With the completion of Baymax's upgrade, they could now patiently wait for the Avenger's raid to Hydra's base in Sokovia and retrieval of the Mind Stone back to Avengers Tower.

After all, Hydra had clandestinely developed their influence through S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, and they had numerous secret bases scattered worldwide. It would take some time to locate and expose all of them.

Mark had no intention of directly revealing the information about Hydra's Sokovia base to the Avengers.

He needed to make some preparations in advance, considering the birth of Ultron and the appearance of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, so that he could maximize his benefits in this event.

Now that the crucial preparation, Baymax's upgrade, was completed, Mark had some time to fulfill his promise to Hawkeye and customize a set of specialized equipment for him.

First and foremost, the customized battle suit aimed to enhance Hawkeye's defensive capabilities and physical abilities. Given Hawkeye's remarkable marksmanship and combat skills, Mark did not design any shooting or combat assist functions for him.

Instead, the focus of the entire suit was on improving overall defensive performance and increasing Hawkeye's adaptability in various combat environments.

Regarding the defensive capabilities of the battle suit, it goes without saying that, with the combination of carbide materials and graphene nanofibers, it could ensure that Hawkeye remained in good condition during most battles and wouldn't suffer severe injuries.

Furthermore, to address dangerous emergencies, Mark incorporated an energy shielding system into the suit to provide Hawkeye with a final layer of protection, ensuring his survival on the ever-changing battlefield.

To enhance Hawkeye's combat adaptability in various conditions, Mark integrated some technologies used in Falcon and Black Widow's suits into Hawkeye's custom battle suit.

The first technology was a superconductive magnetic levitation anti-gravity device. As a sharpshooter, Hawkeye often needed to occupy high ground for a better attacking perspective. The anti-gravity device would help him avoid the risk of falling from heights.

Next were the all-terrain combat boots. These not only increased Hawkeye's mobility but also granted him the ability to traverse walls and surfaces like a skilled acrobat.

Thanks to the unique tension nanomaterial applied to the soles of the boots, they could generate a powerful adhesion force upon contact with solid surfaces like the ground or walls, allowing the wearer to freely move on vertical walls as well.

In addition to these practical features, there were several other details that significantly improved Hawkeye's combat strength and survival chances on the battlefield. However, he would need to spend some time familiarizing himself with and adapting to all the functionalities of the suit.

With the battle suit, Hawkeye's lower limit of strength was raised, and his self-preservation capabilities were enhanced. However, to truly achieve the power boost, he needed to upgrade his weapons.

Mark also upgraded and customized Hawkeye's high-tech arrows. In addition to the arrows provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., Mark added three types of special arrows to the arsenal.

The first type was the impressive Anti-Matter Annihilation Arrow, which had displayed its astonishing power during the Battle of New York. This weapon was more suitable for range attackers like Hawkeye than for other close combat-oriented Avengers.

The primary reason was the massive destructive range after the Anti-Matter Annihilation Arrow exploded. If used in close proximity, it would be a mutually assured destruction move.

The second type was a restraining arrow used to limit enemies' movements. It also employed an energy shielding device, similar to the special prison used to confine Loki aboard the Helicarrier.

Upon hitting the target or its vicinity, the arrow would release an energy shield, restraining the target within. The duration and effectiveness of the restraint varied depending on the strength of the target, making it a flexible tool for tactical use.

The last type of arrow Mark added was a highly lethal projectile designed for group or area attacks. He named it the "Arrow of Dominator," which indicated its similarity to the "Dominator gun" he had previously invented.

When this arrow hit an enemy, regardless of whether it was a direct hit or just a graze, it delivered a devastating blow that caused the target to explode, resulting in instantaneous death. It was a super deadly weapon with only a lethal mode and no anesthesia mode.

With improved defensive capabilities and enhanced attack methods, there was still one critical weapon for Hawkeye - the compound bow used to shoot these arrows and achieve lethal strikes.

Previously, Hawkeye had been using a special compound bow customized by Mark with carbide and graphene. The most significant advantage of this bow was its durability, which had been used since the Battle of New York without any damage. Hawkeye had not even needed to replace the bowstring.

However, while it was very sturdy and durable, Mark hadn't invested much effort into fine-tuning its performance or studying the coordination between the bow and the archer.

As a result, it suffered from problems like insufficient range and low shooting speed.

Though Hawkeye had overcome these issues with his superb marksmanship, it was clear that these limitations hindered him from fully unleashing his combat potential.

This was a crucial factor that Mark needed to carefully consider when designing the second-generation compound bow for Hawkeye. To do this, Mark asked Baymax to collect information and data related to spider silk materials before starting the equipment design.

He wanted to incorporate the most suitable material for bowstrings into the new compound bow design.

As fate would have it, after analyzing and organizing the data, Baymax concluded that the silk produced by the Black Widow spider had the highest strength among all known spider species.

Among the data collected by Baymax, it was mentioned that the Black Widow spider can produce two types of silk.

One type has excellent elasticity, capable of elongating by 27% without breaking, and its strength is twice that of the strongest known spider silk.

The other type has slightly inferior elasticity, but its strength is three to four times that of the strongest spider silk.

Whether it was fate or coincidence, there truly seemed to be an indescribable and marvelous connection between Black Widow and Hawkeye!

However, although the silk produced by the Black Widow spider was already the strongest and most resilient natural silk known so far, it still fell far short of Mark's envisioned requirements.

To obtain the ultimate bowstring material suitable for Hawkeye's compound bow, Mark needed to strengthen and upgrade the silk further.

For this purpose, he diligently studied various fields of biology and materials science and launched a brand new project named the "Little Spider Project."

For the enhancement of the Black Widow spider silk, there are two paths before Mark to choose from.

The first approach involves directly analyzing the material to identify the key factors determining the strength and toughness of the spider silk.

Through continuous experimental formulations, the aim is to find the optimal proportion that maximizes the strengthening of the silk's material properties.

The advantage of this method is that it yields experimental results in the shortest time possible.

For Mark, who possesses informational vision ability, there is no need for extensive material analysis. With just a glance, he can identify the crucial components.

Once Mark understands these components, he can continually adjust the proportions of the spider silk's ingredients relying on the feedback obtained through informational vision analysis. This allows him to expedite the silk's enhancement process.

Subsequently, using this formulated proportion as a template, Mark can chemically prepare the corresponding spider silk solution and continually produce the highest strength spider silk material on Earth.

However, despite its apparent advantages, this method also has significant limitations.

Even if Mark promptly devises the perfect formulation and completes the silk's enhancement, it cannot guarantee that the silk's strength will meet his requirements.

This is analogous to a chef preparing a dish; by continuously adjusting the salt ratio, they can determine the perfect level of saltiness. Yet, they cannot ascertain whether it is the most delicious dish until they try adding sugar to discover a different flavor.

Similarly, adjusting the proportions of existing components can enhance the strength and toughness of spider silk, but the outcomes are limited.

Without exploring the possibility of incorporating other components, one can never know if more perfect results could be achieved. Such experimentation is limitless, so few would be willing to undertake it.

The second method involves enhancing the spider itself, indirectly influencing the silk it produces, thereby achieving the goal of strengthening the spider silk.

Compared to the first approach, this method undoubtedly holds greater potential for enhancing spider silk. After genetically modifying or specially reinforcing the spider, the silk it produces will inevitably become stronger due to its own increased strength.

Based on this theoretical foundation, as long as Mark continuously empowers the spider, the upper limit of the silk's strength will also keep increasing.

After obtaining the reinforced silk that meets the required strength, Mark only needs to replicate the formula through chemical means and then perform the necessary proportions analysis to produce the required silk in bulk.

However, compared to the first method, the research period for this approach will undoubtedly be longer.

After all, once the spider is enhanced, it needs a certain period of adaptation to adjust to the bodily changes. Only then will the spider produce the most resilient silk.

After careful consideration, Mark ultimately decides to choose the second approach. This is because the second approach holds greater research value and potential.

The time invested by Mark in this method is likely to yield significantly larger returns in the future.

Moreover, Mark can confirm the spider's enhancement plan through a virtual lab before conducting corresponding practical operations. This can greatly shorten the time consumed on this project and accelerate the output of results.

Having chosen the research direction of strengthening the spider, the next step is to determine how exactly to enhance the spider.

In Mark's mind, there are numerous enhancement plans, all of which must undergo accelerated virtual testing in the virtual lab to ultimately select the most viable approach.

When it comes to enhancement, the first thing that comes to Mark's mind is the Super Soldier Serum, a special chemical solution that simultaneously enhances the body and mind.

Although it's uncertain whether it can have the same effect on the spider or how to make it produce corresponding effects, it doesn't hinder Mark's interest in exploring this method.

Next is the plan to use various variants of the Extremis Virus to achieve the "ultimate transformation" of the spider. Especially intriguing are the super variant "Key Virus," which unlocks genetic locks, and the "Heavenly Eye Virus," which grants visual superpowers to Mark.

Mark is highly curious about the changes these virus variants can induce in the spider and the potential evolutionary miracles they might bring.

There are also other approaches, such as using gamma radiation for mutations or directly modifying the spider's genetics through gene grafting technology. All these plans and methods made Mark eager to show his skills.

...

Submerged in the virtual lab, with the brain running at super-speed, Mark has already conducted more than two months of Black Widow spider enhancement experiments.

Due to the increased capacity of his body after multiple modifications and enhancements only half an hour has passed outside the virtual lab.

During this virtual period of more than two months, Mark has gathered abundant experimental data and finally determined the enhancement plan for the Black Widow spider.

The plan involves simulating the experiment process that turned Dr. Banner into the Hulk.

Mark intends to use the Super Soldier Serum on the Black Widow spider while subjecting it to high-intensity gamma radiation.

This will trigger the serum's maximum effectiveness under high-energy conditions, causing all the enhancement effects to act on the spider's body rather than its mind.

Since the Super Soldier Serum formula in Mark's possession is a product derived from his deductions and is the closest to Dr. Erskine's original formula.

The virtual testing ensures that the Black Widow spider won't turn into a "Green Widow" and become a dangerous and raging entity like the Hulk.

To improve the compatibility between the Super Soldier Serum and the Black Widow spider.

Mark has specially adjusted the proportions of its active ingredients to ensure that the spider won't experience abnormal cell proliferation or cancerous changes due to high doses of active substances.

After completing the work of virtual testing and formulating the experimental process in the virtual lab, the next step is to conduct actual tests on real spiders in the real world.

However, before that - "Max, contact Osborn Industries for me. I need to purchase a batch of state-of-the-art biological experiment equipment from them as quickly as possible.

Also, I heard they have been conducting research on spider genetic modification. Ask them if they have any live samples of the South American Black Widow spider. If they do, submit a purchase request to them as well.

If they don't have it, then I don't care how you do it, but make sure to contact reliable suppliers in the shortest time possible to provide me with what I need."

"Max understands, Master, please rest assured. I will certainly perform better than Baymax..."

Osborn Industries, a family-owned enterprise controlled by the Osborn family, is a large and powerful corporation that primarily focuses on the field of biotechnology.

They have also made significant contributions in the military industry. Even before Stark Industries withdrew from the military sector, Osborn Industries was already a major arms supplier, providing advanced weapons and combat equipment to the military.

Additionally, Osborn Industries sponsors research institutions at several top-tier universities and supports the personal laboratories of renowned scholars, facilitating diverse scientific collaborations.

For instance, the famous biologist, Dr. Connor, has been researching limb regeneration technology, aiming to grant humans the ability to regenerate limbs, similar to lizards.

Many research funds and major corporations consider this project to be far-fetched with no commercial prospects.

However, Norman Osborn, the Chairman of Osborn Industries, has shown keen interest in this research and eventually funded Dr. Connor to set up a laboratory and conduct the research.

Furthermore, in the field of nuclear power, inspired by the prototype of the Arc Reactor demonstrated by Howard Stark, the founder of Stark Industries, and the recent news highlighting the achievements of Tony Stark as Iron Man.

Osborn Industries has also started investing heavily in this area.

For example, they provided substantial funding to the eminent nuclear physicist, Dr. Otto Octavius, who specializes in atomic physics, to support his research on nuclear fusion.

In return, Osborn Industries gains all commercial development rights related to nuclear fusion technology upon the success of the project.

However, due to the significant financial expenditure on research in recent years, some discord has emerged within the board of directors of Osborn Industries.

The emergence of Mark's Research Center, has made their company's recent days even more challenging.

Mark's current procurement request, sent through Max, undoubtedly presents a significant deal for Osborn Industries. After all, the top-notch biological experiment equipment itself is highly expensive.

Fulfilling Mark's order will result in a cash inflow of hundreds of millions of dollars, which, even for a giant like Osborn Industries, is an enticing sum.

Furthermore, taking advantage of this opportunity to establish a relationship with Mark, who is highly regarded in the fields of technology and capital, is a great chance for Osborn Industries, which is facing a precarious business situation.

However, Osborn Industries' aspirations are destined to be in vain. Mark, who is entirely focused on his enhancement experiments and has all his attention directed towards it, will not waste any time dealing with Osborn Industries.

While Mark ultimately did not grant the senior executives of Osborn Industries an opportunity to meet and communicate.

They still quickly sent the requested experimental instruments and the live samples of the Black Widow spider to Mark's Research Center, considering the substantial amount of money involved.

After the experimental instruments were delivered, Max immediately commanded a large army of micro magnetic axis robots to begin the task of transporting and installation.

Soon, the originally spacious top-floor laboratory became somewhat crowded and chaotic after accommodating these large equipment.

However, for Mark, this was no big deal. The management team of his company had already discussed it in the quarterly meeting not long ago.

With the continuous growth of Mark's Research Center's business, the current six-story building within Stark Sci-Tech Park would no longer suffice to meet their future office and operational needs.

Therefore, under unanimous resolution from the management team, an application to construct a company headquarters building was submitted to Mark.

Given Mark's substantial financial capacity, he readily agreed to the decision collectively reached by the team without much consideration.

Although Mark's Research Center is a privately-owned enterprise without public financing or being listed, judging from its revenue scale and social influence, the current six-story building seemed inadequate for its status.

Moreover, the company's quarterly product launch events were currently held in rented venues. With their own headquarters in place, they could host these events on their own premises, saving costs and effectively promoting the company's image.

Ultimately, the most crucial aspect was that with the new headquarters, Mark would have a more spacious and brand-new laboratory, which excited him the most.

Moreover, with the micro magnetic axis robots as an infrastructure tool at hand, as long as the site is secured and construction materials prepared, building the headquarters would be a matter of minutes...

However, until the preparations for the new headquarters were complete, Mark would have to endure a bit longer and continue to work in this increasingly crowded laboratory.

All the purchased biological experiment equipment had been installed, and the samples of Black Widow spiders for the experiments were already arranged on the laboratory benches.

Mark's "Little Spider Plan" could officially begin. He temporarily assigned a code name, "R16," to the new spider species that would be born under his hands.

If the experiment proved successful, Mark would give it an official name later.

However, the first step of the experiment was not to work on these venomous spiders, but to renovate the current unsatisfactory laboratory.

This renovation did not involve tidying up the somewhat messy and crowded space. Instead, it aimed to add an energy shielding system on top of the already tight security measures to isolate the entire laboratory.

The transformation of these Black Widow spiders in the laboratory involved true cutting-edge genetic operations.

If these spiders accidentally escaped from the laboratory into the natural environment, it could potentially disrupt the ecological balance not just in the immediate area but even an entire region or continent.

Even worse, once the genes of these enhanced spiders are passed down through reproduction, a completely new and powerful species will be born.

This level of power would pose a threat that no natural predators could overcome, creating a biochemical crisis for the spider's prey.

For humans, without undergoing body modifications like Mark or possessing the innate strength of someone like Thor, being bitten by an enhanced Black Widow spider would be extremely fatal.

Without immediate treatment in a nutrient hibernation pod at a hospital, they wouldn't survive more than a few minutes after the bite due to the poison.

Therefore, taking stringent protective measures is highly necessary.

Otherwise, if an incident akin to a biochemical crisis were to occur or if these enhanced spiders were to escape and turn the entire human population into Spider-Men, it would lead to utter chaos in society.

After mastering the perception and application of magic, Mark had already moved away from traditional energy reliance.

Drawing from the artifact manufacturing techniques learned from Kamar-Taj, Mark could create an energy shield device that required no recharging.

It could fully rely on the magic he infused and autonomously absorb ambient dark energy, ensuring an extended operational time for the energy shield.

The laboratory's size was not large, making it relatively easy to create an energy shield to cover the entire area.

In a short amount of time, Mark completed the sealing modification of the entire laboratory, ensuring that no spider could escape the protection of the energy shield when he left the laboratory.

"Max, from now on, you will be in charge of managing the laboratory's security. Make sure that no Black Widow spider, whether enhanced or not, is allowed to leave this laboratory!"

"Understood, Master! Max will certainly accomplish the task you entrusted to me more perfectly than Baymax!"

Hearing Max's ambitious response, Mark nodded in satisfaction, implicitly approving its desire to compete with Baymax.

After all, Max's functioning was based on core code, and without inspecting its code, Mark's informationized vision couldn't gather any additional data from the virtual world.

So, Mark paid little attention to Max's competitive spirit. Instead, he saw it as a manifestation of a higher level of artificial intelligence.

After picking up an elongated pair of tweezers from the tool rack. Mark retrieved a Black Widow spider from the incubator on the workbench.

This was going to be the first formal experiment of the research project and also the first live experiment.

Carefully placing the spider sample into a specially designed transparent container, Mark quickly sealed the opening of the container using the tweezers. The container had a connecting hose for oxygen supply to ensure the spider specimen's normal survival needs.

Mark had intentionally designed and manufactured this transparent container to ensure the smooth progress of this experiment.

It aimed to prevent the enhanced spider from breaking through the limitations of conventional materials used in experimental containers after undergoing the enhancement process.

To maximize the strength of the transparent container, Mark utilized the latest high-strength organic polymer materials. This resulted in the container having a wall thickness of only 0.2 millimeters, capable of withstanding powerful rifle shots from a distance of 10 meters.

Furthermore, to enhance the security of the container, Mark also added magical runes using mystic arts, giving the seemingly ordinary transparent container a hardness surpassing that of diamond.

After placing the experimental spider, Mark pulled out two metal conduits from the newly added devices in the laboratory and connected them to the pre-prepared circular interface on the container.

At the other end of these two metal conduits was connected to a massive atomizer air pump. The pump's box was currently empty, but Mark would soon fill it with the diluted serum of the Super Soldier Serum after making adjustments.

Through atomization and pressurization by the air pump, the diluted Super Soldier Serum would be dispersed into a gaseous state and delivered into the experimental container.

Black Widow spiders had a pair of sac-like structures on their abdomen's anterior sides, which served as their respiratory organs, known as book lungs or pulmonary sacs.

When their blood flowed through these book lungs, gas exchange with the air occurred, absorbing oxygen while expelling carbon dioxide to complete the respiratory process.

Mark intended to utilize this characteristic of the Black Widow spider to allow the atomized diluted Super Soldier Serum to enter the spider's body through respiration.

Due to the spider's much smaller size compared to humans, the injection methods commonly used on humans would be almost lethal to spiders.

To ensure the experiment went smoothly, Mark had specially improved the experimental process and adopted this inhalation-based approach.

The inspiration for Mark's idea of this solution actually came from a "Spider-Man" movie he had watched in his previous life.

In the movie, Norman Osborn, an executive of OsCorp, used this atomization inhalation technique when testing the human enhancement serum on himself, resulting in his transformation into the Green Goblin.

This technique proved to be effective, evident from his successful transformation into the Green Goblin.

Furthermore, based on Mark's analysis, although the movie didn't explicitly mention the reason for Osborn and the military cooperating on this project, it was highly likely that they wanted to replicate the Super Soldier Serum, which had previously created the superhero Captain Steve Rogers.

In the end, Norman Osborn's research was successful because the Super Soldier Serum was originally designed to enhance the user's physical and mental abilities, both of which were clearly observed in his transformation into the Green Goblin.

Unfortunately, Norman Osborn's twisted mind led him down the wrong path, turning him into an evil and brutal criminal like the Red Skull, instead of being the admired superhero.

Despite Osborn's downfall, the success of his research in achieving the desired effects with the technology meant that it could be utilized in this experiment.

Soon, under the operation of the atomizer air pump, a continuous stream of diluted serum in mist form entered the experimental container and filled it.

As the mist entered the body of the spider through respiration, the behavior of the Black Widow spider started becoming abnormal.

Firstly, the originally calm spider became more active, constantly climbing and jumping inside the container, displaying great excitement.

Observing this, Mark immediately knew that the Super Soldier Serum had begun to take effect inside the spider's body.

He promptly pushed the gamma-ray generator, which had been prepared in advance, towards the transparent container and aligned its coverage with the entire container.

He then pressed the activation button.

In an instant, a large amount of gamma radiation was emitted and intensely irradiated the small spider inside the experimental container.

Under the influence of the gamma radiation, the spider's behavior became even more agitated.

Moreover, from the increasingly loud sounds of it colliding with the container walls, it was evident that the experiment had already produced a strengthening effect on its body.

As the gamma radiation continued to irradiate, the data probe inside the container displayed a continuous decrease in the concentration of the Super Soldier Serum mist.

With his informationized vision, Mark could clearly see that, in response to the high-energy radiation, the spider accelerated its breathing process, continuously absorbing the Serum in the container space, and reinforcing itself to the maximum extent possible.

After some time passed, the originally aggressive experimental spider gradually calmed down. According to the data inside the container, there was no further change in the mist concentration.

Seeing this result, Mark directly turned off the gamma-ray generator. He knew that the strengthening of this experimental subject had already concluded.

And looking at the small spider inside the experimental container, which still maintained tenacious vitality, there was no doubt that the result of this enhancement experiment was successful.

Next, it would be necessary to see if the Black Widow spider, enhanced through technology means, had any significant performance improvement in the production of its silk compared to before...

After undergoing high-intensity gamma radiation catalysis and the modified Super Soldier Serum, the Black Widow spider inside the experimental container has undergone tremendous changes compared to before the transformation.

Firstly, there is a change in its size. Just like Captain America, who transformed from a "skinny kid" to a "grown man" in an instant due to the miraculous effects of the Super Soldier Serum.

The enhanced Captain not only experienced significant physical improvements but also became tall and imposing, with a pair of round and bulging pectoral muscles that even Peggy Carter couldn't resist the urge to touch.

Similarly, after being enhanced with the spider-exclusive version of the Super Soldier Serum, this Black Widow spider has also undergone significant changes in size.

Mark chose an adult male spider with a body length of 6 millimeters, and with its leg span, it was only about 19 millimeters long.

However, after this round of enhancements, while the length of its body did not increase much, only growing to around 11 millimeters, its leg span increased significantly by half, reaching a length of 40 millimeters.

It transformed from an ordinary, unremarkable long-legged creature into a super long-legged creature!

The visible changes in this Black Widow spider not only pertain to its size. The color of its body has also changed dramatically compared to before the experiment, becoming more vivid and colorful.

Male Black Widow spiders are usually black-brown in color, with yellow stripes on their abdomen and a yellow hourglass mark.

However, after undergoing the enhancement experiment, this spider appeared to have undergone a full-body cosmetic procedure, as its entire body's main part changed from the original black-brown to a deep blue color with a metallic texture.

Moreover, the yellow hourglass-shaped mark on its abdomen turned from yellow to a dark red, and it extended outward from the abdomen to the surrounding area, giving it a unique overall appearance.

Mark couldn't help but feel that the color scheme of this successfully enhanced spider seemed very familiar.

"Isn't this the classic color scheme of the future Spider-Man Peter Parker's Spider Suit!

Speaking of it, after undergoing the enhanced transformation, the appearance of this spider really resembles the mutated spider that bit Peter Parker in the movie, turning him into Spider-Man.

I wonder if I should go to New York now and find Peter Parker and let this spider bite him. Will it turn him into Spider-Man...

Forget it, let's not get carried away with these random thoughts. The reason this spider has become so colorful after enhancement is ultimately because it has become more powerful.

With its bright colors, it can attract more prey, gain nutrition and energy, and because of its increased strength, it no longer fears attracting stronger predators."

"Once this Black Widow spider, which has already undergone significant enhancement, bites someone, the potent venom is no joke. I shouldn't let my whimsical thoughts lead to the demise of the future Spider-Man.

Moreover, my laboratory is heavily fortified, and it's thousands of miles away from New York. It's highly unlikely that this spider is the spider that will create the future Spider-Man.

I should focus on my experiment and test whether the spider can produce silk that meets my requirements."

Shaking his head to dispel the absurd thoughts, Mark refocused his attention on the spider in front of him.

Based on the data provided by Mark's information vision, this spider has undergone explosive growth in strength, speed, and overall physical capabilities after the enhancement.

As spiders are arthropods, its exoskeleton was further reinforced after the enhancement, making its defense almost twice as strong as steel, which provided the foundation for the growth in its physical capabilities.

The powerful exoskeleton allows the internal muscles of the spider to maximize their density without burdening the exoskeleton.

As a result of this highly efficient body enhancement, the spider's data in all aspects is nearly ten times higher than the average level of the Black Widow spider species.

Although this spider currently lies quietly inside the experimental container, appearing harmless and its vibrant colors may even be considered cute by individuals with peculiar preferences.

If anyone were to know its current physical capabilities and the toxicity in its venom glands, no normal person would want this spider species to be present in their living environment.

For this spider, once it's given a chance to escape, there would be no limits to its exploration. Even small-sized birds could potentially become its prey.

Its highly toxic venom could instantly render a strong and healthy adult unconscious, leading them peacefully towards death.

Fully aware of how formidable this spider has become, Mark left a "mark" on it before completely opening the experimental container, just in case it escapes from his sight and he needs to locate it again.

Then, Mark gradually opened the container until there was enough space for the forceps to enter and then stopped his actions.

Quick to act, Mark firmly clamped its bulging belly before the spider could react. This way, even if the spider struggled with all its strength, it couldn't break free once its core body part was grasped.

After confirming that he had control over the spider, Mark transferred it out of the experimental container.

At the same time, he picked up another pair of fine forceps and began to stimulate the silk glands of the spider's abdomen, inducing it to spin silk voluntarily.

Before long, unable to withstand Mark's continuous teasing, the spider began to release thin silk from its abdomen's silk glands.

Mark's eyes didn't miss this critical moment and immediately captured the specific data and components of the silk produced by the spider through his informational vision.

The instant he saw this data, Mark's lips involuntarily curled upward, clearly showing that this first experiment of the little spider project had yielded satisfying results...
