Chapter : 6

Facing George Stacy's majestic gaze, even with the abilities of Spider-Man, Gwen couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

This was not due to the fear of the unknown, but from the natural suppression of her father's blood.

However, it was not the first or second time that Gwen didn't go home after school like today. As a "habitual offender", she quickly calmed down.

Facing her old father's questioning, she answered very calmly:"I passed an internship project I applied for before. I have to participate in this internship project after school recently, so I came back a little late."

But Gwen's simple explanation obviously couldn't convince her old father who had already become suspicious of her.

So George Stacy kept asking: "What project? Why haven't mom and dad heard you're on a project?"

Seeing her father's state, Gwen also knew that if she didn't explain it clearly to him today, this matter would not be easily resolved.

Fortunately, what she said just now was not made up to deal with George. She really applied for an internship project not long ago.

It's just that the time she participated in this internship project was actually only the two hours after school.

The reason why she came back so late was, of course, because after the internship project ended, she transformed into Ghost Spider and went to the streets of New York to do justice.

"I participated in a non-profit research project opened to high school students by Oscorp Industries. The aim of this project is to provide high school students interested in scientific research the opportunity to gain early access to information in this field."

"As for why you and mother don't know, it's obviously because you're too busy to care about my situation. Isn't this something you both as parents should ponder? Why do you blame me for not telling you?"

Gwen took the initiative, and coupled with her tearful and pitiful expression, George Stacy, who was always stern and impartial in the police station, softened his heart.

"Okay, okay, it's all your mom's and mine's fault. We've been too busy lately and neglected to care about you!"

"Oh, my precious daughter, please stop crying! Come and tell daddy, have you learned anything new in that project? Did anything interesting happen?"

Just like that, Gwen, with her quick wit, safely resolved a "disaster" that was about to befall her.

Gwen, who returned to the room safely, couldn't help but pat her chest, and was obviously relieved about the sudden situation just now.

Speaking of which, the reason why she applied for this internship program open to the public by Oscorp was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The fundamental reason was that the mutant spider that turned her from an ordinary girl into the ghost spider and gave her super powers during the visit that day came from Oscorp.

Out of curiosity about the source of her own abilities and out of curiosity about Oscorp's biological research project, after learning that Oscorp had launched a related internship program, Gwen proposed to come in without saying a word.

With his abilities and grades, his application was naturally approved, giving him the opportunity to legally enter Oscorp's laboratory.

After these days of investigation, she has obtained some key clues and learned that those mutant spiders all came from a research project led by Dr. Curt Connors.

Dr. Curt Connors was originally a talented doctor, but in the Vietnam War, he was recruited and sent to the front lines to perform operations on the wounded..

Unfortunately, the base where he was located was raided by local soldiers, and Dr. Connors accidentally lost his right hand in the attack.

As a doctor skilled in surgical skills, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to Dr. Connors.

However, he did not give up on himself and began studying biotechnology, hoping that one day he would be able to develop biotechnology that could regenerate human limbs through his own efforts.

God helps those who work hard, and Dr. Connors did achieve early results. That's why Oscorp, a company known for its biotechnology, was willing to set up a laboratory for him and fund his research.

According to the information Gwen collected on the Internet, she learned that the limb regeneration technology studied by Dr. Connors is a cross-species biological gene synthesis technology based on the genetic characteristics of other organisms.

The goal is to integrate genes with limb regeneration functions in other organisms into human genes through cross-species biological gene synthesis technology, and thus allows humans to gain the ability to regenerate limbs.

But even more Due to the intervention of Oscorp, Gwen did not search for detailed information and papers related to this research in a public scope.

In order to learn more detailed information about this project, Gwen decided to set a small goal for her next internship.

First earn... No, first find an opportunity to join Dr. Curt Connors' research group.

However, Gwen did not know at this time that Dr. Connors' research group, which she wanted to join with all her heart, had already been on the list of layoffs of Oscorp's senior management.

Because after so many years of research, Oscorp has invested a lot of money in this cross-species biological gene synthesis technology.

But so far, Dr. Connors still cannot come up with a research result that satisfies the board of directors.

No matter how promising a technology looks, if it cannot make money for the company, it is worthless garbage for these capitalists.

This can be seen from the research report submitted by Dr. Connors. It is still a long way to go for cross-species biological gene synthesis technology to be truly applied in clinical practice.

In this case, Oscorp certainly cannot invest endlessly in such a project that cannot see returns.

At this time, in the laboratory of Oscorp Industries, Dr Curt Connors sedang duduk dengan sedih di kursi, menatap kosong ke langit-langit di atas kepalanya.

This man, whom even war and disability could not defeat, now truly understands what it means to be "a penny can make a hero fall."

In fact, the fundamental reason why he was able to persist strongly for so many years was because he placed all his hopes on the cross-species biological gene synthesis technology project.

As long as this project is successful, he will not only be able to recover the disability of his right arm, but also get wealth and fame that will allow him and his wife to live without worries for the rest of their lives.

But now, all this will mean nothing with the Oscorp Industries project being cancelled, and Dr. Connors, who had always been calm, had fallen into a state of mental chaos.
