Chapter 135: Osborne Father and Son
In every second of Marvel's time, Lille is also busy, but not so dangerous.
However, now that the direction of the research has been determined, Lille is willing to slow down a bit.
After discussing a few more issues with Dr. Connors and deciding on the way forward, Lille left the lab, along with Peter Parker, a little spectacled boy.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw a group of people with sad faces and dark circles coming down the building next door.
Lille asked with interest, "What do they do?" It looked like he was going to die. ”
Peter glanced at it, and said with a teasing smile, "What do you think?" They are clearly a bunch of PhD students – have you ever heard the joke?
If you see a guy with a greasy face hanging out in a bar and proudly saying he's a PhD student, he must be a liar.
But if you see a person in school who is emotionally unstable, discouraged all day long, mentally fluctuating, and muttering something you don't understand all the time--
Nine times out of ten, he is a real doctoral student, maybe he is still an old doctoral student. ”
The corners of Lille's mouth twitched as he listened—really.
Peter quickly added, "Mr. Lille, you really have the courage - are you going to experiment with lizard potions yourself?" ”
"Of course not, I don't want to be a lizard, but donating some bone marrow or something shouldn't be a problem--"
"But although bone marrow donation is generally considered to have little impact in medicine, can your body really tolerate it?"
Lille's expression froze—really.
Just now, I was thinking about donating some bone marrow and recovering with a little more lizard potion, but I really forgot about it.
In this world, he hasn't injected that thing yet.
But Lille quickly added, "Well, well, but I'm sure I'll find volunteers." ”
Not Lille narcissistic.
It was he who knew that there would be people in the community who believed in him and were willing to volunteer.
Even if they scoff at advertisements for blood and bone marrow offerings and say that they are liars, they will choose to believe in themselves.
The feeling is all too familiar to Lille.
After Lille finished speaking, he looked at Peter again: "What are you talking about?" Are you going to volunteer for me to make lizard serum? ”
"Uh" Peter scratched his head, "I may not be good, it's not that I'm timid, really!"
I'm going to college soon, and my family may not be able to support my full tuition fees, so I have to work part-time while I go to school. ”
Lille smiled: "I understand you, it's good to provide for yourself to go to college, but the pressure you have to face is not small." ”
Peter scratched his head: "This kind of pressure can't be compared to yours - by the way, sir, do you think it's possible for GMOs to graft synthetic genes onto people?" It's spontaneous, like a bite or other contact. ”
"What do you think?" Lille asked knowingly.
Normally, of course not - GMOs are also living organisms, and how can their bodily fluids have a recompilation effect on the DNA of other individuals?
If this is true, it means that people who eat genetically modified vegetables will also cause problems with their own genes!
But in fact, in transgenic engineering, it is the protein that works to cut the DNA, and it is a biological tool that is specially used to cut genes!
Rarely, GMOs secrete chemical or biotoxins that can damage the structure of DNA.
Sure enough, Peter said, "There are still some possibilities, right? For example, genetically modified organisms happen to secrete a protein toxin that happens to cut DNA or something."
"Maybe, but this design is a bit too complicated, you have to know that the GMO itself needs to be customized for the test subject, and now you not only have to customize the GMO, but also predict that the protein it secretes will have a specific effect on the human body.
At least we haven't found that yet. ”
"That's true."
That's why Lille won't go to the spider who created Spider-Man.
That spider was almost tailor-made for Spider-Man – either by coincidence or deliberately.
Assuming that the spider does secrete DNA-altering venom, that venom must only work on Spider-Man normally.
Ordinary people are bitten and have a much greater probability of genetic breakdown, and a small probability of becoming a spider-man--
The spider-man as opposed to the lizardmen.
In fact, even the genetically modified spider prepared for Spider-Man did not work properly in some stories, and instead made Peter a spider demon or something.
Lille's plug-in is not that kind of super authenticator, on the contrary, what has worked so far is actually something that Lille has been able to understand.
The more I learned, the more I felt that something might be destiny.
Lille continued: "Ordinary people are like this, either genetic collapse or become lizardmen, do you want to do this?" ”
Peter's head shook like a rattle: "Of course it's not just you've been watching the news lately?" It is said that there are people who climb and jump like spiders between buildings at night."
"I haven't seen it." Lille really hasn't seen it, he's making up for his biological knowledge every minute, and prosthetic development is a pretty serious matter.
So he shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, then I can only say that maybe this world has that kind of chosen son."
Maybe you can be a lizard hero or something by getting bitten by a lizard, but I strongly discourage it. ”
As they spoke, the two came to the school gate, and not far from the office building walked out of a building that looked very. Rich lad.
It's not that he has an account balance printed on his head, but that people look at him everywhere he goes, with the kind of eyes that look at the rich.
As he spoke, the boy saw Peter wave his hand: "Peter! ”
Peter waved as well, explaining to Lille, "My good brother, Harry Osborne—that's it."
"Of course I know which Osborne it is."
Harry looks very energetic, with short hair, and looks very cheerful, but the key is that he doesn't have the annoying aura of other rich second generations.
If he was that kind of person, he probably wouldn't be friends with Peter.
"That's a good mix—I forgot you reported Professor Connors's thigh."
The two brothers hugged each other when they met, and then Harry looked at Lille, "Who is this?" ”
"Lille Lee, Professor Connors' partner."
"Oh, nice to meet you, I guess Peter has already introduced me to me, just call me Harry."
"Me too." Lille had no ill will towards the boy.
Soon, Harry waved his hand behind Learle again, and his smile retracted--
Lille turned around and saw a man in a suit and a stilted look walking towards them, followed by a bodyguard.
Between the eyebrows, he is quite similar to Harry.
Harry lowered his arms and said to the two of them:
"The big entrepreneur is here - I guess that's the end of the friendly exchange, Peter, you go back with me in a moment, I'll give you a ride."
That's right, this man is none other than Norman Osborne, the CEO of the Osborne Group.
Norman seems to be quite decent, but just seeing him, he is associated with the successful entrepreneurs that the United States advertises - or rather, the United States portrays him as the archetype of successful entrepreneurs.
And there is no arrogance of an entrepreneur – at least barely felt in conversation.
He glanced at the crowd, his expression rather kind, only Lille noticed that his gaze stayed on him longer--
Upon entering, he said, "Peter, congratulations on your acceptance into Imperial University and even joining Professor Connors's lab.
Unlike my son, it takes a lot of work. ”
Harry rolled his eyes, apparently used to it - but still in a bad mood.
With that, he looked at Lille again: "And this, I know you, you are Professor Connors's current investor."
Seriously, I should be mad at that, but I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future – and the Osborne Group welcomes people like you. ”
With that, he stretched out his hand, and Lille took his hand as well.
If Norman Osborne wasn't the Green Goblin.
is also a serious big capitalist.
Be cautious in contact.
Lille smiled and shook Norman's hand, "I'm glad to meet you, I'm glad to see you, for Professor Connors's choice - I hope you can understand that I'm a partner of Professor Connors, not an investor."
We would prefer to complete independent research and development. ”
"Of course, I'm also a scientist - I'm out of company, and there's still a lot of work to be done today."
"Of course."
Watching Osborne and Parker get into the car, Lille had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Rumours have it that the Osborne Group is not doing well lately, could this be a sign that the Green Goblin is about to be born?
Which version of the Osborne Group is this?
In the car, Norman behaved with Peter as enthusiastic, as always.
"Peter, you're getting better and better now, Professor Connors has always been an authority on cross-species GMO, and I can't impress him when I invite him to our company.
Unlike some people, he may not even know what cross-species GMO is and what it can do.
Would you like to explain? ”
In the back seat, Harry rolled his eyes, "Please, you want to teach me a lesson at this time?" ”
"You should know what your friends are doing, not always doing nothing and even helping out with college."
Obviously, the relationship between Osborne and his son was not so harmonious.
Peter naturally doesn't pay attention to this, or he knows it, but he doesn't know how to deal with it, and more often follows the other person's words.
Coupled with a major breakthrough in the experiment, he is indeed very excited and wants to share it with his good brother.
"Harry – that's really cool, you know what? Professor Connors really managed to make an iguana less than 40cm long grow to almost 1 meter!
And that lizard used to eat grass, but now it can eat meat! Like a dinosaur! ”
Harry rolled his eyes even more and whispered, "Peter-nobody cares about the lizards, okay?" Are you from my side? ”
"Uh, it looks like I'm here - but Harry, that lizard is really good, do you like watching dinosaurs?"
Harry slapped Peter: "Still in the lizards - spare your time tomorrow night and I'll take you to the ball - Gwen will be there too, don't be late!" ”
"Prom? I."
"Don't me, I'll get my clothes ready!"
The car stopped, and before Peter could say more, Harry slapped Peter on the ass and kicked him out.
When Peter got out of the car and the car had gone for a while, Norman suddenly asked the driver to stop, and then quickly chased after him.
"Peter!"
Norman hurried after him, and Peter, who was stopped, looked puzzled.
"Peter—I have something to say to you."
"Please."
"It's Harry's business." Norman paused, seemingly a little embarrassed, and his expression was very entangled, "He has the same genetic disease as his mother. ”
Peter was stunned: "But he never told me"
"He doesn't know, but as he gets older, illness always catches up with him."
Norman said very heavily: "Cross-species GMO is not just a project of the company, it is also my investment to heal Harry.
That's why I invited Professor Connors to take over the project, because I was really scared that one day Harry would be like his mother-
In fact, his body was already changing, but he couldn't notice the subtle changes yet. ”
Peter was already confused.
He lost his parents at a young age, resulting in a somewhat withdrawn personality, with few friends, and he didn't get better until middle school, but he was bullied because of his nerdy image.
Harry was his only friend, one might even say brother.
Norman continued: "I really need this research to be fruitful"
Peter was just dumbfounded, but not stupid, and his expression became tangled and frightened: he was afraid that Norman would immediately tell him to steal the research materials.
Norman didn't say that, he stared at Peter's face: "Listen, Peter, I'm not asking you to be a spy, I'm just. . .
I'm willing to invest if your project progresses – that's what I intended to do in the first place, only to be rejected by Professor Connors.
Think about the progress of this project, and it's not just going to save Harry, it's going to save thousands of patients.
You're going to be heroes, I just hope it's faster, I hope it heals Harry faster. ”
Peter didn't know what to say anymore.
But every word of Norman poked in his heart—
He could save Harry like a hero and save thousands of patients.
