Years turn into wind

After the battle, the military camp was filled with a quiet atmosphere of rest. After this battle, Cheng Yuwei gained some trust from the soldiers. The soldiers were no longer as hostile to her as before, and some even began to talk to her.

But Cheng Yuwei knew her position was still precarious. Although she had helped Ling Xiaotian with her knowledge of chemistry, she was still an "outsider," an alien in this era. She had to do more to truly gain a firm foothold.

A few days later, Ling Xiaotian found Cheng Yuwei again. This time, his attitude had changed significantly. He was no longer as cold and defensive as before, but more serious.

"Do you have a stronger formula for the explosives you improved before?" Ling Xiaotian asked straight to the point.

Cheng Yuwei pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, but I need better materials and equipment. Also, you have to give me time."

Ling Xiaotian pondered for a moment before finally making a decision: "I can provide you with everything you need, but you must ensure that the explosives this time can help us win the next battle."

Cheng Yuwei looked up at him with a firm gaze: "I will do it."

From that day on, Cheng Yuwei was assigned to a dedicated laboratory in the military camp and began her new mission. Every day, soldiers brought her various materials, and she devoted all her energy to the research of improving explosives.

She was no longer just a stranger who had been mistakenly captured; she had gradually become a member of the military. Ling Xiaotian also began to visit the lab more frequently to check on her progress. Every time he saw her, his expression was filled with curiosity and deep thought.

Just as Cheng Yuwei's research nears completion, Ling Xiaotian receives an urgent report: his rival, a powerful warlord, is preparing a surprise attack. Time is running out, and Ling Xiaotian realizes they only have one chance to strike back or face irreparable defeat.

Ling Xiaotian found Cheng Yuwei and asked her to immediately come up with the improved formula of explosives and produce enough explosives for the army to use in a very short time.

"The time is too short. I need more time to ensure its stability!" Cheng Yuwei explained anxiously.

"We don't have time." Ling Xiaotian's voice was cold and resolute. "If we fail this time, neither you nor I will survive."

Cheng Yuwei gritted her teeth, knowing there was no turning back. She rushed to complete her research, and under immense pressure, she began mass-producing the improved explosives. Every second was crucial; the slightest mistake could mean the explosives wouldn't work and could even destroy the entire barracks.

Time passed, Cheng Yuwei persevered in the tension, and finally completed all preparations just before the enemy attacked. Ling Xiaotian personally led the soldiers equipped with her new explosives to fight the enemy.

The battle resumed, but this time, Cheng Yuwei's explosives proved incredibly effective. The enemy forces were routed by the violent explosion, and the situation briefly descended into chaos. Ling Xiaotian's team quickly gained the upper hand, successfully counterattacking.

The victory in this battle not only solidified Ling Xiaotian's position, but also boosted Cheng Yuwei's prestige within the army. Everyone knew that this foreign woman had changed the course of the battle with her wisdom.
