Osborne Megacorp

"Peter, here!" Harry waved to Peter from his seat.

Peter had never been to such a luxurious place, and he looked at the environment here while walking.

"Long time no see - how much does this place cost? Is it too expensive so there's no one here?"

"It's not too much, just a small amount of money." Harry waved his hand. There was no one there. That was because he had booked this place, and he didn't like to have people around when talking about these things. "What about England?"

"Not bad - it would be better if there were no aliens." Peter shrugged.

When aliens invaded a few days ago, he abandoned Gwen and ran nearby to rescue people, which made Gwen a little angry - Gwen didn't know he was Spider-Man yet.

"You were there?" Harry said in surprise. He didn't pay much attention to the situation outside the battlefield that day.

"It's nearby. I originally planned to go to the observatory to have a look."

Although the main battlefield that day was controlled at the observatory, the huge ship still caused damage to nearby neighborhoods, and Peter acted as a temporary firefighter.

"That's not bad." Harry thought, "Let's talk about this job. You can take a look at this tape first."

This is the picture recorded during the first exploration of Alfheim. The huge plants, the blue sky, and the soft light are as beautiful as a wonderland built with CG technology.

But this is obviously not made by CG technology, because humans have never seen such a beautiful place.

"This is Alfheim. This is footage of Osborn's first exploration."

"So, this job is to explore alien planets?" Peter's expression was dull.

Harry nodded: "Yes, I hope you can be my assistant and participate in the next exploration - best case scenario, I hope you can lead a team to explore there.

Most of Osborne's explorers are ordinary people, equipped with protective armor at most. I'm worried that they will make wrong judgments in a strange environment and cause some 'diplomatic disputes'. "

According to legend, there are many strange animals and plants in Alfheim. In a strange environment, humans are easily frightened by unknown things and then behave irrationally.

There is a good chance that there are giant plants and animals out there that possess a certain degree of intelligence, and both parties may take actions out of ignorance.

For example, a huge vine may hang a person up to study it carefully, a wild beast may get close to a human being for observation, and so on.

Theoretically, these animals and plants, including light elves, will not attack humans without reason, but humans are different.

Being in an alien environment and having such contact with unknown creatures, the explorers are likely to make misjudgments. As soon as the nervous security personnel open fire, the nature of the matter changes.

You must know that the light elves value these animals and plants very much.

And Peter can solve this problem: Spider-Man's physical strength is not inferior to these aliens, and he has the magical ability of Spider-Sense, which can help them better assess risks.

And his personality is very suitable for friendly contact with these light elves.

Peter was a little unsure: "But I may not be able to make a correct judgment."

Harry shook his head: "I know your abilities better than you do - from a scientific point of view, your attention span is far beyond that of ordinary people. Your brain will unconsciously calculate and pay attention to the dangers around you, which can help you make correct judgments." .”

Harry was talking about Spider-Sense, an ability that, from a conventional scientific perspective, relies on Peter's super senses.

This sensory ability allows his consciousness to be attached to everything around him like a spider's thread, enough to deduce possible dangers.

In fact, Spider Sense goes beyond conventional science. It comes from spider totems, and the content it perceives is not only the state of objective things, but also includes the subjective consciousness of intelligent creatures, just like Harry can feel the emotions of others through psychic abilities.

The prediction of the spider sense is based on this sensed information. It completes "cloud computing" on the spider totem to make inferences about what is about to happen, and then tells the spider-ability user: there is danger.

Therefore, the Spider Sense can be simulated through technological means, but it cannot simulate its complete version - Iron Man secretly made a set of this thing in the comics.

Theoretically, through training, the spider sense can even evolve into a precognitive ability. In short, it is very useful for exploring the unknown and is very suitable for team leaders.

"But... how long will it take to go there?" Peter hesitated - he just came to Oxford for exchange, and his wife hasn't even covered her body yet, so he's going to an alien planet?

This made Harry stunned for a moment. It turned out that Peter was worried that he would not have time to meet his little girlfriend.

Harry explained: "It's hard to say. Now the portal can exist stably for 3-5 hours once it is opened. My plan is to open it once a day until the camp is established, and then it will be opened once a week.

Judging from the current information, there should be no danger in Alfheim, and you might even consider bringing Gwen with you.

I will also communicate with your school in terms of academics - in fact, I haven't had a few classes now, these are all small things. "

Peter is still hesitant. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, alien exploration is very interesting, but he has just fallen in love and is still in class. Alien exploration is full of unknown risks...

Especially when he was still in love.

Harry had no choice but to use his trump card: "The reward I'm offering you is 2000 US dollars - seriously, Peter, this mission needs you very much. Your ability is very suitable for this job. The exploration team needs you."

"Monthly salary?" Peter was stunned for a moment.

"Of course it's an hourly rate - it's just a base salary, bonuses are calculated separately."

As soon as these words came out, Peter was shaken.

I don’t know what part of it impressed Peter—maybe it was the salary part, or the ability to do the job, or both.

He took a deep breath, raised his head and said:

"Okay, it does sound good, you convinced me."

......

In the teleportation war room, Harry was checking the equipment and personnel and was in a good mood.

He loved the feeling of exploring an unknown world.

The second exploration team is more equipped, including exploration vehicles, personal protective armor, labor robots...

Based on Saul's narrative and the researchers' compilation, Osborne redesigned the painting and appearance of these equipment:

Light elves are docile, enthusiastic and cheerful. They love plants and light. They are shiny and beautiful. Therefore, most of the new equipment is painted in warm colors, and the sharp parts on the shell are erased. Most of the building materials are painted to better integrate into nature. Ambient green, printed with botanical patterns.

All in all, it looks friendly.

Peter, wearing Osborne's uniform, was taking deep breaths.

For this exploration, they will leave a teleportation beacon in Alfheim. Without this thing, the other end of the wormhole will be random every time. Once this thing works properly, it means that they have taken another step. A landmark step.

Harry looked at the exploration team getting ready to go and checked his watch.

It's almost time.

"On August 2013, 8, the Osborn Group explored Alfheim for the second time. The mission was to establish a wormhole beacon and a simple exploration camp.

If you come into contact with any Light Spirits, be friendly and make friendly contact your first priority.

Does anyone else have questions?

Okay, doctor, open the wormhole. "
