Chapter 663: The Story of Spiders Knotting Webs (Part 2)
"Look at the good things you've done! It's all because you told Peter about how to build nets. Now he's all over New York, weaving nets all over New York. He can weave three nets a day. Even the cleaning company can't keep up with his speed!"
"I want him to understand the importance of social engineering, not to build a network on the physical level!"
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Stark Tower laboratory, Stark and Schiller were arguing non-stop. Stark waved his arms and said loudly: "You know he is a stupid boy! And you still tell him such profound things?
Don’t you know he’ll understand all the difference?!”
"Do you think, with Peter's intelligence, he might interpret what I said as spinning webs all over New York? Rather, why don't you and Connors find something for Peter to do? What are your research projects?
?" Schiller retorted.
Connors, who was innocently implicated, held up a document and said: "In fact, he did not delay his research. He only used half the usual time to complete everything, and then left free time.
Going out to weave a web for himself, I have to say that as a spider, he is quite diligent."
"But he is a human!" Stark said in a louder voice: "Spider-Man is not a spider, he is a human! Even if he is a spider, he can't weave three spider webs over New York every day! He has considered arachnophobia.
How do people feel?"
Schiller raised his head, looked at the spider web not far away, and said: "Don't tell me, this web is quite beautiful. If my sanatorium didn't have enough space, I would like to get one back for decoration...
"
As soon as he finished saying this, the phone woke up. After he picked up the phone, he said: "Hello? Ultron?... Oh, yes, I'm in Stark Tower, what's wrong?"
"What??? There are spider webs over the sanatorium. Guests complained that our sanitary conditions are not up to standard and they want a refund?!
Just wait! I'll go back right away!
"
Schiller hung up the phone, dispersed into a cloud of gray mist, and flew directly back to Arkham Sanatorium. Stark followed behind in his suit. When he arrived at the place, he burst out laughing.
The suburbs of New York are not like the city center. There are not so many high-rise buildings here. One problem with using shorter houses as fulcrums to build spider webs is that the collapsed parts in the middle may stick everywhere.
Looking at the messy nursing home, Schiller took a deep breath. However, it was not over yet. Soon, he received another call. Nick said to Schiller on the phone: "Can you take care of that spider?"
Boy? The maintenance fee of the Space Carrier is already very expensive. Is he leaving spider webs everywhere here because he is afraid that the employees responsible for cleaning will not ask for a salary increase? "
"This is the only good thing he did!" Schiller said angrily. After he hung up the phone and was about to return to downtown New York to find Peter, Captain America jumped down from the roof and came to the table.
In front of Le, he said: "What's going on? What's wrong with Peter? I read news reports that he was weaving nets everywhere in New York, seriously affecting the appearance of the city, and the police station was dispatched..."
Stark touched his chin and said: "Peter's abnormalities don't stop there. Since he was about to graduate from high school, he has become extremely excited. Jarvis originally left several doors for him on the glass curtain wall of the Stark Tower.
But he would break the glass every time..."
"Today, he ran back and forth in my laboratory for five or six hours without any intention of stopping."
Steve added: "I just saw on the news that just an hour ago, he defeated a group of bank robbers, helped a homeless man move, and helped a snack vendor repair his house.
The car even towed a car that was occupying the fire escape two blocks away..."
Stark covered his forehead and said: "He is not driven by a reactor. Is he really not tired?"
"There are several possibilities for the behavior to suddenly become excited..." Schiller stood on the spot, folding his arms, and speculated: "The first is because of mental excitement. Overactive brain activity may cause humans to exhibit various behaviors.
All kinds of hyperactive behaviors, but in the absence of mental illness, this kind of mental hyperactivity is still subject to the limitations of physiological activities. After the hyperactive state passes, you will feel extra tired."
"The average person will not be in a state of high spirits for more than 6 to 10 hours. If the time is longer, it may harm the body. After that, the self-protection function of the brain will make them feel very tired and go to rest immediately.
"
"Peter's mental and physical strength is higher than that of ordinary humans. So, assuming that it is four times the highest value, he should get out of this excited state in about two days, and within a short period of time.
Will get excited again."
"Come on." Stark raised his arm and said, "It's been almost two months since his high school graduation ceremony, and he's still like this."
"There is also a possibility that if you take drugs to stimulate the body, you can also achieve the same effect. If the dose of the drug is large enough, you can extend this time." Schiller said.
"But if it is extended, it can't be extended to almost two months, right? Besides, why does Peter take stimulants? Just to perform stunts over New York and create a lot of spider webs??" Steve was very confused.
said.
Suddenly, Stark recalled his conversation with Connors and the others in the laboratory. He said: "Peter was bitten by a spider. We still haven't figured out what the bite did to him.
Such an impact.”
"On the surface, his strength has become greater, his thinking has become more active, and he has a spider sense. So, will there be some other effects?"
"For example?" Schiller asked.
"Jarvis, help me retrieve information on spider habits and let me take a look...Wait a minute, it's August, right? Oh my god, look at this!"
Stark pressed the button on his arm, and a projection was thrown into the air. Schiller and Steve both stood beside him, looking at the projection, which read:
"Many spiders will breed during the hottest period of summer. Around August and September, male spiders will build webs in advance and engage in courtship, while female spiders will..."
The three of them looked at each other. Schiller and Steve both looked at Stark. Schiller said, "Don't tell me that Peter also has a courtship period like a spider?"
"But it's really similar, isn't it?" The more Stark talked, the more he felt that his deduction was correct. He said: "He will perform stunts over New York. This may be a kind of courtship dance, and...
He also started spinning webs over New York City, which may be a way for male spiders to show their mate advantage..."
Steve covered his forehead and said: "This is too ridiculous. He was just bitten by a spider. How could..."
Stark snorted coldly and said: "Peter is always on your side, but you have never cared about him. Haven't you ever observed some of his postures during fighting? It really looks like a spider.
.”
With that said, Stark pressed the button again and switched the projection. The projection in the sky began to play some scenes of Peter fighting. Some were scenes of him seeking justice in New York captured by surveillance equipment, and some were controlled by Peter and Stark.
The scene during the mecha sparring.
Now, Peter has completely gotten rid of his previous youthful fighting style. He no longer runs and jumps and shakes fists with the enemy. It can be seen that whether he is dodging or attacking, he is very methodical.
The only problem is that the fighting technique he uses does not belong to any known fighting technique classification in the world. It is more like creating a fighting technique of his own. He often lies on all fours with his body close to the ground, and then jumps high. Sometimes
It will also quietly climb on the enemy's head, jump down instantly, and strangle their necks.
Compared with human fighting skills, this looks more like a beast, or more like a spider.
"In the past two years, I have been recording his growth trajectory." Stark pressed the button on his arm again, and some pictures of Peter began to play on the screen. Stark continued: "In the beginning, Peter's strength and speed
It’s not that exaggerated yet, at most it’s about the same as you.”
Stark turned to look at Steve. Steve shrugged and did not deny it. Then, Stark said: "But as he gets closer and closer to adulthood, his speed, strength and reflexes
, started to become more and more exaggerated.”
"I have tested him with a mecha, but I have not tested the upper limit of his strength because the material of the mecha can no longer withstand it. In other words, at this stage, human materials science cannot create a material that can withstand him.
The material is made of physical strength, which is actually very terrifying."
"There is also reaction speed. Originally, this part should be the easiest to test the limit, but then I discovered that as long as his condition is good enough and his concentration is concentrated enough, his reaction can no longer be said to be a reaction, but more like a prediction.
.”
"How long in advance he can sense danger is completely impossible to test, because every test is setting new records. There is no doubt that although Peter's mind is growing, it is far from growing as fast as his physical strength."
Stark concluded.
"He is a good boy." Steve said with some emotion: "I have lived for so many years and among so many people I have met, he can definitely be called the best kind of good person. I believe he can use it.
Such power..."
"The question now is, where does this abnormality come from?" Schiller frowned and thought, and said: "I think we should not stimulate him first. When people are in an excited state, it is easy to develop attacks.
Sex, if Spider-Man really loses control, there will be trouble..."
"But if we don't let him cooperate with the physical examination, how can we figure out why he suddenly became so excited?" Stark asked.
"I think we can consult someone with experience in this field, for example..." As he said that, Schiller took out his mobile phone. After getting through, he said to the other person: "Dr. Connors, we have something to do with you...
"
Ten minutes later, Schiller Tucker and Steve appeared in front of Connors. Connors was still working on his paper. He said without raising his head: First of all, I have not been bitten by a lizard."
"But you are also an animal genetic modifier, wouldn't you..."
"I won't." Connors sighed, stood up and said, "The point of animal genetic modification experiments is to eliminate those parts that are not beneficial to humans and only absorb the advantages."
"For example, I will conduct lizard transformation experiments, actually because lizards have the ability to regenerate severed limbs, as you can see now..." Connors lifted up his sleeves, and Stark was surprised to find that his broken arm
It has grown into a very large length, and it looks completely the same as the original arm.
"Because I don't want the previous accident to happen again, I conducted the experiment more conservatively. If I had followed the most efficient method, I should have a complete arm by now." Connors' tone was very calm.
There are no fluctuations, but everyone knows what this means. Once the experiment is completely completed, humans will no longer be troubled by the disability of amputated limbs.
"If you can't eliminate those parts that are harmful to human beings, then the consequences will be the same as when I was out of control before. You will see a cold-blooded animal covered in scales, with no humanity, only bestiality. That is not what I want, so, I
Only then will we continue to improve.”
"That is to say, your mutation has been strictly selected and controlled." Stark understood what Connors meant, and he said: "This further supports my previous thoughts. Peter was completely bitten.
It's random and without any experimental control, so he may not have only inherited the good part of the spider's ability, but may also have inherited part of the animal nature."
"But don't you think that his animalistic state is a bit too mild?" Steve asked: "I remember you said before that when Connors transformed into a lizard man, he destroyed half of your building.
.”
"Is it possible that Peter was overly good and that the wildest thing in his mind might be to do stunts over New York and fill it with New York nets?" Schiller raised a point.
Stark and Steve looked at each other. They thought this was too ridiculous, but if they thought about it carefully, it was not impossible if it were applied to Peter.
"Well, it seems that Dr. Connors can't give us any advice, so let's ask the next one," Schiller said.
"Next? Who else?" Stark asked a little confused.
Ten minutes later, Natasha's angry roar echoed in SHIELD's base:
