Kapitel 278: Chapter: 278
Osborn Industries, a family-owned enterprise controlled by the Osborn family, is a large and powerful corporation that primarily focuses on the field of biotechnology.
They have also made significant contributions in the military industry. Even before Stark Industries withdrew from the military sector, Osborn Industries was already a major arms supplier, providing advanced weapons and combat equipment to the military.
Additionally, Osborn Industries sponsors research institutions at several top-tier universities and supports the personal laboratories of renowned scholars, facilitating diverse scientific collaborations.
For instance, the famous biologist, Dr. Connor, has been researching limb regeneration technology, aiming to grant humans the ability to regenerate limbs, similar to lizards.
Many research funds and major corporations consider this project to be far-fetched with no commercial prospects.
However, Norman Osborn, the Chairman of Osborn Industries, has shown keen interest in this research and eventually funded Dr. Connor to set up a laboratory and conduct the research.
Furthermore, in the field of nuclear power, inspired by the prototype of the Arc Reactor demonstrated by Howard Stark, the founder of Stark Industries, and the recent news highlighting the achievements of Tony Stark as Iron Man.
Osborn Industries has also started investing heavily in this area.
For example, they provided substantial funding to the eminent nuclear physicist, Dr. Otto Octavius, who specializes in atomic physics, to support his research on nuclear fusion.
In return, Osborn Industries gains all commercial development rights related to nuclear fusion technology upon the success of the project.
However, due to the significant financial expenditure on research in recent years, some discord has emerged within the board of directors of Osborn Industries.
The emergence of Mark's Research Center, has made their company's recent days even more challenging.
Mark's current procurement request, sent through Max, undoubtedly presents a significant deal for Osborn Industries. After all, the top-notch biological experiment equipment itself is highly expensive.
Fulfilling Mark's order will result in a cash inflow of hundreds of millions of dollars, which, even for a giant like Osborn Industries, is an enticing sum.
Furthermore, taking advantage of this opportunity to establish a relationship with Mark, who is highly regarded in the fields of technology and capital, is a great chance for Osborn Industries, which is facing a precarious business situation.
However, Osborn Industries' aspirations are destined to be in vain. Mark, who is entirely focused on his enhancement experiments and has all his attention directed towards it, will not waste any time dealing with Osborn Industries.
While Mark ultimately did not grant the senior executives of Osborn Industries an opportunity to meet and communicate.
They still quickly sent the requested experimental instruments and the live samples of the Black Widow spider to Mark's Research Center, considering the substantial amount of money involved.
After the experimental instruments were delivered, Max immediately commanded a large army of micro magnetic axis robots to begin the task of transporting and installation.
Soon, the originally spacious top-floor laboratory became somewhat crowded and chaotic after accommodating these large equipment.
However, for Mark, this was no big deal. The management team of his company had already discussed it in the quarterly meeting not long ago.
With the continuous growth of Mark's Research Center's business, the current six-story building within Stark Sci-Tech Park would no longer suffice to meet their future office and operational needs.
Therefore, under unanimous resolution from the management team, an application to construct a company headquarters building was submitted to Mark.
Given Mark's substantial financial capacity, he readily agreed to the decision collectively reached by the team without much consideration.
Although Mark's Research Center is a privately-owned enterprise without public financing or being listed, judging from its revenue scale and social influence, the current six-story building seemed inadequate for its status.
Moreover, the company's quarterly product launch events were currently held in rented venues. With their own headquarters in place, they could host these events on their own premises, saving costs and effectively promoting the company's image.
Ultimately, the most crucial aspect was that with the new headquarters, Mark would have a more spacious and brand-new laboratory, which excited him the most.
Moreover, with the micro magnetic axis robots as an infrastructure tool at hand, as long as the site is secured and construction materials prepared, building the headquarters would be a matter of minutes...
However, until the preparations for the new headquarters were complete, Mark would have to endure a bit longer and continue to work in this increasingly crowded laboratory.
All the purchased biological experiment equipment had been installed, and the samples of Black Widow spiders for the experiments were already arranged on the laboratory benches.
Mark's "Little Spider Plan" could officially begin. He temporarily assigned a code name, "R16," to the new spider species that would be born under his hands.
If the experiment proved successful, Mark would give it an official name later.
However, the first step of the experiment was not to work on these venomous spiders, but to renovate the current unsatisfactory laboratory.
This renovation did not involve tidying up the somewhat messy and crowded space. Instead, it aimed to add an energy shielding system on top of the already tight security measures to isolate the entire laboratory.
The transformation of these Black Widow spiders in the laboratory involved true cutting-edge genetic operations.
If these spiders accidentally escaped from the laboratory into the natural environment, it could potentially disrupt the ecological balance not just in the immediate area but even an entire region or continent.
Even worse, once the genes of these enhanced spiders are passed down through reproduction, a completely new and powerful species will be born.
This level of power would pose a threat that no natural predators could overcome, creating a biochemical crisis for the spider's prey.
For humans, without undergoing body modifications like Mark or possessing the innate strength of someone like Thor, being bitten by an enhanced Black Widow spider would be extremely fatal.
Without immediate treatment in a nutrient hibernation pod at a hospital, they wouldn't survive more than a few minutes after the bite due to the poison.
Therefore, taking stringent protective measures is highly necessary.
Otherwise, if an incident akin to a biochemical crisis were to occur or if these enhanced spiders were to escape and turn the entire human population into Spider-Men, it would lead to utter chaos in society.
