Chapter 1024 Shocking the Ordinary People (I)

In a classroom at New York University, Peter Parker packed up his books, pushed his heavy black-framed glasses, turned to the classmate next to him and said, "I'm not going to the lab this afternoon. I've left my key under the flowerpot at the door of the lab. If the seniors don't go back tomorrow morning, I'll go get the key from you."

The classmate next to him was a fat Asian. He winked at him, made an OK gesture, stretched his neck, glanced at Gwen who had just walked over from the front row, bumped Peter with his shoulder and said, "I knew you were going on a date. By the way, have you applied for the shuttle card? If you take the shuttle, it only takes ten minutes from here to the commercial street in Brooklyn, which can save you a lot of time. "

Peter pushed his glasses again, looked at his classmates with some confusion, and said: "Don't you buy tickets for the shuttle at the platform? Why do you need a transportation card again?"

The Asian classmate shook his head helplessly and said: "Peter, you have been staying in the laboratory for too long, and you can't keep up with the times. You can buy tickets for the shuttle of the Osborne Group at the platform, but not for the Stark Group."

"Both the shuttle and the sky train of the Stark Group require a unified transportation card. Don't you have one? ... Forget it, I'll lend you mine first, and have a good date."

After saying that, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, untied one of the shiny diamond crystals from the keychain, and threw it to Peter. After Peter caught it, he scratched his head with some confusion.

At this time, Gwen came over and said, "Oh, isn't this the new transportation card issued by the Stark Group? You got it so quickly? I was worried that if we were to use the shuttle of the Osborn Group, we might have to take a long detour."

Peter smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not me who did it. Recently, I have been following Mr. Stark to test the operation route of the sky train. I didn't know there was such a thing..."

Gwen and Peter walked out of the classroom side by side. Along the way, many people greeted them, and some people laughed teasingly and joked about their relationship. Gwen didn't do anything, but Peter felt a little embarrassed. He said, "How about we go around from the corridor next to us? There are too many people here."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Now everyone knows that you have 32 proprietary patents for the newly civilianized shuttle technology. You are a celebrity in the Stark Group and the Solar System Development Program Laboratory, and you are a physicist. Many seniors in the department have asked me about you. "

Gwen lifted her hair on the side of her ear, patted Peter's arm and said: "Although you are angry, you still have to be careful. If someone asks you for help, don't refuse too stiffly. If you really can't do it, just blame it on the group's rules, and don't think about anything..."

"Hey, Peter, Gwen, you two are here?" Peter suddenly heard a hearty laugh in front of him. A handsome young man in a suit walked quickly from the corner, followed by a beautiful girl in a long skirt. Peter walked up to him with some surprise and hugged him, saying: "Hey, Harry, why are you in school today? I was just going to Osborne Group to find you..."

Gwen hugged Mary Jane Watson behind Harry. Mary Jane covered her chest and laughed, and Gwen was confused by his laughter.

Mary Jane leaned on Harry's shoulder, laughing so hard that she couldn't stop shaking. Harry shook his head helplessly and said, "Before we came here, we made a bet. I bet that Peter must be staying at home in the lab, but Mary said that Peter must be with Gwen. The two of them are going on a date. Maybe he is just having a headache because he doesn't have a transportation card."

"See, I told you, Peter is not a nerd as they say. Otherwise, how could he pursue Gwen? She has charmed an entire team!"

After that, Mary Jane took out a diamond-shaped crystal from her Chanel bag, handed it to Gwen and said, "Here, this is a universal transportation card for the Stark Group. It can be used for both the shuttle and the latest skytrain. If you go shopping in Brooklyn, it's still most convenient to take the skytrain..."

"Oh, thank you, God, you are so thoughtful. However, my classmate lent me a transportation card." Peter shook the key ring in his hand, and Harry said in surprise, " Don't you know? Stark Group has one card per person, and one card cannot be verified twice in a short period of time, so you must have two cards. I was just about to give you mine..."

Peter opened his eyes wide in surprise and pushed his glasses, saying, "Why is it so strict?"

"More than that, I heard that Stark Group is preparing for the real-name transportation card, but I heard that there is a lot of resistance from shareholders, as if they are afraid that users will think they are accessing their privacy..." Harry shook his head, and then said with some regret: "However, I think that with Stark's determination, it should be able to be implemented. After all, Stark Group has a huge advantage in this regard..."

"I heard that China has already implemented it, and even transportation cards are not needed, direct facial recognition, which is very convenient." Peter took the transportation card from Mary Jane and handed it to Gwen. Mary Jane shrugged and said, "It is convenient, but Congress cannot pass such a bill..."

"I heard that the election is about to start?" Gwen also looked at Mary Jane and said: "It is said that this president has a high chance of being re-elected. Uncle Norman seems to have an intention?"

Harry nodded and said: "Yes, the Osborn Group has always been optimistic about the current president, but his competitors are not weak either. Now it depends on the intention of the Stark Group. I don't think it's a big deal. No matter who comes to power, the reorganization of national transportation lines is an unavoidable proposition..."

"Look, you are talking about this topic again!" Mary Jane fanned her face with her hands, deliberately made a weird expression and said: "As long as the three of you get together, within three minutes, you will talk about national affairs. See Come on, I have to go, don't disturb you guys from deciding the future of mankind..."

As she said that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but her arm was still hooked on Harry's arm. Harry smiled and pulled her back, and Gwen also smiled and reached out to pull her. After a while of joking, Harry spoke first:

"You go first, my father asked me to talk to the principal. The Osborne Group is willing to fund the laboratory of New York University and provide them with two latest shuttle samples for research. I have to confirm this..."

After saying that, he waved his hand and left with Mary Jane. Gwen held Peter's arm. After the two walked out of the teaching building, they did not rush to leave New York University, but turned around and walked to the back of the teaching building.

Following the path behind the teaching building, we came to the side door of New York University. Originally, there should not be many people here, but now there is a long queue. Peter looked ahead and said, "Oh my God! Why are there so many people on the shuttle?! Otherwise, let's take the sky train? I heard that it is faster..."

"Do you believe it? There will be more people on the sky train?" Gwen hugged her arms and shook her head and said, "The line from Brooklyn to New York University has just been opened. People want to try something new. If we go now, we will be squeezed to death."

Gwen's tone was a little disgusted. She rarely spoke in such a tone. Peter laughed and reached out to pull her arm. The two of them pulled and tugged, and still stood in the queue and started to queue.

Not long after, they were in the front of the line. However, what appeared in front of them was not a bulky elevator, but a long electric pole and a platform that seemed to have no protective measures.

The electric pole was located in the center of the platform. Four people could stand on each of the four directions of the platform, and 16 people could be transported at a time. Therefore, the team moved very quickly.

Peter pulled Gwen onto the platform. Before the platform floated up, blue beams suddenly lit up around the platform, which had no protective measures. The fence formed by the beams was just as high as Peter's waist, which could prevent passengers from falling and would not hinder them from enjoying the scenery.

Gwen put her hand over and touched the cold metal. She said, "It's amazing, isn't it? After the energy is compressed to the extreme, it can actually be materialized. Wait, is this your patent?"

"Uh... not exactly..." Peter thought for a while and said, "It was developed by Dr. Otto's laboratory. I heard that it is a by-product of the development of clean energy..."

"Although this thing is convenient, it is not strong and can only be used for civilian purposes. If you have to say what the advantages are, it is probably that the cost is relatively low and it is easy to carry." Peter looked down at the root of the fence that was emitting light. There was a projector there, which was the source of the beam.

The platform stopped at a height of about seven floors. A small opening was opened in the fence toward the east, and a platform was extended. With a "whoosh", a shuttle stopped in front of the platform.

The shuttle is shaped like its name, about ten meters long from head to tail, and is wide in front and narrow in the back, thick in front and thin in the back. No propulsion device can be seen on the outside, but the speed is very fast.

The lower part of the shuttle is equipped with a propulsion device, so it is opaque, and the upper part is completely transparent with a sunshade. When Peter walked in, he did not find any shaking, much more stable than a bus.

A shuttle can seat 32 people, and they are not allowed to stand. Everyone is wearing seat belts in their seats. However, there is a large gap between seats, and because the upper part is transparent, the field of vision is also very good.

Peter and Gwen sat in the first row of the double seats, talking quietly. Peter said first: "I really didn't expect that this project could be implemented so quickly. About a month ago, I proposed to Mr. Stark the civilianization of the shuttle transporter, and it was developed so quickly..."

Gwen pulled his sleeve and whispered: "It is always easy to convert military to civilian use. What's more, the solar system development plan has been going on for so long, and the transportation system from Earth to Mercury is mature, not to mention the surface?"

"However, I still solved a lot of problems. After all, there is no need to consider safety when transporting goods. Even if it rolls over or crashes, at most it will lose a little cargo, but it is not the case for transporting humans on the surface..."

"Also, gravity must be considered. Fortunately, Mr. Stark made up for this with his mecha power system. I heard that Mr. Strange's levitation, that is, the anti-gravity system, which he studied on the magic side, seems to have come in handy..."

"But I think there may be room for improvement." Gwen thought for a while, took Peter's hand, drew a pattern on his palm, and said: "Look, if we design the shuttle into a hollow ring, and add three cabins in the center of the ring, the propulsion system and the passenger space will be completely separated, so that not only the field of vision is better, but also the safety is more guaranteed..."

"But can the ring structure ensure the stability of the propulsion system?" Peter frowned and said, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said: "Wait, it seems that it is not impossible. I remember that there are similar versions of transport planes made by Mr. Stark..."

"Stop talking, we have arrived at the station." Gwen stood up first, pulled Peter up, and then walked out of the shuttle.

Peter reacted after getting off the platform.

"We are already at the commercial street? Isn't this too fast?!"
