Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long.
Early the next morning, the sound of helicopters could be heard over the castle; Carter, having received the news, had returned.
Chapter 265 The First Galaxy
"Sorry I'm a little late!" Inside the castle, Carter, dressed in a women's suit, gave each of Josie and the other two a hug before saying apologetically.
“You arrived much faster than I expected, after all, you’re a really busy person these days!” Josie said with a smile.
This is not an exaggeration, but rather a statement that, compared to Josie, who has already "retired" from the CIA, Peggy Carter, now the leader of IFM, is indeed a very busy person.
In particular, Peggy Carter is not only a manager, but also often likes to personally go on missions, which makes her even busier.
However, for a super soldier, this level of busyness is not a problem at all.
It is precisely because of Peggy Carter's almost relentless work ethic that she and the IMF she heads are highly valued by the current President Eisenhower's administration.
“Speaking of which, many recent cases are related to the intelligent robots produced by your Seven Nations Joint Technology Group. On the one hand, many black communities are unwilling to be relocated back to Africa and have organized numerous armed resistance forces. Although none of them are particularly powerful, they have caused a lot of trouble. On the other hand, Russia is also making frequent moves, especially in Annam, which has become a powder keg!” Peggy Carter said.
"Oh, that's really bad news!" Josie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Right, the Vietnam War is about to begin.
Then he looked at Marwell to the side.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Carter looked at Marwell and asked curiously when he saw that his "old flame" looked unhappy.
“She got a six-month vacation and came to Earth specifically to invite you to travel to the Kree Empire, but it seems from what you’re saying that she can’t find the time?” Margot explained when Marwell didn’t speak.
"Ah...is that so?" Carter looked at Marwell in surprise upon hearing this.
Marwell nodded somewhat dejectedly.
She hadn't seen her beloved for years and just wanted to take a nice vacation together, but why did things keep going so wrong?
"Six months...that's really difficult. The situation is tense lately, and even half a month would be hard to find!" Peggy Carter said with some regret.
"Is there really no other way?" Marwell asked, somewhat unwillingly.
"This..." Carter didn't know what to say for a moment.
As the head of a special agency, Carter could actually take a vacation if he really wanted to.
Ultimately, it depends on whether Carter himself is willing.
However, given Carter's work-oriented personality, it's highly likely he wouldn't agree.
Her hesitant attitude actually illustrates this point.
Marwell could see it perfectly well.
“Actually, if you ask me, Peggy, you should go!” Josie said, noticing the atmosphere had turned a bit cold.
If Carter refuses the Kree mission, then Josie and Margot will almost certainly not be able to go, and Mar-Vell will most likely stay on Earth with Carter.
How does this work?
"Oh? Why?" Carter couldn't help but ask upon hearing Josie's words. She still trusted Josie, her former "superior" and old friend, very much.
“It’s a very simple reason, Peggy. I think you’ve heard it from Mar-Vell: there are countless other alien civilizations in the universe besides the Kree Empire, right?” Josie said calmly.
“That’s right!” Cardi nodded.
"So do you think we humans will always be confined to this corner of the solar system?" Josie asked again.
"Of course not, we humans will eventually venture into the universe!" Carter said firmly.
“In that case, don’t you think we should learn about the distribution of power in the universe in advance to prepare for the future? Of course, with Mar-Vell around, she can show us all this, but don’t you think we should still see it for ourselves?” Josie said.
His reason can be described as high-sounding.
While Carter's work at the IMF was important, it was ultimately just a power struggle within the global political arena.
But to "explore" the universe, to put it in a more lofty way, is for the future of all mankind.
Josie's words left Carter speechless, unable to think of any reason to refuse.
“Yes, Peggy, what I can show you is ultimately limited. You’ll only understand a lot of things after you see them for yourself. This is a great opportunity!” Josie’s words opened up Marwell’s mind.
“…Okay, that’s certainly an impeccable reason…I agree. You’ve really got it! You’ve come up with such a respectable reason for a vacation!” After a moment’s thought, Peggy Carter smiled helplessly and agreed.
"Haha, this is actually for my own sake. Margot and I really want to see extraterrestrial civilizations and the beauty of space. This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime. But if you don't go, then we probably won't be able to go either. Marville will definitely stay on Earth with you!" Josie said with a laugh, half-jokingly.
Carter couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. Perhaps it was precisely because of Josie's open-minded personality that she trusted him so much.
...Well, after several years of PUA, Carter can now be said to be completely fooled by Josh.
At this point, if Josie were to say that Captain America was actually the captain of Hydra, she would probably be skeptical...
And so, the trip to the Kree Empire was decided.
After three days of preparation, the Josies and Peggy Carter boarded Mar-Vell's Kerry cruiser.
During those three days, Carter also learned that Josie and Margot were no longer ordinary people.
Although I was surprised at first, I felt relieved afterward.
Although he became a super soldier earlier and entered the ranks of the "extraordinary".
But you should know that it was Josie who guided her to become a super soldier.
Her knowledge of the supernatural world, including information about Dracula whom she had met, came almost entirely from Josie.
So now that we know that Josie and her husband possess superhuman powers, it's not hard to accept.
As mentioned earlier, interstellar travel in the Marvel Universe is quite unique. Faster-than-light travel is a very advanced technology that even a powerful cosmic empire like the Kree has not mastered.
Their interstellar travel primarily relies on wormhole jumping.
Of course, there are two types of wormhole formation: one is formed naturally in the universe, and the other is created by humans.
However, the latter is rare; the first type is more common.
The wormholes in the outer reaches of Earth are naturally the first type.
This wormhole is located between Earth's orbit and Mars' orbit, and is very well hidden.
According to Marwell, she discovered this wormhole jump point in the solar system by accident while chasing a fugitive, and that's how she found Earth.
Moreover, although she found records of Earth from a thousand years ago in the Kree Empire's archives, these records did not actually contain any mention of this jump point.
Because of his friends Carter and Josie, Marwell did not update the relevant information.
After listening to Mar-Vell's explanation of the jump point, Josie knew that if it weren't for his existence, the jump point would undoubtedly have been reported. This explains why Mar-Vell inexplicably came to Earth to study the Tesseract and the faster-than-light engine in the original story, and why the Skrulls and Kree later knew about the jump point and were able to get to Earth quickly.
But now...
Soon, the spaceship entered the space jump point, and after a moment of disorientation, the spaceship quickly appeared in another unfamiliar starry sky.
"This is the Terry system, or as you would call it on Earth, Brand 2147. It's about 8 light-years from our solar system. It's an old planet, and there's no life in the entire system," Marwell explained, opening the protective deck of the porthole and looking out at the magnificent starry sky and the dazzling star in the system.
"It's so beautiful!" Josie exclaimed, standing by the porthole and gazing at the magnificent view of the universe. Margot, leaning against him, was also captivated by the view.
Neither of them were unfamiliar with the universe; in fact, they had explored the entire solar system over the past few years.
But now that we've left the solar system and arrived in a new star system, the scenery in space is quite different.
If this was true for the two who had seen the view of space, then it goes without saying that it was even more true for Peggy Carter, who was going to space for the first time.
I am completely captivated by the beauty of space.
"Haha, the scenery of the universe is actually not that special. At first, it seems particularly magnificent, but after seeing it a lot, it only gives people a feeling of loneliness!" Marwell said with a laugh.
Having spent years drifting in space, she was long immune to the so-called beauty of the starry sky.
“But this galaxy is indeed a nice place, isn’t it?” Josie said meaningfully.
"Perhaps, but it's still too remote, so it's not very valuable for development!" Marwell, piloting the spaceship, didn't realize the problem in Josie's words and answered casually.
The next jump point is in outer space outside the Trillion system, about twenty astronomical units (one astronomical unit is about 1.49 million kilometers) away from their current location. At the extreme sublight speed of Mach 800,000, it would take Marwell's spaceship a day and a half to travel there.
So after admiring the scenery for a while, Josie found an excuse to take Margot back to their room to rest.
After setting the spaceship to autopilot, Marwell took Carter back to their room.
The two girls hadn't seen each other for several years, and soon things started to fall into place.
Meanwhile, Josie, inside the other spaceship's cabin, wasn't idle either.
"How's the situation?" The first thing Josh did upon returning to the room was to walk to the table and tap on a tape recorder.
This is the latest and most advanced small recorder on Earth.
However, they were no longer using magnetic tapes, but optical discs.
Under Josie's influence, Earth's technology has undergone several major changes in the short span of just over a decade since he transmigrated to this world.
Forget about color TVs; personal computers and mobile phones are already becoming popular.
After all, intelligent robots are already being gradually promoted, so it's easy to imagine the level of technology in other areas that has been developed.
Even if we don't go to the level of Josie's previous life in the 21st century, it's roughly on par with the level of the 80s and 90s.
This tape recorder was one of the few electrical appliances that Josie openly brought onto the spaceship under the guise of listening to music.
However, it is only a tape recorder on the surface.
With a series of clattering sounds, the tape recorder quickly transformed into a small robot, a miniature Transformer.
