After more than ten days of research, Ye Hai discovered the secret of Spider-Man. It turns out that Peter's ability to become Spider-Man was not a coincidence; it was due to his father.
Ye Hai's research revealed that animal genes and human genes are two different species' genes that are inherently incompatible. Injecting human beings with animal genes would only result in a transformation into an animal form, much like how Dr. Connors became a lizard man. To maintain human form, it is necessary to adapt animal genes to human genes, and the solution lies in cultivating animal genes. This cultivation involves using the user's own genes as a template and selecting the desired animal genes for fusion. Once the animal reaches maturity, its genetic material can be extracted for use.
This technology was developed over a decade ago by Peter's father, Richard Parker. He cultivated a special breed of spider using his son's genes as a template, continuously updating and perfecting the species over the years. After more than a decade of work, he finally succeeded. At that time, Peter happened to be in Osborn Tower and was bitten by one of these specially cultivated spiders, which resulted in a perfect fusion of the spider's genes with Peter's body.
Peter's transformation into Spider-Man was actually the result of his father's scientific research, effectively undermining Osborn for over ten years. While Osborn spent years cultivating spiders, he ended up producing results for someone else. The genes of these specially cultivated spiders were based on Peter, which means they only work for him; anyone else using these spider genes would simply turn into a monster.
Ye Hai deduced all of this after he developed a method for the perfect integration of animal and human genes. He was convinced that his conclusions were nearly indisputable.
"Ding! Host has discovered the method for the perfect fusion of animal genes and human genes. Task completed. Reward: 10,000 science points."
With the discovery of Spider-Man's secret, the system prompted him for task completion.
Upon hearing the system's voice, Ye Hai could only smile wryly. While he fully understood the method for the perfect fusion of animal and human genes, the problem was that achieving this would require cultivation efforts similar to those of Peter's father, which typically takes a long time--often ten to twenty years.
Ye Hai had no time to waste creating another Spider-Man; he would prefer to research mutant genes instead, as mutants are still human, and their genes do not conflict with those of ordinary people.
Thinking of mutants, Ye Hai felt a surge of excitement. Many mutant abilities were incredibly appealing to him, such as Wolverine's regeneration, which could grant immortality, Professor X's telepathy, and Storm's ability to control rain and lightning. There were countless possibilities.
Now that he resolved the issue of perfect gene integration, Ye Hai felt like he had struck gold, making it easier to merge mutant genes, just like a Sentinel robot could effortlessly integrate mutant DNA.
Laughing aloud, Ye Hai felt exhilarated and no longer troubled by the idea of becoming another Spider-Man.
"Where is the Mutant Academy? If only I could access some mutant blood," Ye Hai murmured with regret.
"Mutants?" Gwen, who had been paying attention to Ye Hai, immediately interjected, "Are you interested in those... monsters?"
"Of course," Ye Hai nodded, expressing his admiration, "just look at the mutants and their incredible abilities: flying, breathing fire, turning invisible, and even immortality. If we could harness such unbelievable powers, humanity would undergo a tremendous evolution!"
However, Gwen disagreed with his viewpoint. She shook her head and said, "But mutants are dangerous. They often act recklessly, breaking laws and frequently harming ordinary people. People dislike them very much..."
Ye Hai frowned slightly and replied, "This is just a process of two races trying to understand each other. Mutual misunderstanding and distrust eventually evolve into conflict, even war. Such things are inevitable. We are scientists; we shouldn't concern ourselves with societal ethics or morals. What we need to focus on is the extraordinary abilities of these unique beings."
Gwen smiled and said, "If you're interested in mutant genes, you can go to the biological repository and get some samples for research."
"What? We have mutant blood at Oscorp?" Ye Hai exclaimed in surprise, his eyes shining with excitement.
Gwen smiled and replied, "Oscorp is a leading biological research company in the world. How could we not have samples of such extraordinary creatures? You are now a level one researcher at Oscorp and have the right to access these materials."
"That's wonderful, Gwen! Let's head to the biological repository right away!"
Ye Hai was eager for Gwen to lead him to the biological repository. To be honest, despite spending quite a few days at Oscorp, he was still unfamiliar with the building as he had been deeply absorbed in his research.
Fortunately, with Gwen as his assistant, the two of them smoothly entered the biological repository.
