Chapter 30: Peter, Do You Like Spider-Woman?
Peter bent down to pick up the papers on the ground for the other man.
The title of the document, "Cross-species GMO and the Possibility of Human Organ Regeneration", clearly caught his eye.
"Thank you!"
After receiving the document handed over by Peter, the middle-aged man who was a little embarrassed thanked him repeatedly.
"Are you a biologist?"
Peter asked casually.
"Yes, Kurt. Connors, I've been working on cross-species GMOs. ”
Kurt. Connors had some difficulty holding a large stack of papers in one hand, and he leaned them closer to his chest to prevent them from falling around again.
"I see that your documents mention echinoderms and reptiles such as starfish, earthworms, salamanders, salamanders, etc., and you are studying the cell differentiation ability of this creature?"
Peter continued to ask him.
When he heard the other party's name, Peter recognized the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing glasses and his appearance was probably a lizardman.
However, the other party has not yet become a lizardman, at most he is only interested in lizards.
As if he didn't expect anyone to talk to him about genetically modified regeneration, Connors was a little stunned, and then felt a burst of emotion.
For him, who is unwilling, having someone who is willing to listen to him will make him happy for a long time.
"Yes, sir, I have been studying the ability of lower organisms like lizards to regenerate limbs, and if I can overcome the rejection between cross-species transgenesis, I can apply this regenerative ability to humans."
Peter nodded.
To some extent, the "black light virus" has this regenerative ability.
Not only does it have a strong regenerative ability, but it can also completely achieve immune rejection after engulfing and dissolving other living forms.
Whether it is an animal virus, a plant virus, or a bacteriophage, it will be engulfed by the "black light virus", and the protein in it will be converted into an energy medium according to a precise reaction, and the recorded genetic information will be retained.
If the molecular formula of the "black light virus" can be written, it will definitely be a great discovery.
And the Kurt in front of him. Connors happens to be a biologist and a scientist who has studied DNA and gene transcription, as well as human cytology.
Thinking of this, Peter turned his gaze to the other party.
"Generally speaking, only embryonic stem cells in the human body have the pluripotent type of differentiation, but its research is subject to ethical restrictions, do you also plan to start with embryonic stem cells?"
Peter inherited the scientific knowledge of his predecessor, and recently read a lot of books on biology because of the black light virus.
So I was able to communicate with each other about biology.
Faced with Peter's question, Connors shook his head excitedly, looked at his missing right arm, and said:
"Instead of embryonic stem cells, I developed a type of plasma taken from a reptile, a special type of plasma that contains lizard DNA, and I did this experiment at 'Algray', Florida. It can restore and regenerate animal limbs, and in time, it can be applied to the human body. ”
Peter nodded, "If it happens, it's a great invention." So, you're here because you're working with Osborne? ”
Hearing Peter talk about Osborne Enterprises, Connors's expression darkened.
"No, I wish they would fund me to complete this experiment, but Osborne Enterprises has made demanding demands, they want everything under their control, and they even want to kick me out."
"...... like this"
Peter thought for a moment and said to him, "I have a friend who is quite fascinated by biology, especially cross-species genetics, maybe, you can talk about it. ”
At this time, Peter had the appearance of mutant Huey, but he didn't want to communicate with the other party in this capacity, so he reported Peter. Parker's name.
After exchanging contact information with Connors, he turned and walked outside the Osborne Building.
Connors watched Peter leave the building, and finally let out a dejected sigh.
The thought of dealing with the "bureaucrats" of the Osborne enterprise made him feel tired.
......
At night, the Queens Forest Hills.
Ben put down the Clarion Daily in his hand, turned to his wife and said, "There is more and more news about Spider-Woman now. ”
"Really? What's the news this time? ”
Aunt Mei was making coffee, and when she heard Ben say this, she leaned over to him and asked.
"Near Fifth Avenue, a drag racing drama was staged. No, exactly, it should be Spider-Woman and a man driving a black SUV who got into a fight on the road, and a police officer was injured and taken to the hospital. ”
Ben talks about what happened to Spider-Woman and Peter during the day.
Unaware of the initiator, he sat not far from him, quietly sipping hot coffee.
"Fifth Avenue?"
Aunt Mei thought for a moment, "I happened to pass by there during the day, maybe a few minutes later or a few minutes earlier, and I could meet her." ”
"Hmm."
Uncle Ben took off his reading glasses and said to his wife seriously: "Then I have to say, Mei, you missed a few hundred dollars." ”
"A few hundred dollars?"
Mei looked at her husband in surprise, "You mean I'll pick up the money there?" Or is it because I saw Spider-Woman and had a lot of luck so I bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery? ”
"Neither."
Ben took the "Clarion Daily" and showed the text in the corner to May, "Look, the Clarion Daily paid a lot of money to collect pictures of Spider-Woman. ”
"Really."
May let out a surprised voice, "Is Spider-Woman so popular now?" ”
"A lot of young people like her, and there are a lot of vendors selling her face T-shirts on the street."
Although Ben is older, he still knows a lot about the things that young people like.
He turned to Peter, who was sipping hot coffee, and asked, "Peter, do you like Spider-Woman?" ”
"Huh?"
Peter didn't expect that he would be involved in the topic of Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and was stunned for a moment.
"You're also a young person, so Peter, your answer will also represent the thoughts of some young people."
Uncle Ben smiled at his wife and turned his face to Peter.
"Me?"
After thinking for a second, Peter said without blushing and without a heartbeat, "I don't know her. ”
"We don't know her, and all our impressions of her come from the newspapers, like the Clarion Daily in my hand, and they always go out of their way to make Spider-Woman the villain."
Ben said with emotion: "But there are still many people who like her, and young people nowadays will always have their own ideas." ”
"She's good."
Peter said as Uncle Ben meant.
Because of Spider-Woman and Spider-Man, no superhero is closer to failure than them.
The last word, he said to himself in his heart.
