Inventions

Peter still did not return immediately this time.

He went back to Amazing Spider-Man's tiny workshop.

This battle had given him even more insight.

Not only into combat, but also into equipment.

He was Spider-Man, a mutant with strength far beyond that of ordinary people. That was true.

But if all he knew was how to rely on that strength, how was he any different from an animal?

As the largest animal in the world, a blue whale could grow over thirty meters long and weigh 180 tons. How great was its strength?

But what could it do with strength alone?

In the end, it could only be brutally hunted by humans.

So, as a human—especially one living in an age of technology—he had to be good at using technology to arm himself as well!

If he had possessed the high-tech suit from his own world tonight, capturing Doctor Lizard would have been at least thirty percent easier!

Most importantly, he now knew what Amazing Spider-Man excelled at.

Invention and creation!

Peter sat before the tiny desk in the tiny workshop, writing furiously.

At that moment, he was the combination of Peter's knowledge from a high-tech era and Amazing Spider-Man's outstanding inventive ability!

The two of them had arrived at the same idea without discussing it: first, earn their first bucket of gold.

And having just obtained data on the differences between the two kinds of webbing during the daytime experiment, Peter immediately put it to use.

After several hours of work, they finally succeeded in producing a decent polymer fiber material!

This material was a variant based on Amazing Spider-Man's webbing.

After testing, its performance proved superior to every currently known biomass fiber material in the Earth-120703 universe, Amazing Spider-Man's universe.

As long as he found a suitable partner, Amazing Spider-Man would definitely make a fortune.

As for Peter's own universe, he would have to wait until he returned to find out.

And that was not all.

They had also made an unexpected discovery during their research.

Their synthetic webbing was an excellent super-assist lens that could help ordinary optical microscopes break through their "vision" limit.

The process was simple. They only needed to use the webbing to form an airtight little disk, inject anhydrous alcohol into it, and create something like a pair of glasses to fit onto an optical microscope.

Through the webbing's refraction, the resolution limit of a traditional optical microscope could be pushed from 200 nanometers down to at least 100 nanometers!

It did not sound like a particularly great discovery.

After all, truly advanced laboratories used electron microscopes.

And electron microscopes had long been capable of magnification down to between 0.2 and 3 nanometers.

But this little invention had never been intended for those high-end laboratories. It was meant for schools, individuals, and small laboratories!

Although electron microscopes were extremely powerful, with the best ones capable of magnifying objects more than three million times and even directly observing the atoms of certain heavy metals and the orderly atomic lattices in crystals,

their requirements were correspondingly demanding.

First, they had to observe samples in a vacuum, making it impossible to observe living specimens.

Second, sample processing was difficult. If any structure not originally present in the sample was introduced during processing, even the slightest trace would greatly complicate later analysis once magnified three million times.

Third, three-dimensional objects were projected onto a two-dimensional plane for observation, which could sometimes cause image overlap and require repeated comparisons.

Fourth...

There was one more point: they were expensive.

Both purchasing and maintaining an electron microscope required a substantial investment.

For small laboratories, personal laboratories, and places like schools that needed equipment in large quantities, they simply were not cost-effective.

But the "optical microscope glasses" made from Peter's web lenses only needed to be fitted onto an optical microscope during use, increasing its magnification by two to three times and providing an ultimate viewing experience.

Wasn't that wonderful?

There was another crucial point.

This thing was disposable.

Since the webbing was biological protein, once the sterile package was opened and it was used, it could not be reused.

So as long as they could establish sales channels and sell it, they would never have to worry about future sales!

As for how to establish those channels,

the two Peters each had their own ideas.

Amazing Spider-Man decided to try his luck at the Osborn Group.

The Osborn Group already had numerous biological laboratories, and Doctor Connors's Lizard Serum was merely one of their research projects.

If he partnered with the Osborn Group, there should be no need to worry about what came next.

The only thing that worried Amazing Spider-Man was that his parents' disappearance more than ten years ago might have had some connection to the Osborn Group.

After Peter came here, he had deduced this from the available information using the reasoning ability he had acquired from Shadow Spider-Man.

Previously, he had thought that once he returned, he would never be able to come back, so he had written it down on paper and left it for Amazing Spider-Man.

There had been few clues at the time, so he had only left part of his deductions. But now, with Doctor Lizard's true identity exposed, the speculation had almost become fact!

Amazing Spider-Man's mutated Spider Gene had originated from a visit to the Osborn Group. That venomous spider had been the product of some cross-species genetic engineering project.

And that cross-species genetic engineering project seemed to have been terminated for some reason many years later, with no progress made since.

Later, the project was taken over by his father Richard Parker's former colleague, Doctor Connors.

After he provided Doctor Connors with the zero-decay-rate formula left behind by his father, Doctor Connors created the Lizard Serum and turned himself into Doctor Lizard!

This also proved that the zero-decay-rate formula was indeed correct and effective!

Once all of this was put together, one possibility surfaced: the Osborn Group's mutant spider project had been headed by his father more than ten years ago! It had been forcibly suspended only because his father left!

But why had his father suddenly left?

Could his departure have had something to do with the Osborn Group?

This series of new mysteries hung over Amazing Spider-Man.

And that was not all.

In a villa somewhere in New York City in Amazing Spider-Man's world, someone closely monitoring news of Doctor Lizard and Spider-Man received word not long ago that Doctor Lizard had been captured.

"I never expected the Lizard-Man to be Curt. So his cross-species experiment actually succeeded? Perhaps I should find a way to get him out—at the very least, obtain the results of his experiment!"

A new enemy, a new shadow, was closing in on Amazing Spider-Man.

However, everyone had their own journey, and everyone would write their own biography.

Amazing Spider-Man's story needed to be written by his own hand.

Because after Peter finished analyzing the situation for him, he had already returned to his own world.
