"Peter, why don't you leave? Don't you need to keep an eye on the project?!"
Peter's eyes widened: "Uh, Mr. Erwin, where are the synthetic mutant spider silk fluid and the spider silk launcher? Didn't you say you wanted to give them to me before?"
"What I said is, I will give it to you as a project reward." Leo smiled and said, "How is your project going?"
"The project...the project is progressing well. A mechanical prosthesis that can be promoted for commercial use is almost ready."
"Peter, you are still not as fast as me! In just a few days, I have developed a method for synthesizing spider silk liquid. Your mechanical prosthetic limb project has not been successful yet. You need to work harder!"
Leo touched his chin and said,
"You should go back and continue to focus on the project. When your project is completed, I will give you the spider silk liquid and spider silk launcher as project rewards.
If you are afraid that your body will be hollowed out again, go out less these days, shoot less spider silk, and reserve more energy for work."
"Oh, okay!"
Peter was a little frustrated when his expectations failed.
"I will finish the project quickly."
After saying that, Peter walked dejectedly to the stairs next to the training ground, preparing to go back to work.
No?! Peter, don't you insist on it symbolically? You express your determination, brag, and make guarantees. I happily hand over the things to you and give you a few words of encouragement, which fully reflects the mutual respect between employees and bosses.
Trust and enhance employees' work enthusiasm.
What's the matter with you just giving up?!
Leo suddenly felt that teasing Peter was a bit inexplicable, even a bit silly, and he did not get the happiness he expected at all.
Peter was so honest, he listened to whatever Leo said.
It seems that you really shouldn’t “tease honest people”, because you will cause internal injuries to yourself.
Therefore, Leo felt that he should speak frankly.
"Peter, I was joking with you just now. I have already made the spider silk liquid and spider silk launcher. You can go to the laboratory with me to get them."
"Really? That's great!"
Peter didn't mind at all what Leo had teased him just now, and his originally depressed face was filled with anticipation.
…
Many people in the company knew that Leo had built a private laboratory on the basement floor of the El Building.
But the so-called private place means that no one other than Leo has ever entered it, so it has always remained mysterious.
Today, the laboratory finally welcomed its first visitor, Peter Parker.
As the behind-the-scenes controller of the entire El Building, Stim naturally knows every employee in El Technology Company.
"Buzz! Good afternoon, Master. Good afternoon, Mr. Parker."
Stim's clear voice echoed throughout the laboratory, making it impossible to tell where the sound came from.
"Who?! Who's talking?"
Before Leo could say hello to Stim, Peter looked around in surprise, because from the perspective of his spider sense, Peter only felt Leo and himself as two living people.
Leo pointed to the motionless crawler robot pretending to be dead on the right side of the laboratory door, and introduced to Peter:
"That's the one who spoke just now. His name is Stim. He's an intelligent robot that I built."
Stim then started to move, the long mechanical probe swayed, and the two multifunctional mechanical arms swung back and forth, as if greeting Leo with gestures.
"Um, good afternoon to you too, Mr. Stim! My name is Peter Parker, nice to meet you."
Peter waved to Stim, who nodded to Peter, then buzzed on the track and ran to a corner of the laboratory, playing with the two multi-functional robotic arms that Leo had just installed on it two days ago.
A pile of blocks stood up.
"Peter, come over here."
At this time, Leo had already walked to a multi-grid iron shelf, and when he saw Peter still staying at the door, staring at Stim from a distance, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Peter approached Leo and turned to look around the laboratory:
"Mr. Erwin, your laboratory is so high-end. It is more high-end than every professor's laboratory at New York University. I have never seen such a mechanical laboratory."
"I'm different from them. Their research topics are single and targeted, and only require specific instruments. My research is messy, and there is a little bit of everything in the laboratory, so you feel fresh."
Leo took out a bottle of liquid from a compartment in the middle of the iron shelf and handed it to Peter,
"This is the spider silk liquid I synthesized. Normally, this thing is liquid and has no activity. When using it, first activate its activity with a transient high temperature of 89 degrees Celsius, and then when it encounters air, it will solidify into mutated spider silk."
Peter opened the bottle cap, looked into the bottle with one eye closed, and then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. It was colorless and odorless.
"Stim, go get the web launcher."
"Buzz! Okay."
Stim's body was busy in the pile of building blocks, and his tracks were running wildly. He quickly ran to a table in the back of the laboratory, and ran in front of Leo with two things that looked like wrist guards.
Snap!
Stim threw the two web launchers into Leo's outstretched palm, and then ran back to the pile of blocks in a hurry.
"This is the spider silk launcher I made. The spider silk liquid stored in each launcher is enough to launch two hundred rounds of ordinary spider silk. Two of them are four hundred rounds, which should be enough for you."
Leo handed Peter a spider silk launcher and showed Peter how to use it using the one he kept in his hand.
Peter fumbled around and successfully shot a spider silk against the wall.
"Spider silk launchers are powered by micro high-compression batteries. One battery can be used for several days. Anyway, you are familiar with micro high-compression batteries. You can recharge them yourself when they run out of power."
Leo handed another spider silk launcher to Peter, turned around and took out a small book from the side of the grid where the spider silk fluid was placed.
"Here's how to make spider silk liquid. Take it back and figure it out yourself. It shouldn't be difficult to make it."
Seeing Peter flipping through the pamphlet, Leo said again:
"Don't rush to read it now. You can read it when you go back. Also, the project reward I promised you has been given to you in advance. Next, you have to work hard and complete the project as soon as possible. By then, if you perform well,
If so, I might even consider giving you a promotion and a salary increase."
"Thank you Mr. Erwin, I will definitely work hard."
Peter looked happy and stuffed the pamphlet into his pocket.
The spider silk liquid and spider silk launcher were promised to Peter by Leo a long time ago, and the possibility of promotion and salary increase came from Peter's serious efforts, which Peter deserved.
In addition, Peter also had another thing he deserved, which was the ventilated leather hood that Leo had promised him before.
"Stim, stop playing now, come here and help Peter measure the size of his head."
Stim ran over again in a hurry. Under Peter's surprised gaze, Stim swept Peter's head with his long probe.
"Buzz! The dimensions of the project 'Spider Helmet' have been obtained."
"Peter, I'm quite busy recently. It will take some time to make this helmet. Please be patient."
After Leo explained something, he was ready to see off the guests.
"I have nothing else to do here. You can go back and continue working."
Peter thanked him again, walked to the door of the laboratory, and prepared to leave.
"Buzz! Goodbye, Mr. Parker."
"Uh, bye, Mr. Stim."
…
After Peter left, Leo finally had time to summarize what he had learned from the competition with Bucky just now.
No matter what tricks Leo used, he was able to defeat Bucky in the end! This marks that even if the era of gods and demons in the Marvel world comes, Leo has the ability to protect himself.
With the power of self-preservation, Leo can finally start planning for the next stage.
For example, the plan to collect infinite gems can already be put on the agenda. So, which gem should be the easiest to find first?
