'Mental Arithmetic Demon King' of the Z Country Hall of Fame led by Na Nawei - Zhou Ming!"
With the introduction of the host, in the cheers of the audience, Zhou Ming, who got up from the throne of the Hall of Fame in Z and walked towards the center of the stage, and Hiroaki Ishiya, who started from the International Hall of Fame, walked opposite each other, and the two walked side by side to the middle of the stage in front of the Brain King trophy at the top of the staircase, standing on both sides of the host, facing all the audience.
……
In the near-field audience.
"Sister Xiangxiang, I didn't expect that after the makeup artist dressed him up, my brother-in-law still looked quite handsome. ”
Sitting on Su Yuxiang's right hand, after seeing Zhou Ming on the stage, Song Feifei's eyes lit up.
It turned out that before the start of the recording of the show, in the backfield dressing room, the makeup artist of the column group designed a look for Zhou Ming, carefully helped him put on makeup for more than two hours, put a layer of makeup oil on his face, and changed his clothes into a gray stand-up collar tunic, plus the flesh on his body in the last half a month has also made up for five or six catties, and now his figure has reached the golden ratio in all aspects.
It's that ordinary face, and after putting on makeup, it has become extremely durable at this time.
"Zhou Ming is very energetic today, more handsome than your father when he was young!"
Song Yaqin, the mother on the left, also gave a thumbs up.
Su Yuxiang pursed her lips and smiled, a man's appearance has never been important in her eyes, because a man's handsomeness never lies in his appearance, but in his pattern and aura, confident, mature, wise, powerful, and majestic...... These auras are all fatal handsomeness in the eyes of women, men.
At this moment, Zhou Ming on the stage has these handsome points that she admires and fascinates.
"Hmph~"
Su Qingrong snorted unconvinced, and said in his heart: This kid is as handsome as me? Not to mention that he is not compared with himself when he was young, he can't even compare with his current self......
……
After the warm-up words of the host on the stage and the declaration of the two contestants that they would defeat their opponents, the host introduced the rules of the project "Peak Mental Arithmetic":
A number of five-digit addition and subtraction combinations and multi-digit multiplication and division form a massive question bank, guests will choose nine questions from the question bank at will, one point for each question, two players hold a one-on-one answer one by one, grab a point for the correct answer, grab the wrong answer for the other party to get a point, the first to grab five points wins.
The rules of the game are simple and clear: it is nine questions, two people rush to answer, and whoever gets five points first wins.
"Is it the mountains and the tsunami, the mountains and the sea, or the thunder and the birth of the demon king?
Sitting on the seat of the general, the special guest Fu Yuanai began to write questions for the two, and after the questions were completed, Zhou Ming and his opponent Hiroaki Ishiya walked up to the challenge area together, stood on the challenge platform, and faced the question board.
Mental arithmetic PK, officially begins!
After repeating the rules of the competition again, the host began to ask: "The first question is a question of dividing 13 digits by 7 digits, two people, listen to my command, 3, 2, 1, go!"
The countdown number on the question board appears, 3, 2, 1, Ding Ding Ding, and the question shows:
5076396369264÷8934612
"呲呲呲~"
After the questions are displayed, through the recording device on the challenge platform, the sound of markers writing on the answer board can be heard in the stereo.
Just five seconds later, a beep of "beep~" sounded, and an exclamation came from the audience.
Fu Yuanai opened his mouth wide and said to Jiang Zhenyu next to him: "I haven't finished reading the question yet!"
Jiang Zhenyu clasped his hands and said helplessly: "Me too!"
Who pressed the answering machine first?
Shiya Hongming looked at Zhou Ming opposite, and was very annoyed, just 0.1 seconds away, the answering device was pressed in advance by this kid.
Of course, time is important, accuracy is even more important, is the answer correct? Let's take a look at the correct answer first......
After the host finished speaking, facing the question board on the big screen, he pointed over, and a line of yellow numbers was displayed below the question: 568172
"Okay, let's take a look at Zhou Ming's answer again. ”
The host bent down, and as Kosuke slowly twitched the paper envelope that blocked the answer, as one number after another appeared, his mouth began to read, "5...... Come on, 6, correct, come again, 8...... And there's, 1, come again...... 7! There is one more, come on, come on, 2! Correct, exactly!"
A burst of "dong dong dong" music sounded, and there was a round of applause from the audience, and the scientific judge Jiang Zhenyu "roared!" and shouted.
Song Feifei slapped her palm vigorously and said, "I won the first game, my brother-in-law won the next game!"
Su Yuxiang smiled: "This is only the first game, and there are still several rounds." ”
The host, guests, and contestants on the stage each said a few words, and in the second game, a seven-digit multiplied by seven-digit question, again with the host's command and gestures, 3, 2, 1, on the question board, the question shows:
4985136×8241679
"呲呲呲~"
There was another sound of markers rubbing against the answer board.
"Beep~" was less than five seconds later, and the buzzing sound of the answering machine sounded.
Zhou Ming!
He pressed the answering machine at a speed of a few tenths of a second faster than Hiroaki Ishiya.
The answer is a 14-digit number, right?410... 858…… 906…… 83344!Exactly, congratulations to Zhou Ming for going to the next city!"
"Bang Bang Bang Bang ~"
The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic, and many audience members had already stood up and shouted the slogan "Come on Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming will win!".
Losing two games in a row, Hiroaki Ishiya began to be a little unsettled, in order to regain the disadvantage, after the third question was displayed with 10 five-digit addition and subtraction questions, after writing the answer, he didn't check for half a second, so he immediately took a picture of the answering device, and finally 0.1 seconds faster than the opponent.
Comparing the answers, after the host of this question announced that the answer was correct, Zhou Ming and Hiroaki Ishiya fought 2:1.
Seeing Hiroaki Ishiya pull back a point, Zhou Ming, who originally planned to kill the "Emperor of Mental Arithmetic" in a 5:0 second, began to deal with it more seriously, and in the next two games, he didn't give the opponent a chance, and easily took it, with a score of 4:1.
At this time, Hiroaki Ishiya, who was completely confused, hurriedly pressed the answering device when he had not finished writing the answer in the sixth game, and gave Zhou Ming one point for nothing, with a score of 5:1.
Zhou Ming wins!
The scene was suddenly boiling!
The host Jiang Changjian shouted: "Zhou Ming won, Zhou Ming defeated the invincible opponent, and defeated the 'Mental Arithmetic Emperor' with an absolute score advantage, from now on, the 'Mental Arithmetic Emperor' has been defeated, and the 'Mental Arithmetic Demon King' has risen!"
"Mental Arithmetic Demon King! Mental Arithmetic Demon King!"
The audience stood up collectively, clapped and shouted vigorously, and the peaches in the guest seat also said: "On the stage of the strongest brain, country Z has finally won back the first place in the world, Zhou Ming, you are the pride of all country Z people!"
The players in the Hall of Fame of Country Z also applauded, and the 'Master of Memory' Li Wei said: "This buddy is really good, if only he came to "The Strongest Brain" earlier, the Z country team has him, plus the water brother who has not left, no international team is the opponent of our Z country team." ”
Zheng Caiqian on the side suddenly said: "Why don't you ask the program team to invite Brother Shui back again, and let this kid PK with Brother Shui, and see who is more powerful?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and "Labyrinth Walker" Bao Yun said: "This is a good idea. ”
……
Returning to Hiroaki Ishiya in the center of the stage, he looked depressed at the moment, for the first time, he tasted a fiasco, but he was very unwilling, he was fighting away, and the rules of the game were also formulated by the organizers, which was not conducive to his play, and there were many problems with the question bank used in the game!
So he applied to the host: he wanted to compete with Zhou Ming again, and the questions should be made by the players of the international team, and he felt that there was a big problem with the question bank provided by the column group, and he was suspected of cheating.
His speculation caused an uproar, and the special guest Liu Guoliang said that he had a problem with his mentality, and he couldn't afford to lose when he won it, and he didn't have the temperament that an emperor should have.
The scientific reviewer said: "Our question bank is randomly generated by the computer, there are tens of millions of questions, and the probability of human manipulation is 0. ”
A special guest from the foot basin, Ai Fukuen, said to him: "Mr. Ishiya, you are my idol, and winning or losing does not affect your status in my heart." ”
In the midst of the discussions, Zhou Ming spoke up:
"I agree to compete in another game, and the problem will be Mr. Ishiya's best large-digit division problem, and the other questions don't need to be played, just the division! If you want to win, you have to win in the opponent's best project, so easily beat Mr. Ishiya, it's too boring, Mr. Ishiya also came to country Z for nothing. ”
Zhou Ming's statement caused a shock to the audience, director Wang Yunqing and the column team, after urgent discussion, felt that this was a good breaking point, even more interesting than the previous issue of "The Emperor of the Rubik's Cube Turns to Mental Arithmetic, Breaking the Atomic Brothers", as long as Zhou Ming can win, this episode of the program can at least increase the number of hits by more than 5 million compared with the previous issue! Ask Zhou Ming again, after gaining 100% confidence from him, the column team adjusted the rules of the game according to his suggestion, and the two sides fought again!
Sure enough, the play-off is more interesting, 9 are sixteen or seventeen divided by eleven or twelve large digit division problems, the two sides once fought to a 2:2 draw, but in the later stage because of the transition of mental overdraft, Hiroaki Ishiya gradually lost support, lost three games in a row, and could only lose his soul, looking at the crown of his "mental arithmetic emperor", and was hit to the ground by the "mental arithmetic demon king" in front of him, with a score of 5:2.
"Zhou Jun, I will come to country Z again, and I will come again to challenge you next year!"
Hiroaki Ishiya, who bowed deeply to Zhou Ming and finally admitted defeat, left the stage extremely lonely.
……
At the end of the recording of the program, Zhou Ming, who successfully cut down Hiroaki Ishiya, was asked for autographs by celebrities including scientific judges Nawei , Jiang Zhenyu , special guests Peaches , Fu Yuanai , Liu Guoliang and other celebrities.
After signing his name for more than an hour, Zhou Ming, who had a sore hand, still relied on his flexible skills to get out of the crowd, and finally in the chase of a group of people, he escaped for his life and got into the car driven by Su Yuxiang parked outside the gymnasium, accelerated with one foot on the accelerator, and finally stayed away from this dangerous area.
