American comic book red Superman

Kara readily agreed to the suggestion, and that evening she checked into a hotel in the old town. Before that, she bought some stationery, as she was going to school to register the next day.

Meanwhile, at the Self-Strengthening Corps base in Kyoto, the group was working on a project, completely unaware that Superman had brought back a female superhero named Kara.

At this moment, in the underground research facility of the base, a spaceship was placed in the hall. It was the same spaceship that had been stored in the superhuman prison, and it was now being taken out for a trial dismantling.

"Dr. Eumen, do you mean to charge it up and try to activate the spaceship?"

The middle-aged man turned to look at the young-looking Dr. Eumen, his eyes filled with doubt, clearly not understanding such behavior.

"Since we can't open it from the outside, we can only try to charge it and see if it will react in any other way. Besides, the research department has been trying to dismantle this spaceship for more than ten years, but without any progress. Why not give it a try now?"

Euron looked at the spaceship with a complicated expression.

More than a decade ago, she was just starting out when she joined the research on the spaceship. For many years, the authorities have been trying to dismantle it, but the spaceship's technology far exceeded their imagination. The materials used in it could not be destroyed even by bombs, so the dismantling has never been successful.

This has made the authorities even more eager to acquire the technology of this spaceship. If they could disassemble it and learn from it, it would be a huge opportunity for China's aviation industry.

"Dr. Eumen, I'm just worried that if some of the spaceship's devices are activated, it might cause problems."

The middle-aged man didn't dare to say too much, after all, the man in front of him, who looked younger than him, was actually much older.

"It's alright. This decision was made after discussions with those above, which is why I dared to do it."

Omen reassured everyone that since it was something approved by the higher-ups, they wouldn't be held responsible if anything went wrong.

Without further hesitation, a group of people in white coats began attaching various thick wires to the spacecraft and connecting them to equipment to record the spacecraft's status in real time.

After doing all this, everyone put on protective suits and goggles and retreated into the observation room.

"let's start."

Euron spoke firmly.

Buzz

The staff member suddenly pulled the start lever, and the current instantly flowed into the spaceship along several thick lines, injecting energy. It was not electricity, but a special kind of energy that could be absorbed as long as it was attached to an object, somewhat similar to the enchanting ability of the Green Snake. Therefore, it did not need to be connected to the spaceship's wiring. It only needed to conduct the energy to the surface of the spaceship to achieve wireless charging.

In the observation room, everyone in the Euron crew looked solemn and tense, their eyes fixed on the spaceship, on the lights at the front of the ship, which hadn't been lit for over a decade.

sizzle

Suddenly, accompanied by a flicker of electricity, I heard a strange electrical noise.

In the hall, the lights on the outer spaceship flickered a few times, and then gradually stabilized. The dazzling light shone on the faces of everyone in the observation room, illuminating their excited expressions.

Inside the spaceship, on the control panel that was out of sight of the others, the "S" symbol representing the El family's faith lit up.

And it kept flashing, as if responding to something.

[PS: Just one chapter today. I need to organize the plot outline for the rest of the story first.]

Chapter 91 090: The Kryptonians' Call (Part Two)

Inside the research institute's lobby, the slightly charred surface of the spaceship flickered with lights, like lightning reflecting off everyone's faces, making the micro-expressions on each person's face clearly visible.

"Doctor, it seems like it's a success."

A researcher slowly began to speak.

"Don't stop, keep charging."

Seeing the flashing lights on the spaceship, Eumen's eyes also revealed excitement, but he did not forget to tell his subordinates to watch what they ate while working, and said: "Check the status of the spaceship, and report any problems immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not be negligent in the slightest and began to use the equipment to inspect the spaceship. The injected energy did not weaken at all. To prevent any emergencies, everyone wore protective suits. After all, what they were facing was a product from another planet. If it carried an unknown virus, it would undoubtedly cause them great harm. Of course, there was no virus on the surface of the spaceship, but they were worried that there might be germs inside.

Moreover, after more than a decade of preservation, the spaceship is airtight, and even gas cannot penetrate it. No one knows what is inside.

When the spaceship crashed in China, was it an accidental crash, or was it premeditated by its owner, with an unexpected event causing the crash during landing? It's important to understand that the spaceship wasn't detected by any Chinese agency when it crashed; someone simply noticed an unusual meteor shower passing by. These signs clearly indicate that the spaceship's owner didn't want Earthlings to discover its existence. Currently, these questions can only be answered by dissecting the spaceship.

However, it was this very spaceship that made the Chinese leadership realize more than a decade ago that there were not only humans in the vast universe, but also other advanced civilizations. Moreover, those advanced civilizations had already discovered Earth and humans. Perhaps extraterrestrial civilizations had come to Earth many years ago, but humans were too weak to know.

However, now, more than a decade later, extraterrestrial civilizations no longer seem to be a secret.

Omen stood solemnly in front of the heavy glass window, gazing at the spaceship charging in the hall, his brows revealing complexity and worry.

Because of recent events in the United States, news has also reached China. Not long ago, suspected alien species attacked Gotham City and several cities in the northern United States. They even appeared in the Atlantic Ocean. Later, they were dealt with by several powerful superheroes, including Green Lantern. Eugene knows about Green Lantern. Some people say that Green Lantern comes from an alien organization.

This is precisely why the Chinese Self-Strengthening Ministry has restarted research on this spacecraft. The crisis in the United States made the Chinese people aware of the danger and they wanted to improve their exploration in the aerospace field as soon as possible.

"Doctor, we've discovered that the spaceship isn't absorbing energy; it's only temporarily activated. Furthermore, all parts of the spaceship are in a shutdown state, with only a small portion currently operating, and even that activated part has slowed down."

At that moment, a staff member strode over and reminded them anxiously.

"Can't you find the reason?"

O'Men frowned and quickly went to the equipment to check it. Sure enough, the spaceship had only been temporarily activated, and after a short while...

After starting up, it is now gradually stopping.

"how so."

She muttered to herself that she originally thought activating the spaceship was the first step to success, but she didn't expect to be so happy for long before she was given a cold shower. Now, even if the spaceship doesn't absorb and store energy, as long as it is kept running, it is still a good thing for the research department.

However, it now appears that the spaceship was being forcibly shut down.

*Snap!*

Just then, the spaceship in the center of the hall suddenly flashed with sparks and sparks flew everywhere. The thick lines connecting the hull to the ship also exploded and charred in an instant. The lights that were originally on went out, and the bright hall was plunged into darkness in the blink of an eye. Since the circuit that had just been connected to the energy of the research department was suddenly interrupted, the entire electrical system of the research department was paralyzed. Only the backup energy was used to power some important equipment and light sources.

"PhD."

The staff members nearby, using the dim light, could see that Ou Men's face didn't show much expression, as if he had been mentally prepared.

"Let's try again once the energy is restored."

Omen took a deep breath. She was used to this situation. Over the years, she had seen her seniors or peers looking at this spaceship with resentment.

"Ah."

Seeing this, everyone waited for the power system to be restored and immediately tried to restart the spaceship. Unfortunately, they were not as lucky as before.

Perhaps the spacecraft activated some kind of protective device, and the spacecraft remained completely silent.

"never mind."

Eumen didn't let the project continue. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly asked the staff member next to her, "When the spaceship is started, is there any signal transmitted?"

"No abnormalities were detected."

The staff member shook his head.

Seeing this, Omen had someone check it again to make sure there were no problems before proceeding with the follow-up matters. Only after the spaceship was resealed did she leave the research department, preparing to return to her office to report the project progress to her superiors.

Many people were somewhat disappointed by the failure of this attempt.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, inside the spaceship sealed in the warehouse, the "S" symbol on the control panel was still flashing, and faint sounds could be heard. This formed an invisible signal that penetrated the thick steel plates and traveled into the vast space beyond the atmosphere. In that direction, countless stars twinkled, representing galaxies that humanity had never explored before. Each point of light might harbor unknown life. After a moment, the flashing symbol gradually went out.

According to the school's arrangements, Luo Wei was not supposed to go to school this semester, but he still had to help Kara with her enrollment procedures because his cousin was unfamiliar with the area and the procedures, and he didn't feel comfortable letting her handle the enrollment procedures alone.

However, Rowe didn't use his real identity. Instead, he used super hypnosis to adopt a new one. To outsiders and acquaintances, Rowe appeared to be an elder of Kara's, accompanying her to the school to complete her enrollment procedures. Under the influence of super hypnosis, no mistakes occurred, and all the procedures were completed in just a few hours. The school was quite considerate of international students; as Kara requested, she was assigned to Rowe's class. However, Kara also had to wait...

I can only formally enroll next semester, because the school is approaching its final exams now, so there is no need to attend classes.

After settling the enrollment matters, Rowe took Kara to rent the apartment next to his own. He also took her to buy daily necessities and a few sets of clothes. Kara had been wearing the same outfit all along, which was sewn on the spot in the Arctic spaceship.

As for rent and shopping expenses, with the AI ​​Shenron around, there's no need to worry about money at all. In fact, even without AI, Lo Wei wouldn't have to worry about running out of money in the future. For Superman, money is really just an external thing, something that can be dispensable.

The old suite had been uninhabited for years, with dust everywhere, cobwebs covering the corners, and clutter and dead plants piled up on the balcony.

Fortunately, for Kara, who has super speed, cleaning was easy. In just a few minutes, the old suite was completely cleaned, decorated, new wallpaper was put on the walls, green plants were planted on the balcony, and the clutter was thrown into the trash can downstairs.

"Perfect!"

Kara looked at the neat and clean house, her brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She spoke with a smile in her not-so-fluent Chinese.

"From now on, this will be your home on Earth, and I'll be living next door, so we can take care of each other in our daily lives."

Luo Wei also liked the clean and tidy environment, and his mood improved a lot, just like Kara's.

"Of course, you cook so well, I'll come over for meals every day. To be honest, you don't seem like a Kryptonian at all, you're more like an Earthling."

Kara poured two glasses of water and handed one to Rowe.

"Thank you."

Luo Wei took the water and said with a smile, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. As time goes by, I'll grow to love this place. Earth is my second home."

"By the way, could we go back to the Arctic? I forgot to bring some things with me."

When Kara remembered Earth, she took some personal belongings with her and left them in the Arctic.

"Okay."

Luo Wei nodded in agreement. He wasn't particularly busy today and was prepared to spend the whole day with his cousin, helping her adapt to life in China.

The two did not linger any longer and flew directly to the Arctic. Even during the day, their super speed allowed them to completely hide in the sea of ​​clouds, and no one would have noticed that two figures were flying through deep space.

Click—

As Rowe led Kara through the spaceship's hatch, they saw Joe El approaching with a serious expression on his face.

"Father, what happened?"

Lowe noticed the change in Joel's micro-expression.

"You've arrived just in time; the spaceship detected a signal not long ago."

Joel led the way toward the control room.

"What signal?"

Luo Wei was puzzled, but followed the man's footsteps.

“Karl, do you remember the spaceship that sent you to Earth more than a decade ago? The signal detected today came from that spaceship.”

"Joel said in a deep voice."

"That spaceship has been activated?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei's expression instantly turned serious. He knew what was inside the spaceship, but given the Kryptonians' advanced technology, he hadn't previously believed that anyone could forcibly open the spaceship.

"Yes, but don't worry, it's only activated temporarily."

After a while, it activated its self-protection mechanism and went back to sleep.
