Chapter 229 - Haibolun Machinery

"Oh my god, where do these monsters come from?"

Little Spider Peter nimbly twirled through the city, continuously casting out strands of spider silk. When he stopped at a tall building window, white cocoons of spider silk had already appeared behind him. These cocoons hung in the cracks between the tall buildings, crisscrossing each other like bells dangling from a giant web.

Of course, the creature inside will not surrender obediently, but will struggle hard in the cocoon. To outsiders, it looks like a creature swaying left and right on the Internet, trying to break out of the cocoon.

But Spider-Man is no longer the same. His girlfriend, Gwen, a key intern in the Hebron Biology Department, is often exposed to cutting-edge biological knowledge. With the company's permission, she used her own post-graduate research to help her boyfriend upgrade his equipment.

Spider-Man also has a good relationship with Stark, Dr. Banner and others. As the youngest and most beloved member of the team, he is quite smart. Apart from being a bit of a chatterbox, he also receives some help from Stark and others.

For example, Stark created a custom suit technology line specifically for Spider-Man, named the Spider-Series, distinct from his Mark Series. While the frequency of updates isn't as high as Stark's Mark Series, whenever new technology emerges, as long as it suits Spider-Man, Stark doesn't mind upgrading it.

Only one person, Peter, has enjoyed this privilege so far. Dr. Banner, who has a Hulkbuster armor set specifically for the Hulk, and his good friend James Rhodes, who received a custom-made suit from Tony, only count as half.

Even though Spider-Man has lost his spider-powers, he can still maintain his identity as a superhero just by wearing this suit.

The spider silk he was using was specially crafted for him by his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, specifically for dealing with powerful creatures and monsters. It was tough and elastic, and mixed with a special substance that only Heberon could extract. This substance had powerful anesthetic properties, and even a milligram dose was enough to drown a whale.

Are there other types of spider silk besides these? Are there any that are tougher? Or contain some kind of volatile toxin? Just like Stark developed various Mark suits for different situations, Gwen and Spider-Man did the same, but they each focused on different uses of spider silk.

Spider-Man's current suit was a combination of Stark's, Hyperion's, and some of his own technology. With the Hyperion space chip, he no longer had to worry about his silk being depleted quickly, relying on physical output.

Looking at the white cocoons struggling frantically on the web, the little spider let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about the monsters being able to break free. The anesthetic toxins on the spider silk were enough to inflict a heavy toll on most creatures trapped within the cocoons. According to Gwen, these toxins came from outer space, and Heberon had spent considerable manpower and time to replicate them, allowing for small-scale mass production.

In addition to their salary, each researcher at Heybollen will also receive a certain amount of work points based on their contributions. These points are similar to new currency, but can only be circulated within Heybollen. They can be used to redeem all of Heybollen's technological products.

The work points she accumulated in the laboratory were enough to supply Peter's consumption, except for the ones she used to satisfy Anjing's appetite, unless they were used in large quantities.

Sure enough, soon, the creatures that had just been wrapped into cocoons became quiet, and the frequency of the swaying of the white cocoons gradually became less and less.

But soon, the little spider jumping around in the city cluster attracted the attention of the hunter from the sky. A strange bird with a long sharp beak like an ancient pterosaur swooped down and headed straight for the little spider.

"Wow." The moment the strange bird stared at him, Spider-Man's spider sense began to alarm him frantically. He almost jumped away from his original position nimbly, avoiding being caught by the claws of the strange bird.

"Gwen!" Swinging in mid-air on the web, Spider-Man felt the constant sense of danger and immediately called out to his girlfriend, Gwen. Their division of labor was clear: he would deal with the majority of the enemies, while Gwen would deal with the more troublesome ones. Peter didn't think he could handle the giant bird, but it wouldn't be as quick as his girlfriend could handle it. So, without any pressure, he summoned his girlfriend.

"I'm An Jing! How many times do I have to say it!" An impolite female voice came from not far away, and then a black shadow flashed back and forth between the floors of the city. Before the voice fell to the ground, the black shadow appeared behind the strange bird that was lured down by Peter. Its arm turned into a huge black axe and chopped down without any hesitation.

when!

The axe and the neck of the strange bird made a metallic collision sound, but as Jing An increased the force, the strange bird, with most of its head cut off, immediately fell to the ground while wailing and spraying blood.

The little spider threw out a spider web at the right time, which just caught the falling strange bird. The spider silk fell to the ground like a bungee jump, and finally eliminated all the impact before touching the ground and bounced up.

"It was Gwen just now." Peter touched his head. He didn't lie. He had really been communicating with Gwen just now.

"I just don't like your greasiness." An Jing, who was leading the battle, curled her lips. Just as she was about to run to the next place, Peter suddenly raised his head and his voice suddenly became surprised: "Oh no, it seems we are in trouble."

An Jing, who was falling from mid-air, ejected a black spider-silk-like liquid to steady her falling body, and looked up at the sky following Peter's gaze.

A group of identical strange birds let out sharp cries, coming from far away and circling above the two of them.

"That's why I hate your mouth." An Jing muttered and complained, and then muttered quietly in her mind: "I haven't eaten this strange bird from the Nine Realms yet. I don't know if it tastes good."

Gwen, having surrendered control of her body, heard this in her mind and subconsciously rolled her eyes. Even more frightening, after so long, she had begun to resemble An Jing's gluttony. The moment she saw those monsters, her brain waves were remarkably aligned with An Jing's.

"What are we going to do?"

Facing the angry flock of strange birds, Spider-Man subconsciously shouted. The two of them didn't dare stay where they were, but quickly hid themselves by using the tall buildings around them. However, the strange birds, from their high vantage point, were able to track them down and kept approaching them.

"Of course, we need to find reinforcements!" An Jing answered without hesitation. She could deal with so many strange birds, but that would take time and energy.

"Mr. Stark is on the other side of the city. Can we make it in time?" Little Peter Spider instinctively thought of Tony Stark who had helped him a lot.

"Rather than relying on you, I might as well do it myself." An Jing replied irritably, using his communication device with Haibolun to apply for assistance from Haibolun's intelligent system.

"Okay, I've already sent out an application for assistance. Now we just have to wait..." When An Jing said this, she suddenly saw Spider-Man stop and stare blankly at the sky. She and Peter lay on the glass of a high-rise building for some unknown reason, looking up at the sky. In an instant, her face was completely distorted like an expression.

"Oh my god! What the hell is this? Are we even within the attack range?" An Jing looked at the twinkling stars at the end of the sky, his heart pounding, and he couldn't help cursing.

Intelligent systems are unreliable!

The strange birds in the sky also realized the danger from the sky. They cackled and became chaotic, flapping their wings and trying to escape. However, they were always under the white starlight that lit up the sky.

They were cannon muzzles, gushing and gleaming with heart-pounding energy. The sun's energy was absorbed efficiently by the energy-gathering devices orbiting the planets, then evenly distributed to the chain-type sky cannons. Because of this energy absorption, the planets below seemed to have entered darkness prematurely, making the concentrated energy glow in the sky even more conspicuous, dozens of times brighter than the brightest stars.

Heybollen's intelligent system, the Life Titan, processed vast quantities of data, evenly distributing its computing power across all areas within its reach. The vast army of machines and the Mark-series units operating in interconnected protocols swarmed the city, acting as its eyes and ears, providing radar positioning and frontline data from the battlefield.

The Octopus Machines even worked together to create several signal enhancement devices in a short period of time to contribute to the maps and data of the entire battlefield.

The dark sky was dotted with shining stars, and finally burst out. Under the dual coordinate positioning of the satellite and the ground, and the data calculation of Titan, the rays of light, like the brightest white meteor shower, fell with intoxicating light, which was poetic and picturesque, but contained a deadly crisis.

The strange birds dodged nimbly in the sky, but their movement trajectories, speeds and other data were all captured and uploaded by a group of octopuses on the ground using radar. Under the computing power of Titan, except for a very small number of those that escaped the net, the group of strange birds was almost wiped out. The vital parts of their hard bodies were directly pierced by the light beams, and they fell from the sky like rain.

Most of the strange birds that had managed to escape fatal injuries were also injured in other parts of their bodies. They were trying to get into the air with unstable bodies, but they could only barely maintain their bodies from falling rapidly.

"Okay, I take back what I said before. Sometimes that crappy smart phone is quite reliable." An Jing looked at the clear sky and said with a big mouth, a little embarrassed.

"Cool!" Spider-Man was delighted by this aesthetically pleasing violence. His spider sense finally died down again. Although he knew that as long as the invasion continued, the loss of this sense would only be temporary.

"Chained armed satellites?" Stark, manning a vast array of Mark suits across the city to control the situation, also witnessed the dazzling spectacle of rain falling from the sky. He knew that since the Chitauri invasion and Captain America's rise to power, S.H.I.E.L.D. had passed a planetary protection bill, which included various armed machines and weapons, as well as protective measures. The two primary regional contractors were Stark and Hybron. The country, especially the major metropolitan areas, was being flooded with new facilities, sky and ground, from top to bottom. This massive undertaking was tantamount to the complete transformation of a major city.

Currently, only a small part of the project has been completed. Only in the capital and major cities is the progress of the project relatively complete.

As a latecomer with the strongest extraterrestrial material delivery capability, Hebolun, with permission, almost threw materials up there without restraint, or simply used the Mingcheng, which had just been completed not long ago, outside the orbit to carry out a one-stop service of resource mining, processing, and manufacturing within the system.

It had to be said that the arrival of Heibolun had truly relieved everyone's spirits. Even Nick, whose face had been gloomy, relaxed a bit. They had also activated Heibolun's manufacturing plant, and the vast army of machines had helped to reduce their burden and sacrifices. Even the captain's pressure had been reduced significantly.

Information is omniscience.

Distance is safety.

Caliber is justice.

Firepower is truth.

The dual blockades of air and ground, along with beam sniping, significantly eased the pressure on the battlefield. As more and more data on the alien species was uploaded to the Titan's database, a complex data model quickly took shape under its powerful computing power. This model was then shared by the Titan with the terminals of the octopus machines on the field, serving as the connection point and brain.

With the powerful support of the Heberon Technology Library and the computing power of Titan, Octopus Machinery quickly began producing targeted weapons based on the specific conditions of their respective regions. For example, sonic weapons were used to repel these extraterrestrial creatures. While not very lethal, they were enough to cause them discomfort, forcing them out of the city first and then slowly cleaning up the situation.

The most dangerous targets were contained and stopped by the captain and other elites who had mastered the new power, while dangerous targets were targeted and eliminated by chain-armed satellites. The remaining large-scale extraterrestrial creatures were stopped by a vast number of mechanical creations and military soldiers.

After the initial chaos, with the participation of various forces, the situation strangely began to develop in a positive direction. The only uncertainty was how long this nine-star alignment would last, and if it continued for a long time, whether there was any way to solve this problem.
