A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Because Fengqi City is a border city of Jingzhou, the garrison here is the most trusted and valiant general, Liu Mohan.

Moreover, it is said that this mighty general was once a martial arts champion in his youth. Because he came from humble background and did not have the support of a powerful family, he earned his glory entirely through his own superb martial arts skills!

Although he did not have any outstanding achievements on the frontier, he was particularly loyal to the emperor precisely because he was not from any powerful family!

He was the kind of person who belonged to the neutral faction. He was loyal to whoever was the emperor and only obeyed the emperor's orders. Therefore, the emperor trusted him very much and entrusted him with guarding such an important place as Jingzhou!

Upon arriving in Phoenix Perch City, Ye Wuhen and his companions immediately sought an inn to settle down.

What they didn't know was that a big surprise awaited them.

On the third day after they arrived, the group sat at the table discussing how to find Cheng Ying and the others in Phoenix City.

Shi Mobai said, "Boss Ye, we've been here for three days now. Where should we start looking for Sister Cheng and the others?"

Ye Wuhen pondered for a moment and said, "These past few days, it's just Ah Xuan and me investigating. Because this is a border city of Jingzhou, there are very few gangs here. There are some, but they are all small-time thugs and don't amount to much. We can't find any decent gangs to help us find people!"

“If we ask the authorities to help us find them, I’m afraid our identities will be exposed very quickly. So even though we’ve been here for three days, I’m still hesitant about what method to use!”

Ye Jinxuan also said, "The only method we can use right now is to hire people to draw the flyers, or we can write them down instead of drawing portraits, which will also take some time."

"But even though we had a lot of money when we came out, we've already spent quite a bit since then."

"Even if we bring a lot of money with us, it will eventually run out if we only spend it and not earn it. Besides, we don't know when we'll be able to find them again. There are still many places where we need to spend money, so we have to find ways to increase our income and reduce our expenditure!"

Shi Mobai was about to say that he had money, but after listening to Ye Jinxuan and Ye Wuhen, he realized that what they said made a lot of sense. Even if he had a lot of money, how long could he spend it?

Who knows when we'll be able to find Sister Cheng and the others?

Sigh! For a moment, the group looked at each other and fell silent.

Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Ye Wuhen asked, "At this time, we need to brainstorm and share our opinions to see what ways we can increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Ye Jinxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Does anyone know any secret recipes that are unknown in this era, such as how to make soap, lime powder, or how to turn coarse salt into fine salt, etc.?"

Chu Qiao suddenly suggested, "Then we can make glass that doesn't exist in this era. The kind they call 'liuli' is thicker. The kind of glass we make is a very ancient kind that can be installed in windows. I've read about it before."

Shi Mobai also said, "I know a simple way to make a lighter, and it would be even easier if we could make one from wood."

After several people raised their hands to express their opinions, it was finally decided to try making a lighter first.

Glass manufacturing is also on the shortlist; both of these methods, which allow for quick sales at high prices, are worth considering.

First, to make a lighter made of wood, you need either peach wood or sandalwood, as both of these woods are hard and are the best materials.

Moreover, wood offers a unique texture and appearance compared to metal or plastic casings, but wood is flammable and requires special treatment during manufacturing.

The wood can first be soaked in fireproof water to increase its fire resistance. Then, it can be shaped into a suitable form through carving, polishing and other processes. Of course, Ye Jinxuan can perfectly solve all these processes using his wood-type superpower.

After the shape is formed, apply waterproof paint or varnish to the surface. This will enhance the waterproofness and improve the appearance. It depends on whether such waterproof paint or varnish existed in ancient times.

Ye Jinxuan and Ye Wuhen were tasked with finding peach wood and sandalwood on the mountain.

Incidentally, they also searched for a substitute for flint in the soil of the mountain, which could be used to make alloy materials, since these artificial alloy materials can generally be extracted from the soil.

This requires Ye Jinxuan to use his wood-type and earth-type abilities together to search for it.

Another alternative to steel wheels is ceramic wheels. Of course, these ceramic wheels also need to be processed before they can be used.
