Osborne Megacorp

In the Osborn Group, Peter Parker is having a normal day.

Wake up with Gwen at 07:30 in the morning, then enjoy breakfast prepared by the housekeeping robot, and watch the group's news reports while enjoying breakfast.

Thanks to the large-scale development of psionic energy within the Osborne Group, a psionic component was developed for use in home televisions.

This component can enhance the information transmission process. The content played by the TV is similar to the previous TV, but people with psychic abilities can interpret more details of the news that interests them.

And the efficiency is more than a hundred times that of normal reading comprehension.

This kind of psychic technology can be traced back to Harry's psychic awakening experiment on the group. It is basically a civilian technology improved based on telepathy. There are many similar technologies that can be widely used in any information exchange scenario. .

Recently, the group's work has mainly focused on the multiverse - a term that was somewhat unfamiliar just a few years ago.

However, the battle with Thanos allowed the group to come into contact with the most essential thing in this universe: the Infinity Stones, so it is reasonable for the subsequent development to break through the barriers of this universe.

Of course, although most people are very curious about themselves in different universes, if you think about it carefully: the rules of the universe are similar in different worlds, so most people still live a life similar to before.

After all, in the parallel universe, you are someone else in a sense, and living your own life is always the first priority.

For example, Peter is now a senior researcher and engineer at the Osborne Group. He is an expert in planetary ecological transformation. His representative works include Sahara Greening and Jupiter Farm.

In the Osborne Group, except for the tasks that sometimes have designated targets, most of the time they have to learn to do some new tricks on their own. On the one hand, they meet their spiritual needs, and on the other hand, if there is no labor, they will just You can eat subsistence allowance for life.

For example, Peter has been working on a new project recently -

wow.

Peter opened the curtains, and warm sunlight poured into the room. The sparkling ocean made people feel relaxed and happy.

This is Kepler 22b, the first habitable planet of the Osborne Group, but due to two shortcomings of this planet:

First, gravity and atmospheric conditions are relatively harsh for most ordinary people who have not experienced any intensification;

Second, this is an ocean planet. The ocean accounts for more than 90% of the entire planet's surface area. Even the land needs to be dehumidified on a large scale. Therefore, after the group subsequently discovered more habitable planets, it has gradually become a Military training base and tourist destination.

"I'll never get tired of the scenery here." Gwen said lying on the chair.

"Yes, thank you to the company. When I was still in Midtown High School, I never thought that I would work in an alien world after graduation. At that time, I thought I would serve in some superhero team under Harry, and then Silently protecting the earth."

Peter enjoyed the sunshine here and lamented that the world was changing too fast.

When he and Harry first met, he had just gained his spider powers, and that period was really... magical.

After defeating the Chitauri in New York together, he once thought that his future position would be as a member of Harry's superhero team, just like the Avengers.

However, Spider-Man has always been just a dream for young Peter. When he grows up, he would rather want to be Peter Parker - if conditions permit.

This is the situation that conditions permit - based on the standards of 12 years ago, the Osborne Group's "subsistence allowance" even exceeded the living standards of any wealthy person on the planet during that period.

Within the scope of the group's control, food, electricity, housing, and clothing can all be received for free, but these are not the point. The point is that they can fly into space at a very low cost.

The group's subsistence allowance ensures that everyone can obtain a small engineering ship. This kind of engineering ship has the ability to move across galaxies and can independently carry out resource collection, processing and construction activities on alien planets.

As for the "fuel cost", the reactor carried by the initial engineering ship can ensure that the small ship can operate normally for 10 years.

It can be said that as long as they do not lose their interest in learning, the ability to work independently, and the curiosity to explore the unknown, any individual can use this boat to live freely among the stars and choose the lifestyle he likes.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if they don't like exploring aliens. According to the group's strategic policy, they can eat and drink for free on the earth or other planets. Maybe the children they give birth to will be the talents the group needs?

It doesn't matter even if they are not willing to continue to reproduce. Anyway, raising one person for nothing will not use many resources, and it can also leave some research materials for genetic and social researchers.

"Live your own life", this is the main job content of Osborne Group employees - of course they can also make this their only job content. If they don't do the basic production activities, some of them are done by robots and synthetic humans. .

The small mansion on the sea now was designed and built by Peter himself. Of course, as a senior researcher, his spacecraft is large and luxurious, and he is currently collecting relevant data on the seabed.

The project he is currently researching is alien ocean ecological manipulation. This is a popular project. If successful, it will be very helpful for people's activities on ocean planets.

It doesn't matter if he fails or is completed first by others, the worst he can do is continue to live on subsistence allowances for a few years - basic needs are not a problem at all, not to mention that he still has a lot of savings.

Turning over in his chair, Peter sat up and activated the holographic system with a wave of one hand.

"Okay, let's start today's work."

The two spent several hours checking and modifying the model, and readjusted the tasks of the underwater spacecraft one by one, before lying back on the chair again.

More than half of the day passed like this. This kind of day was too leisurely.

After finishing the work, Peter and Gwen cooked dinner together. Although there were robots that could do it for them, sometimes they would do these things themselves.

In the evening, the two served the recipes and connected to the group's psychic network, bringing in Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Stacey's family who were far away on earth. The advanced virtual reality network technology can even scan the ingredients of the food. Put the same taste into their mouths.

Amid the laughter of the two families, dinner was over and it was time to study.

The study is over and the day is coming to an end.

Lying back on the soft bed, Peter held everyone's arms and fell asleep, but this time, he dreamed of some strange things.

In his dream, he became Spider-Man again, flying under the night of New York every night, full of crime and chaos.

In the dream, Uncle Ben was not rescued by Harry and died due to his own inaction; Gwen died at the hands of a vicious weirdo; brutal criminals always threatened the safety of his last relative, Aunt May. ..

Every night, he is exhausted, but ultimately driven by regret and a vow to continue his crime-fighting activities.

In the empty dream, those words echoed:

"With great ability comes great responsibility."
