I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Selena frowned and said, "There's something here, it seems to be the security equipment!"

As soon as Selena finished speaking, two security robots rushed over from the front.

Without hesitation, Depp unleashed a beam of heat from his eyes, shattering both security robots.

“Now that we’ve found our way here, I think we should get going,” Depp said.

Upon hearing this, Selena, out of professional ethics, said somewhat reluctantly, "Can't we just search this place properly and see if there's anything worth taking?"

Depp shook his head and said, "We can't take anything out of here except scrap metal. Everything here is locked, and Clark needs the key to unlock it."

Chapter 326 Joe El

"But...I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Selena said angrily.

As Gotham's most famous thief, Selena has an extraordinary obsession with never leaving empty-handed.

Just as the two were talking, four more intelligent defense robots attacked from their surroundings.

These robots bear some resemblance to the aliens in the movies, resembling steel insects.

Beneath its fan-shaped body, a thick iron tail bends forward.

They floated in mid-air and moved at a remarkable speed.

However, these intelligent defense robots were still no match for Depp and Selena Gomez.

Just as Depp was about to use the heat ray again to deal with the robots, Selena spoke up: "Stop, honey, you'll completely destroy these little things!"

After saying that, Selena's eyes lit up as if she had encountered some treasure, and she transformed into a blue phantom, rushing towards the robots.

"Bring it to you!"

Depp watched as Selena quickly pinned the intelligent defense robots to the ground and then wrapped them in her tentacles.

Finally, with a pop, all the tentacles turned into blue crystals, sealing the robots inside.

Selena, carrying four blue crystal lumps containing intelligent defense robots, walked up to Depp and said, "We can go home now. At least the trip wasn't in vain."

"As ordered."

Depp smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that the little wildcat must have been really bored during her time in Smallville.

The two of them carried the four blue crystal balls and leisurely returned home.

Depp was in a good mood. Hard work pays off, and he found the Kryptonian probe ship in just one afternoon.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep," Depp thought.

After watching a movie and having dinner at the Kent house, Jonathan took Clark to an abandoned warehouse on the farm.

In the center of the warehouse, amidst the overgrown weeds, a huge curtain covered something.

“What is this?” Clark asked.

Jonathan Kent used a rope to pull back the curtain, revealing what was hidden inside.

It was a small spaceship, like a giant, twisted bullet.

“This is where your mother and I found you. The key was right next to you,” Jonathan Kent said. “We know you come from the depths of the universe, and we will not stop you from finding your way home. But no matter what, your mother and I will always love you.”

“Because you are our son, Clark Kent.”

Clark gripped the key containing all of Krypton's technology and data tightly, and nodded with tears welling in his eyes.

"I will always love you all."

Jonathan Kent put his arm around his son's shoulder and said, "Alright, now it's time for us to go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember to eat your mother's breakfast before you leave."

"Then I want double portions tomorrow morning!"

Clark said with a smile.

Nothing happened that night, and both Depp and Clark slept soundly.

The next morning, Clark kept his promise and ate two breakfasts.

Furthermore, when she left home, she brought one for both Depp and Selena.

"I have to say, choosing to wear this plaid shirt and jeans today was absolutely a mistake. But for you... it doesn't really matter."

The Kryptonian probe is located on an Arctic ice glacier. If an ordinary person were wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, they would definitely freeze to death there.

However, since Clark was standing opposite him, Depp didn't care about anything else.

Depp chewed on the corn fritters and sandwiches made by Martha Kent and praised, "I must say, Mrs. Martha's breakfast is absolutely superb."

"That's true."

Selena pouted and said.

Depp, oblivious to the murderous glint in Selena's eyes, continued, "This reminds me of Alfred, the old butler at Wayne Manor. His cooking is mouthwatering."

Selena stuffed the whole corn fritter into her mouth, chewing it angrily, not wanting to say a word.

After breakfast, Depp kissed Selena's pouty little mouth, then said to Clark, "Clark, are you ready to find your own roots?"

Clark said firmly, "Of course, I'm fully prepared."

"Then... let's set off!"

After saying that, Depra grabbed Clark's arm and flew into the air.

Under the influence of the Speed ​​Force, Depp transported Clark to the Arctic glacier in just one second.

Facing the biting polar winds, Depp pointed to the layers of glaciers below and said, "Look down at Clark, the answer you're looking for is right down here."

Clark looked down, his eyes flashing slightly, activating his X-ray vision mode.

Soon, Clark saw the enormous probe ship buried beneath layers of glaciers.

“This is…my planet, Krypton’s spaceship?” Clark murmured.

Depp, carrying Clark, slowly descended and said, "That's right, this is a nearly complete Kryptonian probe. It landed on Earth tens of thousands of years ago, but I don't know why it landed here. Maybe it was for exploration, maybe for scientific research, maybe for future colonization. But whatever, this thing has been lying here for hundreds of centuries."

"How are we supposed to get in? Should we just dig a hole here?"

Clark crouched down, touched the ice beneath his feet, and a faint crimson light gathered in his eyes.

Depp held out his hand to block Clark's view and said, "Don't do that, Clark. Let these ice crystals exist for a few more years. Global warming is bad enough already."

Then, Depp pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "We can dive in from there; that's what I did before."

Upon hearing this, Clark said, "Global warming... Actually, I still have my Ice Breath."

“I know your ability to compress and liquefy air in your lungs, but we don’t need to drill holes in these ice shards, nor do we need to make another hole in this spaceship.”

With that, Depp pulled Clark to the edge of the glacier.

Then, the two of them jumped into the icy seawater with a splash.

Soon, Clark followed Depp to the front of the hole that had just been kicked open the day before.

Looking at the enormous probe, Clark's expression was similar to Selena's.

After all, unlike Depp, they haven't seen far too many of these massive spaceships in the Marvel universe.

Both Thanos's Sanctuary and Ronan's Dark Star were much larger than the current Kryptonian probes.

Depp even destroyed the Dark Star with a single blow.

“It’s huge.” Clark stroked the metal plates on the outside of the spaceship, carefully sensing the Kryptonian aura within them: “I seem to be able to feel the aura and smell of Krypton from it.”

"Come on!"

Depp was surprised that Clark, at his age, still had such a pretentious, artsy air about him, and immediately retorted, "It's been tens of thousands of years. Even if Kryptonians peed on it, it would have been washed away by seawater and ice long ago. What you can smell is mostly the fishy smell of the sea."

Upon hearing this, Clark immediately stepped back, glancing at Depp with lingering fear.

The young Superman's nascent intellectualism was instantly disgusted... no, cured by Depp.

"Can we go in now?" Clark asked cautiously.

It has to be said that during this period, Depp had already become Clark's elder brother, and even spiritual leader.

Even when he was close to uncovering the secret he longed for most, Clark still chose to consult Depp first.

Depp nodded and said, "Of course, this is your journey to the origins."

Upon entering the spaceship, Clark immediately spotted the two intelligent defense robots that Depp had pulverized.

"It looks like a battle has taken place here."

Clark said.

Depp said, "Yes, and it seems someone escaped from the ship."

Depp pointed to the open hibernation pod, then to the closed ones.

Clark looked through them one by one and found that, apart from the open hibernation pods, all the other hibernation pods contained Kryptonians who had long since died and been dried up.

These Kryptonians died without ever being exposed to the yellow sun.

Having not evolved, they do not possess the extraordinary physique of Clark, and after death, they lose the possibility of rebirth.

Seeing this, Clark remained silent, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

He eventually concluded that the Kryptonian who escaped from the hibernation pod must be Johnny Depp!

This is why Johnny Depp knew the location of the Kryptonian probe, and also why he was willing to help him.

Because he is likely the only Kryptonian still alive besides Johnny Depp.

The two continued on their way until they arrived at the main control room.

There, something stood out, like a control console, in the center.

The gap in the middle is exactly the same as the key Jonathan Kent gave to Clark yesterday.

Seeing this, Clark gently tugged at the black key hanging around his neck.

"Should I...insert this?" Clark looked at Depp.

Depp nodded: "It's pretty obvious, isn't it?"
