Chapter 19 Dr. Connors

Dr. Conners is a visiting professor at the State University of New York. He occasionally lectures students about biogenetics. While serving as a teacher, he also has his own independent laboratory, funded by Osborne Industries. , the company's boss Norman Osborn is very interested in Connors' ongoing research.

It was a technical research on the regeneration of severed limbs, which has broad prospects and markets in medical applications, so Norman Osborne allocated a large amount of research funding to Connors every year in an attempt to complete this epoch-making significance. research projects.

Connors walked out of the office with a sad face. He used to be a military doctor. He was conscripted into the army during the war and sent to the front line to treat the wounded. As a result, he was seriously injured in a big explosion and had to be amputated to save his life. One arm, and when he returned to university, he began to study the regeneration system of reptiles and study the knowledge in the field of biological genetics, all in order to restore his body's incompleteness.

Originally, after years of painstaking research, Connors has seen a little light, and many scientific difficulties have been successfully overcome. He firmly believes that as long as he gives himself more time, he can complete the research on the regeneration technology of severed limbs.

But at this most critical moment, Osborne Industries cut off its financial support for the laboratory. Connors found out after inquiring that this emerging industrial giant had recently encountered a lot of trouble. With the decline of the avalanche and the unfavorable news that it will be split and acquired, Norman Osborn, who is too busy to take care of himself, naturally finds it difficult to continue to provide high research funding.

This put Connors in an embarrassing situation. He was only one step away from success, but due to insufficient funds, it was difficult to continue the research. This was a heavy blow to him.

Thinking of the hard work and painstaking efforts he had made for most of his life, which might soon turn into a dream, Connors' pale and thin cheeks were flushed with anger. He clenched his fists and looked at the busy interns in the laboratory with a gloomy expression. His ashen complexion gradually turned into a helpless depression.

"Good morning, Dr. Connors."

A young boy stood in front of Connors with a warm smile on his face. The dull middle-aged man came to his senses and recognized that this was one of his interns.

Connors squeezed a smile out of his stiff face: "Hi, Sean, I read your paper on cross-species inheritance and biological genes, and it's very thoughtful."

Connors is very satisfied with this big boy who looks quite sunny. No matter what kind of thing, as long as it is handed over to Sean, he can always do it very well, even if it is such a boring job like cleaning the experimental equipment. , he is very patient.

So Connors has always admired this young boy, thinking that when his research is successful and he has gained the honor and glory he dreamed of, he formally recruited Sean into the research room and handed over some real core research work.

Now everything has become empty talk. Without the funding from Osborne Industries, it is completely impossible to continue the unfinished research work. The future prospects that I dreamed of in my mind have now become moons in the water, flowers in the mirror, illusory and fragile.

Sean looked at Dr. Conners, who was slumped from the back, and couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that he triggered the plot of Dr. Lizard?
In the original timeline, for a series of reasons, this dull one-armed middle-aged man, like the desperate Norman Osborn, used himself to conduct human experiments, and the result mutated into a huge Human Lizard.

The reason Sean joined Connors' laboratory was just to find a reasonable excuse for his future achievements. Otherwise, a guy who had no systematic education and no scientific knowledge would suddenly come up with scientific research with great value and potential. As a result, it will inevitably be criticized.

Tony Stark's aura of genius is supported by the huge Stark industry and a degree from MIT. In this case, Sean can't lag behind.

He has been waiting for the right time to get himself the first springboard. Osborne Industries, whose stock price has plummeted recently, is one of Sean's targets.

The high-tech equipment on the Green Goblin is a stolen product from Osborn Industries. This news was sent anonymously by Sean to the Daily Bugle. Norman Osborn took the risk of experimenting with human enhancement drugs, but he couldn't control his inner emotions. , turned into a violent and bloodthirsty Green Goblin, as long as there are no accidents, he will die in the hands of Spider-Man sooner or later, and then Harry will take over the company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

For everything after that, Sean had already prepared a plan to deal with it. If he wanted to transform himself from an ordinary boy in New York into a big man like Tony Stark, it would be far from enough to rely on the power brought by the system.

There are too many powerful characters with terrifying strength in this world. If you just think that you can beat all superheroes with the help of the system, you will only fall into the difficult situation of being besieged and killed in the end.

Sean didn't want to follow behind superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D., under the assignment and orders of the black chief; he didn't want to be like Hydra, hiding in a dark corner, planning to confront the Avengers, Rule the world.

He wants to find his own path between superheroes and evil villains, without the constraints of S.H.I.E.L.D. Sufficiently stable position-a huge force composed of wealth and power, so he designed Norman Osborn in the dark, believing that Mr. Green Goblin is struggling to deal with the crisis encountered by the company at this time.

"If Spider-Man doesn't solve the Green Goblin, should I take action?" Sean nodded his chin thinking.

If the timeline changes due to the intervention of the butterfly effect, and the Green Goblin is still alive and well, it will be quite unfavorable to Sean's plan. Compared with Harry, who is easy to control, the wily Norman Or Spoon is not easy to deal with.

"Peter, don't let me down." Sean changed into a white laboratory uniform and started a new day.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the blonde girl walking towards him. He suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and immediately put on a happy smile on his face. He looked like a harmless sunny boy.

"Hi, Gwen, I thought you would stay at home and rest for a while." Sean looked at the blonde girl with big eyes blinking and greeted with concern.

This Spider-Man's first love girlfriend was holding a bag in both hands at this time, with a slightly shy expression on her pretty face. Sean somehow felt that the atmosphere had become subtle, and there seemed to be some ambiguous feeling pervading.

"Here are your clothes. I washed them for you...Thank you." The girl said in a voice like a mosquito. If it wasn't for Sean's excellent hearing, I really don't know what she said.

The young boy took the bag and realized that it was the suit jacket that the blonde girl had put on temporarily when he rescued the blonde girl last time, and he had completely forgotten about it afterwards.

"Uh, I just did what I should do. Anyone in such a situation would choose to stand up."

Sean didn't know that his seemingly humble appearance could win the girl's favor even more. Gwen believed that this young boy was a steady and not vain person, and there was an inexplicable joy in his heart.

The two talked and laughed with each other, and walked into the busy laboratory. At this time, in Connors' private office, the one-armed doctor was struggling, as if hesitating to make a risky decision Indecision.
