Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 680 Photosynthetic Reaction
There are fewer than twenty Kryptonians left, and they may be at risk of genetic problems in their newborns, such as birth abnormalities, genetic defects, and various genetic diseases.

This is because in a very small population, genetic diversity can be limited, leading to genetic drift, which can lead to the loss of certain important gene functions and increase the risk of problems for newborns.

And where populations are sparse, the likelihood of inbreeding is greatly increased.

Inbreeding increases the risk of genetic diseases and genetic defects in offspring because similar gene combinations are more likely to lead to adverse genetic effects.

"It's okay, I can help you."

With Luther's ability, it was too easy to repair genetic defects, but he did not take the initiative. Instead, he provided them with a batch of drugs called "gene repair potions."

Once a newborn has a genetic defect, injection of this gene repair agent can directly repair the genetic defect.

The problem of possible genetic defects caused by less than twenty people reproducing a civilized race was thus solved.

"We want to protect the endangered species in the universe, and this gene repair agent was developed based on this need."

Luther said.

"And finally a combination of gene therapy and cell therapy, which combines the advantages of gene therapy (directly modifying DNA) and cell therapy (replacing damaged cells with healthy cells) to more comprehensively address genetic problems."

"That's part of the upfront investment, and these multifunctional gene-repair agents are very expensive."

"Strengthening the immune system, agents contain ingredients that strengthen an individual's immune system, helping the body fight off diseases caused by genetic defects."

But they have good brains and can memorize things by rote.

The Kryptonians don’t know what they have obtained yet, a multi-functional gene repair potion. This is a technology that countless civilizations dream of.

When Luther explained it, the people of Krypton had a headache. The main reason was that their scientific researchers were not omnipotent. They must not have genetics and genetics researchers. Otherwise, there would be no need to come all the way to find Karl Ai. Alright.

General Zod was shocked after hearing this. Is there such a thing?
"To put it bluntly, it is gene editing technology, such as the CRISPR-Cas9 system, which allows the precise location and modification of DNA sequences. Gene repair agents contain genes that can guide CRISPR-Cas9 or other similar systems to reach and repair specific mutations or defects. instruction."

"Agents carry molecules (such as antisense RNA) that inhibit the expression of harmful genes, providing healthy gene replacements to compensate for the function of the defective gene."

"Precision drug delivery, with a precise drug delivery system, can ensure that repair molecules or genetic instructions accurately reach the target cells or tissues."

Then they just have to work hard to have a baby.

"Also, the agents contain ingredients that promote cell regeneration and repair. These ingredients can accelerate the recovery or replacement of damaged cells, thereby indirectly solving genetic problems."

They could extract genes from Kryptonian corpses from other Kryptonian outposts for synthesis and in vitro fertilization.

And now Luther gave them a cart like Chinese cabbage.

"Also, by altering epigenetic marks such as chromatin structure or DNA methylation, agents can affect gene expression, thereby correcting genetic problems without changing the DNA sequence."

Luther said to General Zod and the others.

"I understand, Lord Inspector."

General Zod lowered his head and said. They are soft-mouthed and short-handed in taking advantage of others, not to mention that General Zod feels that they have nothing that Luther can covet. Isn't it just a civilization that has been exterminated, with less than twenty people left?

What is there that others can covet?
Therefore, General Zod became more determined that he must serve Luther.

Luther stood on the deck of the Kryptonian spacecraft, looking at the center of the Terra star system - the dazzling star.

This is a young yellow sun with bright rays. It is larger and younger than the earth's sun. The yellow sun it emits is extremely intense, like a burning flame, shining brightly in the universe.

General Zod and the others have completed modifying the planet's gravity.

However, when he and his men took off their heavy armor and were exposed to the strong sunlight of Terra Star, they felt unprecedented discomfort.

"what happened……"

General Zod's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of confusion and panic in his voice.

He felt as if his senses were infinitely amplified, the sounds around him became extremely clear, and every slight movement seemed to be roaring in his ears.

What's even more incredible is that his eyes seem to be able to see through everything, not just the surface of objects, but also his own flesh and blood, and even the clear bone structure under the flesh and blood of his hands.

"General!"

Fiora's voice rang in General Zod's ears, and she also felt this strong sensory change.

Her body lost its balance under this intense sensory impact and fell to the ground involuntarily.

Other Kryptonians also felt discomfort. They either covered their ears or closed their eyes tightly, trying to reduce this strong sensory stimulation.

According to the setting of the Kryptonians, the gravity of their planet is ten times that of the Earth.

In such a gravity environment, the bodies of Kryptonians have been fully exercised, and their muscles and bones are harder and stronger than those on Earth.

At the same time, their visual, auditory and other perceptual abilities are also extremely sharp and can capture subtle changes that ordinary people cannot detect.

What's even more amazing is that the Kryptonian human body has a special system similar to photosynthesis energy conversion. Such systems are able to convert external energy into their own power.

Under the red star of Krypton, they could only maintain basic life activities, but under the light of this yellow sun, they were able to absorb more energy and gain more power.

However, this power is not unlimited. To possess superhuman strength, Kryptonians need to constantly absorb and store energy.

The source of this energy is yellow stars like the sun. Under the light of the Terra Star, they felt unprecedented energy fluctuations, but at the same time they also felt tremendous pressure and challenges.

This was the first time that he witnessed, as a bystander, how Kryptonians reacted so amazingly to sunlight.

Sunlight, that warm and bright energy, fell on the Kryptonian's body like a golden ribbon. Their skin, under the sunlight, seemed to be coated with a faint golden glow.
