Chapter 152 Another Genius
“Isn’t this Xu You?”
Soon, the students in the classroom also recognized Xu You's identity.
Nie Jie and Xu You are definitely influential figures in Jida, and many people know them.
However, compared to Nie Jie, who often appears on TV, few people ask Xu You for his autograph.
Xu You's arrival shifted the attention of many students from Nie Jie to Xu You.
Nie Jie also saw Xu You, so he stopped signing.
"Okay, class is about to start, so don't sign yet. Let's get ready for class."
At this moment, Nie Jie and Xu You looked at each other.
The two of them have a certain understanding of each other, but have never actually met.
At this moment, they were all thinking about something in their hearts.
Nie Jie: "Fortunately, Xu You didn't learn Go since he was a child, otherwise he would definitely be a strong opponent of mine now."
Xu You: "If Nie Jie were to engage in scientific research, I really don't know what kind of accomplishments he would achieve. Maybe he would not be inferior to me."
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Nie Jie walked towards Xu You.
"You also chose the Go class? Let's sit together."
"Okay, I have a lot of things I want to learn from you."
The two quickly reached a tacit understanding and found a seat to sit together.
They all knew that the other party was also an extremely smart guy.
When two smart people meet, they naturally have a lot of topics to talk about.
"So, Nie Jie, why did you choose the Go class? If the Go teacher at Ji University could teach you, you wouldn't have to stay here."
Nie Jie thought to himself that he certainly couldn't admit that he chose the Go class just to show off.
"I looked at those elective courses, but I still feel more interested in Go. Although the Go teacher may not be able to beat me, if I change the perspective of the class, I will still learn something."
Xu You didn't know Nie Jie's character very well, but he felt that what Nie Jie said made some sense.
"Xu You, are you also a Go master?"
Upon hearing this, Xu You quickly shook his head vigorously.
"I only know some rules. I learned a little from my father when I was young, but I haven't played Go since then. But I think Go is still very wonderful, and it seems to contain a lot of profound philosophy."
Although Go seems simple, it only has two kinds of pieces .
But the changes involved are endless.
The total number of variations in Go is even greater than the total number of observable atoms in the universe. It is also much more complicated than chess and has always been considered a game that cannot be conquered by software.
It was not until recent years that the rapid development of Go artificial intelligence broke the dominance of humans in Go.
"Yes, there are indeed many philosophical principles in Go. The Go board and pieces symbolize a black and white world. The board is square, and the pieces are round. There are black and white, visible and invisible things in the world, and they are all revealed in this world..."
Speaking of Go, Nie Jie suddenly became excited and couldn't help but talk to Xu You.
Xu You was also very interested in what Nie Jie said. He felt like he was listening to Lu Zhiyao explaining philosophy to him.
At this time, the Go teacher walked into the classroom.
For Go teachers, taking the elective course of Go at Ji University is a relatively easy and enjoyable thing.
The elective courses themselves do not require much from students, so students will not feel any pressure.
Most of the students who choose Go are quite interested in the game. It is not like some boring elective courses where everyone is doing their own things and the teacher is just lecturing.
But when the Go teacher saw Nie Jie.
His smile froze for a moment.
"Nie Jie...actually came to attend the Go class!"
Although Nie Jie, like everyone else, is a student of Ji University.
But Nie Jie is also ranked number one in the world Go rankings.
Talking about Go in front of Nie Jie is like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.
But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go to class.
"Oh, so boring."
Listening to what the Go teacher said, Nie Jie just felt it was too childish.
Because everyone's Go skills vary, the teacher can only talk about some basic content .
It was not until the second half of the class that the Go teacher finally took out a game record and started explaining it to everyone.
Only at this time did Nie Jie show some interest.
Although Xu You was not very professional, he could understand most of the content.
To put it simply, the game of Go is all about constant calculation to find the best place to place the pieces.
Strong chess players will be more familiar with various changes and have stronger calculation ability.
After class, the Go teacher walked over to Nie Jie.
"Nie Jie, is there something wrong with what I said? How about asking you to come up and talk about it in the next class?"
"Well, the 36th move was a bit soft. If the software evaluates it, the winning rate will drop by 10 points. The 48th move should have been sharper. Xiao Fei probably lost one and a half points..."
Nie Jie raised several issues that the Go teacher had explained in one breath, and the Go teacher nodded repeatedly after listening.
I have to admit that Nie Jie is really good at chess and his calculation ability has reached a very terrifying level.
"Of course, for non-top professional chess players, these are not problems. Teacher, just talk about your own things, don't pay too much attention to me, just pretend I don't exist."
The Go teacher also hopes that Nie Jie really does not exist in this class.
But thinking that there was a Go master who was much stronger than himself, the Go teacher always felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, from a certain perspective, emotions, like energy, are conserved.
The Go teacher's discomfort also made Nie Jie feel very comfortable.
After class, Nie Jie and Xu You walked out of the classroom side by side.
"Xu You, you are very busy with your research work, right? I heard that you have already gone to the laboratory. How do you still have time to come to the Go class?"
"You can't stay in the lab all the time, you still have to go out from time to time. You must be very busy with competitions and training, so how come you have time to come to the Go class?"
"Well, there happened to be no competitions during this period, so I came to school for a while."
While chatting with Xu You, Nie Jie suddenly became interested.
"Are you busy later? How about we play a game of sparring?"
Xu You thought about it and felt that this suggestion was indeed good.
It must be a great experience to play Go with the world champion.
However, Xu You was worried that he would be abused too badly by Nie Jie.
"I'm just a beginner. I can't beat you at all."
"It's okay. How about I play handicap chess with you and let you play nine pieces?"
Hearing that Nie Jie was willing to give him nine sons, Xu You felt that he still had a chance to fight.
