This Is Reality

Peter was waiting for Ben to get the car ready, thinking he might as well take a break, when Connors saw him coming and immediately pulled him into the lab with great joy.

Connors greatly admired Peter's intelligence.

Although the previous Lizard Serum was calculated using documents left by Richard Parker, his ability to understand the formula at a high school age is enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

However, the only thing that displeased Connors was that Peter was too lazy.

In this teenager's mind, the desire to become a Super Hero far outweighs the desire to become a scientist.

This made Connors extremely disappointed.

He even felt that Peter had betrayed his intelligence.

Just like Richard Parker betrayed their research years ago, leaving alone and never to be heard from again, he felt dissatisfied.

However, he also understood.

For a teenager, no one doesn't want to be admired and the center of attention, and Spider-Man's Superpowers are another of Peter's talents.

However, Connors did not think Peter had to choose one of them.

"Strength," Connors extended his left hand, clenched his fist, and then extended his right hand, clenching his fist, "Intelligence, those are your talents." Then, he brought his two fists together, representing the fusion of two different talents.

You should make comprehensive use of them, so as not to waste them.

"I'm just a little too busy sometimes." Peter shrugged. He didn't dislike studying and doing research, he just didn't have that much time.

Then, the two of them went into another laboratory.

Connors said, "The Self-Healing Serum is now quite advanced, but the production capacity can't keep up. We can build a new Ecopark when the time comes."

So what are your plans now?

Peter put his backpack away, changed into a white coat, then skillfully disinfected himself, put on a mask and gloves, and asked.

"Naturally, I intend to research other potions." Connors took out the Variable Device and reached into the incubation chamber next to him to grab a Chameleon.

Developing new drugs is no easy task, even with Variable Device, it is still a long and arduous journey.

First of all, the mutations caused by Animo's Variable Device would turn animals into giant monsters, but Primus is not a zoo, and they do not rely on this for revenue.

Connors' first step was to simulate a mutant state, and then target a single ability of the animal with mutations and enhancements.

This is why Self-Healing Serum can only enhance a person's self-healing abilities, not grant them Superpowers.

Because from the very beginning, Ben's mutation was simply the self-healing factor within the lizard's body.

"Eunice, simulation experiment data," Connors said, taking a small sample of Chameleon cells and placing it on the microscope stage.

"If the Grey Matter could help, the research would proceed much faster," he said.

However, in reality, Ben had already completely handed over the biotechnology project, especially reptile technology, to Connors.

Grey Matter is very smart, but he can't do everything himself, otherwise there would be no point in recruiting Connors.

On the other side.

Ben also refurbished Rust Bucket RV.

Among various levitation methods, he chose acoustic levitation.

This technology has existed for a long time, but applying it to cars to make an object weighing several tons fly freely and controllably is not an easy task.

In addition, how to deal with the destructive power of sound waves is also a problem.

Of course, this is not easy for Ben, but it is not impossible.

What really kept him busy was modifying the Rust Bucket RV.

He plans to equip the Rust Bucket RV with weapons and other propulsion devices, and to enable it to deform in certain areas to reduce wind resistance.

In his vision, the car's maximum speed must be sufficient to break through the atmosphere, meaning the Rust Bucket RV must also have the ability to move in space.

"It's a pity that Vibranium is hard to obtain."

He sighed.

If Vibranium weren't mostly controlled by Wakanda and not something you could buy even if you had the money, he would have considered using Vibranium Alloy to build the shell of his Rust Bucket RV.

"I think there's Vibranium in Antarctica too?"

After emerging from under the car and reverting to his original form, Ben took a sip of water, recalling a piece of information he had previously shared.

Antarctica Vibranium is Vibranium B, and can also be called Anti-Metal.

Unlike Wakanda Vibranium, this type of Vibranium does not absorb vibrational waves; instead, it emits special vibrational waves to destroy other metals.

Even Adamantium cannot withstand the vibrations of Anti-Metal; its internal molecular bonds will be broken, and it will then turn into a liquid.

Clearly, Antarctica Vibranium is not suitable for making protective gear, but if used properly, it can be used as a weapon.

The problem is that it is not easy to mine large quantities of Antarctica Vibranium.

It's not that the development is too difficult, but rather that it's very difficult to avoid being discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D.. or even other countries.

"It would be best to create an invisible force field first." Ben thought for a moment, but decided to ignore that for now.

At least this car is much more defensively capable than Egghead Fury's car, and he wouldn't actually drive Rust Bucket RV into battle.

"It would be best to have a small lab where we can build equipment, just in case."

Just then, Peter and Connors, looking dejected, walked out of the laboratory.

Clearly, their experiment today yielded no results.

"The experiment didn't go well?" Ben asked.

Peter shook his head, slumped into a chair, and said, "It's completely unworkable. All the calculations are abnormal. I suspect it's fundamentally flawed. The formula for making Lizard Serum works completely differently on Chameleon."

Connors, however, was used to it. He comforted him, saying, "Failure is common, Peter. Sometimes you might work for years to make even a little progress, but once you succeed, it brings about a huge change."

But this explanation clearly failed to cheer Peter up immediately.

The sense of accomplishment he gets from conducting experiments is not as great as that from being Super Hero.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, right, Connors, Uncle Norman's lawsuit against the Green Goblin goes to trial next week. I think you'll be free soon."

Upon hearing this, Connors shook his head, not holding out much hope.

Cases like these sometimes take several months or even nearly a year to conclude, and the restoration of one's reputation remains a long way off.

"It won't take that long," Ben said, shaking his head. "The evidence is complete now. As long as Norman releases the evidence, he can clear your name."

As for the trial of Green Goblin, Ben had no hope whatsoever.

Those who want the Lizard Serum won't actually bring Green Goblin to justice.

Thinking of this, Ben took out the remote control for the neurotoxin and sneered.

That's why he deliberately left this as a backup plan. Whoever tries to rescue the Green Goblin will only get a corpse.

The thought that he wouldn't have to stay in the lab all the time made Connors feel much better.

At this point, Peter brought up his original purpose for coming.

Taking photos? Don't even think about it.

Ben rolled his eyes. "Come on, Peter Primus, while Price isn't making huge profits yet, the potion formula alone is worth hundreds of billions. You want a CEO like me to dress up as a model in a bodysuit for you to take pictures, just to earn a few hundred dollars?"

"Not to mention James has been constantly bashing Spider-Man in the newspapers; I don't have a penchant for seeking out criticism..."

He flatly refused Peter.

Peter wasn't too disappointed. He changed the subject. "Okay, but are you really planning to take this car to the show? It doesn't look futuristic at all."

"Of course not, this is for my own use. This summer, my family and I can go on a road trip," Ben said.

Cars that are to be exhibited at a trade show naturally need to have a different look.

Just like so-called futuristic concept cars, they need to have a futuristic look to impress people.

Soon.

The day of the court hearing had arrived.

Ben had little interest in this, or rather, he was indifferent, because he knew that Norman and Matt were well-prepared.

Their intention was never to subject Green Goblin to any particular punishment, but rather to seize each other's assets.

Unlike him, Peter very concerned about this lawsuit.

On one hand, the Green Goblin is the villain who attacked his good friend Harry; on the other hand, he also wants to see how the law will deal with this evil criminal.

Therefore, when the day of trial arrived, Peter and Norman went into the courtroom together.

His strong, powerful heartbeat immediately caught Matt's attention; the blind lawyer recognized him almost instantly as Spider-Man.

However, he didn't point it out, and instead greeted Peter as if it were their first meeting.

Peter didn't recognize Matt. He greeted him politely and then sat down next to Harry.

The two began to whisper to each other.

Both Harry and Peter believed that the outcome of this case was already predetermined; the Green Goblin would definitely be tried, it was just a matter of how severe the punishment would be.

In their view, Stromm is undoubtedly the Green Goblin, and all the other evidence of his crimes has been collected.

But reality surprised them greatly.

In court, after Matt, wearing sunglasses, listed all of Green Goblin's crimes, the lawyer defending Green Goblin immediately began to refute them, attempting to exonerate him.

Peter couldn't understand why anyone would defend Green Goblin when the evidence against him was so conclusive.

Why can he still stubbornly insist that his green skin is not due to the stolen medicine, but rather to a skin disease?

Why is it that he, a clearly heinous supervillain, could openly turn the tables in court, claiming that Matt and Norman discriminated against him because he had a skin condition?

He even turned around and accused Matt and Norman with an extremely arrogant and smug expression.

Matt remained calm and answered fluently throughout.

At the same time, he could sense Peter's confusion and anger through Peter heartbeat and breath.

He really wanted to turn around and tell him right away:

"Because of interests."

"That's reality, Spider-Man."
