Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Destiny

Chapter 30 A Day in the Life of Peter

In the picture under the microscope, the structure of the two spider silks is actually roughly the same, and both are similar to the spider silk of the black widow spider in nature.

Peter learned from the literature that scientists from the University of California, Riverside, had carefully studied the genetic code of black widow spider silk and found that black widow spider silk contained two key proteins, Masp1 and Masp2.

Both are serine proteases that are components of the lectin pathway for complement activation.

The spider silk used by these two Spider-Man has something similar to Masp, which is more obscure and profound than spiders in nature.

Even almost magical!

This made Peter a little suspicious. Could it be that the source of Spider-Man's abilities is not just science, but also the involvement of metaphysics?
Unfortunately, although the equipment in the school laboratory is quite abundant, further research is not possible.

Peter could only write down this idea temporarily, and then continue to conduct in-depth research when conditions permit.

Later, he found a single-fiber electronic dynamometer in the laboratory.

He also has one of this thing at home, a big-ass computer that Iron Man jokingly calls "retro technology" sitting on the table in his room.

The reason why that big-ass computer is "big-ass" is because there is a motor hidden inside the host base.

With it, Peter can measure the strength of his own spider silk using manual clamping.

Oh, by the way, there is also a device like this on the table in the small workshop of The Amazing Spider-Man (there is actually one in the movie, a small one with what looks like a monitor on the side. If you are interested, you can check it out).

Obviously, studying spider silk is one of the natural hobbies and commonalities of every Spider-Man.

However, compared to the two "retro" and low-end versions of him and The Amazing Spider-Man, the one in the school is much more advanced.

This is a pneumatic clamping method in the school laboratory. The air source inlet and outlet can be adjusted to achieve slow clamping and slow release. In this way, the damage to the material being tested will be minimized.

Moreover, the deformation process is more controllable and requires more detailed observation.

If it was his own manual type, Peter would have to pay attention to controlling the strength of his muscles at all times. While carefully controlling the strength of his hands, he would also make observations and records. Just thinking about it, you know how tired he is, right?

So, Peter still likes to do this in school if he can.

No one else knew what he was doing anyway.

Teachers generally don't care what experiments students are doing, because each student chooses a topic independently.

His classmates were all busy with their own affairs and rarely bothered him except Ned.

"Peter, what are you studying?"

"Uh, Stark internship project, composite fiber materials, you know." Peter was very satisfied with this excuse, as if he could blame it for anything. Iron Man took the blame, so if you have any questions, you can ask Iron Man.

"Oh~" Ned suddenly realized. No wonder he couldn't understand what Peter was doing after watching for a long time.

But that's right, after all, he is good at electronic technology, computer programming, etc., so it's normal that he doesn't understand biological materials.

Then Ned turned back to his own business.

Peter continued his experiments using a single fiber dynamometer.

Under the action of the dynamometer, the mechanical properties of spider silk are well demonstrated.

The difference between the two types of spider silk is also revealed.

Compared with his spider silk, The Amazing Spider-Man's spider silk has stronger toughness, mainly reflected in the breaking strength. But correspondingly, the elastic properties of The Amazing Spider-Man's spider silk are not as good as his, and his elongation at break is higher.

To sum up: The Amazing Spider-Man's spider silk is stronger and harder, and it can withstand more force. However, because it has lost part of its elasticity, its buffering performance is relatively reduced. If it is used to stick to objects, it can even When it comes to the human body, the other party has to bear more force than Peter.

Because the sum of the forces remains unchanged!
Part of the latter is relieved by the elasticity of the spider silk, and the force fed back to the person being acted upon is naturally less.

However, this kind of detail should not be of much use.

Later, Peter used other instruments in the laboratory to conduct observations in more directions. He found that the density of both his own and the spider silk used by The Amazing Spider-Man was similar to that of silk in insects, but smaller than that of Cave Most high-performance fibers, such as fiberglass, are far less dense than steel.

This discovery means that he might actually be able to use spider silk to make clothes!

We only need to make some adjustments to the rigidity of the spider silk so that it is no longer the current biological fiber bias, add some other elements to it, and sacrifice part of its performance, perhaps we can get a polymer fiber that is better than the existing ones. The material is even better composite material!

After studying the materials, Peter quietly took apart the pneumatic electronic single fiber strength meter while the teacher was not paying attention, took a look at the structure inside, and took it to heart.

When traveling through other Spider-Man worlds in the future, there will definitely be more different types of spider silk.

It's impossible to wait until the experimental class every time to study it, right?

So he decided to find a way to completely transform the manual one at home into a pneumatic one after he returned.

Even if it is not as good as this one, it should at least have 90%, no, 70% of its performance!
-
The experimental class ended in Peter's busyness.

No kidding, he really had a busy class.

It’s just that I’m not busy with class content.

However, can doing something like an experiment be called desertion?
That's for a better future!
It is for the prosperity of science and technology for all mankind!
cough cough.

There was nothing interesting in the next half day.

Except for Flash, an annoying guy who didn't deal with him every day and came in front of him from time to time to show off his wits, Peter's half day was uneventful.

As for Flash, this guy is just a bastard who likes to look for presence.

Peter didn't bother to meet him.

What's interesting is that this guy actually likes how Peter looks when he puts on the suit, which is Spider-Man.

Flash calls himself Spider-Man's number one fan. He wears Spider-Man prints on his clothes, hides pictures of Spider-Man in his schoolbag, and often causes trouble for Peter, a decent Spider-Man.

What a fanatical sasaeng - even though he doesn't know Peter's true identity.

What could Peter do about this?

I can only forgive him!

He never thought that he would have a fanatical fan after only being active for such a short period of time.

What's even more unexpected is that this enthusiastic fan is also his classmate!
Sometimes Peter is about to put on the spider suit, appear in front of Flash, and then suddenly take off his mask, let him know his identity, and then scare him.

Uh-huh, of course, just thinking about it.
