Chapter 21: The Spider Web Launcher

With only four months to go before the college entrance examination, the practice questions sent by the teachers piled up on Peter's desk like a mountain of paper. And the criminals on the streets do not stop their activities because of this. At the same time lived Peter. The double life of Parker and the Red Knight was not easy. Time is like sand in your hand, passing through your fingers before you know it.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed in a hurry. For various reasons, Peter has not been able to develop a proper training plan for Gwen until now, but her small research has made a breakthrough.

"It just so happens that some of the properties of spider slime are being studied in the laboratory, and I refer to some of them, so the finished product comes out quite quickly."

In their secret base, Gwen handed a test tube filled with white slime to Peter's hand, and at the same time took out her notebook and began to sort out its various properties. Peter, who was very interested in this, listened carefully to every word she spoke, and took notes of his own.

"In the sealed state it will remain a semi-solid state, but when subjected to shear forces, it will exhibit quite a bit of liquid properties. Upon contact with air, it immediately solidifies into a fibrous substance with a very viscous nature. Due to its similar properties to cobwebs, I'll use it as cobweb fluid for the time being. ”

"For the first three to four seconds, its form is still unstable and has a fairly high degree of elasticity. However, this elasticity and viscosity will gradually diminish over time. ”

"As for its effect—" Gwen glanced at Peter. Is there a working prototype of the pressure emitter you're working on? ”

"Well, sort of." Peter scratched his neck and pulled out what looked like a bracer from the toolbox under the table, with a bulky-looking steel canister attached to it.

"Now it has a maximum pressure of about 400 PSI, but I need a slightly lighter air pressure source." Peter's tone seemed a little helpless, after all, compared to Gwen, his progress was simply pitiful. "I'm still studying how feasible it is to produce gas by electrolysis. But you also know that it takes time. ”

"Enough is enough!" Eager to show off her work, Gwen snatched the launcher directly from Peter's hand, and then carefully injected the cobweb liquid in her hand into the dispenser's container.

After all, she was involved in the design of the dispenser, and Gwen only fiddled with it for a moment before fiddling with it before fiddling with it for a moment. After limiting the firing caliber to 1.5 mm, she pressed the firing switch on the wall.

A white thread shot out of the dispenser's port, sticking to the wall across from them. Gwen paused for a moment, waited for the cobwebs to solidify completely, and pulled the rope that appeared out of thin air. Although she didn't use all her strength, the 'rope' with a diameter of just over a millimeter was amazing enough to withstand such a strong pull.

"According to my tests, its ultimate tensile strength should be about 70% of the Kvera fiber, but under the influence of different factors, this number fluctuates a bit too much. But..."

Gwen lifted the transmitter a little embarrassed, less than a third of the slime remained in the container, which was slightly larger than the AA battery. "If you want to maintain this thickness of rope and consume all the cobweb fluid in the container, it will probably not reach ten meters long. But if you control the thickness further..."

"Then the strength of the rope can't be guaranteed, right?" Peter took Gwen's words, touched his chin and began to think. "I could think about adding auto-weaving to the launcher, and I should be able to maintain the existing strength while reducing the rate of cobwebs depletion."

"I'll leave it to you for the mechanical parts." Gwen patted Peter on the back. "It's your specialty, after all."

This concludes the testing of the new arachnids. In the process of wrapping up, Peter found several other minor problems. For example, the viscosity of the cobwebs can lead to blockages in the emitter and make it difficult to replace the cobwebs container. However, compared to its features, these are small problems that can be easily solved.

With minimal preparation, large quantities of high-strength ropes can be produced quickly. Not only does this mean that he has an additional means of limiting the enemy's mobility, but it can also replace Peter's hook and rope equipment after solving the attrition problem, providing him with more freedom of movement.

If Stark Industries or the Osborne Group had learned of their little invention, they would have been willing to pay a fortune for its patent.

Halfway through the cleanup, looking at the cobwebs that were still firmly attached to the wall, Peter suddenly had another concern.

"By the way, we're experimenting with this thing here, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome to clean up, right?"

Hearing this, Gwen laughed like a cat that had caught a fish, and seemed happy that Peter had asked the question.

"I've thought about this for a long time. I added a special catalyst to the cobweb fluid. It automatically breaks down into a biodegradable substance just over an hour after molding. ”

She shook the test tube in her hand at Peter. "Don't underestimate the girl's carefulness, I've taken these issues into account. Of course, after all, I only have a week to study. If you give me a few more months, I should be able to build on it and fix other minor problems. ”

Although she had tried to make herself sound modest, Gwen's smugness was evident, and her whole person exuded this kind of 'come and praise me' vibe.

Peter rubbed her head affectionately, and Gwen didn't slap away the big hand that messed up her hair, but narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

The rest of the combat training did not take much time. Unlike Peter at the time, Gwen had less time and no strong desire to increase her strength. Now they only train two or three times a week, and each time they don't train for an hour at most.

However, for Gwen, an absolute newcomer, the progress she has made in that little time is enough to make her feel very satisfied. She smirked out loud when she managed to block Peter's triple blow and push him back with a backhand punch.

"You won't be able to use this against me next time!" She stuck her tongue out at Peter, who could only smile and nod. As for how blunt and rough Gwen's series of moves were, and how it was only one of the eight types of counter-attacks, these little facts didn't need to be taken out to hit her self-confidence for the time being.

At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrate.

Peter pulled out his phone and saw that it didn't show any incoming calls, but a window full of jumping codes. Peter's heart lifted as he tried to be strong and calm in front of Gwen, but he didn't know how to hide the buzz of the phone vibrating in front of her.

Gwen looked at Peter with a narrow expression and waved at him.

"It's okay, take it. Look at you like this, it should be the little thing you installed on my dad's phone, right? "She looked very generous, and Peter felt that his heart was hanging in the air." It's time for the 'Red Knights' to step in again? ”

"You... When did you find out? He stammered. He looked like a kid caught stealing candy late at night, and he looked extremely panicked.

"Oh, do you take everyone but yourself for a fool?" Gwen tapped him on the head. Fortunately, after these few days of training, her strength control has improved a lot, otherwise this time would be enough for him to feel better.

"The last time I was playing with his phone, I noticed something was wrong. I don't know anything about it, so I can't crack your software, but I can guess what it's for. ”

Gwen rolled his eyes, and then became uncontrollably excited. "So what's the situation now? What happened to my dad? ”

Facing such an excited Gwen, Peter could only let out a long sigh and covered his forehead. He thought he had installed a backdoor software on George's work phone, but he was seen by Gwen at a glance. And what left him speechless even more was that she seemed completely unaware that this signal might mean that George was in danger.

What a cheating daddy's daughter.

In desperation, he could only put the phone in front of Gewen and pressed the play button on it. A freshly recorded audio file starts playing.

"Queens received a burglary alert with a whistleblower saying he might be armed with a firearm. Ask the nearby patrol to immediately go to the Walmart supermarket on Colot Street for a preliminary investigation. ”

Hearing the recording, Gwen suddenly became agitated.

"Well, are you going now?" She asked excitedly. Peter smelled bad omens in her, and he took a step back and glanced at Gwen with a wary eye.

"What the hell do you want to do?"
