Chapter 135 Osborne and Son

Every second at Marvel, Leal is also busy, but not as dangerous.

However, now that the research direction has been determined, Lille is willing to slow down some pace.

After discussing some more issues with Dr. Connors and determining the direction of subsequent development, Leal left the laboratory - leaving with him was Peter Parker, a little boy with glasses.

As soon as the two of them went out, they saw a group of people with sad faces and dark circles coming downstairs next door.

Lear asked with interest: "What do they do? They look like they are about to die."

Peter took a look and said with a smile: "What do you think? They are obviously a group of doctoral students - have you heard this joke?

If you see a slicked-up person picking up girls in a bar and proudly saying that he is a PhD student, then he must be a liar.

But if you see a person in school who is emotionally unstable, looks depressed all day long, has high mental fluctuations, and is always mumbling something incomprehensible -

Then he is most likely a real doctoral student, or maybe an old doctoral student. "

After hearing this, Leer's mouth twitched - it was true.

Peter quickly said: "Mr. Lear, you are really brave - do you plan to experiment with the lizard potion yourself?"

"Of course not. I don't want to turn into 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 medical impact, can your body really tolerate it?"

Lille's expression froze - it's true.

Just now, I was thinking about donating some bone marrow and recovering with a little more lizard potion. I really forgot about it.

In this world, he hasn't been injected with that thing yet.

But Leal quickly added: "Well, okay, but I'm sure I can find volunteers."

It’s not that Lille is narcissistic.

He knows that there will definitely be people in the community who believe in him and are willing to be volunteers.

Even if they sneer at the advertisements for blood and bone marrow donation and call them scams, they will choose to believe in themselves.

This feeling was all too familiar to Lear.

After finishing speaking, Lear looked at Peter again: "Why are you talking about this? Are you going to volunteer for me as a lizard serum?"

"Uh" Peter scratched his head, "I might not be good at it, it's not that I'm timid, really!

I am going to college soon, and my family may not be able to support all my tuition fees. I have to work while going to school. "

Lear smiled: "I understand you. It's great to support yourself in college, but the pressure you have to face is not small."

Peter scratched his head: "This kind of pressure cannot be compared with yours - By the way, sir, do you think it is possible for genetically modified organisms to graft synthetic genes into humans? It would be spontaneous, such as a bite or something else touch."

"What do you think?" Lear asked knowingly.

Normally, of course not - genetically modified organisms are also living organisms, so how can their body fluids have the effect of recompiling the DNA of other individuals?

If this situation is true, it means that eating genetically modified vegetables will also cause problems with one's own genes!

But in fact, in genetic engineering, what works is the protein used to cut DNA, which is a biological tool specifically used to cut genes!

In rare cases, GMOs secrete chemical or biological toxins that can damage the structure of DNA.

Sure enough, Peter said: "There are still some possibilities, right? For example, genetically modified organisms will secrete a protein toxin that will cut DNA or something."

"Maybe, but this kind of design is a bit too complicated. You have to know that genetically modified drugs themselves need to be customized for experimental subjects. Now you not only have to customize genetically modified organisms, but you also have to predict that the proteins they secrete will have specific effects on the human body. Influence.

At least we haven't found this method yet. "

"It is indeed the case."

That's why Leal doesn't go looking for the spider that created Spider-Man.

That spider was almost tailor-made for Spider-Man—either by coincidence or on purpose.

Assuming that the spider does secrete venom that changes DNA, that venom must only work normally on Spider-Man.

If an ordinary person is bitten, the probability of genetic collapse is much higher, and there is a small probability of becoming a spider--

The kind of spider-man that is the opposite of a lizard-man.

In fact, even the genetically modified spiders prepared for Spider-Man did not work properly in some stories, and instead turned Peter into something like a spider demon.

Lear's plug-in is not that kind of super identifier. On the contrary, the things that it can work with so far are actually things that Lear can already understand.

The more I understand, the more I feel that some things may be destiny.

Lear added: "If ordinary people are treated like this, their genes will either collapse or they will become lizard-men. Do you want this?"

Peter shook his head like a rattle: "Of course not only have you watched the news recently? It is said that there are people climbing and jumping between buildings at night like spiders."

"I haven't seen it." Lille really hasn't seen it. He spends every minute replenishing his biological knowledge. The development of prosthetic bodies is a very serious matter.

So he shrugged: "Okay, then I can only say that maybe this world has that kind of chosen one.

Maybe you can become a lizard hero or something if you get bitten by a lizard, but I strongly advise against it. "

As they talked, the two came to the school gate, and a rich-looking young man walked out of an office building not far away.

It's not that he has an account balance printed on his head, but people look at him wherever he goes, as if he were a rich man.

As he said that, the boy saw Peter and waved his hand: "Peter!"

Peter waved back and explained to Lear: "My good brother, Harry Osborne - that's it"

"Of course I know which Osborne it is."

Harry looks very energetic, has short hair, and looks very cheerful. The key is that he does not have the annoying aura of other rich second generations.

If he was that kind of person, he probably wouldn't be friends with Peter.

"You're doing well - I even forgot that you've signed up for Professor Connors."

The two brothers hugged each other after meeting, and then Harry looked at Lear: "Who is this?"

"Lil Lee, Professor Connors' partner."

"Oh, nice to meet you, I guess Peter has already introduced me, just call me Harry."

"Me too." Lear didn't have any ill intentions towards the boy.

But soon, Harry waved his hand behind Lear again, his smile fading--

Lille turned around and saw a serious man in a suit walking towards them, followed by a bodyguard.

Between his eyebrows, he looked quite similar to Harry.

Harry lowered his arms and said to the two of them:

"The big entrepreneur is here - I guess the friendly exchange ends here. Peter, you can go back with me later and I'll give you a ride."

That's right, this man is none other than Norman Osborne, CEO of the Osborne Group.

Norman looks quite decent, and just by looking at him, you will associate him with those successful entrepreneurs promoted by the United States - or in other words, the United States molds him as a typical example of successful entrepreneurs.

And there is no entrepreneurial arrogance - at least there is almost no sense in the conversation.

He glanced at everyone, his expression was quite kind, but Lille noticed that his eyes stayed on him longer--

After walking in, he said: "Peter, congratulations on being admitted to Imperial University and even joining Professor Connors' laboratory.

Unlike my son, it takes a lot of work. "

Harry rolled his eyes, obviously used to it - but still in a bad mood.

After that, he looked at Lille again: "And this, I know you, you are Professor Connors' current investor.

Seriously, I should be angry about this, but I hope we can work together again in the future - people like you are always welcome at Osborne Group. "

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and Lille took his hand.

If Norman Osborn wasn't the Green Goblin.

He is also a serious capitalist.

Be cautious about contact.

Lear kept smiling and shook hands with Norman: "I have long admired you, and I am also very happy to meet you. Regarding Professor Connors's choice - I hope you can understand that I am Professor Connors's partner, not investor.

We would prefer to complete independent research and development. "

"Of course I understand. I'm also a scientist - I'll excuse you now. I still have a lot of work to do today."

"certainly."

Watching the Osbornes and Parker get into the car, Lear had many thoughts in his mind.

There are rumors that the Osborne Group is in bad shape. 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 was very enthusiastic towards Peter, as always.

"Peter, you are getting better and better now. Professor Connors has always been an authority on cross-species genetic modification. Even if I want to invite him to our company, I can't impress him.

Unlike some people, he may not even know what cross-species genetic modification is and what it can do.

Do you want to explain? "

In the back seat, Harry rolled his eyes: "Please, do you want to give me lessons now?"

"You should know what your friends are doing instead of just sitting around and helping out in college."

Apparently, the relationship between the Osbornes was not that harmonious.

Peter naturally doesn't pay attention to these, or he knows it, but he doesn't know how to deal with it. The more common situation is to follow what the other person says.

Coupled with the major breakthrough in the experiment, he was indeed very excited and wanted to share it with his good brothers.

"Harry - this is really cool, you know? Professor Connors actually succeeded in making an iguana that was 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 - no one cares about the lizard, okay? Are you from my side?"

"Well it looks like I'm getting somewhere - but Harry, that lizard is really cool, do you like seeing dinosaurs?"

Harry took pictures of Peter: "Still lizard - free up your time tomorrow night, I will take you to the dance - Gwen will be there too, don't be late!"

"Prom? Me."

"Stop it, get your clothes ready!"

The car stopped, and before Peter could say anything, Harry slapped Peter on the butt and kicked him out.

When Peter got out of the car and the car had walked for a while, Norman suddenly asked the driver to stop, and then quickly chased after him.

"Peter!"

Norman caught up quickly, and Peter looked confused when he was stopped.

"Peter--I have something to tell you."

"Speaking."

"It's Harry's problem." Norman paused, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak, and looked very troubled, "He has the same hereditary disease as his mother."

Peter was stunned: "But he never told me."

"He doesn't know it, but as he gets older, the disease will catch up with him."

Norman said very seriously: "Cross-species genetic modification is not just a project of the company, it is also my investment to cure Harry.

That’s why I invited Professor Connors to take over this project, because I was really afraid that one day Harry would become like his mother——

In fact, his body was already changing, but he couldn't detect the subtle changes yet. "

Peter was confused.

He lost his parents when he was young, which made him somewhat withdrawn and had few friends. He didn't get better until middle school, but he was bullied because of his nerdy image.

Harry was his only friend, almost as close as a brother.

"I really need this research to come out," Norman continued.

Peter was just dumbfounded, but not stupid. His expression became tangled and frightened: he was afraid that Norman would immediately tell him to steal research materials.

But Norman didn't say that, he stared at Peter's face: "Listen, Peter, I'm not asking you to be a spy, I just...

If your project makes progress, I'm willing to invest - that's what I planned from the beginning, but Professor Connors rejected it.

Think about the progress of this project. It will not only save Harry, but thousands of patients--

You guys are going to be heroes, I just hope this goes faster, I hope it heals Harry faster. "

Peter didn't know what to say.

But every word Norman said struck a chord in his heart——

He could save Harry like a hero and save thousands of patients.
