Observing the Web Fluid

Ned expressed great regret that Peter wasn't invited.

Undeterred, he began to repeatedly "torment" Peter.

—

First period, Math class.

Peter was pretending to listen attentively, but was actually contemplating what he could use to negotiate a partnership with Mr. Stark.

Just then, Ned secretly leaned over. "Have you ever met Tony Stark?"

"Of course, otherwise who would I be negotiating with?" Peter gave him a strange look.

Second period, English class.

Peter was still pretending to listen attentively, but was actually thinking about how he would find the Lizard Monster that was harming people all over the city when he went to see the Amazing Spider-Man that night.

At that moment, Ned nudged his back again. "When you complete a mission, does Mr. Stark say something like, 'Oh, Peter, you did great, this gold coin is your reward'?"

Peter: "Huh?"

Seriously, what are you even talking about?

Third period, Chinese class.

The teacher was standing at the podium teaching the students to say "one, two, three, four" and "thank you" in Chinese. Peter, meanwhile, was thinking about how to establish Parker Industries.

—Well, this guy had been zoning out since he got to school that morning, without stopping.

But he couldn't be blamed for it; these classes were just too boring.

He had only glanced at the material a few times, and he had already learned everything in the lessons, even coming up with more of his own understanding through analogy.

How could he possibly pay attention when the teacher was teaching him things he already knew?

Just as Peter was lost in thought, Ned's head leaned over again.

Peter glanced at the guy with excessive curiosity with a bit of speechlessness, thinking to himself that he absolutely couldn't let this guy know he was Spider-Man.

Just a so-called "Stark Internship Program" had sparked such intense curiosity in Ned.

If he found out about Spider-Man, wouldn't he be pestered to death? —

Fourth period.

Finally, it was Peter's eagerly anticipated Science class.

Their science curriculum was a comprehensive combination of subjects similar to China's physics, chemistry, geography, and biology. It covered a wide range of topics, including earth science, electronics, environmental science, forensic science, and more.

Therefore, the science class was divided into basic courses and advanced electives.

Generally, one only needed to choose the basic courses.

However, Peter had originally planned to pursue a STEM major in college, so he needed to build a solid foundation in high school.

Thus, Science was also one of the "required courses" he had chosen after enrolling.

And science, naturally, was inseparable from experiments.

Midtown High was well-funded, and the laboratory was equipped with a rich variety of experimental equipment and chemicals, almost comparable to some medium-sized private laboratories.

To facilitate student experiments, whenever something ran out, the school would immediately arrange for personnel to procure it, and it would be replenished quickly.

Peter had elected to take a materials science course, which would allow him to secretly use experimental chemicals to produce his web fluid when conducting material experiments.

This time, he had made two types of web fluid.

One was his original web fluid for his own use, and the other was the web fluid used by the Amazing Spider-Man.

He was very curious to see what the difference was between the web fluid used by the Amazing Spider-Man and his own.

Or if they were the same.

In fact, after discovering his spider-like abilities, he had specifically chosen to major in biological sciences and had carefully researched a lot of information related to spiders.

He learned that spiders were an extremely vast family, with numerous species. Different spiders could produce different silks, weave different webs, and had vastly different life strategies.

Even the same spider could produce multiple types of silk.

For example, a garden spider could produce 7 different types of silk.

Some were used for weaving webs, some for catching prey, some for escaping, and some for weaving egg sacs.

Given that spiders in nature were like this, how could the web fluid of each different Spider-Man be exactly the same when spider abilities entered the human body?

And if he could decipher the samples of different web fluids from different Spider-Men, study their mysteries, and understand the main factors causing these differences—morphological characteristics, amino acid composition and sequence, protein secondary structure, mechanical properties, biomechanical properties, and biological functions, etc.

Perhaps he could use this to develop a new type of bio-fiber material, used to create lighter, thinner, and more breathable bio-fiber clothing, lighter yet more durable bio-fiber ropes, or even as sutures for closing wounds after medical surgery, and so on.

Spider silk was, arguably, the natural fiber material with the most excellent comprehensive performance discovered to date!

Materials science had always been one of the most critical components of modern science. Polymers, inorganic non-metallic materials, metallic materials, composite materials, etc., were applied in all aspects of modern human life.

Its industry prospects were excellent!

And this was what Peter, after racking his brain for several class periods, could think of that he could truly collaborate with Tony Stark on!

Tony Stark himself had said that Peter's homemade biological web fluid was something even he marveled at.

A biological material that could earn praise from Iron Man should be enough to make his first fortune, right?

Peter knew that the gold-titanium alloy used in Iron Man's Iron Man Armor was actually a high-strength alloy created by Iron Man himself.

After Stark Industries abandoned the lucrative weapons manufacturing industry, how could it still maintain such a massive scale?

Ultimately, it came down to three areas.

Materials, energy, and medicine!

Energy referred to the Arc Reactor used in the Iron Man Armor, as well as the super-large reactor built in Stark Tower. It wasn't just the clean and massive energy output of the reactors, but also technologies like high efficiency and low consumption during energy output, all related to energy.

This alone was enough to make Stark Industries a major player.

In terms of medicine, Stark Industries owned numerous hospitals and possessed many medical laboratories, even featuring black technology like the "Cradle of Life" which integrated nanotechnology.

As for materials, besides the gold-titanium alloy used in the Iron Man Armor, there were also polymer composites, nanomaterials, and so on, all of which were also Iron Man's technologies.

Peter didn't dare to think about anything else for the time being.

But making web fluid was his specialty.

Peter skillfully followed the two formulas in his mind to produce his own web fluid and the web fluid for the Amazing Spider-Man separately. He then placed them on slides, creating web fluid specimens, and observed them under a microscope.

Under the Olympus C-35AD optical microscope, the biological characteristics of the web fluid were well displayed.

Peter also discovered that there were indeed differences between the two types of web fluid!
