With Pepper’s joining, Ross was finally able to leave the tedious administrative tasks behind and move on to more pressing things—- such as doing follow-up research on a new type of body armor, one of the main financial pillars of the current situation, and finding ways to expand the production of super spider silk.

Using spider silk as a textile raw material is not Ross’s originality, and both worlds have had similar ideas.

Scientists analyze and synthesize spider silk protein, isolate the nucleotide sequence encoded by spider silk protein gene, establish a database, use DNA synthesis technology to build a gene sequence model of different spider silk protein fragments, and then use this model to create a variety of synthetic genes, select the appropriate species from this, and then use these selected lucky winners to produce products with basically the same genetic sequence as natural spider silk protein.

After all the above work is completed, the next step is how to produce this spider silk protein on a large scale and open the bottleneck that restricts production.

Among them, the most difficult is the first step, the most expensive is also the first step, the process is extremely complex, the consumption of manpower and material resources far beyond the imagination of the outside world, and requires considerable luck to achieve.

In the world where Ross came, this idea has always stayed in the initial stage, and this world has come true, Osborne Industry and Columbia University have teamed up, through the use of a lot of money and more than ten years before and after, successfully collected all kinds of precious living bodies from all over the world, and then carefully bred fifteen super spiders, one of which made Spider-Man Peter, and then they were all stolen by Ross before others realized their true value, and now even if other institutions are given ten times the money and time, Nor can they recreate past achievements.

Because with climate and environmental changes, some species have become extinct or endangered, so the spider in Ross’s hand has become a unique masterpiece in the world.

Skipping the most difficult part, he only needs to find a way to advance spider silk production from monomer to industrialization, and he can smoothly grab unimaginable profits from the huge armor market.

In order to complete this research, there was a plate of milky protein liquid on the table in front of him, and Ross stared at the slightly thick liquid | body in the saucer, sitting alone in the room and quietly thinking, mentally evaluating and comparing various possible pathways, until he had a decision.

Now he intends to relax for a moment and start verifying that his vision is correct.

Turning around and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, Ross ordered the intelligent system to ventilate, and soon the fresh air outside penetrated in, dispelling the strong smell of almonds.

“Stand up—- line up! Listen to my password and pay attention! ”

John’s voice sounded outside the window, and from a hundred feet away, Ross could hear the roar of the young man.

“It’s really energetic.”

Ross rubbed his neck and looked down at his newly formed superpower squad.

After rewarding John last time, Ross appointed Burning Man as Toad Toad’s deputy and gave him some young mutants poached from the Brotherhood as members, and now he is stepping up training these compatriots.

Although mutants have great potential, except for a few people, Ross rarely sees them in his eyes.

Human society has developed to this day, and technology itself has replaced myth as the greatest miracle.

In the age of cold weapons, a person who can launch a fireball can be called a magician and be feared by ordinary people, but today any trained ordinary person can easily do the same job, and it is more lethal, less costly, and can be copied in large quantities, as simple and cheap as producing a component from an assembly line.

Purely from the point of view of military operations, these people’s mindset is outdated and their execution is extremely low, and without rigorous training, their role is not as valuable as lying on the laboratory bench and receiving research. The most valuable wealth of mutants lies in their genes, and once the genes are cracked, then they are like wallets that have drained their banknotes, and can only be reduced to empty shells.

The reason why Ross is still willing to hire these guys is that they are vigilant enough to be outside and not confused by the mainstream ideas promoted by society. With the right people at the table, Ross can turn them into his own power and instruct them to do things for himself at will, without worrying that one of them will suddenly report him to the government for inexplicable reasons.

But despite this merit, the quality of these guys is really bad enough. Due to the rejection of the outside world, many of them have not undergone a complete primary and secondary education, the collective consciousness is indifferent, and the degree of cooperation is also poor, many times like a humanoid beast coming and going with just a few moves, completely do not know how to explore their strength, so he can only order John to start from scratch.

This simple-minded guy, even if he gives Ross a large-caliber pistol before gaining strength, he is confident that he can kill all these people in front of him in a matter of minutes.

He even wondered if the guys would have been able to beat the gang of rabble who kidnapped Tony if it hadn’t been for the sneak attack.

Even with superpowers, their performance is quite poor.

Ross once saw a young man shouting in his mouth, and his momentum was extremely amazing… Then with a flick of his hand, a swift wave of light smashed into his companion.

The target was only ten feet away from him, but miraculously remained intact.

Next, the lab will have to urgently transfer some Phinex potions to treat his hapless mutant brother.

These stock liquids can easily be fried for five thousand dollars in the market, but here they can only be reduced to the necessary consumption during training, which cannot but make people feel a touch of sadness.

Ross only glanced at it a few times before he felt Yue Hun’s mouth stuffy, and he was about to order the system to close the window, but he was out of sight and out of mind, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door behind him, and a woman broke in like a storm of anger.

This storm is of course the storm woman Ororo, except her, no one in the entire laboratory dares to be so rude.

I don’t know how, from the beginning she and Rose were very difficult to deal with, and every time the two met, they would end in an argument.

“You sent my students to Central Asia to kill?”

Slapping the table hard, Ororo shouted in annoyance.

Her hand fell, and she happened to hit the saucer, so the saucer immediately buckled over, and cow | milk-like spider silk proteins spilled on her head, drenching all over her face, some of which slid down the |towering | of the moon, dragging long silver strands in the air.

Ross just looked back and saw this wonderful scene, and even he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Ororo unconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth, and the smell of protein immediately made her scream.

“You… You pervert, what the hell are you doing? ”

In a panic, with a wave of her hands, a translucent long cyclone faintly formed, and the documents on the table flew into the air.

“Damn it!” Ross cursed secretly, instantly crossed the table, forcibly dispersed the brewing storm, and forcefully pushed Ororo to the wall.

“Help… Not! ”

Ororo was about to shout, but Ross grabbed her waist and covered her mouth | with his other hand in time.

What kind of joke, if the people outside are alarmed by her and rush in, Ross may really bear the title of extremely dishonorable.

“Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!” Hastily explained, he had rarely been so nervous.

The storm girl glared at him angrily, completely unable to listen, looking uncooperative, with her desperate resistance, a long silver hair was draped messily in front of the moon |, and the well-proportioned body with a slightly dark complexion twisted vigorously.

Ororo is from Cairo, belongs to the mixed race, the skin is delicate and the color is not deep, the facial features are also quite delicate, the bridge of the nose is small and upturned, and the lips are not as thick as the black man, not only beautiful and healthy, but also has the charm and exquisite and elegant temperament of the |.

This temperament fell in Ross’s eyes at this moment, and it became another seduction |.

Full of elastic and | body, faint aroma, Ross couldn’t help but wander a little in his eyes.

It was good that she didn’t resist, this resistance, in the struggle, Ororo’s upper body clothes fell off a few buttons, a large area of skin was exposed from the waist, Ross’s fingers inadvertently wiped from there, and immediately both of them froze, and then the storm woman’s cheeks burned crimson like |.

His body gradually became hot, and his mouth whined, and Ororo was a little flustered.

Looking into her horrified eyes, Rose stepped back a little to give her a little space.

“I have no malice, if you promise not to call, I will let you go.”

He whispered, and the storm girl nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the other party’s signal, Ross gently opened the hand that pressed his mouth |.

Feeling the palm on his lips just leave, Ororo opened his mouth and wanted to shout.

Seeing this, Ross quickly covered her back and forcefully squeezed her back into the wall.

“Don’t call it, what do you want to do?”

He stared at her in annoyance, his body inadvertently getting closer and closer.

Hearing the questioning, Ororo almost exploded her lungs, obviously she was the one who was persecuted, why did Ross’s tone seem to be coerced by herself in turn?

Looking at Rose viciously, Storm Girl was full of thoughts about biting him hard, but did not find that her delicate collarbone and half of her shoulders were exposed.

“I’m welcome to make trouble again!”

Ross threatened, his arm was slightly forced, and he pressed down on the soft | soft mountain | mound that was full of |, and Ororo’s body immediately froze.

The anger subsided temporarily, and she knew that she could not continue like this, so her expression softened a little and she winked at the other party repeatedly.

Ross looked at her warily for a moment, until he decided that she would not shout again, and then he withdrew.

Ororo leaned against the wall, and the moon | in front of him rose and fell violently for a while, before he recalled his intentions.

“Why did you send John to kill, can’t your own people use it, why do you want John to be a killer?” She asked in a low voice, her tone | urgent.

“I didn’t force him, John was willing, you can’t see how happy he is these days, he is learning to be a man, do you want him to go back and still play the obedient good student?” And did the professor object, he knows better than you that leaving violent mutants is nothing, otherwise why didn’t he destroy Magneto, then there would be no less conflict with humanity? For those at the top of the food chain, there is only one rule in the world, that is, the law of the jungle, you can master the proportions, but you must not be soft-hearted. ”

Ross asked rhetorically, seeing Ororo speechless, he took a few steps back and handed her a few tissues.

Ororo silently took it and wiped it carefully, and she knew what Ross said, but emotionally speaking, it was still difficult for her to accept that the teenager she knew would become a cold-blooded and ruthless killer.

“Now John, next Bobby and Pete, are you going to use the academy as your backup base to serve your ambitions|?”

“Don’t be so unfriendly, don’t it cost money to raise you, you should learn to cherish my friendship.”

Ororo sneered at Ross’s admonition.

I don’t know why, she always loses her cool when she meets Ross, and even she herself is a little strange.

Ross, in turn, had a similar feeling, as if their personalities were inherently conflicting.

“You use these… What does spider silk protein do? ”

Changing the topic, there are still some strange smells on his body that have not dissipated, and Ororo does not want to go outside so quickly.

“To do research, I plan to use genetically modified plants to produce spider silk proteins, solve the capacity problem for new products, and then return the funds as soon as possible—- frankly, I need money, I need a lot of money.”

Ross also had nothing to hide, and casually told Ororo his plans.

“Do you really think this thing can do that much?”

Storm Woman was skeptical.

“Look at yourself, it’s kind to say others, you have been closed for too long, it’s time to understand the outside society.” Ross raised his head and looked at the storm girl like an earthen turtle, which made Ororo secretly angry in his heart.

“Do you know how much a similar product costs on the market, two thousand dollars! Annual sales are 100,000! In the police market alone, more than 200,000 police officers across the United States are now using these armor, and the quality of our products far exceeds the inferior goods outside. People who really need to protect themselves don’t count monetary figures, and even if we double the price, we can find enough customers. ”

Ross pointed triumphantly at Ororo’s face, and she quickly wiped off the protein liquid that was about to dry up at the corner of her mouth.

“Abominable capitalists!” The Storm Girl whispered, but her heart was not starting to get so angry.

“Don’t be cranky, I suggest you read more. For example, this “Plant That Changed the World”, patting the book on the desk, seeing the always tough storm woman bowed her head and submitted, Ross had a feeling of spirit.

“The writings of the British Musgrave brothers, with whom I agree. The wealth of the world has always followed in the footsteps of plants, such as the leaf, tobacco, sugar cane, poppy, cotton, cinchona and rubber trees, which lubricate the wheels of trade, exchange national wealth, and feed ordinary people. From the Americas to the Celestial Empire, from India to Brazil, whether the consequences are good or bad, one thing cannot be denied, that is, they are the spark that truly changes the world… Now we will soon add an eighth, our protein plant, which will bring us profit and prestige, and then help us get closer to more precious treasures. ”

What “more precious treasure” Ross was referring to, he did not explain, and Ororo did not ask, she quietly listened to Ross show off for a while before slowly exiting the room.
