Welcome everyone."
A gentle male voice caught everyone's attention. A middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle appearance walked towards them. Besides his gentle and scholarly demeanor, the most eye-catching thing about this man was his bare right arm.
"I'm Dr. Curtis Connors, and just in case you're surprised, I should remind you that I'm left-handed." Dr. Connors made a self-deprecating joke about his lost right arm.
"I am not a disabled person, but a scientist. I am the best in the field of genetics and herpetology." Dr. Connors spoke confidently, and the students present nodded in agreement. After all, Dr. Connors' name had long been spread throughout the world.
"First, let me explain the relationship between genetics and herpetology. As we all know, people are born with weaknesses. We will be knocked down by various diseases and accidents. For example, Parkinson's patients can only watch helplessly as their bodies become disobedient day by day. For example, patients with severe macular disease can only watch in despair as their world sinks into darkness day by day. And some people, like me, have lost part of their body due to various accidents." Dr. Connors' tone was very heavy, with a hint of sadness, and he was deeply touched.
Dr. Connors quickly composed himself and asked the interns present in a slightly testing tone, "I hope to be able to heal myself. I hope to create a world without weakness. Let me give you a little test. Does anyone know how to achieve this goal?"
"Stem cell embryo technology!" someone immediately answered.
"Well, it's close. But it's not perfect yet. Any other ideas?" Connors praised but obviously did not agree with the answer.
There was silence for a moment. Dr. Connors's topic was very profound and was completely beyond the comprehension of these high school students present.
"I think cross-species genetics could be of some use," Peter Parker said with a hint of uncertainty, and everyone present turned their eyes to him.
"For example?" Dr. Connors continued to ask Peter Parker with a smile on his face.
"For example, Parkinson's disease occurs because the body's stem cells stop secreting dopamine. However, the zebrafish's DNA has the function of replacing the stem cells' dopamine secretion. If the patient can obtain this part of the zebrafish's DNA, then I think the patient can be cured." Peter was a little stuttering at first, but once he began to really explain, he immediately became very focused, his expression became more and more confident, and he had a feeling of being in command of everything.
There was admiration in Harry's eyes. This was his friend, a biological genius that Dr. Connors valued.
Dr. Connors's smile grew wider as he looked at Peter. Gwen Stacy's eyes also grew brighter as she looked at Peter, seemingly drawn in by his focused expression.
"Who are you?" Dr. Connors asked, no longer able to hide his smile.
"Peter, my name is Peter Parker, Dr. Connors." Peter introduced himself to Dr. Connors with some excitement.
"According to Harry, he's also the smartest student at Metropolis High School." Gwen Stacy also assisted Peter once, leaving a deep impression on Dr. Connors.
After chatting with Peter Parker for a while, Connors expressed his affirmation of Peter Parker's talent and his sincere hope to become a colleague in the future.
Gwen Stacy then assigned the tasks, and Peter Parker's task was to observe the genetically modified spiders of the Osborn Group. The spider silk produced by this type of spider is extremely flexible, and even a container the size of a ballpoint pen can hold thousands of meters of spider silk.
Each bundle of spider silk can withstand a weight of 50 kilograms. It is a technology that the Osborne Group has focused on developing. The previous generation of products has been sold on the market. Once this product came out, it immediately became a best-seller.
This genetically modified spider is just one product of the Osborne Group.
Peter's task was to observe these spiders and write an observation article.
Peter was taking pictures of these genetically modified spiders with his camera, and he didn't notice a small spider crawling along the corner of the wall and above Peter.
"Hiss~" Peter felt something bite the back of his hand and quickly retracted his hand. Looking at the small wound on the back of his hand, Peter scratched his head and muttered, "It's strange that there are mosquitoes in the Osborne Group."
Chapter 25: Tony's Revenge
There is a small town called Gunilla in the Middle East. It was originally a peaceful and tranquil place.
But now, because of the war, the town has become a ruin.
Countless people wandered in this ruin. They were the original residents of this town, but now they could only be regarded as wandering homeless people.
What is even more tragic than this is that their life safety is not guaranteed.
A terrorist armed group called the Ten Rings Gang occupied this place and began to plunder all useful resources here.
Among these resources, the most important one is people.
Fighting wars requires people, and producing materials requires people.
As for where these people came from, the Ten Commandments Gang had a good answer, which was to rob them through violence.
Getting valuable manpower without paying a penny is undoubtedly the most profitable business.
Of course, the premise of this transaction is to trample on the most universal laws in the world and the most basic morals.
"Go! Go! Get all the women and children to the truck."
The bearded man who had kidnapped Tony before yelled and ordered his men to force the women and children onto the truck.
Their target was certainly not these women and children, but the adult labor force of this small town.
The explosion caused by Natasha caused heavy losses to their organization. In order to replenish the lost manpower, they began to conscript adult men on a large scale.
This kind of violent conscription would certainly not earn them true loyalty. However, what they needed was not loyalty, but obedient subordinates.
If they want these adult men to only obey their orders, using their families to threaten them is undoubtedly the best way.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Under the coercion of this group of armed bandits, a man protected his wife and two children and staggered forward step by step. No one was willing to leave his family under such circumstances.
But at gunpoint he was forced to leave them.
"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?" The impatient gangster knocked the father to the ground with the butt of his gun, and then forcibly snatched his family from his arms.
The father who was knocked to the ground knelt on the ground and crawled towards his family. Before he had gone far, he was hit on the back of the head with the butt of a gun.
When he got there, the father's head was covered in blood and he fainted on the ground.
"Dad, Dad!" The child, who was forcibly dragged away, suddenly broke free from the gangster's control and ran towards his father who had fainted on the ground. His unexpected action caught the surrounding gangsters off guard, so they could only watch him pounce on his father.
Seeing the miserable situation of the father and son, the coerced refugees around them began to commotion.
"Oh my God! Can't you even do such a small thing?" The bearded man saw the commotion around him and hurried over. He first glanced at the father and son on the ground, then began to show a fierce look.
"Come here, you disgusting little thing."
The bearded man picked up the child and threw him into the arms of his men behind him. Then, with a ferocious look on his face, he shouted, "Don't even think about resisting us, you refugees. If anyone harbors such thoughts, we will punish them with the most horrific means. I promise, this is more than you can bear. If you don't believe me, this man is the proof."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him and gave an order.
"Kill this man and teach them a lesson."
The gunman immediately pulled the bolt and pointed the gun at the unconscious father.
Seeing this scene, fear and despair began to show in the eyes of the surrounding refugees, and the man's wife even hugged her child while crying.
At this point, it seemed like no one could save them. Looking around, the bearded man smiled triumphantly. Sometimes, the feeling of controlling another person's life was truly intoxicating, impossible to stop. All this was thanks to that great man far away in the East.
He was waiting for the sound of gunfire that represented his terrifying methods and deterrent power, but what he got was a roar.
It was like a missile brushing past his scalp. The piercing roar came from far away and gradually entered his ears.
Until with a clang, a steel man with a metallic luster all over his body landed on the ground in the dazzling firelight.
The golden-red armor makes people look passionate and fiery, while the heavy metal module is full of deterrence and oppression.
