In the dark universe, starship carriers as huge as cities are sailing quietly.

The piles of rubble floating in the universe were ruthlessly crushed in front of these behemoths, and their path forward seemed unstoppable.

Spanning more than a billion light years, this fleet began their expedition.

In the starship carrier at the head, there is a creature less than 1.4 meters tall, with a big head and short limbs. He is wearing a special suit, which seems to have metallic liquid flowing on it.

Opposite him sat an oriental human man. As time passed, his hair grew longer and he blended into this era.

The man's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He was holding a spherical chess piece in his hand, which looked like a model of a certain planet, and it fell towards the chessboard.

"Mr. Chu, your chess skills are very superb. I have used calculation assistance. It's amazing that you can support yourself until now."

The short creature spoke, and through the translator at his throat, he could automatically translate his language into all the languages ​​they currently know in the universe.

At present, except for the ancient language and a very small number of languages, the translation mechanism of Tianzhou Ancient Star can be interpreted.

"Mr. Bublos, have you ever thought about the fun and meaning of playing chess?"

Chu Zihang's face was expressionless, as if he didn't think too much.

He was ordered by the Daxia royal family to represent Daxia and visited the ancient planet of Tianzhou as an envoy. During this time, he saw many new technologies.

The negotiations ultimately came to no result. Chu Zihang neither wanted the war to start quickly, nor did he want to accept bribes to lead the way.

As for whether there will be a fight in the end, this is obvious and is not something he can control at all.

Even if these dwarfs give him benefits, he can't help them move to the Burial Star.

All he could do was to stabilize the strange creatures of Tianzhou Ancient Star first, and during this period, he tried to steal their techniques.

"Mr. Chu, playing chess is the same as war. Isn't it about winning? The winner is the strong one, and the strong one is the truth. We are just constantly pursuing the truth..."

Bublos said casually, "As for fun? Victory always makes people feel happy."

Chu Zihang looked at the situation on the chessboard. This kind of chess is called cosmic hegemony in Tianzhou Ancient Star. This is the most similar meaning translated in the language of Tianzhou Ancient Star. It sounds a bit out of place, but this group of people

The dwarfs have many colonies in the universe, and their sphere of influence is much larger than the area covered by the Burial Star.

They are indeed a race that loves to conquer the universe. With their high-tech civilization, weapons produced in the assembly line, and starship carriers, they can make civilizations that have spent countless years cultivating and rising bow to their knees.

Just look at the blond girl lying next to Bublos and you will know that this race is not native to the ancient planet of Tianzhou, but the colonists of the ancient planet of Tianzhou discovered a special source of human life in the universe.

They were surprised to find that the human race there was different from the human race they had seen before. They were no longer yellow, but black and white. They believed that this was a rare species that needed to be "protected".

So they colonized the source of life, and now it has become a pet production base for Tianzhou Ancient Star.

Without him, the creatures of Tianzhou Ancient Star realize that they are advanced creatures in the universe. They are smarter than the human race, but they have been unable to do anything about the human race's God Burial Star. Controlling these special races, which are also human race, will make them feel sad.

Get a perverted pleasure.

At this time, the blonde girl was naked and lying obediently at the feet of Bublos, like an obedient pug. She had lost her humanity because she had never received a civilized education and had been trained as a pet since she was born.

"In the words of Mr. Bublos, your scientific and technological computing power has evolved into wisdom that transcends living things. It is an artificial intelligence that is independent and capable of self-growth. So, who is playing chess with me now, is it Mr. Bublos or that person?"

Where are the dead mechanical things?”

Chu Zihang asked rhetorically. The word he used was artificial intelligence, but to Bublos' ears, it would be translated into other meanings.

With a smile on his face, Bublos made another move. He was almost winning and was about to achieve three consecutive victories.

Previous diplomats said that this young city lord from the God Burial Planet was very smart, and he actually lost to Chu Zihang in a game where he only used moderate intelligence to check.

Bublos was very interested after hearing this, so he came to Chu Zihang and wanted to have a few words and see the calculation power of the so-called wise men of the Burial Star.

Playing chess is actually very simple for monks as long as they understand the rules.

Because the monk's brain, or soul, has extremely terrifying calculation capabilities, it is equivalent to a supercomputer, or even worse. Otherwise, there would not be some powerful monks who can even predict the future.

There is a hypothesis that if a person can master a larger part of the information and has strong reasoning and calculation ability, then he can predict the future.

For a monk at Chu Zihang's level, the traditional chess game of his hometown Earth has been completely cracked. Go has the possibility of changing 3 to the power of 361, which is almost unbreakable for people in the past world, but for Chu

For a person like Zihang, he has now understood everything.

Of course, Bublos and he were not playing Go. The rules of "Cosmic Hegemony" were more complicated, and the possibilities were almost infinite. Therefore, for people of this era, even the deduction ability of an immortal cannot be said to be possible.

Crack.

Then the outcome of the final chess game does not depend on a certain winning formula, but on countless choices in the ever-changing situation.

Bublos made his move lightly, and he didn't need to think too much at all, because it was assisted by artificial intelligence.

"Mr. Chu was joking..."

Bublos pointed to his head, which had a chip attached to it, "The programs of these things were written, cultivated, and made to learn and grow by me personally. I am its owner, and it is part of my consciousness and ability.

By extension, of course I am playing chess with you."

"But I see Mr. Bublos..."

Chu Zihang paused and looked into the other person's eyes, "I'm not thinking..."

As he spoke, he placed pieces on the vast chessboard, reversing the advantages and disadvantages of the chess game.

Bublos looked at it intently, a little surprised. He had not expected this situation at all, and the artificial intelligence he assisted did not calculate Chu Zihang's move.

He frowned, and the artificial intelligence began to deduce a new chess path. He was relieved when he found that he could reverse it again and regain the advantage.

He smiled easily, "It seems that it still needs to continue to grow and learn."

Artificial intelligence is not unsolvable, at least until it learns to see various situations, it still has some loopholes and flaws.

"There was a saying in my hometown that when the game itself loses the interest of change and the excitement of the game between itself and the opponent, then it loses its fun, and even if you win, it is meaningless."

Chu Zihang said calmly, not touched by the other party's step-by-step approach.

"I have heard about the artificial intelligence of Tianzhou Ancient Star. At that time, I was thinking, if one day, any game with such changes in chess is cracked by artificial intelligence, then will there be any meaning for chess players to exist?"

Chu Zihang asked rhetorically.

Bublos reached out and stroked the hair of the blond girl next to him, just like a master stroking the head of a golden retriever. "Mr. Chu is overthinking. The existence of chess players is meaningless. In a broad sense, any

Things are meaningless, we are just looking for meaningful things in the meaninglessness."

Bublos' words suddenly became philosophical. Chu Zihang did not discuss this aspect in depth. He just said: "When I played chess with the diplomat from Guixing, he once told me that in the chess table of Tianzhou Ancient Star, I would

There are many spectators going to watch, and the commentator will calculate to everyone the winning probability of both sides after each step, and there will be a curve chart.”

He continued: "The ancient star of Tianzhou has a supreme artificial intelligence named Karma. It is said that it is an invincible existence in the chess world. The curve chart published in the chess field is consistent with Karma's way of playing chess.

Whoever is closer will have a higher winning rate, right?"

Bublos stopped playing chess and looked at Chu Zihang, "Mr. Chu knows a lot. That's right. So what does Mr. Chu want to express?"

Chu Zihang shook his head, "I didn't want to express anything, I was just a little curious. Now that the chess players in Guixing have begun to learn Karma, are humans dominating technology, or is technology gradually dominating you?"

Bublos' eyes became dangerous, and he exerted force on his hands. The blonde let out a scream, and his hair and scalp were pulled off by Bublos, and blood spilled on the silver-gray floor.

The blonde cried out in pain, but just because Bublos glanced at her, she held back the pain and covered her mouth and trembled on the ground.

Chu Zihang watched this scene expressionlessly, ignoring Bublos' dangerous gaze, and continued to place stones on the chessboard.

After a long time, the dangerous aura on Bublos' body faded, and he patted the blonde's back again, like a good owner comforting the dog, "Get down."

While he was talking, a robot slid over and grabbed the blonde and took her away. Another cleaning robot came over and cleaned up the blood on the ground.

"Hahaha……"

Bublos laughed, "Mr. Chu really likes to joke. Technology dominates us? No, we are creators. In a sense, we are the creators. We have created new higher beings, and we who are above them are

Is the real…God.”

Chu Zihang didn't reply, and quietly placed pieces on the chessboard. The two sides attacked and defended each other, and a large number of stars on the chessboard were shattered.

Chu Zihang's cosmic power is constantly shrinking, and Bublos' cosmic power is constantly expanding. Every source of life is a pawn in their hands.

"Mr. Chu should be very good at this kind of game, but you still can't beat me. But you are indeed very strong, and your chess moves have changed a lot, which has benefited me a lot."

Bublos smiled and said, to be precise, it was the Karma linked to the chip he wore that benefited a lot.

Unseen chess moves and strange ways of coping are exactly what Karma, who has been unable to grow for a long time, needs.

"Using a duel with a dead thing is not fun after all. There is not much real sense of winning or losing."

Chu Zihang said calmly and continued to make moves.

Bublos looked at Chu Zihang with some disdain, and then quickly put his eyes away. In his opinion, this yellow-skinned monkey from the God Burial Planet was really average.

It is indeed remarkable to be able to win at medium-level artificial intelligence, but there are not a few researchers in Tianzhou Ancient Star, those with advanced minds, who can do this, and there are even some who can do it without any artificial intelligence assistance.

Defeat the existence of advanced artificial intelligence.

But after learning and growing up from Kama, there has never been anyone who can defeat Kama in the battle for cosmic hegemony.

Chu Zihang's words, in Bublos' opinion, were just empty talk by a man who was about to lose and was looking for a way out.

"Mr. Chu, you should be considered a very good at strategy and calculation in the God Burial Planet, right?"

Bublos had a smile on his face.

Chu Zihang said calmly: "I actually don't matter. As a negotiator, I just suffered from the shadow of my ancestors. I am a little clever. Those powerful monks may be better at calculations, but they only focus on how to calculate."

Getting stronger."
