49. The Great Record.
"Red Sun" was rely a descriptive term.
In Alex's mory, the red sun existed on Superman's ho planet, Krypton. It was a massive star emitting a red glow, under which the Kryptonians' physique was almost indistinguishable from that of normal humans. So why did Kryptonians turn into invulnerable beings with laser vision and the ability to awaken a biological field when they ca to Earth?
This has to do with the Kryptonians' physiology. Kryptonians are a race born with superpowers, evident from the legend of Kryptonian god RAO. However, unlike other superhumans, Kryptonians' superpowers evolve based on stellar radiation.
In other words, when exposed to the radiation of a highly energetic star, this radiation is absorbed by their bodies and imdiately converted into a powerful energy source, which is then supplied to the superpowers encoded in their genes, activating the inherent abilities.
Sadly, the star in the Kryptonian solar system was a red sun, a star nearing the end of its life. Whether it was a red giant or a red supergiant, it was clear that it had little energy left.And a sun nearing the end of its "life" couldn't provide energy to the people of Krypton. Thus, under the radiation of the red sun, the entire Krypton, including its people, beca a planet of beings with no superpowers.
Additionally, Krypton itself, after absorbing the radiation for so long, also carried so of the red sun's radiation. So, after Krypton's destruction, the scattered "Kryptonite" was essentially material carrying the red sun's radiation.
On the other hand, in the solar system where Earth is located, the sun is a star of the yellow dwarf category. Although it had existed for a long ti, compared to other stars, this yellow sun was in its "pri," emitting a trendous amount of energy.
Unlike Earth's creatures, who have been exposed to this energy from the start, Kryptonians, upon arriving here, would have their bodies' superpower genes instantly activated by the abundant radiation, awakening their inherent powers sequentially.
This is why Kryptonians beco "Supern" on Earth. As for their fear of Kryptonite, it's simply because they can't withstand the red sun's radiation, which temporarily overrides the yellow sun's radiation, returning their enhanced bodies to a powerless state.
Alex rembered that Superman had resisted Kryptonite several tis in the comics. While this is related to Superman's origin and the god RAO, it also shows that the red sun is just a thod to counter Kryptonians, not a surefire weapon.
To most, the red and yellow suns are switches for Superman's powers. But Alex knew that other stars, like blue suns, neutron stars, and even quasars, carrying massive amounts of radiation, could greatly enhance Kryptonians, making them almost invincible.
However, this was mainly in so comic descriptions. Alex wasn't sure if these could be used to judge Kryptonians in reality, as their physique varied across different universes. For example so Kryptonians might lose their powers under the yellow sun.
This uncertainty worried Alex because he couldn't guarantee all his judgnts were correct. The best way to solve his current problem was to try as much as possible firsthand.
"Detected 32,597 stars matching your description of 'Red Sun.' Would you like to conduct a more detailed scan?" Miss Minutes took a long ti but delivered satisfactory results.
"Continue refining the search. I need a planet under red sun radiation with similar mass, gravity, climate, temperature, and ecology to Earth," Alex quickly said.
Despite movies depicting planets as similar, each was unique. As an ordinary human, Alex would die if he ventured to an unknown planet. Even slightly different ecosystems could make the air there toxic for him.
Waiting quietly, Alex expected this scan to take even longer, but within minutes, Miss Minutes provided several dozen options.
This showcased the tipad's power. It could let Alex travel to any ti point from a universe's beginning. There were nurous planets matching Alex's criteria in that imnse span of ti.
If Alex hadn't specified the planets to be closest to Earth, Miss Minutes could have listed hundreds more suitable ones.
Finally, Alex chose a planet where land covered two-thirds of the surface, simply because its appearance was pleasing.
Perfect as General Zod's tomb.
"Would you like to mark the target node for spatial transition?"
"Yes." Alex nodded.
Miss Minutes asked again, "Would you like to na it?"
"Na it?" Alex paused. Looking at the vast database, he realized he should na and categorize them for easier future reference.
After so thought, Alex said, "Na the previous universe 'Ruins Universe' and the detected target node 'Zod's Tomb.'"
Then, rembering sothing else, Alex continued, "Also, change the code for my current universe to 'Flashpoint One Universe,' and record my current ti node as 'Genesis Engine.'"
"Understood. 'Ruins Universe' and 'Flashpoint One Universe' are nad. All records are being integrated. Would you like to perform spatial transition now?" Miss Minutes sounded a bit eager.
Alex shook his head. "Not yet. First, you need to send back."
"Understood."
As Miss Minutes finished speaking, Alex felt a sudden sense of weightlessness. He only had ti to glance back at the still-polluted and corroded Star Giant, as if engraving it in his mory.
The next mont, Alex's body shuddered, and the surroundings reverted to the Batcave.
