Chapter 78: Making a Nano Battle Suit
In short, letting Flash be the captain is definitely not good news for Peter, because this guy likes to make trouble for him. Peter prefers to be inconspicuous and only show up when necessary, but because of Flash, his presence has been directly raised. There were several times when he wanted to sneak out or do something, but he couldn't get what he wanted.
"Sometimes I really should put this guy in the closet and let him cool down!" Peter thought with a hint of mischief.
The second thing is that the first dividend from the project he cooperated with Stark Group has been distributed. There are nearly 20,000 US dollars! Well, this amount is indeed insignificant compared to the size of Stark Group, even a little funny. But for Peter, it is definitely a huge sum of money!
And this is only the first payment, and it is only the profit from the "Spider Silk Optical Microscope Glasses". According to the message sent by Ms. Potts to Peter, this first dividend is just because they are in a pilot phase, and the prospect of this product is better than expected.
Now, more primary and secondary schools, personal laboratories, etc. have placed orders with Stark Group. Based on the order volume, the next share is estimated to be 10 times higher than this, or even more!
As for the actual application of the "SPC-120703 polymer biomass fiber material", they are still evaluating it and will pay Peter the copyright fee proportionally. In addition, Tony Stark specifically explained that all the money earned is after-tax and belongs entirely to Peter. He can use it freely.
On the day the dividend was distributed, Peter went to Aunt May to share the good news. First, this is something that can make Aunt May happy. Second, with this, he will be more open to using the Stark internship project as a cover in the future.
But soon, Peter found that he was too happy a little too early, and the money was not enough! This is what happened.
With the real incentive of money, plus the inspiration he got from the base of the Blond Spider-Man seen in the earth-1610B universe, Peter became more interested in scientific research.
So, in the next period of time when he didn't have to go to other parallel universes, Peter often went to the personal laboratory in Stark Group. But scientific research is not only time-consuming but also very expensive.
Yes, Stark Group provided him with a laboratory with many advanced pieces of equipment, but the equipment maintenance, material loss, etc. in the laboratory all require financial support from above. What Peter wants to do is not simple and requires quite a lot of resources.
Fortunately, now there is the September Fund that Iron Man promised to allocate to him to support him, so he can temporarily maintain it.
As for what he wants to do, it is actually nanomaterials, but not the kind on the battle suit given to him by Iron Man. Instead, it's the inspiration he got from Ms. Octopus.
Ms. Octopus's fluid mechanical tentacles are amazing. Under normal conditions, they will be completely compressed, and even if Ms. Octopus is wearing an ordinary research suit, they cannot be seen.
But when needed, these mechanical fluids will extend from the device behind them to form mechanical tentacles. Obviously, the most important technology among them is nanotechnology, but there should be more.
Nanotechnology, also known as micro-technology, is a technology that studies the properties and applications of materials with a structural size ranging from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers. In essence, it is actually a technology that uses single atoms or molecules to make materials. It is the product of the combination of many modern sciences.
Peter knew that Stark Group must have mastered some nanotechnology because there are some traces of nanotechnology on the spider suit given to him. For example, the looseness and tightness of the suit when putting on and taking off can be self-adjusted according to his body shape. But this technology is not advanced; it can only be said to be average.
In addition, during his research, Peter also saw some internal information of Stark Group and knew that their main focus on nanomaterials is nanometal. This is normal because Stark Group's original name is "Stark Industries". As a heavy industry enterprise, the processing and manufacturing of metal alloys is its main job.
Besides, Tony Stark, the leader and soul of Stark Group, is Iron Man. If Stark Group has any high-tech technology, it must be found in the Iron Armor. If you can't find it, it means that it is not top-notch enough, not worthy of the armor, or has been replaced by something better.
In the category of nanotechnology, it can actually be divided into six branches: nanophysics, nanobiology, nanochemistry, nanoelectronics, nanoprocessing technology, and nanometrology. Peter mainly focuses on the knowledge of these three dimensions: nanophysics, nanobiology, and nanoprocessing technology.
He used his own spider silk and that of several different Spider-Men as the basic structure of nanomaterials and found a unique nano spider silk material from it.
When a substance reaches the nanoscale, that is, in the range of about 0.1 to 100 nanometers, its properties will mutate, showing special characteristics that are different from the original atoms and molecules, and also different from the special properties of macroscopic substances.
For example, copper, silver, and other good conductors that originally have thermal and electrical conductivity at the macroscopic level will lose their original properties after entering the nanoscale, showing the characteristics of neither electrical conductivity nor thermal conductivity.
Spider-Man's spider silk is a "natural" original nanomaterial. After Peter's repeated experiments and processing, he found its characteristics.
He discovered that his original idea was right. Spider-Man's spider silk raw materials can not only be used as spider silk but also to make battle suits! Moreover, it is a real nano battle suit!
So Peter thought about how to use nano spider silk as the base material, and add some metal nano materials to improve the protection of key parts without affecting its own performance. Then he would make it into fluid mechanical tentacles similar to Ms. Octopus.
This way, he doesn't need to wear a spider battle suit every day or stuff it in his backpack. The former is always stuffy and uncomfortable to wear for a long time. Fortunately, he learned the trick of applying talcum powder from the Amazing Spider-Man B, which slightly increased the comfort.
But after applying talcum powder, he smelled good, so his classmates thought he sprayed perfume on himself like Flash. As for the latter, the risk of being discovered is a bit high. Although no one will come to rummage through the backpack under normal circumstances, what if they do?
Moreover, if he can make a set of his own battle suit, he can completely get rid of their surveillance, right? It is imperative to research and make a set of "fluid" nano battle suits!
