Chapter 388 Not Interested

"Pseudo-random?"

"That's right, the core of the internal algorithm of all slot machines relies on one thing - a pseudo-random number generator. A pseudo-random number generator is an algorithm used by designers to produce an approximate random number sequence to create unpredictable infinite sequence, and get a seemingly random result, but unfortunately the random result is not truly random."

Talking about this kind of thing, Waldo immediately became excited and became eloquent, "What we have to do is very simple, first of all we need to know how the random numbers in the calculation program in the slot machine are compared with the playing cards on the screen one by one. Correspondingly, what method and efficiency is used by the pseudo-random number generator to produce results? After mastering these things, we also master the secret of a slot machine. It is like a chick just out of the bath to us. Any cover."

"Well, although this metaphor is a bit vulgar, it's almost what it means." Philip nodded in agreement.

"Next we need to write a deciphering program that takes into account all the variables that affect the outcome, so that when we come to the casino and determine the operating cycle of a slot machine, we can then use the deciphering program to predict the next few days. Its operational status for hours or even days.”

"Additionally, there must be no other human interference factors during this period, such as things like casino personnel restarting and switching on and off, otherwise we will have to recalculate."

"That's right, we chose the video poker machines because they were the oldest models, and we wanted the random number generation in the program to be simpler. The video poker machines in these casinos were produced at the end of the last century. Yes, the program inside is based on a theory put forward by Donald Knuth in the 1960s, using the Monte Carlo method, which is the so-called linear feedback shift register. They use this method to deal cards, which is very mentally handicapped.

"Well, the actual situation is actually not that simple. We found their codes at the patent office and bought a machine of the same model for research. In order to find out how those codes work, Philip also wrote a Disassembler, when all the preliminary research is done, we write a small program, which can calculate where the slot machine of the casino is running, and how long there is still a royal flush, and the next step is the action It's time."

"I'm sorry for dragging everyone down." Philip said guiltily, not only because he was too nervous in the casino, which made the people in the casino suspicious, but also because he planned to stop after sweeping up the four casinos in the end. , but just couldn't hold back Justina kept teasing him, and he finally agreed softly, which caused a series of troubles later.

Although the people in the casino have been left behind, Zhang Heng, who is sitting in the back seat and has no friends or enemies, is obviously more dangerous.

"I can't blame you, we all know that you are not the most suitable candidate, but the timing accuracy of the last button is very high. Among us, you were forced by your mother to practice the piano when you were young, and you can press the button within 0.005 seconds. One key, to maintain the hit rate at about 50%, the rest of us can't do it." Waldo comforted, "You've done a good job."

"So you have other companions?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Well……"

Although Waldo has always avoided mentioning other people, what he said before was too excited and some words were not rigorous enough, but he still vaguely revealed something. In addition, the relationship between Justina and Philip that Zhang Heng had heard before After the quarrel, it is basically certain that there is a team behind them.

But this time, both of them seemed very loyal. No one admitted it, and even Philip, who had always been a little timid, took the initiative to say, "We can give you all the more than 200,000 euros we earned this time."

However, when he finished speaking, he took a sneak peek at Zhang Heng in the back row, but found that there was no reaction on the latter's face.

Zhang Heng is not interested in making money, because no matter how much money he earns, he can't bring out a copy, so as long as the expenses are enough, let alone 200,000 euros, even if 20 million euros are placed in front of him, he will not blink.

Philip gritted his teeth, "And our cheating technology, the small program we wrote to predict poker cards, can be given to you. With this thing, you can also make money from other casinos."

"I'm not interested in any of this," Zhang Heng said.

"Huh?" The two were very surprised when they heard the words. Zhang Heng came to them after the conflict between Philip and the casino, so there are only two possibilities, either he came for their money, or he had a bigger appetite and wanted to marry them. Their technology was also packaged and taken away, and apart from these two things, they had nothing else of value.

"Have you ever heard of a name named Edward?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No." The two said in unison, shaking their heads like rattles at the same time.

"The answer is too fast, very good, it seems that I have found the right owner." Zhang Heng said.

"..."

"Leave us alone, we've already told you everything we can say." Seeing that lying was impossible, Waldo begged instead.

"You misunderstood me. I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I found you just wanting to join your team."

"Why?" Philip's eyes widened.

"Just treat me as a person who sees injustice and draw your sword to help." Zhang Heng said.

The system gives two routes to complete the main task, one is to help Edward escape, and the other is to help Zero capture Edward, which means that there are two camps in this dungeon.

Although Philip and Waldo never admitted that they had any relationship with Edward, judging from their occupations, it was unlikely that they belonged to the latter camp, which meant that they should want to help Edward.

Zhang Heng is not in a hurry to stand in line, but now the two are the only clues he has found related to Edward. He needs to get as much information about Edward as possible from them, at least to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing , and the easiest way is of course to join the organization behind the two of them first.

Of course, he can also resort to violence directly. Zhang Heng doesn’t like torture to extract confessions, but it doesn’t mean he won’t torture them. In Heifan’s copy, he even pried open the mouths of guys with tougher bones. If he is serious It is very likely that the two people in front of him will not be able to last for ten seconds, but the situation is unknown now, if he really does this, it is likely to block the way to one of the camps.

This is not the situation he wants to see.

Philip and Waldo looked at each other after hearing the words, and after a while Philip said, "Uh...we can't decide this matter, we have to ask other people's opinions first."
