Simmons instructed his research assistant to send the optimized Haber algorithm to the mathematics center specifically established for Magic Coin.

This center brings together a group of top mathematicians in America. The optimization of the Haber algorithm ultimately needs to be confirmed by them before it is sent to NASA.

"Simmons is still Simmons, we made the right choice."

"This time we need to be faster than all other countries."

"I really don't know what China was thinking, using the magic brain on an agricultural scholar, and then that agricultural scholar went on to do seed research."

"The Chinese have a different way of thinking than we do. We don't need to pay attention to them. We should just do our own thing. Magic is the best tool for us to maintain our dominance!"

"If we can figure out how Merlin achieved teleportation, no country on Earth could refuse America!"

"Is there any progress in Simmons's research on magic?"

"No, I can still only move objects within a small area by willpower, and I have absolutely no clue about spatial teleportation."

"No one knows how Merlin managed to transmit the radio communication device to Pluto, and I don't think Merlin would tell anyone that."

If America were to master space teleportation, it would mean it possesses the capability for global, zero-delay strikes, something no other nation on Earth could accept.

America has been emphasizing decapitation tactics for years, and if it had this capability, its decapitation tactics would be even more unrestrained.

The more crucial point is that if weapons of mass destruction can be delivered in real time and to specific locations, and if this capability is possessed by one entity, the balance of the Earth will be completely disrupted.

Zheng Li waited until the Hive Brain was completed before revealing the magic to prevent Blue Star from obtaining a standardized brain and disrupting the existing peace.

He wouldn't teach spells like spatial teleportation, and if someone on Earth figured it out on their own, he could restrict it through the Hive Brain's permissions.

Although war can promote technological development in some ways, Zheng Li, a mage of commoner origin, sincerely detests war.

Especially for a planet like Earth, which has a relatively short history and a history of war that makes up the majority of its existence, he was even more afraid that his arrival would bring chaos to Earth.

At NASA headquarters, the fully assembled James Webb Space Telescope was launched in July 2021 and successfully entered the second Lagrange point, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.

"Bill, we've found a total of 427 star systems that may harbor life during this period."

"The closest one is the red dwarf star GLZ581d in Libra, which is 20 light-years away. This planet was discovered a long time ago, and we estimate that it has liquid water and life."

Previously, America had a satellite called TESS specifically designed to observe exoplanets. It mainly inferred the stellar composition of a star system by observing changes in brightness on the surface of the host star.

Inferring the existence of life by studying galaxy structure.

Bill, the NASA administrator, asked earnestly, "I remember this planet; it seems to be the first potentially habitable extrasolar planet discovered on Earth."

"The media even hyped it up at the time."

His assistant replied, "Yes, GLZ581d has a mass about five times that of Earth and a surface temperature between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, which is just right for liquid water to exist."

"This was discovered by Europa in 2007."

Bill asked, "The coordinates of this planet should have been verified long ago. Even if it conforms to the Hayfel algorithm, it has already been excavated."

Assistant: "Yes, we recently received feedback from the mathematics center that the cosmological coordinate system of GLZ581d does not conform to the Haber algorithm."

"But this does not mean that there is no life on the planet, it just means that intelligent life cannot arise on the planet."

Bill's white eyebrows nearly flew off as he roared, "Sir, please don't waste your time on unimportant planets!"

"I'm sorry, but the other one is the host star system 59.5 light-years away from Earth. The host star of this star system is a yellow dwarf, and we estimate that there may be intelligent life on this star system."

"Because the structure of this galaxy is very similar to that of our solar system."

"There's also KPL129f, which is 62 light-years away from Earth..."

Bill said, "Select the galaxies that are most likely to meet the criteria and send the specific data of the galaxies to the math center."

"We'll wait for their feedback. If any galaxies meet the criteria, then we'll have the James Webb Telescope conduct further observations!"

"Our progress must be faster than that of other countries!"

"Tell the researchers below, this is an order!"

The Weber Telescope is now completely irrelevant to Europe, leaving the European Union feeling cheated and unable to voice its grievances.

It was precisely for this reason that the LHC of the Europa League expelled the scientists from America immediately.

Even Chinese scientists have a buffer period.

......

"Professors, according to intelligence, America has completed the optimization of the Haber algorithm."

"You are also aware of the rules for astronomy in searching for life-bearing planets. The longer we delay, the harder it will be for us to find galaxies that meet the criteria for calculation."

(In Russian, there is a distinction between "you" and "your," and "you" also has a plural form.)

"So we can't drag this out any longer, no matter what."

Special personnel from the Russian capital brought together mathematics professors from St. Petersburg University who were aware of the project.

Most people felt that what they heard was unexpected, yet reasonable.

"Who did this work? Tao?"

"I don't think so. If he had done it, Apple would have given him a big reward. It's probably those people from Princeton."

"Derigne, Witten, and the others?"

"I don't know, I can email Wowsky to ask."

Wojciech is Russian, but he went to America to study in 1990, earned his PhD in mathematics from Harvard in three years, and then became a tenured professor at Princeton.

Many American mathematicians were Russian.

(In the real world, Włowick died in 2017.)

"Wojnarowski is probably not qualified to participate in this project."

"Even if he is qualified to participate, don't email him. Aren't you just hurting him by emailing him with this kind of question?"

"Actually, our progress is not slow. Perelman's progress has exceeded my expectations. I just didn't expect America to be faster."

The professors present were all talking amongst themselves, while Perelman, as usual, sat in the corner of the conference room without engaging in conversation with anyone.

After hearing this, he felt that it was completely unexpected but also reasonable, because the strength of top mathematicians is actually not much different; they just have different areas of expertise.

When everyone is on the same page and wants to find the answer to the same question, it all comes down to who gets the first stroke of inspiration.
