A week later, a military truck slowly pulled into a secret military base in Lincoln County, southern Nevada.
This base was part of the U.S. Nuclear Test Administration Area, designated for conducting so highly classified experints.
In the future, this base would be known by another na—the infamous Area 51.
But to Josh, now the head of the CIA, this mysterious Area 51 held no secrets at all. In fact, even before he founded the CIA, he had been here several tis.
This was because Boeing had received information about so of the U.S. military's secret projects before the first space launch, and so of those projects were housed here.
At that ti, there were still so restrictions on Josh in this facility.
But after he beca director of the CIA, even those restrictions disappeared.
For example, Josh was now standing in a lab building on the base watching the military truck enter the compound.
When the truck stopped in front of the lab building, ten CIA volunteers, led by Carter, got out—they were participants of the Second Generation Rebirth Project.
As for the 290 black soldiers recruited by the military for experintation, their trials had long since ended. Only a little more than 50 of them were still alive.
Of the surviving 50, more than half were in very poor condition.
Only about 20 of them were relatively stable, including a forgotten future super soldier, Isaiah Bradley.
Still, those 20 were only temporarily stable. Josh clearly rembered that in the end, only Isaiah survived out of that group.
The casualty rate was truly shocking.
'Let's hope you really beco Captain Carter', Josh thought to himself as he watched Carter get off the truck and silently prayed for her luck.
Soon, the ten volunteers were escorted into the lab by the base's experint personnel.
"There's still ti to stop this. The success rate of the experint is much lower than I thought, less than 10%," Josh whispered to Carter, who was now wearing only a military tank top and shorts.
"I've co this far; I'm not backing out now. Besides, I've always been lucky. Ten percent is better than I expected," Carter replied with a relaxed smile.
Seeing her determination, Josh nodded and said no more, turning to enter the nearby observation room.
The experint began shortly thereafter. As the serum was injected and the Vita rays were activated, loud screams of pain could be heard from the other nine chambers. Carter's chamber, however, was eerily silent.
So even suspected that she had either fainted or died.
"Sir?" one of the experinters asked Josh.
"Continue!" Josh replied expressionlessly.
What a joke—Carter, dying without making a sound? Ridiculous.
As expected, when the experint ended and the ten chambers opened, Peggy Carter was the first to step out, brimming with confidence. Her physique had grown taller and more muscular, and... well, her already impressive assets were now even more defined.
If Captain Arica was Arica's ass, then Carter might as well be Britain's boobs. (TL/N: OHHHHHHH)
Everyone in the room was stunned by her transformation.
At that mont, they all realized how right Josh's decision to give Carter an experintal slot had been.
Not one of the over 200 Army test subjects had co out as well as Peggy Carter.
Just by looking at her, it was clear that her condition was exceptional.
"Directorate Kahn... what do you think abou-?" An army officer observing the experint tried to be friendly with Josh.
"Don't even think about it. She's CIA," Josh said firmly, knowing what the officer was getting at.
"Sir, of the ten volunteers, five are dead, one requires ergency treatnt, and the remaining four are in relatively stable condition. Of those, Ms.Carter is in the best shape. This is the first ti I've seen anyone in such good shape after the experint," a researcher reported to Josh.
"Well, it seems my luck isn't bad—40% success rate!" Josh comnted, sowhat surprised. He had thought that as long as Carter survived, it would be a win, but unexpectedly he got three extra super soldiers as bonus.
Although the three super-soldiers were technically from the Council, they were now officially under the jurisdiction of the CIA. And since Josh himself was a high-ranking mber of the Council, he had the final authority to command them.
Oh, and he could also ask the Council for an additional $3 million budget—perfect.
Many Army officer exclaid upon hearing the experint results. The 40% success rate was four tis higher than their previous data.
But So officer imdiately blad the difference on race.
Josh just smiled without answering, ignoring the idiots as he walked over to Peggy Carter, who had changed back into her clothes.
"Forty percent success rate—I think you may have brought so good luck," Josh said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then maybe I should apply for a bonus," Carter joked lightly.
"Luck isn't sothing you can buy with money. How about I get you a new outfit instead? Look at them, they can't take their eyes off you!" Josh teased, gesturing to the n around them.
Hearing this, the male staff, who had been stealing glances at Carter's enhanced physique, instinctively turned away, though they silently cursed Josh for being a killjoy.
"Well, it looks like I do need one," Carter said with a laugh. Her current military uniform, which had fit before, was now completely undersized—especially the top, which she could barely pull over her shoulders.
"Co with ," Josh said, leading the way out of the lab.
Carter followed curiously.
Soon they arrived at another lab filled with huge amount of advanced individual equipnt.
The setup reminded Carter of Howard Stark's lab in the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
"This is just the equipnt lab for the CIA's technology division. I've already had them prepare sothing for you—I think you'll like it," Josh explained as they walked.
They reached a small display room. When Josh opened it, a transparent display case ca into view.
Inside the case was a uniform and shield similar to Captain Arica's, along with a sword and a strange backpack-like device.
