Nanotechnology, Kid

After Riley shut down the system store, the Parker brothers each got busy in their own way.

Because of Riley's spider silk as a reference, Peter, whose intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary people, spent less than half a day tinkering with a prototype of the spider silk launcher.

Although it looks a bit bulky and not very convenient to carry, replenishing and preserving the cobweb fluid is also a problem.

But at least, the spider silk Peter made was very close to Riley's version.

Thus, they overcame the most difficult initial stage and achieved substantial results, which greatly encouraged Peter. After a quick meal at Ben and May's invitation, he went back into the basement and enthusiastically tried to optimize and upgrade the existing spider silk launcher.

Meanwhile, Riley returned alone to the abandoned factory, stretched his limbs a bit, and then stared at the freshly cut wound on his hand, lost in thought with a strange look in his eyes.

It's not that Riley was attacked by the enemy.

This wound was actually the result of Riley's own testing using a utility knife he brought from home.

This led Riley to have new questions.

Now that he possesses the strength of a hundred tons, he's practically a humanoid mini-Hulk...

Logically, the fact that Riley could withstand such a powerful output of force without collapsing suggests that the density of his skin and muscles, and even the structure of his bones, has undergone a complete transformation.

In this situation, let's not even talk about having an indestructible body like the real Hulk, impervious to bullets and water...

But at least in terms of resistance to impact, it is much stronger than an African elephant, which can withstand small-caliber bullets, isn't it?

However, the test results far exceeded Riley's expectations.

Even though Riley intentionally controlled his strength, using only the force of a normal adult male to casually make a cut on his finger, his skin was still clearly cut by this ordinary utility knife!

With this level of defense, let alone being able to withstand a bullet head-on, even an ordinary person wielding a sharp blade could probably stab Riley right through the heart!

Is this...right?

Is this scientifically sound?

I, a superhuman with the strength of a hundred tons, can be easily breached by a utility knife.

Is this reasonable? !

But soon, Riley, whose emotions were mixed, quickly let go and stopped dwelling on the matter.

The reason is quite simple...

In the Marvel Universe, there is the Iron Man suit, which can withstand even the heaviest attacks without suffering internal injuries.

There is also magic that cannot be explained by scientific knowledge.

Not to mention, the idea that being bitten by a spider could lead to a qualitative "evolution" in a single day—an evolution that the human race has failed to achieve even after thousands of years—is simply too far-fetched.

As a result, there are far too many things in the Marvel Universe that cannot be explained by traditional scientific concepts.

Therefore, Spider-Man's resilience—enough to withstand powerful attacks of the ton magnitude and still be alive and kicking—yet he can still be easily defeated by guns and swords, and his life doesn't seem like a big deal.

Marvel science fiction, isn't it amazing?

Fortunately, this cat's ability to withstand blows, which was as unpredictable as Schrödinger's cat, did indeed leave Riley somewhat puzzled.

However, the self-healing ability that comes with the mutation is undeniable.

While it's nowhere near as inhuman as Wolverine or Deadpool, who can regenerate perfectly even when all that's left is a bare skeleton...

But at least, the wound Riley had just cut himself healed completely in less than a second, right before Riley's eyes, without leaving a scar.

At this speed, as long as he isn't shot in a vital area like the brain or heart during combat...

Riley's current self-healing ability should be enough to ensure that even if he only suffers one or two gunshot wounds, he can quickly recover to his original state without going to the hospital for treatment... probably?

Thinking of this, Riley's expression turned strange, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to find a gun, shoot himself, and personally prove the truth of this conjecture.

However, this is just wishful thinking.

The reason Riley was reincarnated into this Marvel universe is because in his previous life, as a narcotics officer on the border between China and the United States, he was ambushed by drug traffickers during a raid. To cover his comrades' escape, he chose to stay behind and sacrificed his life on the spot.

Therefore, having already experienced the feeling of being shot, Riley didn't want to relive that feeling for no reason.

After a brief moment of thought, Riley put all other thoughts aside, took out his phone, and made a call to Harry.

After a conversation to make sure that she wouldn't cause Harry any trouble, Riley raised her hand and launched a web, quickly traversing between buildings until she arrived at Osborne.

Then, led by Harry, they arrived at Harry's personal laboratory.

Although an intelligence of seven points was still not enough for Riley to make any earth-shattering inventions.

However, with a few modifications to Osborn's technological products, Riley could easily create the items he needed.

So, after telling his family that he would be staying with Harry for a while, Riley immersed himself in the laboratory, working diligently.

Time quietly slipped by, and in the dawning sunlight, Monday morning arrived.

Aside from eating and using the restroom, Riley, who had been working in the lab 24/7, finally stopped what he was doing.

Taking off his goggles, revealing a panda-themed smoky makeup look that came with long nights of staying up late, Riley, looking exhausted but with excitement and pride in his eyes, quickly stepped forward and took down two spider tags, one black and one white, similar in shape but only the size of a palm, from the experimental equipment platform.

Of course, don't be fooled by its small size.

But inside, it encapsulates the technological essence of Osborn.

Not only does it utilize the convenience of nanotechnology to ensure that this seemingly inconspicuous little gadget can conform to the body and quickly form a well-fitting suit after activation.

Once fully formed, the suit, in addition to the self-repair function inherent in nanotechnology and common functions such as night vision, thermal imaging scanning, communication, anti-toxic, fireproof, waterproof, and bulletproof, also had many additional functions added under Riley's manipulation.

For example, there are small trackers made using nanotechnology, and matching radar systems that receive signals in real time.

The self-scanning detection function will detach a portion of the nanomachines to plug the wound when it is confirmed that the user is injured. In the event of a major bleeding crisis, it will also raise the temperature to cauterize the wound and stop the bleeding. In case of a fracture, it will rapidly cool down and apply ice to relieve pain... providing emergency medical solutions for the user in the course of combat in every possible way.

A hang glider mounted under the armpit, ready to be deployed at any time. This allows users to patrol between cities without constantly swinging their arms, saving energy.

An air circulation system that can provide independent oxygen supply for up to three hours in the event of emergencies such as underwater rescue, fire fighting, or exposure to toxic gas.

To prevent a rapid rise in body temperature due to the airtight suit during high-intensity exercise, or the gradual loss of sensation in the hands and feet when entering extremely cold regions, Riley thoughtfully included a temperature-regulating system to control the internal temperature of the suit.

Even the spider silk launch ports are ingeniously designed with mechanisms to allow users to more easily adjust the shape of the launched spider silk—for example, to bind enemies or to mitigate the impact of a spider web for rescue purposes, spider silk for movement, spider web bullets for long-range attacks, etc.—ensuring that no matter what situation they face, they can take more feasible measures.

Of course, even without this mechanism, Peter and Riley can still freely control the way the spider silk is launched with diligent practice.

However, Peter and Riley are still just novices who have just acquired Spider-Man's superpowers.

Therefore, just like beginners who need training wheels to help stabilize the bicycle when practicing,...

In the near future, Peter and Riley will mostly have to rely on this mechanism to gradually adapt to and become familiar with their abilities.

While both suits share common functions, Peter lacks the ability to generate bio-electric shocks. To prevent favoritism, Riley specifically added a circuit system to the suit prepared for Peter.

To ensure the suit covers the entire body, once connected to the web emitter, it can deliver an electric shock effect through the suit's own energy output. It also features a switch that allows users to control the amount of current output.

It's fair to say that Riley crammed in every single function he could think of that might be useful during combat.

The only drawback is that if all these functions are turned on at the same time, the energy consumption will be very fast, and it probably won't last long before it reverts to its original state. It needs to be fully charged before it can be restarted.

It was precisely because of the limited energy storage that Riley, who had originally planned to add mechanical spider arms to the suit, or achieve "invisibility" through the reflection of optical camouflage, or even have flight capabilities like Iron Man, had to abandon the bold ideas that were popping out of his mind.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the suit's potential is locked and there's no possibility of upgrading it.

If one day Riley can get his hands on an arc reactor just like Iron Man's.

At that time, with the Arc Reactor's near-infinite energy supply, Riley will be able to unleash his full potential and undertake a new round of radical upgrades to the suit! He can add every single function that is currently unthinkable!
