Regardless of which company produced this robot, Ling Zhi admires the inventor of this technology. He also believes that one day in the future, billiard robots are likely to be popularized in major billiard rooms.
From the beginning of this game test to now, Lexus can feel that this technology is not yet mature.
The robot can only try its best to hit familiar ball games and familiar angles. If the changes are large, it seems that it will not be able to hit the ball anymore.
The thin ball that didn't seem to be very difficult just now was hit very thickly, which probably means that he hit it directly towards the collision point of the white ball and the full-color ball without giving up the point.
When the white ball hits the target ball, there will be an impact point. If you can only score a goal by hitting this impact point, then before the white ball is hit, if you hit it directly in the direction of the impact point, there will be no chance of success.
There is no doubt that it will be thicker.
Because in this case, the white ball will hit the target ball in advance and will not hit the goal impact point.
Therefore, when hitting each angle ball, while aiming at the target impact point, you must deflect it slightly in the direction of thinning. This is the concession point.
According to this reasoning, only straight balls do not require concessions, and any other angle balls theoretically require concessions.
But this is only in theory. In fact, within the 15-degree angle of half a billiard ball, even if you don't give up the point, it actually has little effect on the accuracy. But if you want to score hollowly instead of hanging the bag into the corner, you still have to give up the point.
.
As for how much each ball should be conceded, it depends on the experience of the players. But generally speaking, the larger the goal angle, the more points need to be conceded.
The expert who developed this robot may know a lot about football, but he can't turn the players' experience into data, so the robot won't give in, which Ling Zhi thinks is understandable.
As for the fact that he just chose Yikku to pocket the ball, Lingzhi was indeed surprised.
Under normal circumstances, players will not choose this way, because after the ball is released into the pocket, the white ball will usually stop at the pocket, making it difficult to connect to the next ball.
So it is better to try to hit a dozen difficult balls and leave the pocket ball behind for easy movement.
However, the robot did not take the usual path, which put Lexus under a lot of pressure. He was afraid that his inference was wrong.
Since he dared to make such a choice, he might have a backup plan. But at this time, the white ball did stop at the top pocket. Although the other two full-color balls were both in the upper half of the table, their goal angles exceeded 30 degrees. He
What's the backup plan?
I saw the robot aiming at a full-color ball close to the middle pocket. After the shot, the white ball still hit the thick part of the full-color ball, and the full-color ball didn't even touch the mouth of the middle pocket.
Seeing this, Lexus was completely relieved. It seemed that his judgment was not wrong, but maybe due to the program setting, the robot had to find a way to score the top pocket in order.
But what to do after you log in? The program doesn't seem to be able to give a standard answer.
In the first game, since the robot could directly see the ball in the top pocket, after scoring it, it could move to a comfortable position with the other two full-color balls.
In this round, the robot gradually fell into a trap under Lexus's layout.
If you think carefully about the few games played by the robot, he has indeed reached a position where there is almost no need to give up points to hit the target ball.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi became more and more certain that his idea was correct.
Very good, since he won't give up points, it means he won't hit the ball thinly. In this case, maybe he can set up the game.
"Oh? Lingzhi, this guy seems to have lost his accuracy."
Ling Zhi nodded and said:
"Indeed. I have probably figured out his pattern. Sure enough, there are still big bugs in the program."
Ling Zhi looked at the robot with interest, wondering how he could judge how much to give if he was the designer.
But he soon came to his senses, thinking that now was not the time to think wildly.
In the next few shots, Lexus consciously knocked away the colored balls one by one, and at the same time controlled the white ball to the appropriate position, so that the white ball had to hit the thin spot of the full-color ball to score a goal.
The robot lived up to expectations and did not score any full-color goals.
Soon, Lingzhi successfully hit all the balls of different colors. After that, he did not use the "strong man's mentality" to force himself to close in one stroke, but adopted his accustomed tactic of pushing the pocket.
So, with Lexus's steady tactics, the robot successfully lost the game!
The moment Lexus scored a black eight, the closed door clicked, and something seemed to have changed.
"Yeah! Lingzhi, you are great!"
Zhao Shiyan was overjoyed and hurried over to try to open the door, but strangely, the door failed to open.
"What's going on, Lexus, there should be changes."
Ling Zhi frowned, went over to take a look, pushed and pulled the door, and responded:
"I don't really know either."
Ling Zhi turned around to see what the robot was going to do. He saw the robot silently walked to the sofa seat, sat down, closed its eyes, and remained motionless.
"Hey, Ling Zhi, look quickly, look quickly."
"What's wrong?"
I saw Zhao Shiyan pointing at the crack in the door and saying to Ling Zhi.
Ling Zhi looked at the crack in the door and could vaguely see two locks lying across it.
What does this mean? If you beat him once, you will unlock a lock? Does that mean you have to beat him twice?
It's not difficult to beat him twice. The key is that the guy is now giving up his picks and not throwing the ball!
Ling Zhi instantly had a bunch of black threads wrapped around his head.
Could it be that the key to breaking the situation is not the robot, but...
Ling Zhi looked at the confinement device on the wall and immediately shook his head. Rather than saying that it was a clue to breaking the situation, it was more like a soul hook from hell. No matter how you looked at it, it was not the key.
"Hey, Ling Zhi, do you think this room has gotten a little dark?"
"Um?"
I have to say that if Zhao Shiyan hadn't reminded him, Ling Zhi wouldn't have noticed.
At this time, the incandescent light from the other side of the hall has shone through the crack of the hall door into this room, which shows that the light has indeed dimmed.
The two stood by the window and looked out. They could feel that the effect of the snow blindness caused by this "white fog" was getting worse. It seemed that the sunlight was indeed gradually disappearing.
There are no incandescent lights in this room. Could it be said that at night, the robot automatically enters a dormant state?
Ling Zhi told Zhao Shiyan his guess, and Zhao Shiyan continued to guess excitedly:
"Hey, tell me, can we take the opportunity to see what's on him?"
"It's true as they say, don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back."
The two slowly approached the robot, but when they were almost there, he seemed to notice something and instantly activated the warning mode, holding the club in front of him to prevent the two from moving forward.
The two of them could only give up temporarily.
Now that the robot had rested, the two of them felt that there was nothing to do at the moment, and they had no intention of practicing under the predicament, so they relaxed temporarily.
Zhao Shiyan yawned widely and seemed a little tired. Ling Zhi looked at her and found her a little cute.
Ling Zhi thought about it carefully. From walking out of the computer room, to walking out of the lobby, to various teasing robots in the billiards room, and finally defeating the robot, a long time had passed without realizing it.
Although he didn't have a watch at hand, judging from the sense of time, Ling Zhi felt that almost two hours had passed. So it was reasonable that it was getting late at the moment.
"Hey, Ling Zhi, since he won't play anymore, let's take a rest for the night? Let's fight again tomorrow?"
Ling Zhi actually felt a little tired, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's do this. Let's see if there are any changes in this guy when the sun shines in tomorrow."
"Um."
So the two of them returned to the hall, ate something briefly, drank some water, and planned to go back to the room to lie down and rest for the time being.
Ling Zhi hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Shiyan:
"Um, Shi Yan, you have a good rest and we'll see you tomorrow?"
Well, it feels weird to say it, as if two lovers living together said good night to each other.
However, Ling Zhi immediately shook off these thoughts and was about to go back to his room when he saw Zhao Shiyan silently holding him back.
"Um, Shi Yan, is there anything else you can do?"
Zhao Shiyan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said softly:
"I don't want to be separated from you."
Ling Zhi didn't hear clearly, so he came closer and asked:
"Ah? Shi Yan, what did you just say?"
Zhao Shiyan raised his head, seemed to have made up his mind, and said:
"I want to be in the same room with you. I want to see you when I wake up tomorrow!"
Ling Zhi was a little stunned.
Although the relationship between the two has become very close over the past month, Ling Zhi never wanted to take advantage of the girl and always subconsciously kept an appropriate distance from her.
But, how about resting in a room? Yes, although the girl's suggestion was a bit sudden, after all, it is a special situation now. So Ling Zhi responded with a smile:
"That's true. Speaking of which, it's the same for me. If I wake up the next day and suddenly can't find you, I feel shuddering just thinking about it."
Zhao Shiyan curled up the corners of his mouth, changed his previous solemn expression, shook Ling Zhi's hand with a smile, and said:
"Yeah, right! I think so too."
Ling Zhi felt relieved.
Thinking about it carefully, from waking up to now, if she hadn't been by my side, I might not even be able to go out of this hall.
As for resting in a room, it is enough to give the girl the bed and lie down on the back of the chair. In special times, you can't ask for too much.
Ling Zhi held the girl's hand with his arm and entered his room.
…
Zhao Shiyan was lying on her side with her face facing the wall. Perhaps the light from the ceiling was too dazzling, making it uncomfortable for her to lie with her head up.
Ling Zhi leaned back in his chair, staring at the computer screen, in a daze.
There is no new information displayed on the screen, and there are no signs of battery exhaustion.
The two stood back to back in the air, silent for a long time.
After a while, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too heavy, Zhao Shiyan spoke:
"Lingzhi, tell me, can we get out?"
Ling Zhi looked back at her and said:
"No problem. Although judging from the current situation, the person who designed this secret room may be a computer expert, but he doesn't know much about football."
"We'll see what happens tomorrow. If we can successfully exploit the robot's vulnerabilities, it shouldn't be a big problem to win two games against him."
Ling Zhi told Zhao Shiyan some of his speculations. After speaking, Zhao Shiyan responded:
"Oh, but speaking of which company is capable of producing such a robot?"
"I can't think of it either. But seeing that the robot's outer skin imitates O'Sullivan very much, I guess it might not be a Chinese company, it might be an international company, or it might even be developed by wst (Note 1) itself.
.But...but..."
"But why, right."
"That's right. Why are we being used for experiments? What is the relationship between this company and Bai Ming's group? There are too many things that don't make sense."
Zhao Shiyan couldn't figure it out either, so he didn't reply.
The two were silent for a while again, then Zhao Shiyan turned over and said:
"It's bad. If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. When you go out later, you will naturally have the answer."
"Um."
In fact, to be honest, Ling Zhi was not sure whether he could go out in a short time. Although he comforted Zhao Shiyan with words, saying that he would definitely be able to go out, looking at the amount of compressed biscuits and barreled water in the hall, they could maintain a good life for them.
a period of time.
After opening the closed door of the Zhongba Billiards Room, is there a way out? Ling Zhi is actually not very optimistic.
However, Ling Zhi did not feel any pessimism from Zhao Shiyan. And from her words, he did not feel that she thought the two would not be able to get out in the future.
Ling Zhi knew that this was the sunny side of the short-haired girl.
At the same time, it is also a matter of trust in yourself.
He couldn't help clenching his fists and determined to take her out safely.
"Hey, Lexus, by the way, how did you find the loophole in that robot just now?"
Ling Zhi came back to his senses, unclenched his fists, and said to her:
"Actually, it's nothing. I just feel like he won't give in..."
Ling Zhi told Zhao Shiyan what he was thinking at the time, and Zhao Shiyan listened quietly without interrupting.
Although the two of them are together all the time, they don't discuss it all the time. At this moment, my heart is relaxed and I have time to review it.
"Anyway, if he uses the same routine tomorrow, it shouldn't be that difficult to beat him."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shiyan said "hmm" and did not reply.
Ling Zhi looked back at her, thinking that she was sleepy and didn't want to talk much, so he didn't care. Just when he was about to lean on the back of the chair and squint to rest, Zhao Shiyan said:
"Um, Ling Zhi, why don't you lie down too."
Ling Zhi paused for a while and said tentatively:
"Um... I'm afraid this is not suitable. Besides, the bed is too small and can't accommodate the two of us. I can just sit back on the chair for a while."
Ling Zhi looked back at her and said.
The short-haired girl turned sideways towards him, pouted and said:
"Huh? Can't accommodate us? What do you mean? Lingzhi, you think I'm too fat."
"How is this possible! How could I dislike you? I...I'm afraid that you will dislike me..."
Ling Zhi turned his head over and said in a mosquito-like tone.
"hey-hey!"
Zhao Shiyan moved slightly toward the wall, his face pressed against the wall, and he said:
"Since you don't dislike me, then come up! I've made room for you, hurry up!"
Ling Zhi heard her muffled voice, turned around, and saw that she was already pressing her face against the wall. He sighed, thought for a while, put a chair against the door, then leaned on Zhao Shiyan with his back, and lay down on it.
The bed is indeed very narrow, but it can still accommodate both of them lying sideways, and there is even some space between them, but this is also the result of Ling Zhi desperately pressing his body against the edge of the bed.
Ling Zhi closed his eyes and began to feel sleepy.
After about half an hour, he felt vaguely getting colder again. He couldn't help but hugged his body with his arms and rubbed them to keep himself warm.
Damn it, those people didn’t even give us a quilt. If we froze to death, wouldn’t it be pointless if they worked so hard to transport us here?
Ling Zhi complained in his heart.
After a while, he heard a turning sound behind him.
"Well, Lingzhi, I...can I hold you for a while? I feel...I feel a little cold..."
Ling Zhi opened his eyes, thinking deeply.
"Um, Lexus, are you asleep?"
Ling Zhi turned over silently and looked into her eyes. Immediately, the two of them hugged each other's back with one hand in tacit understanding, with the tips of their noses touching their noses, and their lips only slightly apart, looking at each other in silence.
Ling Zhi looked at her big sparkling eyes and felt that all the lakes and mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers in the world were not as good as her sea of stars.
Ling Zhi wanted to appreciate the light in her eyes more, but his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the girl:
"Lingzhi, why are you looking at me? Why don't you say anything?"
Ah? Aren't you looking at me too? This...
"I...I...I...can't brush my teeth here. I'm afraid the bad taste in my mouth will be transmitted to you."
Ling Zhi just found an excuse and got over it.
"Hehe, don't worry, I haven't brushed my teeth either."
"Then you're not afraid of letting me smell your bad breath?"
"Don't be afraid! We'll hurt each other! Haha..."
"You damn girl!"
"What did you say? When did you give me a nickname?"
Zhao Shiyan stared at Ling Zhi and angrily scalped Ling Zhi.
"You can also give me a nickname."
"Uh-huh……"
The girl pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking seriously about this issue.
"Ling Zhi... Ling Zhi... Then, how about calling me eldest nephew, haha, how about it, am I very considerate..."
"You're such a considerate person, but you took advantage of me again."
Ling Zhi said angrily.
The two bodies hugged each other tightly, teasing each other, and loving each other on this cold night...
