At 2:10 in the morning, it took nearly four hours, sitting in Su Yuxiang's car, Zhou Ming finally arrived at Tianhe Gymnasium, the recording site of "The Strongest Brain". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Knowing that Zhou Ming was coming, the column team was all excited, including the chief director Wang Yunqing, dozens of staff stood at the door of the gymnasium to greet them.

The red Porsche stopped in front of everyone, and when Zhou Ming, who opened the door and got out of the car, appeared in front of them, everyone was taken aback.

"Mr. Zhou......"

Seeing his obviously slimmed down body, it took a while to confirm that he was Zhou Ming's Wang Yunqing, stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong with you recently, your body ......?"

"It's okay, let's go in quickly, and finish the program first. ”

Zhou Ming strode into the hall along the red carpet, followed by Su Yuxiang, who was wearing sunglasses and had a cold face, and Wang Yunqing and others behind him followed quickly.

"呲呲呲~"

Walking to the end of the passage, a light shone on, as soon as he approached the stage, high music sounded, two rows of smoke were sprayed from the dry ice machine on the edge of the stage, and the voice of the host welcoming the contestants to the stage sounded:

"Please invite our challenger, 'Rubik's Cube Emperor' Zhou Ming to appear!"

"Bell, bell......"

In the sound of music, the lights in the stadium were brightened together, and there was uneven applause from the audience, and some of the audience who fell asleep leaning on their chairs stood up reluctantly under the reminder of others, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

The celebrities on the scientific judges' seats and guest seats, and the nine Hall of Fame players in the Hall of Fame area, all sat back in their respective positions, cheered up, and looked at the belated "Rubik's Cube Emperor" on the stage with expressionless faces.

What a big shelf.

What a face-saving person!

A lot of mouths are scolding, and they are scolding in their hearts!

However, seeing this person's thin appearance at a glance, the anger in some people's hearts quickly extinguished a little, especially after hearing the host's help and explanation, everyone was even more surprised.

"Just now the column team learned from the player's friend: Mr. Zhou Ming, suffering from a special brain disease, some time ago, he was in a coma at home for six days, and he only successfully woke up a few hours ago...... Mr. Zhou's friend told us that with his physical condition, the most important thing he needed was to go to the hospital for a check-up, not to waste time here. ”

"Huh?!"

The audience exclaimed, and Xu Jialing in the guest seat said with concern: "Mr. Zhou, the show can be recorded tomorrow, your body is the most important, let's go to the hospital first." ”

Jiang Changjian patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and asked, "Mr. Zhou, for the sake of your body, this episode of the show can be postponed until tomorrow and recorded, ask you again, can you still persevere?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "You can hold on! Let everyone wait for a long time, I am very sorry here!"

After speaking, he bowed to the judges, guests and the audience.

The scene was silent for a while, and the peach on the guest seat wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue, clapped his hands and said, "Good job, we applaud him!"

The audience applauded and stood up, and many emotional female viewers covered their mouths and shed tears while applauding.

The scientific judge chattered and nodded in praise: "The character of this player is very admirable!"

In the Hall of Fame area, several Hall of Fame players who had just exchanged ears and taunted each other also remained silent and applauded silently.

In order not to delay time, the staff moved the ring round platform used for the competition on the stage in advance, and a total of ten Rubik's cubes were placed on the round platform, including six second-order and four third-order Rubik's cubes, which were placed in ten areas of the circular round platform at intervals.

The VCR played on the big screen introduces the rules of the "Magic Speed of Life and Death": two players stand at both ends of the round platform, chasing each other counterclockwise, restoring the disrupted Rubik's Cube and scrambling the restored Rubik's Cube after each restoration or disruption of a Rubik's Cube, press the red or blue light representing their own side, and advance one square until one side catches up with the other.

The challenge is limited to five minutes, and within five minutes, the winner who catches up with the other team first, and the one with the most lights wins if the chase is not completed within five minutes.

There are three rounds of challenges, and the first player to win two rounds will successfully advance to the international finals!

After understanding the rules of the competition, Zhou Ming made a request: because he had not touched the Rubik's Cube for many days and lacked practice, he hoped that the column team would give him fifteen minutes to familiarize him with the Rubik's Cube.

The host said yes, fifteen minutes later, Zhou Ming walked into one end of the circular platform, and like his opponent Wang Yinghao, he held a Rubik's Cube in his hand, and then the game began!

Click!

The sound of the Rubik's Cube being twisted at a rapid pace sounded.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense and intense, and the audience saw with a nervous face: the two people in the round platform were in hot pursuit, and the speed was almost comparable, but it may be due to physical reasons, the performance of Zhou Ming, the emperor of the Rubik's Cube, was not ideal, although the hand speed was still fast, but the error rate was very high, and he was slightly at a disadvantage.

Zhou Ming on the field also found that intellectual memory, if you don't often deepen the practice, even if you are the "strongest brain", you will forget after a period of time, because many memories in the brain cannot be kept permanently, but a bit like a "computer cache", the brain will clean up the previous memories from time to time, including those intellectual memories, which also conform to the law of the forgetting curve.

In addition, he has been practicing the Rubik's Cube for a short time, so the strength that Zhou Ming has shown now may be less than half of what he did two weeks ago.

In addition, the competition rules set by the "Strongest Brain" column group are also in favor of Wang Yinghao, because he is the holder of the record for the fastest recovery of the second-order Rubik's Cube in country Z, and there are a total of six second-order Rubik's cubes in the annular platform, which is conducive to his play in this advantageous project.

These factors may have little impact on the previous Zhou Ming, it doesn't matter how many orders the second and third orders are, he can win.

But today, in terms of second-order restoration, Zhou Ming's recovery speed is indeed a little slower than Wang Yinghao.

"Boom, it's time!"

Five minutes later, the first round was over, and neither of them could catch up with each other, but Wang Yinghao's red lights were seven on, and Zhou Ming's blue lights were only three on.

Wang Yinghao took the next game 1:0.

There was a round of applause from the audience, and both of them were praised by the scientific judges, especially Zhou Ming, who expressed his appreciation for his ability to show such a strong strength in a bad state.

Su Yuxiang in the audience at the near court, her eyebrows twisted up, she was very worried, with Zhou Ming's current state, it was difficult to defeat Wang Yinghao, and at the same time, she blamed her in her heart: "Can't you compete again tomorrow?

"Host, I beg to be given another fifteen minutes to familiarize me with the Rubik's Cube again!"

Before the start of the second round, Zhou Ming raised his hand and made a request.

"Yes. ”

After some discussion, the column team agreed to give him another fifteen minutes.

Saying thank you, Zhou Ming took a few second-order Rubik's cubes and practiced quickly in front of him.

Because in the competition rules of the "Life and Death Magic Speed" project, in addition to restoring the Rubik's Cube, players can also disrupt the Rubik's Cube to interfere with the opponent, and Wang Yinghao, as the record holder of the second-order Rubik's Cube in country Z, used some special scrambling techniques to make the second-order Rubik's Cube very difficult to solve, creating a lot of problems for Zhou Ming.

Therefore, Zhou Ming took several second-order Rubik's cubes to practice, all of which were difficult to crack after Wang Yinghao used special techniques to disrupt them, and he played back a variety of quickly restored solutions in his brain, and ran his brain with all his might, and it took about thirteen minutes to finally deduce a set of fast and good new solutions, and in the lens of the rocker camera, in a shorter and shorter time, the shuffled Rubik's Cube in his hand was restored.

Seeing this scene, the scientific judge Na Wei was surprised: "Zhou Ming's learning ability is amazing, he deduced a new set of solutions in a very short period of time, and cracked those second-order Rubik's cubes that are difficult to solve in a short time. ”

The audience applauded and cheered again, and Su Yuxiang, who was in the audience, also breathed a sigh of relief: "I shouldn't lose again now." ”

Only Wang Yinghao, who had been staring at the big screen next to him and watching Zhou Ming solve his own problem in a shorter and shorter time, felt a sigh in his heart, and a not very calm look began to appear on his face, and he was even a little shocked: "Within fifteen minutes, I solved the problem that I had to build for more than three years with the fastest solution?"

There wasn't much time for him to be frightened, and after walking into the circular platform, the second round of the competition was announced!

"Click!"

The sound of a high-speed gear-like Rubik's cube spinning sounded again.

In this game, Zhou Ming's speed has increased significantly, and his progress has been so fast that it has surprised everyone, and it only took him less than a minute and a half to catch up on the position of only two squares away from Wang Yinghao.

"Dudong~"

After Zhou Ming chased after Wang Yinghao and took pictures of the blue light, the host shouted "Ahhhhhhh

It only took more than two minutes for Zhou Ming to win the game and draw 1:1 with Wang Yinghao.

After the start of the third game, Zhou Ming did not give Wang Yinghao, who had obviously fallen into a panic, the slightest chance, and caught up with Wang Yinghao in one minute and eighteen seconds, and defeated Wang Yinghao with a score of 2:1 in a screaming applause and successfully advanced!

"2:1! Shocking reversal! Zhou Ming's strong strength is completely worthy of his title of 'Rubik's Cube Emperor!" host Jiang Changjian said excitedly.

The scientific judges chattered: "Zhou Ming's talent in the field of Rubik's Cube can be said to be shocking, he can overcome the situation of poor physical condition, and still win, it is enough to show that geniuses are geniuses, and those geniuses who can give full play to their talents in any unfavorable environment are real geniuses! Mr. Zhou is such a real genius!"

"Bang ~ "

The audience applauded again, and in the applause, the guest peach said in a snorting voice: "It's amazing, it's amazing~!"

Su Yuxiang also stood up and applauded, looking at the man with pride, seeing his smiling and confident face, and the angular face that seemed to be a little more handsome than before, somehow, his heart beat faster again......

"It's not fair! It's not fair! I don't accept the result of this game!!"

At the height of the cheers, an abrupt shout rang out on the stage, which stopped the applause and made everyone look sideways.

But it was Wang Yinghao, whose face was red, pointing at Zhou Ming, very excited, and the words he shouted surprised everyone!
