Chapter 3528 Research on Cats and Dogs (76)
Different versions of comics have different explanations about how Krypton was destroyed. Currently, there are two mainstream versions: one is "theory of one's own death" and the other is "theory of planet explosion".
The former probably means that due to various social problems, the development of Kryptonian society has almost stagnated. The social problems brought about by class solidification have been accumulated for a long time, and finally suddenly broke out at a certain node. A genetic disaster swept the world, leading to the extinction of civilization.
The latter version is even simpler, that is, the Kryptonians stayed well on their planet, and suddenly something went wrong with their parent planet, and they exploded with a "bang", and then all Kryptonians died.
There are also some versions that combine these two: it is because of social problems that people bombard the planet, and then the Kryptonians became extinct.
However, after investigation by Green Lantern Hal, at least in their universe, Krypton was not blown up. The planet is still in place, but the civilization above is gone.
Because Krypton's technology is actually quite developed, it has left many traces in the universe. The destruction of this civilization is traceable, and it is not a secret.
After Hal's investigation, he probably figured out how Krypton was destroyed back then.
It is a social problem, but a careful study is still a problem of their life form itself.
The Kryptonian race is not a natural race, it means that they are not a product of natural evolution. Every Kryptonian is born through strict genetic screening, and the core technology of their race is genetic modification technology.
In other words, it is very likely that when they were born, they were as fragile as humans. However, after countless genetic modifications and screenings, they eventually became such a powerful race.
It does sound beautiful, and humans often fantasize that such genetic modification technology can make everyone stronger and beautiful, and have an unlimited lifespan.
But in fact, this evolutionary route is completely wrong. The Kryptonians proved this with their lives.
First of all, due to strict gene screening technology, most Kryptonians do not have the ability to reproduce naturally.
In other words, they cannot reproduce through mating like humans. Natural mating, which seems primitive and inefficient, has long been eliminated.
Their reproduction method is asexual reproduction, directly constructing the embryo, injecting genes, and obtaining a child.
This method of reproduction is indeed quite efficient. Moreover, their genetic modification technology allows them to directly determine what members of a certain ethnic group should do when they grow up.
For example, Clark Kent, also known as Carl Al, his father was a scientist, so he was implanted with scientists' supporting genes when he was a child, and he should have become a researcher when he grew up.
Zod's father is a soldier. He has been implanted with the supporting genes of soldiers since he was a child, and he should be a general when he grows up.
I believe that anyone with a little common sense of sociology can find that under this so-called efficient reproduction method, it is impossible for society to not have class solidification.
Will the Kryptonians implant genes of the lower-level laborers in their children?
Do workers at the bottom have the opportunity to implant the genes of social leaders or genius scientists into their children?
Of course it is impossible. They have not evolved into a complete cluster consciousness, and each has his own selfishness.
Rulers will always only implant various excellent genes into their children, allowing them to continue to be rulers; and the lower class can only implant the most common genes into their children, allowing them to be lower class for the rest of their lives.
With such underlying logic, society will naturally have various problems. These problems are almost impossible to solve.
If it is to be solved, it means completely overturning the evolutionary route over the years and starting from scratch.
If humans are used as metaphor, then this is not about letting humans return to the tree and become monkeys, but about letting humans choose to be vertebrates again.
The cost of sunk is too high, so even if you know that social problems are diverse, you really don’t have the courage to start over and do your best to maintain the status quo.
In order to suppress various social problems, the parliament formulated many strict laws. These laws further led to the solidification of social classes and created a vicious cycle until one day when the contradictions were completely ignited.
Hal found not many things, but he could probably infer the scene at that time.
There should be some unfair treatment of worker who tampered with the facilities used by Kryptonians to reproduction and amplified the radiation of a certain device for genetic modification in some way, which eventually led to genetic disorders of all Kryptonians and a fatal allergic reaction to the stellar radiation in this universe. All Kryptonians on the planet died overnight.
It is precisely because the planet has not been destroyed that many historical documents have been preserved. This also gives Zod's activities when he was young.
The crime of his exile to the Phantom Zone was called "illegal revolutionary crime", and the full name was "illegal guidance or organization of revolutionary crime".
This is also one of many strict laws formulated by the Parliament.
Because the over-exploitation of parent planet resources during the expansion of the outside world, the living conditions on Krypton are actually not good enough. Due to genetic settings, the resources allocated by Kryptonians who can only engage in lower-level labor from birth to death are pitifully small, so riots often occur.
During a certain period, various types of rebellious revolutions occurred too frequently, and the senior members of the parliament were seriously threatened by their personal safety, so they promulgated a complete set of "Counter-Revolutionary Laws".
This law probably stipulates that on Krypton, all actions that may cause revolution are illegal.
It’s not just a behavior, but if you are suspected of doing this, you will commit a crime.
For example, if people in the industry engaged in manual labor gather to discuss politics, they are suspected of revolution and can be sentenced to exile at the highest level.
If you disobey management, contradict your boss, or simply do not work seriously, you can also be sentenced to exile depending on the degree of severity.
It even reached the point where as long as you tell your children about their work content, it was suspected of illegal revolutionary education, and the highest was the sentence of exile.
All of the above are "suspected crimes". Although the highest sentence can be sentenced to exile, as long as the circumstances are not particularly serious, they will generally not be exiled.
However, the "illegal revolutionary crime" committed by Zod is not a suspected crime, but a real crime. It means that he really did it.
The life experience of Zod that Hal investigated shows that this guy was once an extraordinary revolutionary leader. He never was honest since he was a child.
According to the lifespan of humans, it is probably less than 10 years old and they organize parades in elementary school. When they first entered junior high school, they led a group of people to form a revolutionary club. In high school, they were directly expelled for gathering crowds and destroying government public facilities.
Because his father was also a general, his father brought him into the army in college. In less than a year, he triggered a mutiny at the squadron level. Later, he transferred to the security group and led the security personnel from that area to strike and march.
By the time he was 25 years old, he had been arrested 16 times, 11 of which were acquitted for insufficient evidence, and was sentenced to 5 times in prison, which was about three years in total. Later, he was sentenced to five years in one sentence for gathering a crowd and was labeled as a dangerous person by parliament.
Even though he became a key figure in the parliament, Zod did not stop his struggle.
In his last appearance, he led the pro-guard to surround the parliamentary building and directly forced the palace, fighting with the parliamentary imperial guards for more than 60 hours without any disadvantage.
It can be said that with his life experience, he can open a single episode of "Hardcore and Hard Man". If he hadn't had his luck a little badly, he would have been the Lord of Krypton now.
Unfortunately, he was caught in the end by one move and was unfortunately arrested. However, he skillfully used his legal knowledge to escape from the crime, escaped more than 160 charges, and finally only one illegal revolutionary crime was left, and the lightest punishment that could be sentenced to all the crimes - exile in the Phantom Zone for 200 years.
To be honest, this punishment is like 200 hours of community service after blowing up the Twin Towers.
Moreover, he didn't go alone. His beautiful and loyal female adjutant was deeply moved by his personal charm and volunteered to accompany him to jail and gave birth to a child for him.
After reading this resume, Hal really admired the Kryptonian general.
Then he felt a little confused. Logically speaking, such a ruthless person would not be so confused that he had to find a Kryptonian substitute in the universe, and he would have to invade this place with force.
Although humans see Kryptonians as aliens, they don’t have to hold back; of course, the same is true for Kryptonians to see humans. Zod cannot have any sympathy for humans.
But if Zod was such a person, then his so-called motivation for reviving Krypton would not make sense.
When Krypton is alive, you make trouble on it; when Krypton dies, you remember to revive Krypton. Isn’t this inconsistency?
Of course it is possible that the Krypton he wanted to build was a better Krypton. But what he had to solve first was not the problem of residence, because the planet Krypton was not exploded. Wouldn't it be better for you to rebuild it there? Why are you traveling all the way to the earth?
Having discovered that there were too many things that were unreasonable, Hal realized that there must be something that the Justice League did not know about.
So, after discussing with Lex, they urgently changed the plan and decided to talk to Zod after subduing Zod to figure out what happened back then.
After receiving the cryogenic cabin from Gotham's Midworld, Hal sent it all the way back to the Metropolis and opened the door of the cryogenic cabin in front of the Justice League members.
Logically speaking, Superman from the other two universes should feel relieved when he saw Zod's miserable appearance now. But looking at Zod who was stabbed like a hedgehog, the two couldn't help it and took a step back.
The two of them have been Superman for much longer than Clark. In order to deal with the strongest combat power in the Justice League, all kinds of invaders have made many tricks.
And their teammate, Batman, has also formulated plans that can't be counted in order to prevent superhumans like them.
But the most overwhelming thing is to bury them with a large amount of kryptonite or simply create a kryptonite prison.
But the universe they are in is different now. They have taken an epoch-making step in the utilization of kryptonite - changing external application to internal application.
The sharp thorns that pierced into Zod's body dissolved directly into his blood, causing his skin to be faintly glowing green.
