	After repelling the Chinese Assassins' attack, Yun was able to reproduce the formula for Greek fire inside his laboratory, which the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assasasin]] [[Edward Kenway]] recognized from the Brotherhood's records. He then suggested making a stop at [[Java]] to acquire ~~{{Wiki\|~~petroleum}}, which would allow them to produce larger quantities of the substance.<ref name="FT 50">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 50\|Episode 50]]</ref>		After repelling the Chinese Assassins' attack, Yun was able to reproduce the formula for Greek fire inside his laboratory, which the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assasasin]] [[Edward Kenway]] recognized from the Brotherhood's records.

	Fortunately for the Zhang Wei Union, the trip to Java became unnecessary after Yun stumbled upon a warehouse filled with barrels of petroleum during the crew's imprisonment in [[Manila]].

	The two inventors later used Greek fire to fuel one of their creations, the [[Celestial Chariot]], a prototype [[hot air balloon]]. However, the substance's highly flammable nature proved to be a drawback in this case, when the Greek fire spilled into the balloon mid-flight, causing it to catch fire and resulting in its destruction.<ref name="FT 60">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 60\|Episode 60]]</ref> Later, Yun built a second Celestial Chariot which had its burner installed above the balloon's basket to prevent a similar accident from occuring again.<ref name="FT 68">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 68\|Episode 68]]</ref>		The two inventors later used Greek fire to fuel one of their creations, the [[Celestial Chariot]], a prototype [[hot air balloon]].

	While in [[Cebu]], Yun found another application for the substance and invented Greek fire bombs, which upon being fired from a [[cannon]], created thick flames on the water's surface, preventing ships from passing through.<ref name="FT 72">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 72\|Episode 72]]</ref> The ''Fenghuang''{{'}}s crew used these bombs to repel an attack by Admiral [[~~Jeong~~]]'s fleet, allowing them to sail to safety and escape Cebu.<ref name="FT 73">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 73\|Episode 73]]</ref>		While in [[Cebu]], Yun found another application for the substance and invented Greek fire bombs, which upon being fired from a [[cannon]], created thick flames on the water's surface, preventing ships from passing through.<ref name="FT 72">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 72\|Episode 72]]</ref> The ''Fenghuang''{{'}}s crew used these bombs to repel an attack by Admiral [[Zheng]]'s fleet, allowing them to sail to safety and escape Cebu.<ref name="FT 73">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 73\|Episode 73]]</ref>

	Later, Yun invented Greek fire flamethrowers, which the Zhang Wei Union made use of during a battle against the [[Rattan Shield Company]] and [[Shimazu clan]] [[ninja]];<ref name="FT 84">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 84\|Episode 84]]</ref> trapping the ninja by creating a wall of fire around them and allowing the Union members to eliminate them.<ref name="FT 85">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 85\|Episode 85]]</ref>		Later, Yun invented Greek fire flamethrowers, which the Zhang Wei Union made use of during a battle against the [[Rattan Shield Company]] and [[Shimazu clan]] [[ninja]];<ref name="FT 84">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 84\|Episode 84]]</ref> trapping the ninja by creating a wall of fire around them and allowing the Union members to eliminate them.<ref name="FT 85">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 85\|Episode 85]]</ref>

	Greek fire flamethrowers were also installed on Yun's [[turtle ship]]s, which saw action during the Zhang Wei Union's battle against Admiral ~~Jeong~~'s fleet off the coast of {{Wiki\|Indochina}}. Thanks to the vessels' [[armor]] plating, which made them near-invulnerable to cannon fire, the turtle ships were easily able to breach ~~Jeong~~'s blockade and then put their flamethrowers to devastating use, setting most of the enemy fleet alight.<ref name="FT 117">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 117\|Episode 117]]</ref>		Greek fire flamethrowers were also installed on Yun's [[turtle ship]]s, which saw action during the Zhang Wei Union's battle against Admiral Zheng's fleet off the coast of {{Wiki\|Indochina}}.
