After all, in this kind of world, whether the protagonist or the villain survives to the end is not determined by strength at all, but by pure mystery.

If it were a matter of strength, the O'Connor family would have been dead eight hundred times over.

After hanging up the transaction communication, Josie left the room to be with his wife and children.

Mike and Carol are now over a year old, and they are fair-skinned and very healthy.

Furthermore, they had already received various vaccines that were not available in this era, which were given to them by Yuri, thus preventing the spread of many infectious diseases in this era. Of course, everyone in Josie's family, except for Vito, the semi-super soldier, and Jia Ying, the Inhuman butler, had also been vaccinated, which was also a kind of benefit.

These vaccines are now being rolled out to the market one by one, thanks to the promotion of Josh's biopharmaceutical company, and they come at a hefty price.

After all, not just any country offers free vaccines.

Essentially thanks to the patents on these vaccines and the Beacon Pharmaceuticals that the military is still procuring, Josie's biopharmaceutical company has gradually grown into a behemoth in the pharmaceutical industry.

Unfortunately, due to the war, the world of Red Alert, where Yuri lives, does not have Viagra, the essential drug for transmigrators. Josie is not a biochemist and does not know the ingredients of this drug, otherwise it would be another huge source of income.

When Josie arrived in the yard, the two babies were playing in the yard, being looked after by Margot and the family servants, pulling on Wednesday's fluffy tail.

Because he was afraid of hurting the two little ones, poor Wednesday didn't dare to move around too much, and his tail was almost bald from being stroked by the two little ones.

Meanwhile, Margot's other three siblings lay in the distance beside her, watching their brother being bullied by the two little devils.

It has a gloating feeling of "If you don't go to hell, who will?"

Dogs have a keen sense of smell and hearing. Before Josie even got close, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday were already wagging their tails and surrounding Josie.

"Finished with work? You don't look very happy!" Margot asked with a smile.

"Yes, I just met a potential business partner, but they happen to have a big problem that I can't get involved in, so I'm a little hesitant!" Josie said, giving the three big dogs a good rub on the head.

"Well, really, you don't need to worry about those things. I already have enough. If you ask me, you should resign from that CIA job!" Margot didn't know about the interdimensional trading device, so she just thought Josie was talking about business or work.

In fact, she did not approve of Josie's appointment as director of the CIA.

After all, with such good family conditions, there is absolutely no need for him to become a government official.

There's a lot to do, but not much income, and the power is only so-so, yet I'm incredibly busy.

It would be more appropriate to run for a senator or a representative.

Josie simply smiled and remained silent in response to Margot's remarks.

He can bear the dark side of this complicated world himself; this woman just needs to live a peaceful and happy life.

………………

"Ding! The host of the fifth trading dimension has died. We are searching for a new host!" Five days later, a notification sounded in Josie's mind while he was sleeping, which immediately woke him up.

Good heavens, even with his own revelation of the secret, Imhotep still died. Truly, it's all about metaphysics.

I wonder who the new host will be... Could it be someone from the O'Connor family? If so, Josie is already considering whether to send some Howard Stark specialties over.

Yeah, it's about the size of a golf ball, the kind that could blow up the entire Roxson refinery.

Fortunately, this did not happen. When Josie sneaked into the study without waking Margot and opened the trading device, an Asian woman in military uniform appeared on the other end.

“…Madam, you should already know what the interdimensional trading device is, so please introduce yourself!” Looking at this woman, Josie felt that she looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn’t remember her name.

"Sir, you can call me Chae Rim... The Dimensional Trading Device is a very magical device. So what can I get from it? And what can it offer you?" the Asian woman asked.

“Chae Rim…a nice name. Are you a soldier?” Josie asked with interest.

“Yes, I am a soldier of the Great Han Empire!” the female officer said proudly, her head held high.

The Great Han Empire? Josie was a little confused.

But I quickly realized, oh, that must be because the giant crab corrected the world line.

Oh, that's alright.

"The Great Han Empire, hmm, that's pretty good. So, how much do you know about the legend of the Dragon Emperor?" Josie looked at the other person's face and seemed to remember something. The other person should be a minor character in The Mummy 3.

However, compared to the female officer in the movie, the woman in front of me was too young and had no scars on her face.

It's not surprising, considering there's a timeline of over twenty years between the first and third movies.

Chapter 162 Venture Capital: Captain Carter!

Compared to the unlucky charlatan Imhotep, Chae Rim, who is just an ordinary person, is much easier to communicate with.

After some conversation, Josie basically learned about the other party's situation.

The current time on the other side is the end of 1926, which is exactly 21 years earlier than the timeline of the world Josie lives in.

This aligns with the timeline of the first Mummy movie—in the original story, Oconda first arrived in the lost city of Hamunaptra with the Outlaws in 1923, and his adventure with Evelyn began three years later, in 1926.

Chae Rim's father was once a military giant in Southwest China, commanding tens of thousands of troops at his peak, but he passed away from illness ten years ago.

However, his family is still considered a local elite.

It was precisely because of this identity that Cai Lin, who had admired her father since childhood, became a member of the female class of the Jiangcheng branch of the Huangfu Military Academy, which was nominally the official military academy of the Great Han Empire at the time—this was also the first time in the history of the Great Han Empire that female soldiers were openly recruited.

This is why Cai Lin proudly proclaimed herself a female officer of the Han Dynasty—such a status was indeed very rare in that era. After all, apart from those appointed privately, there were only 213 official female soldiers in the entire Han Empire at that time.

When the trading system selected her, she had just graduated from the female class of the military academy.

Normally, she would have gone to military intelligence agencies and done confidential paperwork like Peggy Carter, but the appearance of the interdimensional trading device has clearly given her a new direction.

Women who would join the army in this era are obviously not obedient girls in terms of their personalities.

Ambition is never the sole domain of men.

With the power of her family, it wouldn't be difficult for her to raise an army. The only problem, like Carter's, is that as a woman from the old society, it's not easy to make men submit.

But for Chae Rim, this is not a problem.

Because she has a younger brother.

She gathered her father's old followers in her brother's name, and then she controlled her brother—perfect!

Of course, all of this is contingent on Josie being able to provide her with sufficient support.

"This blue serum is called the Super Soldier Serum. There are only three available. Once injected, you'll gain superhuman strength, but it requires a lot of energy. This green serum is the corresponding high-energy nutrient solution. The two are used together. First, inject the Super Soldier Serum, then inject the high-energy nutrient solution within five minutes. The process will be a little painful, but there's no risk." Josie didn't mock the seemingly ridiculous ambition of the girl on the other end of the trading device. Instead, she offered ample support, immediately revealing her trump card—the new Super Soldier Serum that Yuri had spent months developing using Captain America's blood.

After Yuri's improvements, the new super soldier serum is different from the super soldier serum used by Captain America and Red Skull.

Its effect is simply to allow the human body to break through its limits, and it does not have the characteristics of amplifying personal emotions, such as making the good better or the evil worse.

In general, it is more similar to the semi-finished product used by Bucky and Vito, only more complete and without risk. Although Bucky and Vito were semi-finished products and their effects were not bad, the serum that Zola replicated was tested on thousands of people, and only the two of them survived. The success rate was frighteningly low.

It was also because of the imperfections of this drug that even a scientific genius like Yuri, with Vito's blood, was unable to replicate or improve it. He could only extract some of its components and combine them with some gene-based drugs from the Red Alert world to create the beast-transforming drug.

However, with Captain America's blood as a perfect super soldier, plus the research accumulated from the defective drugs on Vito, they were able to achieve their goals.

Researching new drugs becomes relatively easy.

In just a few months, Yuri had achieved initial results.

The new serum may be weaker than the original Super Soldier serum in terms of its maximum potential for power enhancement.

This is unavoidable, because an individual's combat effectiveness is never solely determined by physical strength; willpower is also a crucial factor.

While the original Super Soldier Potion amplifies personal desires and emotions, it also enhances the user's willpower to some extent.

This is well illustrated by Bucky. As a half-finished product, he couldn't defeat any of the new Winter Soldiers created using the super-soldier serum replicated from Howard Stark...

This is also why Captain America is always able to maintain a 50/50 balance of power when facing opponents far stronger than him.

However, the advantages of the new super soldier serum are also obvious: it is safe and has no side effects, and it is easy to mass-produce, making it very suitable for widespread use. At the same time, the existence of the high-energy nutritional supplement also eliminates the need for the original super soldier serum to consume a huge amount of electricity and use special rays to replenish and enhance energy, like Captain America, making the enhancement process very simple.

In fact, for military and medical applications, this is the truly perfect super soldier drug.

Furthermore, preliminary experiments have shown that after soldiers have used this super soldier serum, supplementing it with the Posian serum before learning gunfighting techniques will be twice as effective!

It is precisely because this potion is too perfect that Josie will not release it casually in the short term, because if this thing were to spread, it could really completely change the current human landscape, which would not be a good thing for Josie at this stage.

However, if used for interdimensional trading, it will become another best-selling item.

With this super soldier serum as a foundation, no matter how ridiculous Cai Lin's ambition or how naive her mind, as long as she doesn't face a bug like Imhotep or the Dragon Emperor, she will basically be invincible in the world of gods and demons—as long as she is alive and has the help of the trading system, she will have countless opportunities to make a comeback.

"Furthermore, this place contains military equipment and logistical supplies that are twenty years ahead of your world standard. It should be enough for you for a year. With these supplies, you can easily build a decent army. Given the current strength of the warlords in your Great Han Empire, you could definitely dominate the entire empire. Taking over the Three Qin regions shouldn't be a problem," Qiao Xi said. "As long as you can take over the Three Qin regions and find the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, we'll have a basis to continue our trade!"

Since Chae Rim currently has nothing of note to offer in exchange for Josie, these items are essentially pure investments.

If Chae Rim still can't develop a military-sized supply of weapons and logistical materials, plus three super soldier elixirs, then there's no point in her continuing to invest. Josie wouldn't mind giving her a Howard specialty and then finding a more reliable trading partner.

As I always say, investing always involves some risk.

This risk is something that Josh can easily bear right now.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Josh Kahn. I will definitely complete your request as soon as possible!” Cai Lin was unaware of Josh’s hidden thoughts. At this moment, she was completely immersed in excitement as she looked at the mountain of supplies that Josh had traded for and placed in the system warehouse.

A large number of "advanced" tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and even airplanes.

Not to mention machine guns and rifles.

With such a large amount of military equipment, not to mention gathering her old troops, she could quickly assemble a powerful fighting force even if she had to recruit new ones.

Money? Not at all. Among the logistical supplies that Josie traded to her was a huge amount of canned meat. She could sell these canned meats and get at least ten times the amount of grain in return.

These days, having food in your hands is much more useful than money.

The only potential problem is the fuel supply needed later.

But that's not a big problem. Josie has already told her that there are abundant oil and gas resources in the Shaanxi region. As long as she occupies that area, he can help provide oil extraction and refining equipment as well as help train workers.
