Scientific research is a very expensive thing, and the most expensive ones certainly include basic scientific research and cutting-edge scientific research. There is no doubt that the ratio of investment and return for these two kinds of research is quite disproportionate.
Basic science is almost a national-level strategic project. Few private entrepreneurs are willing to spend a lot of money in this area because basic science is slow to show results, and long-term investment is not necessarily much return.
And cutting-edge conceptual science is another money-burning hole. Because this kind of scientific investment can easily become a trap. Maybe after a successful investment, fame and fortune can be gained, and it can become an advanced technology that changes the world.
However, it was more likely that after investing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, they would end up with nothing. The scientists wouldn't find anything of value, and the investors' money would go down the drain, without even a ripple to be seen.
And what Peter Parker is studying now has more or less advantages in this regard. [Parker Factor] This is a discovery named by Peter Parker after himself.
The discovery is a bit tortuous. It starts with Norman Osborne's inhumane experiments.
Because of the Osborne family's genetic disease, Norman made a deal with the Devil to extend his life. He wanted to make a suitable genetic antidote in a limited time.
So the lives of hundreds or even thousands of people were pushed into the endless abyss by him. Peter still remembers watching the Osborne Group's inhumane experiments with Li Jie. Those innocent people who were tortured by the drug initially came to the Osborne Group for help. In the end, they became Norman's test subjects. (See the previous article for details)
In these experiments, because some information was stolen from the Osborne Group, Li Jie and Peter learned one thing. That is, Norman is very concerned about the key Mr. P, and Peter knows very well that Norman's so-called Mr. P refers to himself.
In the end, Norman died due to various reasons, but the genetic potion was successfully created through the sacrifice of countless lives. Harry was cured, and his physique has been improved. In terms of physical fitness alone, he has reached the peak of human beings, similar to Captain America.
However, it was built with the lives of countless people. Li Jie and Peter had agreed to keep this matter a secret. No one would mention it to Harry. If he knew that his life was exchanged with the lives of hundreds and thousands of people, would this sunny boy be able to accept it? It was hard to say.
However, Peter also kept an eye on him since then, mainly because he was a little curious about why Norman thought he was the key Mr. P. Was there something special about his body?
After becoming a Spider-man, Peter had been searching for similar answers. He was not a mutant, so how could he mutate so easily?
Also, what exactly did his parents do? The notes his father left him were the main basis for him to help Dr. Conner say the improved gene potion.
So, what secrets were hidden in his body? What did his parents not tell him? Peter Parker had a lot of doubts, but he couldn't simply talk to others.
Because it involved another friend's secret, and even the secret of his own life. This was a very private matter, even Li Jie and his uncle's family couldn't say it.
So the little spider began to secretly experiment, hoping to find out what was different in his body.
Formulas and sheets of paper filled the basement of his house. He had obtained the right to use the entire basement from Uncle Ben, and he needed a place to do some experiments.
As for the Spider-man's royalty income, except for the part that was donated to the foundation to help others, he only kept his own college expenses and a small amount of pocket money.
Most of the remaining money was invested in the purchase of various equipment. Peter told Uncle Ben that the equipment was old equipment eliminated by the Osborne Group, and it was free.
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars was a lot of money for the average family, but for scientific research, it was just a drop in the bucket. Even the equipment he bought was not very good.
This made Peter's research slow to make much progress. Apart from a better understanding of the special spider gene, he didn't get much useful information.
Until an accident in the Night Watchmen base.
Remember the symbiotic organism that Li Jie peeled off from the mask of The Green Devils left by Norman Osborn? It was locked in the laboratory in the Night Watchmen base by Li Jie, and was studied by the bionic bird Barbara (She was originally a trusted agent planted by the one-eyed Nick, and was currently under the jurisdiction of Frank).
Li Jie named the black symbiotic organism Venom. From the way it flowed like water and the way it bared its fangs and brandished its claws from time to time, it lived up to its name.
This symbiotic organism was a different kind of life form, it also needed to eat to survive. And its food was relatively special, it could absorb part of the radiation energy and store it as food.
So in order to make it convenient to raise and study it, Frank found some radioactive mineral stones. Every once in a while, he would feed Venom some radioactive minerals to ensure that it wouldn't die, but it couldn't be too strong.
At that time, Peter Parker was on duty in the base, and he fed Venom a small piece of radioactive ore.
But an accident happened. Venom, who was lying in the petri dish like a soft mud, suddenly became energetic when it met Peter.
The black venom flew to Peter, and it wanted to possess Peter.
"Damn it!" Peter cursed, and then quickly began to peel off the symbiotic venom that stuck to his body like asphalt.
Hum ~! The ultra-high frequency noise sounded, and Mike (former SAT member) holding a special audio player appeared behind Peter.
Hearing this special sound wave, Venom seemed to have met its natural enemy. Its black body turned into a painful face, and finally retreated from Peter's body like a tide.
This was Venom's biggest weakness discovered after studying it for so long. It was particularly resistant to sound waves of a certain frequency band. Mike pulled up Peter, who was almost possessed just now, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Peter checked his body and said, "There should be no problem."
Originally, there were no other problems with this matter, so Peter and Mike didn't talk about it to others.
But after Peter returned home, he found a black mark left on his uniform. It was the tissue left by Venom, and it seemed to have lost its activity.
And it was this piece of tissue that allowed Peter's stalled research to have a new development.
In the genetic experiment, he tried to fuse his genes with Venom's genes, and a super active factor was born.
This factor has a very high ability to imitate and learn, and it is extremely active.
What does a genetic factor with the ability to learn represent? Human learning ability is a very complicated process, from learning to speak, to learning to use tableware to eat, to recognizing words, and then to learning basic culture.
A person's life is a long learning process. We are learning about the environment around us all the time to enrich ourselves. This kind of learning is partly conscious, but most of the time it is unconscious.
For example, learning the mother tongue at the beginning, although part of it comes from the teachings of parents, it is more of a kind of influence.
Another example is unscrewing the lid of a mineral water bottle. There is no need to be taught. Many people may know how to open the lid of a mineral water bottle the first time they get it. This is because everyone has seen countless people do this, and this is a kind of subconscious learning.
Even the seemingly unconscious sitting and standing posture. All of this comes from subconscious learning.
But the knowledge in this world is vast, and many people can't be outstanding in a certain field even if they spend their whole life. There are only so many geniuses in the world.
But what if the genes in the body have an innate advantage in learning? If you have memorized ten to twenty percent of the content of a book when you unconsciously flip through it, then how much can you learn in your life?
This is one of the special characteristics of the Parker factor, and the other is the super activity of the Parker factor. What kind of changes will this activity bring to human genes? Super physical strength? Super strength? Or super recovery?
Peter doesn't know, because the field involved is not something he can reach. Because the objective conditions of his research equipment are right there, the modified laboratory in the basement can no longer meet his needs.
… …
In the reception room, Peter Parker used the front camera of his phone to look at his appearance. He felt that his Sanqi development model with hair gel seemed a little messy, and he wanted to fiddle with it. He also wanted to tidy up his collar.
Because the collar of his new shirt and suit was a little tight, he had just moved his head when the door of the reception room was pushed open. A beautiful woman with blonde hair said at the door, "Next, Peter Parker!"
Peter immediately packed up all the things he had just taken out and followed the woman. The beautiful woman led the way in front and said without looking back, "You only have three minutes, Mr. Parker. If you can't express your thoughts within the time limit, then you'll have to make an appointment for next time. "
Peter was a little confused. "What? Isn't it twenty minutes? I checked the Horizon Foundation's review criteria before, and the first preliminary interview review is twenty minutes! "
The blonde woman turned her head and smiled at him. "Because the person for today's review is Tony Stark!" As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed open the door of the office in front of her.
Although Peter Parker had met Iron Man Tony Stark in various places, this time was completely different. (Before, it was always Spider-man meeting Iron Man, or Iron Man meeting Spider-man.)
Tony was not Iron Man now, and Peter was not Spider-man. The man with a beautiful beard opposite him would be a difficulty for him this time.
When Peter just walked into the room, Tony had already pressed the countdown timer in front of him.
"You now have three minutes to state your ideas, young man." Tony said very seriously, "My time is very precious. If you don't have inventions or ideas that can change the world, you'd better leave now."
Peter was a little confused by Tony's words. Tony might seem very slippery sometimes, but when he was serious, the aura of the world's richest man and a scientist was shown. Peter was so suppressed that he almost couldn't speak.
"Two minutes and forty seconds, thirty-nine seconds, thirty-eight seconds." Tony was counting down for Peter. "Twenty seconds. If you have nothing to say, you can leave now, child."
Peter only now came to his senses. "Wait a minute, I have a discovery, a strange factor. I named it [Parker Factor]. It has a highly active ability to imitate and learn. I can only cultivate a small amount of this factor in the laboratory at the moment, but I want to know if this factor is universal in the world, and if it can open another window for humans! "
Tony looked at the timer. "One minute and fifteen seconds, fourteen seconds, thirteen seconds."
Peter began to speak faster. "I know there is a view among mutants, that is, mutants are the future of human evolution. Because of genes, because of all kinds of special abilities. But mutant genes have all kinds of uncertainties and are very unstable. "
"We all know that some mutants are very strong, some are very weak, and some can even be described as [Cruel Lifelong Disease]. Coupled with the uncontrollable eruption factor during the awakening of abilities, all of this is not good for our world. "
At this point, Peter suddenly became loud and began to dance. He no longer cared about his image. As a scientific geek, Peter had already fallen into his own world. "If, and I mean if. What if this new factor is more stable and can even integrate with genes? [Parker Factor] is extremely inclusive, then can we get inspiration for a new direction of evolution? "
Peter Parker was already immersed in it. "I have a friend (Li Jie) who said that our world will enter the era of the universe, and this time will not be too far back. The Horizon Foundation is researching the sociology of the universe and the politics of the universe, but why haven't they considered researching the biology of the universe? This is a big era. The times are changing, and life is changing. Why don't we follow the changes together? I need money, a lot of money, Mr. Tony. I need a new laboratory, I need enough experimental equipment. I need a lot, maybe tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of US dollars. "
When he said this, Peter Parker's cheeks were bright red, not because of shyness, but because his blood was surging with excitement. He was a young man, an 18-year-old young man, an 18-year-old young man whose mind was full of all kinds of tricks to change the world.
He stared at Tony and said, "You just asked if there was an invention that could change the world? Does mine count?! "
Tony glanced at the countdown timer in front of him and said indifferently, "You've exceeded the time limit by three minutes, son."
"Huh?" Peter was choked by Tony's words. "Then I'm very sorry, Mr. Stark." He thought that his speech had not moved Tony.
When Peter was about to go out, Tony called him from behind. "Wait, son, do you have time to have lunch with me?"
Peter heard that there was a chance.
Tony continued, "If you're free, come with me. I happen to have a friend who recently got a set of amazing kitchenware and is showing off his cooking. I think you'll like his cooking. "
Huh? Peter felt that he knew the person Tony was talking about. Meanwhile, Li Jie, who was picking out ingredients from all over the world with Lan in preparation for his first trip to another world to sell delicacies, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose. Is someone talking about my handsomeness behind my back again?
