Chapter Twenty-Eight
Although the rescue center is simple, with the continuous addition of professional rescue teams from all over the world and the continuous increase in material supply, it has become a very important base for earthquake relief.
With the influx of all kinds of people, Ed became more and more familiar with the experts and staff of the base, and he could come and go freely around the rescue base.
There is a simple conference room in the base, and on an old coffee table in the conference room, there are two boxes of Go, the chess box and the chess pieces have obviously been carefully wiped down, clean as new, perhaps a rescuer who is a Go enthusiast found and brought back from the scene.
This little discovery made Ed a little inexplicably excited, although he couldn't remember when he learned to play chess, but it was really better to pass the time than any entertainment show.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with the rehabilitation training plan formulated by Xie Jun and Ah Rong, Ed used this Go training to train his brain's reaction and thinking ability.
When Ed was a child, because of the limited number of game tools, he liked games that he could play with local materials.
For example, backgammon, when herding cattle, you can draw a number of grids on the ground with branches, and the chess pieces of the game only need one side to take the leaves and the other side to take the stones, which is convenient and practical, anytime, anywhere, not limited by the venue, and play against children or.
Of course, this was not just because I liked it, but also because I didn't have that kind of conditions at the time. But it seems that his innate talent allowed him to easily defeat all the opponents around him as a child.
Not only does he have the foundation of backgammon, but Ed is actually familiar with the profound knowledge of 19-way Go and the famous genealogy of ancient and modern times. Then he found someone to play against him, and the result was out of control, and he never thought that several masters with outstanding chess skills in the base would be defeated by this new face one after another. In the base, Ed gradually gained a little fame.
Ed seems to remember that many years ago, he registered an account on the Go game website Yihai.com, but before he lost his memory, he hadn't logged in for two years, when he was already an amateur 5-dan player, from the lowest level 18 to the amateur 5-dan, which took three years on and off.
As if with some consideration, he decided to re-register a new account, nicknamed: Yu Bing. Starting from level 6, start from almost zero to start your own struggle and adventure. His real intentions were to test his speed!
According to the rules, the first stage, from level 6 to level 1, has a test of 6 steps. In the last 15 rounds of the game, you must achieve 14 wins and 1 defeat in 15 games, with a win rate of more than 90%, and you can be promoted to 2 levels in a row. 15 games, 10 wins, 5 defeats, a win rate of more than 65%, can be upgraded 1 level. Relegation with a win rate of less than 35%.
To win as fast as possible, Ed must maintain a 2-game promotion streak of 3 consecutive times to clear the level. That is, at least 45 wins and 42 wins.
A strong desire to win burned in Ed's chest, and he played more than a dozen games of chess with high intensity every day, but the result lived up to expectations, and four days later, he rose to the rank of the dan tournament with a brilliant record of 45 victories.
Ed's slaughter mode on the website, which does not care about the feelings of his opponents and uses sharp means to destroy and decay, has made a lot of netizens addicted! With the escalation of the war, the enthusiasm of the onlookers was quickly ignited, and the strong interest of all factions in the game of Go was aroused.
Then came the second stage, which went from 1st to 4th stage, and although there were only 4 steps, each step was far more difficult than the first stage combined. Within the last 20 games, you must win 18 and lose 2 of 20 games, with a win rate of 90% to move up 2 dleys. 14 wins and 6 defeats in 20 games, with a win rate of 70% to increase by 1 stage.
In the final third stage, the battle was upgraded from 5 dan to 9 dan battles, and in the last 20 rounds, 20 wins and 0 losses in 20 battles must be achieved, and the winning rate was 100% up to 2 dans. 15 wins and 5 losses in 20 games, with a win rate of 75% to rise by 1 stage.
What Ed didn't know was that after the recent year of rebirth, he was no longer the same as in the past. Traditionally, his accomplishments in the fields of piano (music), chess (various games of chess), calligraphy (language and writing, not calligraphy), and painting (oil painting, drawing, etc.) have reached an astonishing level, and his learning ability and learning speed are constantly improving rapidly. The amount of information stored in the brain is now far greater than that of the 20,000 British Museums.
Due to the shortage of hospital beds, in order to provide more people in need, Ed took the initiative to take the rescue tent and live in the nearby square, which was already densely packed with many tents. This has become a temporary settlement for human beings when they take refuge.
When Ed first saw this spectacular and shocking scene, like a movie clip being shown, a similar image suddenly came to his mind:
The vast and incomparably barren land was covered with craters, large and small, and the light was obviously very dim, as if it was a dark night. But the distant background seemed to stand out even more under the illumination of other light sources, which were huge and almost close to the two strange planets in front of them, one large and one small, one far and one near, one earthy yellow and the other blue. In the background of the bright and vast Milky Way, it is such a shocking beauty that no words can describe one or two of it, and it contains too much of a rich and heart-warming sense of unknown power.
And in this vast land in front of you, there are countless tents arranged neatly and orderly, no! It is a tent-like metal structure, and there are tens of millions of these structures, and each structure is lit by a light, which is a faint light that seeps through the silver-white structure. The huge group of lights on the ground and the starlight of the Milky Way in the sky reflect each other, which is incomparably beautiful and spectacular.
These structures stretch in all directions along the distant horizon until they disappear beneath the distant background of the massive planet...
When Ed came to his senses, he was already in tears, he didn't know what he was seeing, what information he wanted to tell himself, why he shed tears when faced with such a beautiful sci-fi and shocking scenery.
Who am I? Who am I! This question began to gnaw at Ed's heart. Compared with the calm countryside after the earthquake, Ed set off a huge earthquake in his heart, and the waves were magnificent.
On this day, Ed had just returned to his tent with Go to prepare for a review, only to find that there was an extra travel backpack, some canned food, and some food. Because Ah Rong often brings things back for herself, Ed is not surprised.
However, in the backpack, in addition to some outdoor items, there is also a lacquer box! Ed opened the lacquer box as if he had realized something, looked at it quietly, and thought about it, and stayed for a long, long time...
As night falls, the temperature drops in the mountains. Aron and Ed arrived in the square, and the two of them wrapped their coats tightly and sat down with each other around a campfire. Surrounded by mountains, there was silence, and the survivors gathered around a few bonfires, no one made any noise, many of them sat quietly, without talking, and occasionally there were intermittent weeping, and the survivors were still immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones.
"When I was counting the cargo of the plane, I found the backpack that I found next to you when I rescued you, I thought it must be yours, so I quickly brought it to you and put it in the tent. Brother Edg, did you find any valuable clues? ”
Ah Rong leaned on Ed's arms, the little bird felt extremely warm and happy, and asked in a gentle and weak voice.
Ed hesitated, shaking his head.
"Brother Ed, will you leave me?"
"Did you think we'd be together forever?"
The flickering firelight reflected the faces of the two of them, exuding an aura of youth and happiness, making Ed peaceful and intoxicated.
Ed didn't speak, but gently hugged Ah Rong with his arm, and then gently sent a sweet kiss on her forehead.
"Silly girl, I won't leave you, I like this kind of life"
A pair of cute little dimples appeared on Ah Rong's red face, which seemed to be filled with sweet wine, and Ed lowered his head and drank it all.
"I've lived with my grandmother since I was a child, and I've never seen my parents look like me, and my grandmother said that they were taken away by someone from the stars and went to another far, far away place."
"But I hate the people on these stars, after all, they took my parents"
"Brother Ed, why do you think they are doing this!"
The two looked up at the starry sky, and Ed didn't know how to answer Ah Rong's sad question, so he changed the topic and said:
"I'll teach you to recognize the stars in the sky, at least in the future you can know what they are called and where they are."
"Okay, then I know which star my parents are, so I'll go find them."
"That's Sirius! …… This is the Big Dipper,... This is Orion's belt..."Ed pointed to himself, wondering why he chose this blue planet as a start.
