Red Sun is just an official descriptive term.
In Zhang Ye's memory, the Red Sun existed in Superman's home planet, Krypton. It was a giant star emitting red light, under whose irradiation the Kryptonians' physique was almost no different from that of a normal human.
So why do Kryptonians, after coming to Earth, become Supermen who are invulnerable, have Cyclops's laser eyes, and can even awaken biological stances?
This has to be explained from the Kryptonian physique. Kryptonians are a race born with superpowers. This can be seen from the legend of the Kryptonian god EAO. However, unlike other superhumans, Kryptonians' superpowers evolve based on the radiation of stars.
In other words, when they are irradiated by stars with super energy, this radiation is absorbed by their bodies and immediately converted into powerful energy, which is supplied to the superpowers carried in their genes, and the superpowers they already possess are stimulated.
But somewhat tragically, in the galaxy where Krypton is located, their planet's sun is the Red Sun. This is a star that has reached its twilight years, and its mass is much larger than other stars. Whether it is a red giant or a red supergiant, what is known is that it itself does not have much energy left.
And how can a sun that is about to reach the end of its 'life' provide energy to the people of Krypton? Therefore, under the radiation of the Red Sun, including the Kryptonians, the entire Krypton was affected by this radiation and became a planet without a race of superpowered beings.
Not only that, after absorbing years of radiation, Krypton itself also carried some of the Red Sun's radiation. Therefore, the so-called 'Kryptonite' scattered all over the place after Krypton's destruction is, in essence, nothing more than matter carrying the Red Sun's radiation.
On the other side of the universe, the sun in Earth's Solar System is a main-sequence star of the yellow dwarf category. Although it was born a long time ago, compared to other stars, this Yellow Sun can be described as being 'in its prime'. The energy it emits is very huge.
Unlike the Earth creatures who have been irradiated by this energy from the beginning, when the Kryptonians come here, these radiations with huge energy will instantly stimulate the superpower genes in their bodies and gradually awaken according to the sequence, allowing them to obtain the power originally possessed in their genes.
And this is the reason why Kryptonians become so-called 'Supermen' on Earth. As for their fear of Kryptonite, it is just that they cannot withstand the radiation of the Red Sun, because the radiation of the Red Sun will briefly cover the radiation of the Yellow Sun, causing their strengthened bodies to return to a state of no energy.
But Zhang Ye still remembers in their memory that Superman has several records of resisting Kryptonite in the comics. Although this is related to Superman's own origin and the Kryptonian god EAO, it has to be said that the Red Sun can only be regarded as a means against Kryptonians, but cannot be regarded as a sure kill.
In the eyes of most people, the Red Sun and the Yellow Sun are more like the switches of Superman's superpowers. However, Zhang Ye knows that in addition to these two types of stars, blue suns, neutron stars, and even quasars and other celestial bodies carrying huge amounts of radiation can bring great enhancements to Kryptonians, making them almost without weaknesses.
But that is only in the description of some comics. Zhang Ye is not sure whether these can really be used as their future judgment of Kryptonians. After all, in different universes, the physique of Kryptonians is also different. For example, some Kryptonians will lose their superpowers when irradiated by the Yellow Sun, and so on.
This is also what Zhang Ye is more worried about, because they cannot guarantee that all their judgments are correct, and the best way to solve the current matter is to try it out in person as much as possible.
"32,597 stars with the code name 'Red Sun' that meet your description have been detected. Do you need me to help you perform a more detailed detection?" Miss Minutes's detection this time took a long time, but she did detect results that satisfied Zhang Ye.
"Continue with the detailed classification. I need to find a planet under the radiation of the Red Sun, and the mass, gravity, climate, and even temperature and ecology of this planet must be similar to Earth." Zhang Ye said quickly.
Although in various film and television works, it seems that each planet is similar, but in fact, each planet is a completely different individual, and Zhang Ye themselves is just an ordinary human. Rashly going to an unknown planet will only lead to death.
If the ecosystem there is slightly different from that of Earth, then the air there may be 'toxic' to Zhang Ye.
Waiting quietly, Zhang Ye thought that Miss Minutes's detection this time would take longer, but in fact, it only took a few minutes for Miss Minutes to give dozens of options.
This may also be the power of the Time Twister. Its traversal function allows Zhang Ye to go to any point in time from the birth of that universe. In that incalculable time, there are too many planets that meet Zhang Ye's requirements.
If Zhang Ye hadn't stipulated that it must be 'closest' to Earth, Miss Minutes could have said hundreds more planets that meet the requirements.
In the end, under Zhang Ye's selection, a planet with a land coverage area of two-thirds of the entire planet became the best choice. Zhang Ye chose it not because of anything else, but because they thought its planet shape was quite pleasing to the eye.
Very suitable as General Zod's tomb.
"Do you want to mark the target node to facilitate space jumps?"
"Yes." Zhang Ye nodded.
Miss Minutes said again. "Do you want to name it?"
"Name it?" Zhang Ye paused, looking at the huge database, Zhang Ye suddenly realized that they should indeed name them and classify them, so that it would be easier to query in the future.
So, after thinking about it, Zhang Ye said. "Name the code name of the previous universe the Ruined Universe, and name the target node just detected Zod's Tomb."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ye thought of something else and continued. "In addition, change the code name of my current universe to Flashpoint-1 Universe, and record my current time node as World Engine."
"Okay, [Ruined Universe] and [Flashpoint-1 Universe] have been named, and all records are being integrated. Do you need to perform a space jump now?" Miss Minutes's tone seemed a little impatient.
Zhang Ye shook their head when they heard this. "Wait a minute, now... you have to send me back first."
"Okay."
As Miss Minutes's voice fell, Zhang Ye suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. They only had time to look back at the Morningstar Giant that was still being polluted and corroded, as if to remember it deeply in their mind.
The next moment, Zhang Ye's body trembled violently, and the surrounding environment returned to the Batcave.
