Chapter 83 Ninja Spider
Peter gently pushed open the door, holding a stack of documents, and saw a middle-aged man in a white research suit packing up his things, saying, "Dr. Connors, are you leaving today?"
The middle-aged man had gray hair and looked a little haggard. More importantly, his right arm was empty under his study, and obviously he only had one arm.
"Oh, it's Peter? Yes, the research collaboration is over, I have to leave."
Peter gently placed the documents on the desktop of Connors' desk, and then he whispered: "I'm sorry, if I were a little more powerful, maybe I could have achieved results before the study was over..."
"You're already amazing," Dr. Connors said gently. "You're just a high school student, but you're even smarter and harder than the graduate students I've seen before. If possible, I'd like to write a letter of recommendation for you."
"Thank you, but I haven't decided which university to go to, and I'm still a while away from going to college."
Peter moved his lips and said, "So where are you going next? The research on serum agents has reached its final stage, and as long as there is a similar laboratory, it should be done."
Dr. Connors looked up at his office and said, "There will be no longer any good conditions like Stark Building. When they came to me, I just liked the hardware conditions of the laboratory here and agreed."
He used the only remaining hand to pack up his things and said, "But it doesn't matter. As you said, the experiment is at the last moment, as long as I work harder, I will succeed."
"At that time, maybe I'm not the only one who can regain the arms. I know that many of them are breaking their hands and feet in the war. The security fund given by the military can only be enough for them to make a living. Those prosthetics are too expensive. If there is really a regenerated serum, they can return to normal people again."
Peter heard the excitement in Dr. Connors' tone, and during his internship, he left the deepest impression on him.
Originally, Peter was not an intern in this research group, but when he was helping the leader of their group run errands, he met Dr. Connors, who had just been invited by the military to participate in Stark's medical research cooperation.
Peter was surprised when he saw him for the first time, because Dr. Connors only had one arm, but this did not delay his scientific research at all. He had a genius brain and was the world's top in the research of bionics and serum technology.
Peter was greatly shocked because even those with strong limbs might not be able to achieve such high achievements, so he applied to transfer Dr. Connors' research team.
After all, he was bitten by a spider before he mutated, and he also wanted to figure out what exactly caused this mutation.
Peter was very smart and diligent. Although he was a little nerdy, he was the kind of child he liked the most. Soon Dr. Connors fell in love with this young intern.
From Connors, Peter learned that he was originally a military doctor and a veteran. It was on the battlefield that he lost one of his arms, but this did not hinder his scientific research path.
Instead, he embarked on a unique medical path, began to study the effects of serum in organisms, and achieved quite good results.
When he was assistant to Dr. Connors, Peter also learned a lot about biology. After obtaining spider mutation, Peter's genius's brain turned faster. The two geniuses got together, and of course the speed of research increased rapidly.
But just when the last bit was about to be completed, Stark and the military cooperation ended, and the researchers were about to leave Stark Building.
Originally, even if this kind of research project that was invited was terminated halfway, the researchers could get their own rewards. They wanted to end it early and could use the remaining time to go out for vacation.
But Dr. Connors is different. He is not here to make a living. He really wants to develop a serum technology that can regenerate broken limbs to restore his own limbs and benefit those disabled soldiers who lost their limbs in war like him.
So it was inevitable that he felt a little disappointed, but looking at Peter's reluctant expression, Dr. Connors said: "It's okay, when you go to college, maybe I will teach in an Eastern university. You can come to my laboratory and we can continue to study."
"Then let's just say that!" Peter said happily.
In fact, Stark had tried to teach Peter about mechas and artificial intelligence before, but Peter was not very interested.
He is not an industrial fundamentalist school like Stark. He prefers to explore unknown mysteries of mankind, such as those hidden in nature, or the magical outer space.
During his study with Dr. Connors, he learned many mysteries in cold-blooded animals like spiders and lizards, which made him very interested. He felt that it would be good if he became a biologist or entomologist in the future.
It would be great if Dr. Connors could really invent any technology that could save people.
Although Peter became Spider-Man and actively fought crime every night, as a good student, his plan for his life route is not just a superhero.
He still wants to get into a good university step by step, and then choose a major and direction he likes to conduct research. It is best to get a few doctoral degrees, then stay at school to teach, or open his own research center.
Perhaps it was the impact of spider mutation on him. During his research with Dr. Connors, Peter had a special sense of closeness to these cold-blooded creatures, so he gradually determined his future goals.
The motivation to have a clear goal greatly dispelled the sadness of being separated from the teacher. After leaving the Stark Building, Peter was energetic and planned to continue his Spider-Man career.
The last fight with Bull Eye taught him a lot. Peter discovered that although he had a spider-wire launcher that could swing around on high-rise buildings, the speed was not fast, at most it was a little faster than the car. More importantly, as long as he attacked such a swagger, the whole of New York knew that he had come out to fight crime again.
By the time he reached the place, the robbers with a little experience would have run away.
During the last battle, Peter's only plan to be praised collectively was that he used the well-connected sewer underground in New York.
This is a very good tactic. The sewer environment in New York is not good, the walls and floors are smooth, and they are very dark and wet. Ordinary people cannot move easily and freely there.
But Peter is different. He is Spider-Man. It can be glued to all kinds of walls. When running, you don’t have to worry about whether the ground under your feet will make him slip.
Moreover, the straight and wide ground of the underground waterway is like a runway tailor-made for Spider-Man. There will be no traffic jams or pedestrians. When he sprints with all his strength, it is much faster than racing.
The most important thing is that this is hidden enough, he moves underground and then comes out of the nearest sewer entrance, and no one will find out where he has gone from.
This is best used when dealing with experienced robbers.
There was a group of robbers who robbed the bank before. They were all veterans. There were three or four people who were following them. Peter had fought with them, but as soon as his figure appeared in the sky, the group of people disappeared instantly.
Later, Peter caught them off guard with sewer tactics. Before they could transfer the packets of money into the car, Spider-Man came out of the manhole cover nearest street entrance and scrapped the engine of the car they used to escape with one punch. The robber naturally caught him.
Now Spider-Man discovered the convenience of the sewer. For him, it was a quick elevator that could reach any location in New York at any time.
In this way, Peter began to care about the structure of the sewer.
The sewers in New York were built very early and have undergone countless renovations. There is almost no map that can draw the routes of all sewers in a very complete way.
So Peter planned to turn all the sewers himself and draw a roadmap.
Anyway, he is not busy with his studies, has plenty of time, and is fast, so he is not afraid of spending much energy. He can transfer half of the urban area in one day.
On that day, Peter was wandering around the sewer again. He was holding a map in his hand and marking the structure of the sewer with a marker.
He was drawing very attentively and didn't pay attention to his feet. His spider moved and found that a brick under his feet was raised. If he continued not to look at the road, he might be tripped.
So Peter put down the map in his hand and planned to turn this one before reading it.
And just then, he discovered a little difference in details.
Generally speaking, most of the sewers in New York will not come. The ground is full of smooth moss and scale, but the moss here seems to have been cleaned up by something.
Peter walked to the junction of the wall and the floor tiles and found a little white powder. He leaned over and smelled it and found that it was an acidic substance, which seemed to be specially used to clean up moss.
Who would have nothing to do to come here to sweep the floor? Peter thought that even if it weren't for the crime, he wouldn't want to stay in this dark and wet ghost place.
He continued to move forward along this trace, and then found traces of someone moving in a sewer maintenance site that had been abandoned for a long time.
This is easy to judge. There is a smell of fuel burning here. Obviously someone has fired here. Peter glanced into the iron gate of the maintenance office. His good eyesight made him discover that there seemed to be traces of life inside.
Peter did not use violence to hit the door because he knew that it would be discovered. He didn't have any lock-picking tools at hand now, so Peter took out the map and drew a dot on the map to mark it, intending to get some tools to come and take a look at it a few days.
