Chapter 3548 Soul Catcher (VI)

"Krypton is a star." Injustice Batman made a shocking statement.

Injustice Superman and Schiller were both stunned.

Injustice Batman is staring at a diagram.

This is the maintenance room they found on this level of the mine. Apparently, at the time in the dream, Krypton had not yet been destroyed. All equipment was functioning normally, and the instruments that monitored the activity of the Earth's core were also reporting data truthfully.

None of the three of them could understand the Kryptonian language, but Batman understood all kinds of data better than them.

Assuming the laws of the universe remain unchanged and all life forms are carbon-based, the basic sciences of all civilizations are not much different, especially in terms of data. Basically, there is only a difference in the form of expression, and the content to be monitored remains unchanged in essence.

"What's wrong?" Schiller looked at him and asked.

Injustice Batman stood there for a long time without saying anything, as if he was accepting a fact. He looked at Schiller and said, "How credible are dreams?"

"The credibility of shallow dreams is relatively high," Schiller explained, "You can understand this as Hale's past memories."

Injustice Batman pointed to the diagram of the instrument in front of him and said, "This is a fusion reaction monitor. The instrument shows that the energy core that is active underground is a huge high-energy fusion reactor."

"This kind of pattern usually only appears in stars. Either Krypton is a star, or it should have become a star."

Schiller only had a basic understanding of professional astronomy, but he could understand what Injustice Batman meant.

As we all know, the biggest difference between stars and planets is that there are continuous nuclear fusion reactions inside stars, while planets do not.

So, if there is a nuclear fusion reaction inside a planet, is it still a planet?

Theoretically, this is impossible. The mass required to trigger nuclear fusion is simply not something a planet can achieve.

Taking the solar system as an example, the minimum mass required to trigger nuclear fusion is about 7.5% of the mass of the sun. The mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is only 0.1% of the sun. Not to mention the earth, even if you squeeze thousands or tens of thousands of them together, it still cannot reach the minimum reaction conditions.

Krypton is much smaller than the Earth. Where does it get such a large mass to be compressed to the extreme and ignite the fire of fusion?

If the mass is that large, then the other planets in the galaxy should not be orbiting their suns, but should be orbiting Krypton.

But Schiller trusts Batman's judgment. He doesn't talk nonsense when it comes to science.

"What do you think could have caused this?" Schiller asked.

"Human scientists also have a hypothesis," said Injustice Batman. "Theoretically, by gathering about 80 Jupiters together and compressing them, we can artificially create a smaller red dwarf star."

"But considering the current level of human technology, this is absolutely impossible to achieve. However, perhaps there are other civilizations that can do it. Who knows."

Schiller pondered. He thought, the universe is so vast that nothing is impossible. The civilizations in the American comic universe are vast and numerous. Although most of the cosmic civilizations in DC are not well-known, the little blue man should be able to do it.

The three empires in Marvel must have such technology. They even have artificial space colonies, which is to create a star, then many planets, create an artificial galaxy, and then station troops in it, which is a bit like humans reclaiming land and building islands.

In order to avoid the entropy increasing too fast, their actions are relatively cautious, but near the ring star area, there are many such artificial galaxies, which cannot be seen from the outside.

So, Krypton could also be an artificial planet?

To be precise, it is an artificial star, but for some reason, it formed planets during its construction.

Of course, Injustice Batman also thought of the possibility of "man-made". He first thought that it might be done by the Kryptonians - for convenience, they placed a fusion reactor in the core of their home planet.

But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong: they could build a fusion reactor, so why put it at the center of the earth? How is this different from building a house on a bomb?

Although nuclear fusion is said to be safe and pollution-free, it also depends on quality. This thing in the center of the Krypton planet is obviously not safe.

How do you describe its danger? Probably, even if you put this plan on the desk of the President of the United States, he would not dare to sign it.

This was obviously beyond the expectations of the three people, and it might even overturn all their previous speculations about Krypton.

If the Kryptonians were not responsible for this, it would mean that a certain civilization created this planet, which would also mean that the Kryptonians might not be a naturally evolved race, but an artificial race.

Although the entire universe was created by God, sons and grandsons are still different.

After reaching this conclusion, many of Schiller's doubts were answered, such as why the Kryptonians could not adapt to the radiation of the stars in this universe, why their gene screening technology was so powerful, and why they died so hastily.

Injustice Batman is obviously better at conspiracy theories than him. From his expression, you can tell that he has probably compiled tens of thousands of science fiction movies in his mind.

"Hail knew about this," Schiller said. "It was in his dream, which means he may have been here, seen these things, and had someone explain everything to him."

"Jor-El," said Injustice Batman. "He may know more than we think."

"It seems you know more than I thought." Barry folded his arms, leaned against the wall of the laboratory, and stared at Al who was busy at the laboratory bench.

Al was carefully pouring silver liquid into a mold. Without looking up, he said, "I'm just an ordinary scientist, not a man of the future."

Barry came to his other side and said, "What's going on with your council here? They give me a feeling..."

"What does it feel like?"

"It's like I don't want to live anymore." Barry paused and described it more seriously, "It's like I'm having a doomsday party and I don't think about the future at all."

"We are a race without a future." After Al finished speaking, he added, "But that may not be the case now."

"I want to know what's going on here," Barry said bluntly. "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep."

Al had no intention of being a riddler. He put the mold into the cooling machine and said:

"We are not the first generation of Kryptonians, but the second generation. We call ourselves 'Kryptonians', and the race that originally lived in this galaxy called themselves 'Krynians'."

"At that time, our galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, had many powerful civilizations. We also formed an alliance with powerful civilizations in other nearby galaxies, and for a time we became the most powerful alliance in the universe, called the Star Alliance."

"The Star Alliance was established mainly to deal with a terrifying and powerful enemy - Apokolips, located at the edge of the Milky Way."

"Most of the member civilizations in the Star Alliance are developed and powerful, such as the New Genesis, Titan, and Krypton."

"But later, an extremely terrible disaster struck. Countless advanced civilizations gathered in the Milky Way to fight for a certain treasure, and an unprecedented war broke out."

"There are no winners in war. The treasure was destroyed, Titan was destroyed, Apokolips and New Genesis entered a cold war, and the Covenant led by Krypton was severely damaged in this war until it completely split."

"Because too many weapons and resources were mobilized in this war, the universe experienced an acute increase in entropy. The increase in dark matter caused a sharp decrease in stellar radiation, leading to the demise of the Kryptonians, who relied on absorbing stellar radiation as their source of power."

"They created you before they perished?" Barry asked.

"That's what they wanted to do, and they probably succeeded."

"What do you mean roughly?"

"Because the radiation from the star has decreased too much, they already know that they are not far from extinction. So they want to create a race that is not affected by the radiation from the star."

Barry finally caught on and said, "But it seems like they've backfired."

"To be precise, it was interfered with. Someone tampered with it." Al adjusted the parameters of the cryogenic machine and continued, "At that time, there were three major families in the Kryptonian clan, namely Al, Zod and Wex."

"Most of the El family - that is, my family - are scientists, most of the Zod family are generals, and the Wex family are politicians."

"Since the birth of the Kryptonian race, this tradition has been maintained. You should already know about the El family and the Zod family. The Wesker family is the family that leads the council."

Barry suddenly realized something. He said, "Could it be that this guy did this?"

Al nodded and said, "Yes. But it's not just them. I speculate that they should have colluded with some other advanced civilizations to tamper with the genetic data of the Kryptonians."

"They taught you to fear stellar radiation?"

"More than that. They're setting us up to die someday from stellar radiation."

Barry continued to think along with his words.

No wonder when I first said Krypton would be destroyed, Al wasn't at all moved. It turned out that he had known it for a long time.

The destruction of Krypton was not due to any workers' uprising, but because there was something wrong with their genes and they were destined to perish at that time.

Then he remembered what Al had said before: the parliament wanted to build robots, but they didn't build machines first, but artificial intelligence first. Now it seems that there are also big problems here.

If the Wicks family who rule the parliament are traitors, then the artificial intelligence they create must be no good.

No wonder Al, who was born in the Al family, adopted Hale. I'm afraid they also planned to use Hale to deal with the artificial intelligence and the Wex family behind him.

It’s a pity that in the end the Wicks family succeeded and Krypton was destroyed.

No, Barry thought, Al's attitude was too calm. He might have other plans even if he didn't come.

The destruction of Krypton is not a completely bad thing, because if there was a problem with the genes from the beginning, then this batch of Kryptonians would definitely be useless.

But this does not mean that it is impossible to create a new batch of Kryptonians. As long as the gene that fears stellar radiation is eliminated, the new Kryptonians can inherit all the culture and knowledge of the previous generation of Kryptonians without any loss.

But at this moment Barry was more concerned with one question, he said: "Why didn't Clark die from the outbreak of genetic problems?"

Al seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, waiting for someone to ask him. He stood up straight, adjusted his collar, cleared his throat, and said:

"Because I, the greatest scientist in Krypton's history, and my brother have successfully eliminated this root gene known as 'impossible to eliminate'. Carl and Kara will be perfect Kryptonians without any genetic defects!"

"What about Zod?"

Al's face immediately fell.

"Which Zod? Could it be Dru Zod? This bastard is not dead?!!"

"He's not dead." Barry said, and added in his heart: But it's much more miserable than death.
