"Spider-Man's continued rise in visibility is sparking national discussion about the impact of civilian vigilante justice on the United States government's fight against crime..."

"He saved dozens of lives on the Manhattan Bridge last night. Call me and tell me what you think!"

Citizen who called the hotline, "I think this city would be doomed without Spider-Man."

Host: "Who do you think is paying for the damage he caused, huh? It's you and me, the taxpayers!"

United States Atomic Energy Research Center, new alloy materials laboratory.

The dazzling Arclight flashed past behind the thick observation window, and the temperature reading in the furnace instantly soared to a terrifying value.

"Mr. Peter is stopping a juvenile bullying incident in the alley of Brooklyn. The victim is an eight-year-old boy. He is very thin, but has strong manual work ability. He once won an A+ in the class homework evaluation..."

Aurora is reporting the movements of Spider-Man in real time on Miles.

"You don't have to describe it to me so clearly, Aurora." Miles stared at the complex energy curve on the main screen without raising his head. "Spider-Man's daily life is always very busy. There are too many people in New York's day who need his help."

"I'm just sighing, Miles..." Aurora said, "Mr. Peter's energy is really strong to an incredible level. He has so many people to help every day, and he also needs to take care of his own personal life. Isn't he afraid of schizophrenia in the long run?"

"What does this mean? There is an even crazier lunatic in Gotham city next door. That is a model of schizophrenia."

Miles curled his lips and continued, "Okay, record this set of data and start the second smelting."

"Command confirmation." Aurora's voice instantly switched back to the working mode, "The second 'Secondary Adamantium' smelting experiment begins!"

Under the control of Aurora, everyone in the new alloy materials laboratory began to get busy. Under the subtle influence of Miles Mind Stone, they each performed their duties and started working according to the experimental plan.

Yes, Miles is trying to develop "Adamantium" in this world. To be precise, it is "Secondary Adamantium".

X-Men There are indeed not many unique technologies in the world, but "Adamantium smelting technology" is definitely the most important one. This is something that even the MCU next door does not have. Celestial Although the thing extracted from the remains of Tiamut is also called "Adamantium", it is obvious that the formation processes of the two are completely different. As for which one is stronger and which one is weaker, it is difficult to say.

In the X-Men world where Miles is located, the source of Adamantium is "William. Stryker" who researched and refined an extraterrestrial meteorite, the resulting special alloy is also the source of the claws and skeleton of Wolverine. In the current world, because there is no relationship with the meteorite, it is basically impossible to perfectly reproduce Adamantium.

But "Secondary Adamantium" can be tried. Although it is much weaker than real Edelman alloy, it is undoubtedly far superior to other conventional metal materials on the earth.

Miles has to admit that this Atomic Energy Research Center with the official name is simply a super factory tailor-made for him. No matter what Miles wants to study, he can quickly find a suitable place here.

As long as he dares to think, this place can provide top-notch resources and talents. And this group of top scientists, under the coordination of his Mind Stone power, has turned into a supercomputer with extremely high efficiency.

As the last set of data stabilized, the flashing red light turned into a steady green light, and the furnace entered the automatic maintenance stage.

"Okay, Aurora, let's go."

After the alloy smelting experiment was on track, Miles got up and left.

Like Spider-Man, he is also very busy because he wants to study something far more than just a "Adamantium formula".

High Performance Fibers and Composites Laboratory.

Precision instruments were running silently. Dozens of top researchers were like the most precise gears, busy at their respective posts in an orderly manner. The entire space was so quiet that only the low hum of the machines remained.

Miles tapped his fingertips, and suspended on the holographic projection screen in front of him, a set of smooth-line, technologically-sounding battle suit designs were slowly rotating.

"This design is good."

Miles looked at the design of the new battle suit in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

After obtaining the design information of Osborn Group's various special combat uniforms, Miles is ready to combine his original technical reserves to redesign a set of enhanced combat uniforms for himself.

The current name is tentatively "Psypoint Suit".

In Miles's imagination, this will be a comprehensive combat system that can freely appear in various extreme environments and provide a variety of tactical assistance functions.

If we were still in the world of X-Men, it would be a fantasy for Miles to want to engage in such a big battle.

The areas involved were so wide that the government at the time wanted to put a 24-hour surveillance on his head, not to mention that his power of Mind Stone, which had not yet reached its peak at that time, was simply unable to control an entire top research center as it is now.

But now, Miles undoubtedly no longer has to worry so much.

This is a brand new world. No one knows about his existence. Alpha-level and Mind Control are enough to ensure that this entire research center becomes his back garden, allowing him to do whatever he wants.

His gaze penetrated the wall, as if he could see the scenes of other laboratories in the center.

In the Aerial Robot Laboratory, the prototypes of "Flying Skateboard" and "Flying Dragon Drone" are undergoing preliminary design.

In Magnetic Confinement Nuclear Fusion Laboratory, the electromagnetic sniper rifle code-named "X0-Death" is about to reappear in this world.

The new medical center, inspired by Lizard Connors, is giving birth to a new "Enhancement Serum" project.

Not to mention the "Time Controller Decryption" project in High-Energy Particle Laboratory, which is still in the theoretical conception stage but is enough to subvert the entire world.

To put it bluntly, because of the arrival of Miles, the entire "United States Atomic Energy Research Center" began to revolve around him.

Under this unprecedented inclination of resources, Miles feels that his technical experience is growing at a terrifying speed.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood what the old guy Obadiah once said.

"In the end, individual research achievements are limited. Even a genius will be unable to make progress without sufficient resource accumulation and experimental data support."

The difference between working behind closed doors and leading a huge scientific research empire is huge.

It's no wonder that those superheroes and villains on the technological side like to open a company first for their own research. Without money and resources, no matter how powerful their wisdom is, they can only rot in their minds.

"Aurora, do you think it is necessary for us to open a company in the future?" Miles asked.

"I think it is necessary, Miles." Aurora replied, "You can't use Mind Stone's power to control their lives."

"Okay, I will consider it in the future." Miles nodded, "Are you interested in being my CEO then? I probably don't have much interest in managing specific affairs. I can't think of a more suitable candidate except you for the time being."

"I am Data Life, Miles." Aurora said, "Do you really want to appoint a 'non-existent person' to help you manage the company?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll just make a suitable body for you when the time comes." Miles said casually, then shook his head, "Forget it, it's too far. Please help me check the itinerary. Where to go next?"

"According to your plan, we should go to visit Mr. Adrian next."

New York State Establish a prison.

Dr. Adrian·Toomes, who served two years in prison, was released on bail.

"Are you my new employer?"

Dr. Adrian, who looked just like Vulture, looked at the young man in front of him with some uncertainty. If he guessed correctly, the person in front of him might not be fifteen years old yet.

"It's me." Miles said as he moved forward, motioning for Adrian to follow, "I have brought you a new job, Professor Adrian, but first, I think we should have a technical exchange first so that I can be sure that you are qualified for what I expect of you."

"As it should be." Dr. Adrian nodded.

"First of all, I want to confirm something with you." Miles asked, "Regarding the design of 'Electromagnetic Anti-Gravity Wings', was it you who handed it over to Osborn Group?"

"No, that was a good thing done by my former partner 'Gregory Bestman'." Dr. Adrian said gloomily, "I invented that set of flying wings, but Bestman also emptied the company. They framed me and sent me to prison. Then they sold my hard work to Osborn Group and made a lot of money. Now I should be vacationing in a manor in some small Eastern Europe country."

"Allow me to express regret for your experience, but I promise that you will get a chance for revenge." Miles nodded towards Dr. Adrian, "But first, how about we go over there and have a cup of coffee?"

In Starbucks on the street corner, Miles and Dr. Adrian had an in-depth exchange of views on the field of "anti-gravity electromagnetic technology" while drinking coffee. Not surprisingly, Dr. Adrian is indeed powerful, and Miles was particularly surprised by many of the ideas he put forward.

Although it is far inferior to Dr. Otto Octavius, it is still a rare talent.

"It's a pleasure talking with you, Mr. Adrian." Miles clapped his hands, "Congratulations, you are hired. You can go directly to work at Atomic Energy Institute tomorrow."

"I'm deeply honored." Adrian nodded, and then said doubtfully, "But, Mr. Miles, can you tell me who you are?"

"Well... just think of me as the temporary head of the research center." Miles waved his hand.

After bidding farewell to Dr. Adrian... that is, the possible super villain "Vulture", Miles immediately went to contact the next target.

Also imprisoned in prison are "Lizard" Kurt·Connors.

Prison area for serious offenders.

The air here is much more oppressive and heavier than the ordinary prison area where Adrian was previously imprisoned. The iron doors and walls seem to be soaked in despair.

Miles met Kurt·Doctor Connors, a former genius in biology.

He was wearing prison uniform and looked much more haggard than Dr. Adrian. His gray hair was messy and his eyes were dull.

At the same time, the most eye-catching thing is his empty right sleeve.

"I can make your arm grow back."

These were the first words Miles said when he met Doctor Connors.

"Huh..." Doctor Connors took a deep breath, then looked at Miles and said hoarsely, "You don't want me to do anything too extreme, right?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

So, soon, Doctor Connors was also released on bail.

Alpha-level Other Mind Control, from a social perspective, there are not many things in this world that Miles cannot do.

In the following days, Miles's life became extremely fulfilling.

During the day, he presided over several cutting-edge projects at Atomic Energy Research Center, integrating the wisdom of thousands of top scientific researchers with the power of Alpha-level and Mind Stone, making the progress of projects such as "Psypoint Suit" and "Flying Skateboard" progress rapidly.

At night, he transforms into a "talent recruiter" and looks for those "potential stocks" that will stir up troubles in the future.

Hollywood, a low-cost studio.

"That's right, trust me! I'm the best special effects artist in America!"

Quentin. Baker (Mysterio) worked hard to sell his special effects technology to Miles, but Miles had no intention of paying.

"Excuse me, Mr. Quentin."

"This is my latest research and development High-Frequency Vibration Gauntlets, which can launch the extremely destructive Shockwave. It only costs one hundred thousand... no, two hundred thousand dollars!"

Herman Schultz (Shocker) introduces his latest weapon to Miles.

"Five thousand!"

"Deal!"

So Miles just paid the money and left.

"Are you my client?"

Mack. Jagan (Scorpion) held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the boy in front of him. He really couldn't understand what such a young child was doing with a private detective like him.

"It's okay." Miles shook his head and hit the Snap casually.

Then Mack's eyes froze, and when he came back to his senses, he had forgotten everything.

"No, Ryan... don't do this!"

Felicia Hardy (Black Cat) desperately tried to push away from her friend's arms, but she couldn't break free at all!

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that the other party's movements stopped, and then stood up with a blank expression and silently walked out of the room.

"Hey, Peter, are you still following Gwen like a peeping tom?"

Today at the intersection, Miles and Peter Parker met by chance again.

"No!" Peter denied, "Miles You know, we have broken up, I will not do that kind of thing!"

"Okay, okay." Miles expressed understanding and then added, "But recently I heard people say that Flash Thompson seems to be a little close to Gwen recently."

"Impossible!" Peter denied, "I watch Gwen go home every day, there is no such thing!"

Midtown Science High School, Library.

Miles looked at the old man who was packing books in front of him and asked carefully, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Stan Lee?"

"Ah?" The old man was a bit deaf, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Stan Lee."

"Are you looking for Shit Dan. Li?"

"It's Stan Lee!"

"Is it Stanley?"

The old man looked confused.

In just a few days, Miles contacted "Quentin. Baker (Mysterio)" and "Herman Schultz ( Shocker)", "Mack. Gagan (Scorpion)", "Felicia Hardy (Black Cat)"...

Among these people, Quentin and Herman are just villains with some skills. Miles stopped paying attention to them after learning about their memories.

Mac Gargan is a normal private detective and sees no abnormalities for the time being.

Felicia Hardy is just an ordinary girl at present, and there is no abnormality.

In addition, Miles also initially became friends with Peter Parker through the secret of Spider-Man.

Then, as Aurora further gathered information from around the world, Miles finally found traces of a special guy.

Africa, wilderness.

A lion in its prime roared unwillingly, but in the end it slowly lowered its proud head under the hands of Sergei Kravinov (Kraven the Hunter).

However, just when he was about to completely tame the king of the prairie, a senseless chill ran up his spine and up his head.

[Danger!]

Sergei frowned and subconsciously let go of the hand holding the lion, only to find that the male lion that was struggling just now not only did not escape, but instead pressed its body lower, and let out a whimper representing extreme fear in its throat.

Something's wrong!

Sergei instinctively wanted to grab the hunting spear at his side, but found that his arm did not move at all.

He tried to turn his neck, but it was as stiff as iron.

He wanted to roar, but his vocal cords couldn't vibrate at all.

His consciousness is extremely clear, but his body has completely become a prison!

At this moment, this legendary hunter, who had long removed the word fear from his dictionary, finally felt the long-lost horror.

Soon, a figure appeared from the horizon.

Under his feet was a dark skateboard-like aircraft, which silently cut through the sky at an astonishing speed, hovering in front of him in just a few dozen seconds.

The person who came here looked like a teenager, wearing a full-coverage black battle suit, full of futuristic technology, and incompatible with this primitive grassland.

"Not bad willpower, Mr. Sergei." Miles slowly landed in front of Sergei, carefully looked at his body up and down, and reached out to squeeze his muscles, as if he was admiring a collection.

This move made Sergei's soul tremble with rage. This was the greatest shame and humiliation he had never suffered in his life!

However, he could do nothing but express the silent Frenzy with his eyes.

"Relax, Mr. Sergei, don't tense your muscles so much." Miles said, taking out a syringe as thick as a small arm, "I just want to collect some of your blood. It won't kill you soon."

Kraven the Hunter, Spider-Man series are one of the most famous "superhumans" besides Spider-Man himself, and are undoubtedly top materials for genetic research.

For Miles, he does have a moral bottom line, but not much. Therefore, sneak attack on Spider-Man will make him feel guilty, but this guy will not.

With this in mind, Miles inserted the syringe into Sergei's vein.

The red blood was quickly withdrawn from Sergei's body, gradually giving him waves of dizziness and weakness.

More than a minute later, Miles pulled out the syringe, looked at the full harvest inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

He put away his things and waved to Sergei who couldn't move.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. I wish you a happy hunting, Mr. Sergei."

The next moment, Sergei felt a sharp pain coming from his brain, his vision went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.

Memory wipe.

When he woke up again, the sun had already set.

Half of the body was a little sore and weak, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.

"... What happened just now?"

Sergei hit his head hard and tried to recall it, but his mind was blank. It was as if that memory had been erased from his life with an eraser.

He looked down at his arm, only a tiny pinprick that was almost invisible.

"Am I being attacked?"

After realizing this, Sher fell into Frenzy.

Someone attacked him, took his blood, and erased his memory!

Who is it!!

The next day, Miles, who returned to the research center, immediately handed over "Kraven the Hunter blood" to Doctor Connors of the New Medical Center for analysis.

Then, he put on a white researcher uniform and came to High-Energy Particle Laboratory, which is one of the core areas even in Atomic Energy Research Center.

Today, an experiment that will go down in history will be conducted here.

"High-Energy Ion Pulse Experiment."

For "Quantum Technology" creations like "Time Controller" that are completely beyond human understanding in the current era, even Miles's own "Electronic Signal Manipulation" ability is difficult to crack, and the "information level" and "authority level" cracking methods have almost been completely eliminated.

Because the conventional method didn't work, Miles decided to change his mind.

No matter how special "Time Controller" is, it is still essentially a man-made device that requires the flow of energy. Miles's previous forced penetration by its own ability was indeed able to trigger a reaction. This proves that although the device's logical structure is extremely complex, its energy system is not impossible to influence from the outside. Unfortunately, those "Time Controller" units have completely crashed because they could not be unlocked for a long time.

Therefore, Miles decided to start directly from the "energy physics level" and use a stronger external energy source to stimulate it. That is, "forcibly induce its internal energy flow with high-energy ion pulses" and try to "force it on"!

Such an experiment may inevitably cause damage to "Time Controller" itself, but fortunately, there are eight of this thing Miles.

"Get ready to start."

Miles said, first placing the first "Time Controller" on the central support frame.

At the same time, all the researchers around were staring at Miles's every move.

Now, everything they do may be opening up areas unknown to mankind!

The leader, Dr. Otto Octavius, silently wiped his own sweat.

During this period of time, for the smooth preparation of "High-Energy Ion Pulse Experiment", as the main researcher, he has put in so much effort that others can hardly imagine.

"Get ready." After Miles stepped back to a safe distance, he ordered the console to start the startup process.

"3,2,1..."

"Start!"

"Buzz--!"

At this moment, the whole world lost its voice.

A pure white energy beam as dazzling as the sun shot out from the port of the particle accelerator and accurately bombarded the "Time Controller" in the center!
