Chapter 3531 Research on Cats and Dogs (79)
In short, the conversation with Zod ended so tepidly. The main reason is that the purpose of the conversation with Zod was more to satisfy curiosity. The Kryptonian General, who was seriously injured and captured, did not sit at the other end of the negotiating table with justification. What happened now has nothing to do with his attitude.
Of course, it is impossible to return the spaceship you have obtained, and there is a very legitimate reason. Oliver couldn't help but ask, the spaceship has been returned to you, can you drive away?
The answer is no. Zod's condition is very bad now. Kryptonite toxins have entered his blood, and the circulatory system in the Kryptonian human body cannot decompose and metabolize such things.
To completely remove toxins, an external blood circulation system is needed, that is, to extract his blood, clean up the toxins inside, and then inject them back.
This is a rather dangerous and complicated process, and it may also require several Kryptonians to donate blood. The good news is that there are enough Kryptonians here, and the bad news is that they are not very normal in spirit.
Currently, the only superman who can be called a normal brain in the Justice League base is the superman from the Wayne family's adventure universe. The other superman, whether it is the unrighteous superman or Clark, are not normal. It is difficult to count on them to donate blood.
Fortunately, Kara in this universe is a normal person. Although she has no good feelings for Zod who invades the earth, Kara would not refuse if she could save his life.
Lex brought the treatment instrument from Luther Hospital, then used kryptonite to make needles, and began to clean Zod's blood.
The others led by Hal focused on the spacecraft. This spacecraft was the first extremely complete Kryptonian warship they seized, and it has great research value.
But it is also worth discussing where and how to study it.
"NASA has replied to me," Lex said, sitting on the chair beside him. "They have a lot of research projects and they can't free up their staff for the time being. But they have some problems with their funding, and maybe we can start from this."
"Funding?" Hal said while using green light energy to test the protective coating on the surface of the spacecraft, "Didn't Congress pass the application for NASA's additional research budget this quarter some time ago?"
"How many people do you think will be really used for research?" Lex snorted coldly, "scientists' estimates of budgets are very accurate. The temporary increase indicates that there are other people who are crazy."
Hal sighed deeply and said, "I feel we can't count on them anymore. What do you say from the Soviet Union?"
"No money." Lex replied very simply, "He said that the aircraft carriers have been shut down, so where can I find the money to study what spacecraft?"
"I think they don't believe it." Hal hit the nail on the head, "they must have felt that it was the Americans who were putting satellites again, and they wanted to drag them down like the previous moon landing plan, so they were not fooled."
"The situation is complicated," Lex said. "In short, they are too busy to take care of themselves and are less likely to send their precious scientists to the United States."
"Well, then who else?"
"Europe does not have that ability, and I have never contacted East Asian countries, but it probably is the same. It seems that we can only find a way ourselves."
"You join forces with Bruce, can't you find something to do?"
"It's OK, but it takes a long time. I have to spend my energy on running the Luther Group, and you can't guarantee that Bruce stays in the laboratory honestly."
"It seems we have nothing to do for the time being." Hal sighed and said, "Seal this thing first and study it when there is conditions."
"We can't put this thing underground in the Luther group," Lex said. "Otherwise I will face endless harassment, and so will the Justice League. It's better to ship it quietly to a place that no one can reach."
"You said Mercury? Well, I'll let Green Lantern evacuate there. We're going to go around Mars."
Lex waved his hand, stood up from his chair, and said, "What do you think of Krypton?"
"Clark's hometown? When I went to find information, I walked around below, and there was nothing to see. The members of the parliament destroyed most of the technological equipment before their death, activated the self-destruction procedures of almost all colonial spacecraft, and killed many Kryptonians who went out to perform missions."
"That means not all dead?"
"Of course not. They are just the destruction of civilization, not the genocide. There are still some Kryptonians in the universe, some left Kryptonians in their early years and failed to catch up with the destruction of civilization; and some carried out missions in some relatively remote colonies and escaped this disaster."
"Do you think Zod can revive Krypton?"
Hal leaned on the spacecraft and said: "Their plan sounds a bit feasible. Anyway, they don't have to reproduce naturally. They just need to use treasure books and instruments to create countless Kryptonians."
"But we all know that this may not work because they have not solved the fundamental problem."
"Yes." Lex nodded, "if they don't solve the fundamental problem, then the new Krypton would probably be destroyed in the same way."
"It is unlikely to let them return to the original way of reproduction. The only way I can think of is to control the population. As long as the population is small enough, the resources on the parent star are almost infinite for everyone. Although it is not a question of going further, at least it will not repeat the same mistake."
"I guess Zod planned so too," said Lex. "He controlled the treasure books and instruments alone, so he naturally had a way to control the population. He first created a batch of Krypton babies, and then slowly resumed the operation of the equipment on Krypton after he was raised. It would be considered a successful revival."
"You are going to let him go back like this?"
"You should know that it's meaningless to stop him." Lex paced the other end of the room, saying, "Krypton has no conflict of interest with the Earth, and is very far away. It's not enough to run over to plunder the solar system's resources."
"And Krypton is a highly human-like civilization, and many of their science and technology can be used by humans. They are also very strong, and they are quite powerful thugs."
"In addition, there are old Kryptonian orphans like Clark and Carla who are very fond of humanity. Although Zod suffered a little injury here, if we are willing to help him revive Krypton, he should not care."
"The revival of the Kryptonian population is not that fast, from a few decades to a hundred years, and can only build the most basic social order. By that time, human science and technology will also develop, and as one rises and the other falls, it may not be impossible to become allies."
Hal nodded, obviously agreeing with Lex's words. He said: "We don't need to be enemies with the Kryptonians, because there are many people in this universe who are more likely to be enemies with humans. Don't forget that the Darkseid and the Guardian of our universe have not yet exerted their efforts."
When Hal and Lex were a little silent when they thought about how big trouble the group of monsters and monsters in the universe would cause in the future.
Then he thought that there were countless dangers hidden deep in the multiverse, and he was even speechless.
"I just hope that Kryptonians can be like Clark or Kara," said Hal. "I don't ask for goodness and justice, but at least I feel a little responsible. They have created so many powerful warriors through genetic screening. Is it just to circle around a planet?"
"Can the Kryptonians become the Green Lantern?" Lex asked suddenly.
"It should never have happened in history," Hal said. "Most of the Green Lanterns come from civilizations that are not so advanced, because advanced civilizations do not need us to help them with justice, and they also feel that we are annoyed to fly around, and they all have some means to resist us. The same is true for Kryptonians. If the rings cannot fly in, they will naturally not be able to recruit them."
"Maybe you can talk to Zod," Lex said. "Krypton will be very vulnerable during the revival of the population. If they are willing to choose a few individuals and be recruited by the Green Light Corps, you can provide them with security protection..."
"There is only a piece of wreckage left on Krypton, and the colonies do not have any good resources. There should be no civilization to pay attention to it. If Zod just secretly brought the instruments and treasure books back, he would probably not be discovered in a short period of time."
Lex raised his lips and said, "Yes, others won't know what he is going to do, but we know, you know too. Green Lanterns who are patrolling other high-civilized sectors can also know..."
"You mean..." Hal narrowed his eyes slightly, and he licked his upper teeth with his tongue, saying, "If I could also let the Kryptonians join the Green Light Legion, the Guardians of the Universe would never be able to shake my position again."
"Yes, this is actually a win-win situation." Lex turned his head and said, "You use the power in your hands to help them rebuild their homes, and they use their powerful individual power to help you consolidate your position in the Green Lantern Legion. By that time, even if the guardians of the universe want to attack you, they have to ask your personal guards if they agree."
"And, although you have a good control over the Green Lantern Legion now, the Guardian of the Universe is not only one legion. To replace those blue-skinned monsters and completely control the emotional spectrum, we must unite all our strength."
"I'll go talk to Zod." Halmai walked out.
Lex stood there, silently looking at the huge spacecraft, thinking about the future changes in the situation in human society.
In the house where Zod was treated, only Hal and Zod were left behind. No one knew what they were talking about, except for the Batman who had been in before and left at least two kilograms of eavesdropping machines.
After learning that Hal intends to recruit a new generation of Kryptonians as Green Lanterns on the condition of protecting Krypton reconstruction, and plans to form a personal guard based on them, Zod also agreed, Batman began to think about whether there was something wrong with the development of the universe they were in.
In most universes, the earth is isolated and helpless, all aliens are invaders, and all disasters must be resolved by the Justice League. All requests for assistance are either sent out and there is no news after they are sent, or a few people are symbolically coming, and they can't help much.
There is no magic defense network, no Gothamri world, no metropolitan dungeon, every time you solve a disaster, it is like hitting a gopher, one hitting a gopher, one hitting a gopher, one hitting a gopher, every time you are unprepared, and you are exhausted every time.
