American comics: Becoming the god of technology from Osborn

Chapter 34 Doctor Octopus Pleads for Electro
"This plane should be a model of the Nazi Air Force during World War II. It seems that an Axis pilot was shot down here."

When Krieger arrived at the wreckage site, he admitted that he felt a little disappointed.

Because his initial expectation was that they had discovered a spaceship from outer space. Isn't this often drawn in comics? The extremely cold and sparsely populated areas are always filled with the products of alien civilizations that secretly landed on Earth for various reasons.

Then, countless years later, it was accidentally discovered by humans who set foot here.

But it turns out that comics are comics and aliens don't exist.

"It's such a false alarm. Finding such an antique from World War II won't help us at all. Although we might be able to make some money by transporting the wreckage back to build a theme park or something..."

Krieger thought with little interest that he didn't believe anything valuable could be found from a plane that crashed more than seventy years ago.

If Krieger had not seen his team members showing great curiosity in exploring the wreckage of the plane, and if he had not relied on these team members for protection throughout his entire trip to Greenland, he might have ignored the wreckage at first sight and led the team in other directions.

"Just think of it as a little fun for the boys. I'm the most caring boss in the world."

"Master...Manager, you must come and see this..."

Not long after, one of the team members who had entered the cabin to search suddenly rushed out and shouted to Krieger excitedly.

"Young people are just ignorant. What great things could have happened decades ago?"

Krieger looked at the excited expressions of his teammates and thought with disdain.

"Come on, let me see what's got you so excited—"

"——A generous gift~~~Thank you!"

When Krieg entered the depths of the cabin and saw the round shield frozen under a thick layer of ice, he realized that he was wrong, very wrong.

"Harry, I have good news for you."

In Osborn Building, Doctor Octopus found Harry with a happy face.

"The research and development of the prosthesis has been basically completed and can enter the clinical trial stage!"

"So fast?"

Harry couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard the good news brought by Doctor Octopus. When he asked Otto to start the research and development of the new prosthetic body, he thought it would take at least half a year to enter the experimental stage. He didn't expect it to be done in less than two months.

"I didn't expect the progress to be so smooth at first. After I started the formal research, I found that the compatibility of the bionic man's biological component technology with the neural control system far exceeded my expectations. I completed the prosthetics of the limbs, eyes, ears and vocal cords with almost no effort."

Doctor Octopus said happily.

"It will take some time to make a prosthetic body with only internal organs and bones left, but it's already in the final stage."

"As expected of Dr. Otto, this job can only be done so well by you."

Harry praised.

"This is not just my own achievement. Two assistants also helped me a lot. Without them, I might have taken a lot of detours."

Doctor Octopus shook his head modestly. "Harry, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but there has never been a good time, so I think now is the best time."

Suddenly, the joy on Doctor Octopus's face disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.

"what happened?"

Seeing Doctor Octopus so serious, Harry also became serious.

"This matter is related to one of my assistants. His name is Max Dillon. His position is the lowest-level electrical maintenance worker in the Osborne Group, but this position is seriously mismatched with his abilities. I can assure you that he is definitely one of the top electrical engineers in New York."

Max Dillon?
When Harry heard the name said by Doctor Octopus, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't believe that Doctor Octopus would say this name.

One of Spider-Man's most famous nemeses, Electro, mutated and gained the superpower of storing and discharging electricity after falling into a pool full of electric eels during a maintenance accident.

There are many versions of Electro's origin. The Electro in the main universe has nothing to do with the Osborn Group, while in some versions, Electro is an employee of the Osborn Group.

It looks like the Electro in this universe is the latter.

It is worth mentioning that as early as the first day Harry woke up from his sleep and returned to Osborn Group, he tried to look for familiar names on the employee roster to see if he could find a few talents who would become super villains or superheroes in the future.

As a result, apart from Gwen Stacy, who was an excellent intern and ranked relatively high, he didn't find any acquaintances. He thought that the Osborn Group didn't have those people at all, or that there were people but it was not time for them to join Osborn yet.

Now Doctor Octopus mentioned Electro's name, which was really beyond Harry's expectation.

If Max Dillon had been an employee of Osborne Corporation from the beginning, why didn't Harry see his name on the employee roster?
"I believe in your judgment of people, Dr. Otto, but why have I never known of such an outstanding scientific researcher? Where did you discover him?"

Harry asked seriously.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Otto sneered upon hearing this and said, "Of course you don't know, because Max was deliberately hidden by the director of the electrical department because he did not graduate from a prestigious university and could not learn to please his superiors."

"The electrical director plagiarized countless plans from Max and shamefully claimed them as his own, taking credit for work that was actually Max's."

"In order to conceal Max's existence, he even deliberately changed the name on his work ID to Macus Dillon."

Oh my god, no wonder Harry didn’t find Electro in the list at the beginning, it turns out that his name was changed.

But this is too ridiculous!
If it wasn't for Otto who told Harry this, he would never have believed that such an outrageous thing would happen right under his nose.

No, Max had joined the Osborn Group a long time ago, or rather, under Norman's nose...

It doesn't seem right. Norman's mental problems might be the cause of such incidents.

"Harry, similar situations are not uncommon in the Osborne Group. This is one of the key reasons why I broke up with Norman. He knew everything, but he allowed corruption among the top management of the group. I am telling you this now because I hope you can change these situations."

Otto said with a serious expression.

After hearing his words, Harry fell into deep thought. There were too many things to do during this period of time. He only focused on the top board of directors and shareholders of the Osborne Group, and indeed ignored the management within the group.
