"Musk has no faith."
This one sentence alone dismissed Musk's claims: white people who don't believe in Protestantism aren't traditional WASPs, let alone Musk, who was born in South Africa.
Ultimately, America chose Simmons from among John Parden, Elon Musk, and James Simmons.
If the current president of America were still Barack Obama, Musk would still have a chance. But now the Democrats are in power, and James Simmons donated a huge sum of money to the Democratic Party during the 2020 election, exceeding 10 million US dollars.
Simons was a candidate that was accepted by all parties in America. He earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from UC Berkeley at the age of 23 and became the chair of the mathematics department at Stony Brook University at the age of 30—a genius among geniuses.
It was during his time at Stony Brook University that Simons and the Chinese mathematical master Shiing-Shen Chern jointly proved the Chern-Simons theorem, which is the foundational theory of differential topology and the mathematical basis of Yang-Mills theory.
Simons is not only a renowned figure in the mathematics world, but he also worked for the Institute for Defense Analyses in America for four years when he was 26 years old, specifically to solve cryptography problems for the American military.
In 1987, Simons left academia to found Renaissance Technologies on Wall Street, becoming one of the world's greatest hedge fund managers, with a net worth of RMB 140 billion in 2020.
Moreover, Simmons is a traditional white man born in America and a Protestant, a traditional white Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
There were also some less obvious reasons, such as Simmons being easier to control, being over eighty years old, and them wanting to know if the Standardized Brain could extend lifespan.
After the American government and the forces behind it made their decision, NSA Director Keith flew from Fort Meade to New York to meet with Simmons.
"Professor, there's some news that Duke would have told you beforehand, but considering your age and inability to withstand the shock, I'm flying here personally to inform you. Also, you must remain calm."
"Avoid getting too excited at such times and ruining everything."
Keith served for nearly 20 years and was once Simmons's student, so he was always called Professor.
The American National Security Agency (NSA) employs the most PhDs in mathematics worldwide. Keith graduated from the mathematics department of Stony Brook University and joined the NSA, where he worked for many years before becoming its director.
Simmons had a ruddy complexion and a loud voice, showing no signs of being 83 years old. "Keith, it's been a long time. What good news requires your personal visit?"
Keith stood up and put his hand on Simmons' shoulder: "Professor, calm yourself down first, and then I'll tell you the details."
Simmons took a deep breath, took a black and gold box from his desk drawer, and then took out a reagent and injected himself in the thigh.
"Endorphins produced in China are very effective. I feel incredibly calm after each injection."
Because of his collaboration with Shiing-Shen Chern, Simmons has a good impression of China, and the Chern-Simons apartment at Tsinghua University was donated by him.
Keith agreed, "It's a good thing. Many of our researchers take an injection when they're feeling frustrated and lack inspiration. After the injection, they feel like all the noise has died down."
Simmons relaxed: "And it's not addictive. The only downside is that the production volume is too small and it's a bit expensive."
Upon seeing this, Keith said:
"Professor, now that you've calmed down, let's begin."
Do you know Merlin and his Magic Coin?
Simmons nodded: "I know, could it be?"
Even though he had just taken endorphins, Simmons couldn't suppress his excitement.
Keith: "That's right, just as you guessed. America has obtained the Magic Coin associated with Enceladus, and we plan to use it on you."
Simmons heard that America had acquired a Magic Coin and was going to give it to someone they had chosen to use, but he never imagined that he would be that chosen person.
As a mathematical master, Simons had a deep understanding of the Haber algorithm and the Haber constant, and he also tried to exchange Martian coordinates for magic coins.
They just couldn't beat China.
Keith: "All official agencies in America have only received this one Magic Coin, so you should understand how precious it is."
"Since we've decided to use this on you, you'll naturally have to pay a price."
Simmons stated unequivocally: "I'm willing to pay any price!"
The opportunity was rare; the mysterious magic was right before his eyes, and he was willing to give anything to seize it.
Keith: "Okay, Professor, you need to fake your death. We'll arrange for you to fake your death in three days, giving you three days to handle the aftermath."
"Then you will need to join the National Security Agency's laboratory and organize research on magic."
"Secondly, you only have the right to use Magic Coin; ownership will remain with us to ensure that if anything happens to you, we will still have a new Magic Coin."
"Finally, you will need to cooperate in some human experiments that will not affect your personal safety and health. We need to conduct in-depth research on the standard demon brain."
After listening, Simmons felt that it was completely within his acceptable range.
Compared to America, China acted much faster, acquiring Mars-bound magic coins.
After determining the candidate, they immediately had him injected with the standard demonic brain.
"It's unbelievable that the Standard Demon Brain appeared out of thin air."
"Merlin's methods are far more sophisticated than we imagined. The radio transmission facilities on Pluto must have been transmitted there through magic."
"The closest distance between Earth and Pluto is 4.78 billion kilometers."
"Have you observed spatial fluctuations?"
"The moment the standardized demonic brain appeared out of thin air, there was a very obvious fluctuation in space."
The standard user of the magical brain chosen by China is Mr. Yuan, the modern-day Shennong, whose condition is already very bad.
The location chosen by the Chinese government was the Xiangjiang River. After the injection of the standard-issue brain-injecting agent, Mr. Yuan's vital signs stabilized significantly.
Three days later, Mr. Yuan recovered and felt better than ever before.
After the Chinese official representative explained the whole story to him in detail, Mr. Yuan said:
"I feel ashamed that the country used such precious things on me."
Representative: "Mr. Yuan, you don't need to think like that. The country has always recognized your contributions. Although you have recovered your health, we need to arrange for you to fake your death for some reasons."
"Then you will be assigned to work at a secret national base, and you may not see your children for a long time."
China's arrangements are very similar to those of America.
Mr. Yuan agreed without hesitation.
The Chinese government also followed its established plan to extensively mourn and publicize Mr. Yuan's alleged faked death.
