I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

It's sizzling!

The heat ray sliced ​​across the body of the mantis, instantly cutting it into three pieces.

Bang!

Zod knelt on one knee and slowly stood up.

Meanwhile, Usa and the others, separated from him by only a cage, were already dumbfounded.

"Stop spacing out and open the cage door for me."

Zod said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the bald man seemed to wake from a dream. He immediately ran over and opened the cage door for Zod.

Zod stepped out of the cage, and the bald man stood to the side, trembling and speechless.

The power Zod just displayed truly overturned the bald man's worldview and exceeded the limits of his imagination.

After all, everyone is just an ordinary Kryptonian. If you suddenly become Superman, everyone will be confused.

As Zod approached, Fiora asked first, "Was that... the power you gained after being exposed to the yellow sun?"

Zod nodded and said, "That's right. Although the process was very painful, the result was such a pleasant surprise."

“So…” Fiora asked, “Do all Kryptonians become this powerful after being exposed to yellow sunlight?”

“I think so, but we still need to do some basic research.” Zod waved his hand and called the bald man over, saying, “Bald man, I gained my power after being exposed to the yellow sunlight outside. I hope you can study the relationship between Kryptonians and yellow sunlight. I need to know if all Kryptonians can be enhanced under the exposure to the yellow sun.”

Upon hearing this, the bald man immediately thought of the ancient text about the yellow sun: "Understood, General. However... I may need your assistance in some research."

“Absolutely no problem!” Zod said. “If possible, I would like the research to begin now.”

"As ordered!"

As Zod and the bald man walked into the laboratory, Fiora and Usa exchanged a glance.

They both saw in each other's eyes a longing for this extraordinary power!

Usa wanted to gain power so he could better protect the children.

Furthermore, if their own children could also gain power from the yellow sun, they would definitely be more powerful than these Kryptonians who had lived most of their lives before being exposed to the yellow sun!

Fiora, on the other hand, has a natural desire for great power because of her warrior bloodline.

If I could draw power from the yellow sun like General Zod, I would be much more at ease on the battlefield!

Two days later, Zod and the bald man walked out of the laboratory.

At this moment, humanity still has not discovered these Kryptonian fleets anchored between Earth and the Moon.

In the central control room of the main ship, Zod activated the fleet's full-channel video broadcast.

Zod's face appeared simultaneously on all the displays in the battleship fleet.

Dressed in a Kryptonian military uniform, Zod said with a serious expression, "Hello everyone, I am Zod, and today I have an announcement to make."

Zod paused slightly before continuing, "Just two days ago, we discovered that the sun in this star system is different from the Krypton star system we had previously encountered."

"It's not red, it's yellow!"

"According to an ancient document from hundreds of thousands of years ago, Kryptonians could gain extremely powerful strength under the illumination of the yellow sun!"

"But we cannot confirm the authenticity of this matter, nor do we know whether it will cause any damage to our bodies."

"Just two days ago, I piloted a small spaceship, far enough away from the main fleet, and experienced what it was like to bask in the yellow sunlight all by myself."

"To be honest, that process was quite painful."

"I was in excruciating pain all over my body, as if I were being placed in a furnace."

"I'm having trouble breathing; it's as if my organs and lungs don't exist at all!"

"My eyes were bleeding, and I looked horribly disfigured; my eyeballs looked like they were about to explode."

"But....."

"When I finally got through it all, when all the discomfort and pain subsided, I truly gained unparalleled strength."

As he spoke, Zod picked up the Kryptonian weapons beside him and crumpled them into a lump of iron as if he were crumpling a piece of paper.

“This is just the smallest glimmer of power I’ve gained,” Zod said. “In the two days that followed, our chief scientist and I conducted many experiments and ultimately proved that Kryptonians do indeed undergo genetic mutations when exposed to yellow sunlight.”

While everyone watched the video in amazement, fantasizing that they could be like Zod.

Zod then changed the subject, saying, "However, research and experiments also show that not all Kryptonians are able to withstand the yellow solar radiation and ultimately be strengthened. For example, our chief scientist does not have the physique to withstand the yellow solar radiation."

"So, an hour later, everyone went to the medical room of their respective warships to undergo testing."

"After the test, Kryptonians who have the physical constitution to withstand the yellow sun will be sent to Earth in batches to undergo the yellow sun's modification."

"Finally, I wish you all the best!"

The signal was cut off. Zod leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling with a confident smile on his lips.

The hope of reviving Krypton's caverns seems to be within reach.

He believed that as long as there were more than ten Kryptonians in the fleet who could withstand the yellow sun's rays, he could completely conquer the planet within a day!

On each warship, tests were being conducted intensively.

People all hope to pass the test and become the chosen one who gains extraordinary powers.

Become a man like General Zod!

An hour later, the bald man came to Zod's side with the test data.

Zod looked at the test report and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a total of fourteen Kryptonians whose physiques were strong enough to withstand the yellow sun's radiation!

This included his wife, Usa, and his most trusted adjutant, Fiola.

Furthermore, the person who ranked last among the fourteen qualified candidates brought Zod both comfort and surprise.

This person was none other than Zod's son, Lorzod.

“He truly is my son.” Zod said with a smile, “Arrange for a landing as soon as possible, and have all those who can withstand the yellow sunlight undergo a baptism of yellow sunlight.”

"Yes, General." After saying that, the bald man left the central control room.

Fiora walked over and asked, "Why not just attack Earth and force that traitor from the El family to hand over the secret manual as soon as possible?"

Fiora did not ask Zod whether she had the constitution to withstand yellow sunlight.

She seemed to have already concluded that she absolutely deserved it.

Zod shook his head and said, "No, Fiora. We need to let our people gain energy from the yellow sun first before we can more securely conquer this planet and retrieve the Codex."

“But the technology here seems to be stuck in the ancient era, so it’s not a problem at all!” Fiora said.

In the past few days, the Kryptonian fleet has already begun surveillance operations on Earth. Through monitoring and comparison, they have discovered that Earth's technological level is quite low.

The only thing that could pose a threat to them was that thing known as the nuclear bomb.

“The technology on this planet is indeed nothing to worry about,” Zod said. “But the point is Karl-El, who has lived here for at least several decades. Similarly, he has basked in the yellow sunlight here for at least several decades!”

“You mean…” Fiora said thoughtfully.

Zod nodded and said, "That's right, the energy stored within him is far more terrifying than we imagined. And we need to create enough warriors on Earth who have absorbed the energy of the yellow sunlight before we can launch our final offensive!"

Upon hearing this, Fiora immediately understood Zod's meaning, and then bowed slightly, saying, "It was my oversight, General."

Zod looked at Earth and said, "Don't worry, this place will become our Krypton sooner or later!"

The Zod here is not like the one Depp remembers, who acted like a reckless brute, rashly invading Earth without knowing the details of Earth and Clark, and even directly declaring war on Earth's military.

The Zod here is more cautious and careful, and also more... difficult to deal with!

Deep in the forests of Kansas, USA.

Dozens of Kryptonian fleets landed silently. Thanks to their advanced stealth technology, the Kryptonian fleets did not attract the attention of any military organizations even after landing on Earth.

Even Bruce's satellites could detect any anomalies.

Soon, several Kryptonians in combat suits emerged from the hatch. Looking at the lush forest around them, they couldn't help but think of their home planet.

Following closely behind, fourteen Kryptonians wearing protective suits also emerged from the hatch.

They are the fourteen chosen ones who possess the constitution to withstand yellow sunlight.

The most eye-catching of them all was Lorzod, still an infant in swaddling clothes, wearing a mini protective suit, and held in Usa's arms.

Zod and the bald man were the last to step out of the hatch. Zod, dressed in a plain uniform, stood in stark contrast to the Kryptonians in their protective suits.

“General Zod, I think we can begin,” the bald man said.

Zod nodded slightly and said, "Then let's get started as soon as possible."

In a clearing somewhere in the dense forest, thirteen Kryptonians stood in a row, spaced dozens of meters apart.

Then, at Zod's command, they simultaneously removed their combat suits.

As their combat suits fell to the ground, they were left completely naked on Earth!

The yellow sun beat down on their skin, causing them excruciating pain all over their bodies, as if they were in hell.

The completely different atmospheric pressure and composition between Earth and Krypton make it impossible for them to breathe, as if they were underwater.

But soon, after a brief period of pain, their discomfort gradually subsided.

Instead, a seemingly relentless and endless force surged into every cell of the body.

"Is this... the power of yellow sunlight?"

A Kryptonian who had completed his evolution opened his eyes and looked around.

Dili is a Kryptonian with the genes of a perfect businessman. Before this, he was the financial manager of the Zod army and was also responsible for helping Zod earn military funds.

Around him, some people had also opened their eyes, while others were still trying to adapt to the Earth's environment.

Dili's eyes narrowed slowly, revealing a chilling killing intent in them.

"If I kill these Kryptonians who can also withstand the yellow sunlight, then I will become the only king here."

Dili glanced back at Zod, thinking to himself, "We both want to restore Krypton, so why can't I take Zod's place?"

Thinking of this, Dili slowly clenched his fist and began to gather all the strength in his body.

"This power...it's absolutely wonderful!"
