Chapter 6
Returning to his house, Yves began to massage his temples. Now the money left by his parents reduces to two thousand dollars.
Luckily, the house he's in right now isn't a rental, so he doesn't have to pay the rent.
The technological level of this era predominantly tends towards firearms and machinery. If we follow the original timeline, the computer was invented after World War II.
On the other hand, today, Europe has breathed the stench of war between Germany and the United States. Periodically, the Germans began to expand their influence on the surrounding lands.
As for the country that defeated them in the first world war, Great Britain began to retreat. The most important thing is that the locals don't want war!
Today France is also experiencing a significant setback and still has not recovered.
Under Hitler's leadership, the productivity of the entire German state rose remarkably. With his leadership, the country's economy was revived in just a few years.
After the first world war, many countries suppressed Germany to pay enormous war debts. This made it easy for Hitler to inspire the masses of nations to fight and regain the land.
The United States of America has smelled gunpowder on the country's border across the Atlantic Ocean!
'Since computers and other high technology still cannot be made, let's create something that fits the trends of this era.' Yves started to set up a plan. Taking out a blank piece of paper, he started drawing something.
The tip of the pen begins to draw a curve on white paper; on the other hand, there is data that has been written in several parts.
A sheet of white paper is placed on the other side; this white paper has a large cut pattern of sections that have been drawn on it. Several zig-zag lines are used to mark various parts.
If you're a big military fan, you'll be surprised to know that it's actually a picture of a famous AK-47!
If there's anything that can make the most money, it's definitely a weapon. No matter what period it was, the weapons industry always profited!
With the second world war close at hand, ammunition and weapons are a necessary commodity for every country participating in this war.
Wait. Indeed, one more thing is highly sought-after, namely military food!
Military soldiers consume the most in battle, and the food they need the most is a simple meal that can be stored for a very long period.
That is canned food, chocolate, etc. The food and weapons industries were clearly very profitable in this era.
It's just that a lot of requirements are needed here; the arms business needs connections, finance, and also technology. Whereas Yves doesn't have these three points, he clearly doesn't have connections with influential people; for money, is two thousand dollars enough? Of course not!
It's just that Yves has come up with the idea and design of an AK-47 weapon; if he can't be the boss himself, then he'll be a shareholder.
Don't forget, in this era; there is a new military industry in New York, the Stark Group!
Yves' parents seem to have connections and know Howard Stark. Relying on his parents' relationship, maybe Yves can use it!
Yves, who was addicted to work, didn't realize that time passed so fast. When he finished scribbling paper while sighing in satisfaction, suddenly the doorbell rang.
Staring at the clock hanging over the wall, the watch has shown at eight o'clock in the morning! Yves knows full well that he started working on the design and writing the data of the AK-47 gun at eight o'clock in the evening; he never thought he'd been working for hours!
When Yves opened the door, he saw a mature woman in a long white dress, showing the figure of a European American woman. The beautiful woman carried a suitcase by her side.
She was none other than Sarah that Yves met yesterday, the mother of Captain America herself!
"Hello, good morning, Mr. Yves! I'm here to do the job." Sarah's pretty appearance and smile instantly obliterated Yves' exhaustion.
Yves, who was a little out of control, immediately slapped himself, "Oh, aunt Sarah, come in; I didn't expect you to come this early."
Yves invited Sarah in while showing her the various rooms and the empty room she would occupy on the second floor.
"Aunt Sarah, this is your room; you will stay here from now on. By the way, this is your salary, two hundred dollars, and this one is for food. " Yves handed Sarah a few bucks.
Sarah said in surprise, "This is... Mr. Yves, you're giving too much money, no more than fifty dollars a month, so two hundred dollars is too much!" Sarah said in an honest tone. During the great depression, all prices fell and became very cheap.
"Haha, let aunt Sarah set it up; if there's any left, you can spend the rest for next month. I'll probably be swamped, so I'll depend on you from now on."
"Anyway, here are the house key and your room. Also, since you've been here, can you make me breakfast first? Ham sandwiches and a glass of milk are enough. "
After that, Yves went back to the room to grab some clothes. After exercising and working through the night, his body became sloppy and smelled terrible, which was very uncomfortable.
Sarah kept the money well; she never thought of corruption or any other slight advantage. She just wants to take good care of her little boss.
She quickly put the suitcase in the room, after which she went down to the first floor to make something in the kitchen.

A hot bath in the morning is very convenient, especially when this hot water is obtained from a simple solar power that he places on a tile.
The principle of solar water heaters is not that difficult; even Yves can make them himself. If it weren't for the absence of a factory that could mass-produce this product, maybe Yves would have sold this technology a long time ago.
After eating a delicious breakfast made by aunt Sarah, Yves came to the gun shop with a design to buy some spare parts. The AK-47 enhances the existing principle of a semi-automatic gun trooper; of course, this weapon can be made with various existing parts.
Weapons stores don't sell semi-automatic weapons; they only sell old pistols and shotguns. Although the two weapons have certain lethal powers, they are not too powerful for the U.S. Congress to worry about. The U.S. Congress doesn't allow weapons of mass destruction like semi-automatic weapons to be sold in private stores.
But accessories such as grips, buttstocks, etc., are present. Meanwhile, Magazine, Muzzle, and other essential parts are not available.
Yves left after buying the things he needed, and as for the parts he couldn't afford, he needed to go to a hardware store to ask for some adjustments.
Corresponding to the national economic depression, it makes sense that custom rifle barrels and weapon accessories are not allowed. But if you have money, of course, you can buy and make them. The advantage of this capitalism is that you can buy anything as long as you have enough money.
After placing an order at the hardware store, Yves will return to the store tomorrow to pick up his order items.
Yves returned home with the small parts he had bought and continued his experiment.
On the other hand, Sarah didn't ask about the little man's business. On this first day, she was busy working, cleaning the house, and going back and forth in every room. It was as if she had regarded this house as her own.
It turned out that the messy living room had been cleaned up by her. The cups and clothes have been washed. It seems that, with the presence of mature women in this house, the house atmosphere became utterly different!
***
The speed at which hardware stores are made is breakneck; the finished products that have been adjusted can be obtained the following day.
After returning home, Yves began assembling his AK-47 weapon consisting of a Buttstock, Muzzle, Rear Sight, etc.
The building process continues; even though it's the first time he touches stuff like this, somehow, Yves feels very familiar with the process. It's as if he was born with this kind of skill.
Yves prepared to go into the woods to test his weapons.
He didn't want to try it in his lab; in case maybe the bullet would bounce in his direction, better to keep an eye out. He doesn't want to die fast; the world is vast and full of magic and fun; that would be a no-brainer if he died before experiencing it.
