At the same time, the laboratory lights flickered once, then the lights throughout the entire lab quickly switched to power-saving mode.
"The power's out. The entire building has lost power, except for a few important areas being supplied by small generators." Connors read the message Norman had sent over.
"It's fine. We're almost done."
Shen Fei had finally found the portions of the genes where the spider, spider eggs, and Peter differed most. This was where the spider genes and human genes failed to mesh.
"But we need to start cultivating them from the spider eggs?
Otherwise, who knows how long it'll take for the spider venom to emerge."
Connors had originally wanted to say something else, but Shen Fei's words drew his attention. He hurriedly said,
"The most crucial difference lies in the spider eggs."
In a short time, Shen Fei found the uniquely expressed protein produced in the genes after the spider eggs became Extraordinary Spiders. It was the spiders' venom.
This venom injected the Extraordinary Spider's genes into a compatible body.
It could grant the bitten person the Extraordinary Spider's power.
But the problem was that this mutation had to be cultivated before the spider egg became a spider to achieve that effect. Although spiders matured quickly, it would still take some time.
How could they wait that long?
"Richard didn't possess such advanced gene-splicing technology back then. We can modify the genes of a spider whose venom has been drained, cut out part of its genes, and replace them with mine.
The venom it produces next time will be compatible with me.
Unfortunately, we still haven't calculated the crucial Decay Formula for the drug. We can't determine the changes in Spider Serum concentration.
Otherwise, we could simply formulate the medicine directly."
"That formula might be in
