The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

"What is this?"

Li Zhen stood on top of a jar that resembled a gilded metal can, looking down.

Several spheres of black, unknown matter were merging and surging inside. Although he couldn't feel any heat, Li Zhen's hair stood on end without him even noticing.

"This is an atomic decomposition furnace, capable of decomposing all known matter in the universe. Even if Superman fell in, he would be instantly decomposed into nothingness."

Joe Elner's calm tone, identical to that of the AI ​​program, was completely at odds with the content he uttered.

Li Zhen quietly took a step back. Even if he could fly, theoretically there was no possibility of him slipping and falling.

"This thing is so dangerous, what's it for?"

"To render some harmful substances harmless, such as nuclear waste that still gives humanity a huge headache, or some gadgets that Lex Luthor, Superman's past adversary, often made."

Joe Al raised his hand and pulled out a form that resembled an electronic daily report, which recorded the various opponents and difficulties that Unjust Super had encountered before he turned evil.

Luther isn't even the biggest problem, because the bald guy occasionally remembers that he needs to live on Earth, so he doesn't always bring out props that could be highly harmful to the Earth's environment.

The more troublesome ones are some invaders from the universe.

Because of Superman's physical authority, most of his adversaries, aside from those dealing with Kryptonite, will devise unorthodox gadgets to counter him. And gadgets capable of harming Superman on a chemical or magical level often cause significant damage to Earth as well.

Superman couldn't just leave it there after the battle, so he collected it and brought it back to Fort Lonely.

If something can be disposed of harmlessly, then process it and store it.

If something is really difficult to handle, just throw it into this stove and let it dissipate.

Li Zhen finally understood.

"So this thing is actually a trash can?"

"That's one way to understand it."

Li Zhen squeezed her wrist, somewhat puzzled.

"But what if we could use this technology in weaponry..."

Before Li Zhen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Joe Al in a very serious manner.

"This technology is absolutely forbidden to be used as a weapon on Krypton, because once the radioactive elements inside are released, they could engulf the entire solar system in an instant."

Li Zhen and Joe Al stared at each other. "So you guys put this thing here as a trash can? Fine, I think I'll leave first. I don't need a trash can."

Joe Al wasn't without emotions; he was essentially a mental model of the deceased Joe Al. Seeing Li Zhen leave without looking back, he sighed inwardly.

It can only be said that some of Krypton's ideas simply cannot align with Li Zhen's thoughts.

What Joe Al showed Li Zhen were some "treasures" that were of considerable "forward-looking technological value" on Krypton in the past.

According to Kryptonian scientist Jor-El, some of these still-developing technologies may even lead the universe into a completely new stage of development.

But Li Zhen didn't like any of them.

He called the Phantom Space Launcher a portable troublesome prison, housing troublesome and dangerous individuals.

In Jor-El's view, however, the Phantom Space is a problematic storage chamber, as it not only seals away dangerous Kryptonian criminals from the past, but also some cosmic phenomena that even Krypton could not solve at the time.

When the time is right in the future, we can analyze and study it, and it may just become an important beacon for the development of the next stage of civilization.

This includes the trash can.

In Li Zhen's eyes, this thing was a very dangerous trash can, so he disliked it very much.

However, in Jor-El's eyes, it was only the fourth treasure he brought out to show Li Zhen. The atomic decomposition furnace was the only thing Kryptonian technology could currently achieve—a simple application of the dangerous elements inside.

In fact, Joe Al believes that the internal elements are related to the future research direction of "energy beyond infinite energy".

"Unfortunately, we don't have anything here that would meet your standards."

Joe Al stopped and spoke somewhat wistfully to Li Zhen's retreating figure.

"Is that so?"

Li Zhen felt that Superman's father's AI program was fooling him, but he had no proof.

What did we take him to see along the way?

The alien zoo houses a collection of extinct/endangered plants and animals from Earth and other planets rescued by Superman, including an entire Cretaceous living eclipse.

Resurrection Cloning Regeneration Chamber.

This thing was actually somewhat useful, or rather, before Li Zhen had been in the Lhasa Road pool and died so many times.

He can regenerate rapidly on his own now, and cloning technology is not worthwhile for Li Zhen.

Phantom Space transmitter and observer. Prisons and prison surveillance footage, that's it.

Finally, there's this trash can called an atomic decomposition furnace.

Li Zhen was not a greedy person, so he didn't ask directly where places like the super armory and the kryptonite collection room had gone.

I didn't even see the city in the bottle.

But seeing Joe Al's serious expression as he introduced those things, full of longing for the future development of civilization in the universe, Li Zhen felt that perhaps the two sides really did have some differences in their ideas.

These things that Joe Al considered treasures had no value to Lee Jung.

Even that trash can that he felt could instantly disintegrate, Li Zhen didn't want.

This thing is far too powerful; throwing it out is tantamount to annihilating yourself and everything in your entire galaxy region.

"It's alright, just think of it as visiting a corner of Krypton from the past, it's quite meaningful."

Li Zhen tried to comfort Joe El, though he himself didn't want to stay there any longer.

I have a feeling that there are still things I need to do.

Just as I pulled out my phone to check if I'd written anything in my notes that I'd forgotten, Joe El spoke up. "If you're going to tour, next up is a rare mineral collection room, filled with stones that don't exist on Earth..."

Joe Al didn't know what to say either. The program spun around for a while before he finally managed to say something.

"...Those stones are very interesting."

Stone?

Kryptonite?

Li Zhen's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He put his phone back in his pocket and rubbed his hands together, unable to contain his excitement.

"Then what are we waiting for? I like weird and unusual things."

Half an hour later, Li Zhen realized he was wrong.

Those stones are really just various alien minerals. Although they have some special functions, they might even create a bunch of strange superpowered beings if they fall to Earth.

But for Li Zhen, those stones, no matter how magical, were only limited in their magic.

So, just like browsing through tourist attractions in his previous life, he spent a long time picking and choosing, finally picking out a piece of milky-white alien mineral that gave him a very comfortable feeling, as smooth and warm as jade, and took it away as a souvenir. Of course, this wasn't a random choice; Li Zhen discovered that this stone had a strong capacity to support his divine power, and after being nurtured within him, it actually strengthened him slightly upon returning to his body.

Although this level of strength is less than one-tenth of what a believer who longs for peace could provide, it's better than nothing.

Joe Al emphasized to him that the stone had a very long history, seemingly trying to make Li Zhen understand its value.

"There is no stone in the universe that is not ancient. Even on the beach of Earth, if you step on a pebble, it may be hundreds of millions of years old."

Li Zhen waved her hand, indicating that she was not trying to fool her and that she was not uneducated.

"This is not a concept—wait, my reset time has arrived."

Joe Al seems to want to argue, but ultimately it is just an AI.

The algorithm does not allow Joe El to have too many personal emotions. As the swaying projection flickered, the AI ​​Joe El was directly refreshed by the program preset by the real Joe El before his death.

"So you're interested in these things. I think I understand now."

After the refresh, Joe El finally understood "Chastity" and brought Li Zhen to the Kryptonite Collection Room.
