American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Although Josie had full control of the CIA from the sidelines, her main motivation was to have an extra informant and make things easier. She couldn't actually go to the office every day; going once every three days was considered good.

Going to work is like going to a funeral, sitting in the office is like being in prison. How desperate must Josie be to go to the office every day?

Anyway, the entire CIA, from top to bottom, is staffed by his people, so what's wrong with slacking off a little?

If anything happens, everyone from the bureau chief to supervisors like Ophelia and Carter, as well as the other division chiefs, will report to him.

Josie took the file from Fletcher and opened it. Besides the file, there were also several newspapers.

"The Air Force spotted a UFO in Roswell? And it was even published in the newspapers? Is the Air Force stupid or is the local government stupid? Or is this just a prank?" Josie said, somewhat speechless, after quickly glancing through the documents.

In Josie's original timeline, the Roswell incident was a sensation in the United States for decades, mainly referring to the UFO crash that occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

One day in 1947, the Roswell Daily News suddenly published a news report that the U.S. military had discovered a UFO in the area.

This news was immediately reprinted by major newspapers such as The New York Times, and its transmission spread worldwide via radio waves. The news caused a huge uproar among the American public, but the US government insisted it was merely a crashed US military reconnaissance balloon.

Furthermore, photos of various alien corpses and spaceship fragments have been widely circulated.

This incident has become a widely circulated UFO story.

There are various conflicting opinions.

However, the most reliable account comes from a female scientist who worked at Oak Hill National Laboratory in the late 1940s, who revealed it in 2001. She stated that the Roswell incident was not an alien event, but rather a series of secret high-altitude human experiments conducted by the U.S. military at the time! These included biochemical experiments, medical experiments, and aerial human testing experiments. The strange, alien-like corpses found in Roswell were actually severely disabled humans used as test subjects in the U.S. military's high-altitude experiments.

Because they didn't want the public to know the truth, they fabricated a series of so-called alien stories to confuse the public.

Given the US military's past practices, this possibility is very high.

However, Josh wasn't American in his previous life, nor was he a UFO enthusiast, so he really didn't know about this.

And even if they find out, they won't take it lightly.

Perhaps the Roswell incident in the original timeline was indeed a hoax staged by the US military to cover up its human experiments, but in this world that seems to be dominated by Marvel, that's not necessarily the case.

“It’s not a prank. Our intelligence personnel have confirmed it, and the military has also admitted it. It was indeed a UFO, and the bodies are real. However, the spaceship was severely damaged in the explosion, and it’s almost impossible to find any large fragments. The bodies were also basically burned to a crisp, so they are of little value,” Fletcher said. “The president sent us over just to go through the motions and to make a summary.”

“In that case, let Captain Carter go. She’s getting bored out of her mind!” Josie nodded in agreement. New Mexico? Luckily, the timing wasn’t right, otherwise, if a hammer fell from the sky, that would be a real problem. Josie didn’t want to have any contact with Asgard.

But what kind of aliens would come to Earth in this era?

Kree? Skrull? It couldn't possibly be Superman or a Saiyan, could it?

Josie's thoughts began to wander.

................................................

In Roswell, New Mexico, a girl who looks to be in her early twenties is looking at the scenery on both sides of the street with great interest, which also attracts the curious glances of passers-by.

The girl was wearing a very strange-looking bodysuit made of leather. Although it didn't reveal any skin, it perfectly accentuated her slender curves, which was obviously out of place in this era.

Fortunately, this was a predominantly white neighborhood, so no one bothered them in broad daylight.

Of course, if someone really causes trouble for this girl, she will most likely not be the one to suffer.

Because this beautiful girl, who seems no different from an ordinary person, is actually not human, but an alien.

Her name is Mar-Vell, she comes from Hala, is a member of the Kree Empire's Starfleet, and is also a genius scientist.

That's right, she is the Kree mentor who single-handedly created Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

However, Mar-Vell is still very young, only in his forties—well, don't be surprised, the Kree live much longer than humans, so it's normal for someone in their forties to look like a human in their twenties.

So even in 1989, more than 40 years later, when Captain Marvel was born, she still looked like a middle-aged woman in the movie.

Recently, while she was carrying out a cleanup operation targeting Imperial wanted criminals roaming within the C sector of the Empire, she inadvertently tracked them to this backward planet designated as C-53 on the Imperial star map.

Yes, that's right. The spaceship that crashed in the suburban farm a few days ago, and the dead alien, were the wanted criminals she was chasing. She also destroyed the spaceship.

Of course, those wanted criminals of the Kree Empire were not Skrulls, but merely escaped slaves.

As one of the most powerful empires in the universe, the Kree Empire has destroyed and enslaved countless civilizations in the past, not just the Skrulls.

For example, in the original storyline, Star-Lord's adoptive father, Yondu, the leader of the Raiders, was a war slave of the Kree when he was young.

However, after taking down those wanted criminals, Mar-Vell did not rush to leave Earth.

Because Sector C is a relatively remote sector of the Kree Empire, and Earth is the outermost region of this sector—it actually extends beyond the territory of the Kree Empire.

Moreover, according to the records on the star map, the last recorded visit of the Kree Empire to this place was thousands of years ago.

But after following those unlucky souls to this planet, Marwell discovered that a relatively advanced civilization had already developed there, and they even had artificial satellites.

This piqued her interest greatly!

So she decided to spend some time on this planet.

Chapter 174 Captain Carter and Captain Marvel

"Thank you for your patronage, that'll be two dollars in total!" The owner of the fruit stand on the street handed a bag of fresh cashews to Marwell while announcing the price.

The cashews here are not the kind of dried fruit commonly found in supermarkets or grocery stores in later generations; those dried fruits are actually just the seeds that grow on top of a real cashew.

The cashews here are whole, fresh fruits. They look somewhat like wax apples, and the flesh is smooth and juicy. They taste a bit like pineapple and are quite delicious.

However, because fresh fruit is not easy to preserve, it can only be eaten in some tropical native areas, and in most areas, only the seeds that have been dried can be eaten.

In the United States, fresh cashews are only commonly found in some southern states like New Mexico.

Marwell just tasted it and immediately fell in love with the fruit.

It's obvious, however, that Marwell didn't have any dollars.

Of course, with her abilities, it would be easy for her to get some dollars, but as a proud warrior of the noble Kree Starfleet, Mar-Vell disdained to do things like robbery, so she handed the shopkeeper a small metal bar.

This is the universal currency of the galaxy, Starcoin.

This small piece is worth one thousand Star Coins.

Although Earth has never traded with extraterrestrial civilizations, we can still roughly estimate the exchange rate using food as an equivalent.

Basically, a purchase of 1,000 Star Coins is equivalent to 10,000 US dollars in this era.

This actually inflates the value of the US dollar.

After all, a few hundred thousand Star Coins is enough to buy a small spaceship, while several million US dollars is only enough to buy a Mirage 3 fighter jet—this was the original factory price of the Mirage 3 fighter jet in 1970. In this era, because the purchasing power of the US dollar is higher, the price is even lower.

However, Marwell clearly overlooked the fact that although Earth has developed a decent civilization, it has not yet connected with cosmic civilizations, so it is impossible for it to recognize Starcoins, even if Starcoins are made of precious metals that are valuable in the universe.

So the boss was dumbfounded.

"What is this?" the shopkeeper asked, waving the star coins in his hand.

"Money! This is a thousand dollars! It's enough to buy your shop!" Marwell muttered, munching on a juicy cashew.

"Oh, sweetheart, this joke isn't funny at all! Judging by your clothes, are you a foreigner? Even if you don't have US dollars, pounds, francs, lira (Italy), pesetas (Spain), or di Nero (Portugal) will do, instead of trying to fool me with this little metal bar!" the shopkeeper said helplessly.

“These aren’t small iron bars, these are star coins!” Marwell said to himself.

"...Hey girl, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?" Seeing that Marwell was so unyielding, the boss got angry and immediately started rolling up his sleeves.

Two dollars is no small sum for a small business owner like him.

Seeing this, Marwell got angry. A thousand star coins was his daily salary, enough to have a good meal at the most luxurious restaurant on Hala, the capital of the Kree Empire.

As a member of the Kree Empire's elite Starfleet unit, Mar-Vell's salary was among the highest in the Kree Empire.

If the Starfleet team didn't normally have to spend money on food, clothing, and shelter, Mar-Vell wouldn't have been so generous as to give away a thousand Starcoins.

However, it is precisely because he joined a StarCraft team at a young age that Mar-Vell is relatively lacking in interpersonal skills and social etiquette, leading to this rather awkward situation.

Upon seeing the natives of this planet dare to roll up their sleeves at him, Marville was furious and wanted to teach them a lesson.

Just then, a strong female voice rang out from the side, and a large, delicate hand handed a five-dollar bill to the shopkeeper.

"I'll pay for her; consider the extra a tip!" the man said.

Marwell was startled by the voice. When did this person get to my side? He looked in the direction of the sound.

So tall, so big!

This was Marwell's first impression.

Although the Kree Empire's technology is many years more advanced than Earth's, the average person's physique is not that different.

The average height of men is only 1.8-2.0 meters, which is only slightly taller than that of ordinary people.

The height of women is also roughly the same, with an average height of around 1.70 meters.

As a member of StarCraft, Mar-Vell is 1.75 meters tall, which is considered average.

But the Earth woman who appeared in front of her was over 1.8 meters tall and looked even more robust than her—beneath her seemingly ordinary clothes (a women's suit) lay extremely powerful muscles.

As a soldier, Marville recognized it immediately.

The other man's broad chest made Marville, who was also a woman, feel a little inferior—although he was an alien, the Kree also valued large size as beauty.

Fortunately, as a member of the StarCraft team, Mar-Vell had a very high level of composure and quickly regained his composure, asking, "Who are you?"

“Peggy Carter, you can just call me Peggy!” the woman said, extending her hand in introduction.

That's right, the visitor was Peggy Carter, who was sent by Josie to Roswell to investigate the UFO crash.

After she arrived in Roswell with the CIA, her investigation of the UFO crash site yielded results largely consistent with the military's: several charred corpses and some metal fragments.

Aside from confirming to governments that extraterrestrial life exists, it has virtually no value.
