Chapter Ninety-Eight: On the Relationship between Reproductive Posture and the Strength of Kryptonians
"Your ridicule can't change the facts, after using this method, the prosperity of the Kryptonians is unprecedentedly strong, and both the force and the level of technology have made great strides." Joel was dismissive of Ian's words.
Hearing this, Ian suddenly felt silly to discuss the issue of rolling the sheets with a mechanical being, rubbed his temples and asked, "Is this how Carl El was born?" ”
Joel's exaggerated expression was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head, "I still can't understand this matter, why did the scientist Joel choose the natural way of production to give birth to offspring?" ”
Ian shrugged his brows and continued, "Actually, I also don't understand one thing, since the Kryptonians are so powerful, why don't they open the colony to the entire universe?" Now that they have solved the problem of fertility, population will not become a constraint, right? Even if Krypton explodes, it won't be completely extinct! ”
In fact, when I was watching comics and movies, Ian was thinking about this question, how could a technological civilization that can launch babies to Earth not immigrate to other planets? Even if you don't invade, you won't be unable to live.
Joel looked at Ian a little strangely, "Where did you hear that Kryptonians are powerful?" In the universe, even the technological level of Kryptonians does not dare to say that they are safe and worry-free, and after the explosion of Krypton, Kryptonians who have lost their ability to reproduce cannot continue their offspring, and will gradually decay with the passage of time! ”
Ian's brain jumped in shock when he heard this, "Could it be that all Kryptonians are monks?" Without the help of technology, you won't have children? Even if you can't find a human, at least you can hybridize with other intelligent creatures! How can it not be possible to give birth to offspring? And how was Carl El born! ”
Joel sighed with some regret: "Krypton has been practicing this fertility method for tens of thousands of years, and the choice between Kryptonite couples is completely out of spiritual love, and there is no pursuit of mating behavior. It's just a process of reproduction, and if you've found a better way, why do that pointless thing? As for the birth of Carl Aire, it is because the scientist Joel found a method of mating in the materials of other civilizations, and he found that humans also have these related organs, and then there was the birth of Carl Aire. ”
Ian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Well, when I see Carl El, I will tell him solemnly how difficult his birth was!" ”
Joel nodded and said: "As for the colonization problem you mentioned, not every crew member of the expedition ship is a warrior, in fact, most of them are scholars and researchers, and there is naturally no possibility of confrontation in the face of the multitude of life on the rest of the planets, after all, no matter how powerful they are, they can't offset the numerical advantage." ”
Ian asked with some surprise, "The Kryptonians are so powerful that they can't rule over a few civilizations?" Even if it's not strong at first, it's good to bask in the sun! When the time comes, it's time to relearn the posture of reproduction! ”
Joel glared back in the same confusion, "I don't understand what you mean, what is it to bask in the sun?" Most Kryptonians are only as powerful as you are, and in terms of your physical fitness, there are only a few Kryptonian armies that can match yours. That's why I'm working with you, someone as strong as you is is bound to have extraordinary achievements on Earth. ”
Ian's jaw dropped suddenly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he asked with some uncertainty, "That...... Have Kryptonians ever sunbathed? ”
"Sunburned."
"What color? Red? ”
Ian asked again, but Joel's expression became more and more strange, "All colors have been sunburned, red, yellow, but why do you ask?" Does the sun have anything to do with whether the Kryptonians are strong or not? ”
"Is it okay?"
"Does it matter?"
“……”
The corners of Ian's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head to enter the database to find the Kryptonians' research on the sun, matter analysis, energy intensity, and even the year of birth can be determined, but there is no record of what effect the sun has on the Kryptonians! Seeing this, a concept instantly appeared in Ian's mind, the sun is no longer the energy source of Kryptonians?
"Uh, can Kryptonians fly? I mean, you don't need to be assisted by tools, you just fly naked! ”
Joel couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "Humans are not birds, and they have not grown wings, how can they ......?"
Well, he froze before he finished his words, as Ian's body slowly floated up, shrugged his shoulders and a sense of superiority arose!
"This ...... There's no reason for that, huh? Obviously, the quality of Kryptonians is so much stronger than that of earthlings, there is no reason why earthlings can fly and Kryptonites can't! Joel exclaimed in disbelief, and even scratched his head with the hologram, and then suddenly exclaimed as if he had thought of something: "By the way, you go to the captain's room, there are many books in the scientist Joel's collection, which are said to be inherited from a relic of the ancient days of Krypton." See if there's any mention in it? ”
Hearing this, Ian flew out without landing, opened the door to the captain's room, and found three shelves of books, or slates. Each bookshelf is ten meters high and wide, and rows of small stone slabs are placed on it, on which dense words are inscribed.
Ian looked back and saw that Joel hadn't entered, and explained, "There's nothing connected to me in this room, so I can't get in." I can input Kryptonian language data into your bracers, and you can scan them to see what's inside! ”
Ian nodded, and began to scan after the data was transmitted, most of the stone slabs here were excavated from the ruins, many of them were no longer complete, but a few words still described the difference between ancient Kryptonians and modern Kryptonians.
The biggest difference is that although the Kryptonian people at that time were not strong in science and technology, and their per capita strength was not outstanding, there were occasionally a few masters who could move mountains and reclaim the sea, and flying or something was a low-end ability.
"Has the scientist Joel confirmed this record?" After telling him the results, Ian asked awkwardly.
Joel sighed, "At first, the scientist Joel thought that what was recorded above was just a myth, a kind of praise for the ancestors!" So he doesn't care, but looking at your situation, I think there is a good chance that the above account is true. In other words, Kryptonians were originally able to fly! Does it have something to do with the sun you are talking about? But Kryptonians have been in the sun before! ”
"Hehe, when I didn't say it!"
Ian suddenly had a guess that perhaps the apparent progress in Krypton's way of reproducing was the culprit that killed this ability!
