MTL - As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland-Chapter 52

It's a little weird, but it's not an unattainable future.

Chapter 79 Nicodemus Flower

"Ms. Cassandra died?"

Martha put down the vacuum cleaner in her hand and asked her husband in surprise.

"Yes, a surprising sounding news."

After feeding the livestock, Jonathan was washing his hands and said to his wife: "Although she can see the future of others, she can't see her own. I don't know if it's unfortunate or sad."

Martha didn't speak anymore, but there was a hint of sadness on her face.

......

On the other side, Eric received a call.

"Dr. Hamilton, I thought you were going to stick to the business of selling plastic meteorites."

Eric said to Dr. Hamilton on the other end of the phone.

"People always change, just like the quality that cannot be adhered to in scientific research is stubbornness."

The doctor's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is the promise you made before still accurate?"

"You mean funding your research? Of course, at any time."

"Very well, then you'd better come to my laboratory, I have something to show you."

Eric moved his eyebrows, "Lab? You mean your warehouse?"

Dr. Hamilton on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."

After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

It seems that he is a little dissatisfied with Eric's teasing.

After half an hour.

"I have commissioned the acquisition of labs and equipment at the Metropolis. If you want to return to the Metropolis, you can always."

In Hamilton's warehouse, Eric said to the other party.

"No, I don't think it's necessary right now."

Hamilton casually put a piece of meteorite he had just collected on the experimental table, "I still think this town is suitable for me. If you agree, you can give me a sum of money to buy equipment, Boss."

Hamilton shrugged and called Eric "Boss" in a playful tone.

Eric didn't care about the other party's tone, nodded, "Yes."

Said and looked at a strange flower in a laboratory glass petri dish, "You still cultivate plants?"

"The Nicodemus flower, an eighteenth-century plant, is now extinct."

Hamilton walked to the petri dish, stared at the Nicodemus flower and said, "Before the 18th century, this was a pioneering land, and the Nicodemus was also called the 'devil flower' by the locals, and no one dared to step on the place where it grew. Half way further. Anyone who inhales a little pollen goes bloodthirsty."

"Later the local armed forces set fire to this kind of thing. Maybe it was affected by a meteorite here. I found this extinct flower and cultivated it."

Eric nodded when he heard the words and looked at the glass cabinet.

"Zi!"

The originally motionless "Devil Flower" suddenly turned around and spewed a cloud of gas at Eric.

But because of the glass, the gas is only sprayed on the glass, leaving a cloud of white mist.

"Doctor, you won't let me come over and show me this kind of devil flower?"

"of course not."

Hamilton walked to the corner safe, took out an octagonal metal from it, and handed it to Eric.

The moment Eric took the octagonal metal sheet, he was stunned.

"what is this?"

The moment he touched it, he recognized that it belonged to the material of the spaceship under his own barn.

Although a little shocked, he quickly hid the expression on his face.

"I can only tell you, it's not 'what'."

"I don't like to beat around the bush, Doctor."

"Hmm, then this stuff will give you more headaches."

Hamilton paused and said: "This alloy, there is no material that makes up it on earth, it looks full of weird and incomprehensible."

"Where did you find this thing?"

Eric asked him.

"On the farm near your home, but Eric, believe me, I fully respect the privacy of your home. It's just on the periphery of the farm, not inside the farm."

Hamilton replied to Eric.

"Don't go any closer to Kent Farm, Hamilton, this is my first warning."

After Eric put away the octagonal metal sheet, he warned the other party.

"You are the boss now, you have the final say."

Hamilton angrily handed the things in his hand to Eric, then turned and left.

"there's one more thing."

Eric stopped him and took out a clear plastic bag from his pocket.

There are many ruby ​​rings in the plastic bag, which is also the main culprit for Clark's personality change.

"Um......"

After seeing the ruby ​​ring in Eric's hand, Hamilton's eyes narrowed.

"Graduation rings using space meteorites instead of rubies?!"

"have you seen?"

Eric asked him in surprise.

"I've heard of it. I sell plastic fake meteorites to tourists, and schools sell meteorite rings to students as rubies. We're all in the same business."

After Hamilton took the ring from Eric, put on heavy glasses and looked at it for a while, then walked to the shelf and took out a red meteorite wrapped in limestone.

"The meteorite found near the Hobbs Lake has the characteristics of dark red throughout. It is a very special glass-like substance without crystals. Of course, it is not as fragile as ordinary glass."

Handing the red meteorite to Eric, Hamilton explained: "I excavated it from near Hobbs Lake. There is a crater 17 meters deep and 124 meters in diameter. If it is not flooded by the lake, I believe the bottom of the crater will be Discover more."

"Red meteorites, like green meteorites, change the structure of human cells?"

Eric asked the doctor.

"Not sure yet, I don't have much research on this meteorite."

Hamilton shook his head.

"Then I think you can put the plan to study red meteorites on the agenda."

Eric looked at the meteorite, feeling the coolness emanating from it, and said to the other party.

Returning to the farm from the Hamilton warehouse, Eric just opened the door when he saw half of Jonathan's body exposed, leaning back in the sink.

After seeing Eric come in, he motioned Eric to hand him the wrench.

"Need me to help you weld the pipes, Dad?"

"No, thank you."

After taking the hose from Eric, Jonathan refuses his help.

"You know, if I rely too much on you, my movements will gradually become very slow."

Then he showed Eric the washer in his hand, "You won't believe that the superpower you have now is not as effective as a copper washer."

Looking at the copper washer in his father's hand, Eric smiled slightly.

"Where's the mother?"

Without seeing Martha, Eric asked Jonathan.

"Was here just now, maybe out picking up the artichoke wood."

Jonathan said casually.

Eric nodded and walked to the courtyard. He didn't find his mother, but found a strange sound in the barn that had been closed.

Chapter 80 Is this the price?

"mom?"

In the originally closed barn, Eric saw his mother, Martha, standing in front of the cellar, with her arms folded, and her brows furrowed as she stared at the bottom of the cellar, as if thinking about something.

Martha was startled when she heard the sound, turned her head and found that it was Eric who breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did something happen?"

Eric glanced at the spaceship in the cellar through perspective and asked his mother.

"No...nothing, just like to stop by recently. You know, this place has a lot of meaning for you and Clark, and for me and Jonathan. Sometimes, I think... "

"Will you leave me one day? After all, you and Clark came on this spaceship."

Martha smiled, but the smile was a bit bitter.

"Will not."

Eric came over and put his arms around his mother's shoulders, "It's never going to happen, I'm not leaving you, neither will Clark."

Although I didn't understand why my mother suddenly became so pessimistic, she still comforted her in a low voice.

"But things are always changing and we can't see the future."

Martha shook her head, "It's like the conflict between your father and Clark, although that was because Clark's character was changed by the red meteorite, but it also shows that you are growing up."

"Your father was always tough on you, maybe you and Clark would criticize him for being controlling and narrow-minded, but don't forget that your father was deep too."

Eric was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then replied: "I will, so... Mother, what happened?"

Martha hesitated, and looked at the place where the cellar entrance was closed.

"A few days ago, you didn't come back from Gotham. I woke up one night and noticed that there was movement in the barn, so I got up and came over to check."

"Is it the movement from the spaceship?"

Eric frowned and asked his mother.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened to it. When I opened the door and came in, I found a light coming from the sealed cellar, so I pulled the pulley to open the cellar. The ship shook and gave off a strange green light. It looks like it's calling out for you and Clark."

Martha finished telling her previous experience and looked at Eric with a complicated expression, "That's why I'm worried, I'm worried about losing you and Clark, you will eventually grow and mature, and then choose your own path. Maybe at that time you I will leave us in a spaceship, I am afraid of losing you, really afraid."

"I know what path I'll take, and it won't be the path you fear, Mom."

After comforting his mother in a low voice, he asked her, "Did you tell Dad about this?"

"Not yet. At that time he was worried about Clark's rebellion. I didn't want him to worry more, so I didn't tell him."

"so......"

Eric pondered for a while and said nothing.

Reaching his right hand into his pocket, he grasped the octagonal piece of metal he had just obtained from Dr. Hamilton.

This octagonal piece of metal should be part of the spaceship.

Just don't know if it's pure metal fragments, or some kind of key or key device to open the spacecraft?

......

Neil's farm, Lana is trotting around the farm on a pony.

After running two laps, ready to take a break, he glanced at Clark by the fence.

Clark, who had one hand in his pocket and several lotus flowers in the other, greeted her when he saw Lana riding a pony over.

"Hey, Lana! Nell told me you like horseback riding, so I came over, it's really beautiful here."

He took out his hand from his pocket, and Clark, who held the lotus in both hands, said cautiously:
