The Death Knell

"Are all Apokolips such stubborn people? He doesn't cooperate with us at all. What about the power problem?"

Kate bit her lip and changed the subject a little awkwardly, because she had poked a little harder when she was excited, and now the sharp tip of the black diamond was stained with a little red and yellow stuff.

She stared at the thickest part of the flesh and stabbed it, originally out of the good intention of not killing, but in the DC universe, if you just look at the results, the results of not killing will often appear dark or funny.

Seeing that Deathstroke seemed busy examining the Mediterranean man's body and didn't notice the black stone cone in her hand, she quickly rubbed the black stone cone against the wall nearby.

"Speaking of which, Apokolips also has a saying about the glory of warriors. No one has mentioned it for a long time, but I expected that the mad doctor refused to surrender."

Su Ming, who had his back to Batwoman, had just picked up the remote control that the doctor had held in his hand, turned it up and down, left and right, looked at it, and replied calmly:

"He is a member of Darkseid's elite. These people may have various weaknesses, but their loyalty to the dark tyrant is difficult to shake."

Because I don’t know how many years ago, guys who were not loyal enough were thrown into the fire pit and burned into light and heat, or simply fed to the war dog troops.

The number of people who betrayed Darkseid and still escaped Apokolips alive can be counted on one hand.

At this time, the adjutant had released everyone from the alien dimension again. The chaotic scene like a mirror space around them faded away, and everything returned to normal, except that Lorna was still holding a large wriggling mass of metal on her head.

The orangutan was also thrown back, but the adjutant gave him an ice cream to eat. At this time, the monkey head was smiling with crooked eyes.

"Is everything done? Is there a call from the earth?" He came over to ask with new foam at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly found Batwoman rubbing a black stone pyramid over there: "Kate, what are you doing? Isn't the black diamond enough? Is it sharp?”

"There's no Mad Doctor's body trapped in here. I'm teasing him, that's all." Batwoman took out the same poker face as her cousin, with only seriousness on her pale face: "We still pay attention It’s about electricity.”

As the symbiote host, Deathstroke clearly saw what Kate was doing, but he was too lazy to say it, as long as she could clean it up in the end.

After touching the gorilla detective's hat, the Supreme Mage put away his weapon and handed the remote control, which looked a bit like a biscuit tin box, to Bobo:

"Look at this. If you guessed it correctly, this is most likely a new 'father box'. It should be the culprit behind the current blocking."

This thing looks like a much thicker large mobile phone. The whole body is made of promethium metal, with various buttons and joysticks densely arranged on it. There is a hairy wire at the top, and the other end of the wire is connected to A small red ball that looks cartoony.

Su Ming recalled the information in his mind.

The Mother Box appeared in comics as early as 1971. Looking at it today, the earliest setting was a handheld computer or a smartphone?

You must know that in 1982, the world’s first home-oriented computer ‘Timex Private’ entered the market, and Apple’s personal console was even later.

Therefore, in the 1970s when comic editors created the Mother Box, this kind of portable technology terminal that could be held in your hand was considered a hard-core science fiction creation.

It’s just that times are progressing and technology is developing.

Decades have passed, and the setting of ‘a computer that can be held in your hand’ has become a bit ordinary after the advent of mobile phones.

So the editors opened their minds again, and the setting of the mother box became a computer with life and soul, and many new functions were added to it. These settings became more and more huge in the following days.

For example, the Apokolips and Creation Stars were moved to the 'God's Domain' level by the editor, and the Mother Box was allowed to open the sonic blast channel. This was the only way to reach those two planets in the early comics.

In addition, it can trace the source of energy like a water probe, change the gravitational constant of an area, and transfer certain energy from one place to another.

This is of great reference for the current situation of Su Ming and others.

In addition, the Mother Box can also be used to sense danger, life, souls, or creative fields and energy barriers. Can rearrange the molecular structure of matter, attracting or projecting powerful energy attacks.

Can create wireless data networks, control mechanical units through the network, or communicate psychically with other life forms.

Also, and the most important point for Cyborg is that the Mother Box provides a life-support function. If you no longer want to be a human, it can replace the human flesh and blood with promethium metal, making the holder immortal.

Finally, here is a life tip. The mother box likes to absorb heat as its own energy source, so if you want to escape the heat in the summer, you can hold it and experience the joy of cooling your heart. When there is no electricity, it can also be used as ice cubes to make wine. drink.

After understanding the mother box, it is easy to understand the father box. It is actually a special engineering machine that reduces some capabilities of the mother box and then exchanges them for other unique capabilities.

For example, cutting out the networking function in exchange for it being able to block sonic transmission. Or reduce the perception ability and let it specialize in modifying terrain and so on.

The New Gods believed that the father was stronger than the mother, so they gave it a name that would be slapped in the face. According to the nomenclature of the Earth with high emotional intelligence, it should be called Mother Box Plus.

There are more of them than Mother Boxes, because the New Creation Star has built many Father Boxes in order to fight against Apokolips.

Now there is a Father Box in the hands of the mad doctor. It is most likely a new model that can deal with electromagnetic fields. However, there are as many buttons on it as a TV remote control, and there are no symbols for people to easily identify the functions. Su Ming thinks that he is probably I can't figure this thing out.

"Here, Bobo, think about it, how to use this thing?"

At the critical moment, it still depends on the orc's talent, and let the little gorilla try to figure out how to use it.

The orangutan didn't hesitate. He held the ice cream in one hand and took the father's box with the other. He looked up and down with his eyes and then knocked it on the sole of his foot a few times.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, he raised his eyebrows:

"Let me think about it, these buttons should be pressed at the same time. I have never seen a parent box of this style, but it feels like it should be designed with a combination of keys."

“Is this an alien’s mobile phone?”

Lorna levitated the liquid metal to the side and looked at Bobo curiously.

"You can understand it this way, because the higher the technology content, the better the human-computer interaction is, and the more convenient it is to use."

As the orangutan said this, his furry paws began to wrap around the numb prop in his hand, rubbing the buttons on it without even looking at it, and said:

"I'm just an orangutan, and I don't understand any alien high-tech, but I can probably use it after just exploring for a while, probably."
