1. Whoa! You can
see super far away!Copy !req
2. The sun's coming up
really soon, you guys!Copy !req
3. Careful not to look at it
through the telescope.Copy !req
4. If those are the
right type of stones,Copy !req
5. they should start to glow.Copy !req
6. Oh, wow. It looks like
a mountain of jewels.Copy !req
7. Yeah, of course it does.Copy !req
8. Because it is a
mountain of jewels.Copy !req
9. And this treasure hoard hereCopy !req
10. has our ultra-rare
metal inside it!Copy !req
11. Ha. Call 'em whatever you want—Copy !req
12. they're just kinda
heavy rocks to me.Copy !req
13. I hope they're worth the fuss.Copy !req
14. They'll definitely be worth it
when they help us beat Tsukasa.Copy !req
15. These'll help us win the battle?Copy !req
16. I get it.Copy !req
17. They're weapons!Copy !req
18. They've got enough weight to 'em
to really hurt somebody!Copy !req
19. Sorry, Father. I don't
think that's what they—Copy !req
20. Cut him some slack.Copy !req
21. The older generation doesn't
understand some things.Copy !req
22. Huh?Copy !req
23. Look, we're up against
Tsukasa's army,Copy !req
24. which is gonna be
crazy ong-stray.Copy !req
25. But if we stick to the planCopy !req
26. and make cell phones
with these rocks,Copy !req
27. we'll have a massive advantage
in the information war.Copy !req
28. Yeah, I know,
but how much longerCopy !req
29. is it going to take to
make these cell phones?Copy !req
30. That's a good question,
'cause once spring comes,Copy !req
31. their army's gonna
storm the village!Copy !req
32. Ehh. We're not far
from our goal.Copy !req
33. To explain things simply,Copy !req
34. the vacuum tube's the heart
of the cell phone,Copy !req
35. plastic's the skeleton, the
microphone's the vocal cord,Copy !req
36. and the gold wire's the veins.Copy !req
37. All we gotta do is put
those four parts togetherCopy !req
38. and we'll have ourselves
a cell phone.Copy !req
39. It's been a marathon
of a science project,Copy !req
40. but we're getting close
to the finish line.Copy !req
41. Ha! Now it's time for us to make
our final sprint to the end!Copy !req
42. The first thing we gotta
do is make filaments,ICopy !req
43. which are essential
for vacuum tubes.Copy !req
44. And they'll be made
outta tungsten.Copy !req
45. The most heat-resistant metal
in the known universeCopy !req
46. waiting inside this blue light.Copy !req
47. Here's another question:Copy !req
48. How exactly are we gonna
get it out of the stone?Copy !req
49. Yeah, well, that is gonna
be pretty tough to pull off.Copy !req
50. What the hell are you
doing? Are you crazy?Copy !req
51. Huh? We're gettin' the stuff
outta these rocks, man.Copy !req
52. If we smash 'em up first,
it'll be easy.Copy !req
53. That totally works for me.Copy !req
54. We'll be turning it
into powder, anyway.Copy !req
55. You guys hear that?
What'd I tell ya?Copy !req
56. Uh! But you didn't know that!Copy !req
57. If you were wrong,Copy !req
58. you'd have to go through
all that trouble again!Copy !req
59. Well, this is strange.Copy !req
60. This isn't like him at all.Copy !req
61. I've never actually seen
him offer to help before.Copy !req
62. Did something happen
down in that cave?Copy !req
63. With me here, you get to seeCopy !req
64. all the ridiculously
awesome stuffCopy !req
65. that humanity worked together
for two million years to build.Copy !req
66. And I'll show you enough
to make your head spin.Copy !req
67. Senku!Copy !req
68. I don't care if you're
in charge anymore.Copy !req
69. At least, not until we deal
with that Tsukasa guy.Copy !req
70. Huh. Wonder what it was.Copy !req
71. I'll use my chemistry skills
on this powdered rock.Copy !req
72. And when I'm finished with it,Copy !req
73. it should have a similar
consistency to toothpaste.Copy !req
74. Oh, right, more fun
chemistry stuff.Copy !req
75. Never does me any good to
ask questions about it.Copy !req
76. Then, we're gonna treat
the toothpaste with hydrogenCopy !req
77. by warming it up in
a glass containerCopy !req
78. to get rid of any rust.Copy !req
79. And we're done.Copy !req
80. It has to reach a
thousand degrees,Copy !req
81. but the hotter we make it,Copy !req
82. the stronger the
tungsten'll turn out.Copy !req
83. Ho-ho! We can just throw it
in our trusty furnace here!Copy !req
84. It's nice to get an easy
step once in a while.Copy !req
85. Have you two lost your minds?Copy !req
86. Think what would happen
to a glass containerCopy !req
87. if you threw it into a
thousand-degree fire.Copy !req
88. We have to make sure that
only the tungsten mixtureCopy !req
89. inside of the glass
container is getting hot.Copy !req
90. So then we'll need to pinpoint
the heat on one spot.Copy !req
91. But how exactly?Copy !req
92. Let's split up the work—
time is short.Copy !req
93. I can handle all of
the toothpaste-makingCopy !req
94. chemistry stuff.Copy !req
95. Wait, then who's
gonna figure outCopy !req
96. the pinpoint heating mechanism?Copy !req
97. We don't have another scientist!Copy !req
98. Come on.Copy !req
99. You know everything you
need to make that happen.Copy !req
100. You've gotta throw all
the science tricksCopy !req
101. you've learned at it.Copy !req
102. Heh.Copy !req
103. Or do you need Professor Senku
to come and hold your hand?Copy !req
104. Are you kidding with that?
Don't make me laugh.Copy !req
105. I'm Chrome, you know!Copy !req
106. And I'm smarter than hell!
I'm a scientist!Copy !req
107. If you need some
help in your lab,Copy !req
108. you'd better not come crying
about it to me, okay?Copy !req
109. I got all the
lab stuff, no problem.Copy !req
110. You're gonna have your hands
full leading the heating team.Copy !req
111. You guys make me
a little jealous.Copy !req
112. Since I was a boy, I've
always loved making things.Copy !req
113. It was such a fun way
to spend my time.Copy !req
114. I made all kinds of stuff,
like shields and bridges,Copy !req
115. while other people just
stood back and stared.Copy !req
116. Even in my old age,Copy !req
117. I still get looked
at as a laborer.Copy !req
118. Seeing you two working
together like thisCopy !req
119. has got me thinking
about how muchCopy !req
120. I'd like to have a crafting
buddy of my own.Copy !req
121. Hm?Copy !req
122. But you're not building things
on your own anymore, are you?Copy !req
123. You've got crafting buddies.Copy !req
124. Hold on, I do? Who's that?Copy !req
125. Us two.Copy !req
126. Really?Copy !req
127. Even though I'm almost 50
years older than you?Copy !req
128. Of course. Why should age
matter at all? Who cares?Copy !req
129. What the hell?Copy !req
130. I've gotta say,
he certainly is gung-ho.Copy !req
131. All right, modern man,
you're comin' with me.Copy !req
132. I'll bet you know a little more
chemistry than the villagers.Copy !req
133. I'm not so sure.Copy !req
134. There are a stupid
number of steps,Copy !req
135. so this could get
pretty complicated,Copy !req
136. but I'll try to keep it simple.Copy !req
137. Cook the powder in
sodium hydroxide,Copy !req
138. add seashells,
hydrochloric acid,Copy !req
139. and ammonia to crystallize it,
then bake it and mix with honey.Copy !req
140. Yeah, okay, and I am reading you
loud and clear Professor Senku!Copy !req
141. I'm using honey! Bake it
and add some honey.Copy !req
142. That's about the gist
of it, that right?Copy !req
143. Chrome would
be ten billion timesCopy !req
144. more helpful right now.Copy !req
145. No, I doubt anyone
could've kept up with all that.Copy !req
146. You're the only person
who understandsCopy !req
147. this kind of stuff you know.Copy !req
148. Look!Copy !req
149. This has gotta be the perfect
tool for precision heating!Copy !req
150. Ha! Chrome is pulling out
his special move again!Copy !req
151. Quit showin' off.Copy !req
152. That thing brings
back bad memories.Copy !req
153. I'm not exactly
sure how much heatCopy !req
154. that lens is going to produce.Copy !req
155. To test out the temperature,Copy !req
156. I've set up these metals
by heat resistance.Copy !req
157. It doesn't seem to be
doing anything to the lead,Copy !req
158. and that's the
weakest one, right?Copy !req
159. Maybe because it's winter.Copy !req
160. It might work if we had
a little more sunlight.Copy !req
161. You've gotta throw all
the science tricksCopy !req
162. you've learned at it.Copy !req
163. Our pinpoint heater needs fire.
And the cotton candy machine.Copy !req
164. Let's throw that in, too!Copy !req
165. Aw, man!Copy !req
166. We're gonna need more
than just me and Suika.Copy !req
167. But at least the lead's
startin' to melt down!Copy !req
168. Awesome! There goes the
gold and silver, too!Copy !req
169. Yeah! Way to go, battle team!Copy !req
170. Iron is down!Copy !req
171. Yeah! Gorilla team!Copy !req
172. We made it past a
thousand degrees!Copy !req
173. It has to reach a
thousand degrees,Copy !req
174. but the hotter we make it,Copy !req
175. the stronger the
tungsten'll turn out.Copy !req
176. We need more heat.Copy !req
177. Let's throw in electricity!Copy !req
178. All right. It's finally done.Copy !req
179. Tungsten toothpaste acquired!Copy !req
180. So, heating team,
how's it goin'?Copy !req
181. Great. We're just
about done here.Copy !req
182. Huh? Not too shabby,
ya science user.Copy !req
183. What's with the jumbo
deluxe combo set?Copy !req
184. Come on, Senku. I'm doing
exactly what you told me.Copy !req
185. Using every trick I've learned.Copy !req
186. I didn't mean to go this far.
The thing's ugly as hell.Copy !req
187. But to be honest,Copy !req
188. this might actually be
the best solution.Copy !req
189. So now, everybody's gonna
need to work togetherCopy !req
190. to get this temperature
crazy high.Copy !req
191. We're gonna squeeze out
a long, thin blobCopy !req
192. of tungsten toothpaste.Copy !req
193. Zapping water with electricity
produces hydrogen.Copy !req
194. The hydrogen, with tons of heat,Copy !req
195. will peel the rust
right off that stuff.Copy !req
196. Here we go.
Few thousand degrees.Copy !req
197. Let's heat this thing up!Copy !req
198. We've tamed the world's
most heat-resistant metal.Copy !req
199. Which means now we have our
hands on tungsten filament!Copy !req
200. With this, we have
everything that we need.Copy !req
201. Aw, yeah! We're so close to
the finish I can taste it!Copy !req
202. We might as well go in order!Copy !req
203. I think we should start with
the cell phone's heartCopy !req
204. and finish makin'
the darn vacuum tube.Copy !req
205. But to get that part done,Copy !req
206. it's gonna take some pretty
complicated glasswork.Copy !req
207. I'm not entirely sure that
you're up to it, old man.Copy !req
208. Oh, please.
Give me some credit.Copy !req
209. I did make this ridiculously
challenging twisty doohickeyCopy !req
210. for ya earlier, didn't I?Copy !req
211. So nothin' scares me now!Copy !req
212. Well? Let me see
what you've got.Copy !req
213. This device is known
as a Hickman pump.Copy !req
214. It sucks air like you
wouldn't believe.Copy !req
215. This baby is a level
ten billion vacuum!Copy !req
216. You kinda sound
like you're doingCopy !req
217. a vacuum cleaner commercial.Copy !req
218. Vacuum tubes are createdCopy !req
219. by removing as much air
inside as possible.Copy !req
220. The pump we built before was
more like a level one prototype,Copy !req
221. which worked for light bulbs.Copy !req
222. But it won't give us enough
power for this job.Copy !req
223. I don't know where to begin.
Is this even humanly possible?Copy !req
224. In Senku's and my age,
people could build them,Copy !req
225. but it was only the insanely
talented super craftsmen guys.Copy !req
226. I know you're good, Kaseki,Copy !req
227. but this is a different
era altogether,Copy !req
228. so you shouldn't feel
too bad about it.Copy !req
229. It'll never ork-way.Copy !req
230. Is that true?Copy !req
231. Well, yeah.Copy !req
232. But why the hell
would a mentalistCopy !req
233. know the first thing about it?Copy !req
234. He's probably just
talking out of his assCopy !req
235. to get the old geezer fired up.Copy !req
236. It's fine. I don't
need you to inspire me.Copy !req
237. It's the complicated stuff
that gets me fired up, anyway.Copy !req
238. But in exchange... A favor.Copy !req
239. That thing you did with Chrome,Copy !req
240. I really want you to
do it with me, too.Copy !req
241. You know. Seeing as the
two of us are buddies.Copy !req
242. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
243. You'll bang out this
vacuum tube, buddy,Copy !req
244. there's no doubt about it.Copy !req
245. Damn right! Watch me!Copy !req
246. Ah! Hey, check it out, Senku.Copy !req
247. I'm sure I'm the only
one who noticed,Copy !req
248. but even though Old Man Kaseki's
acting like a little kidCopy !req
249. begging for that high five,
he's really more concernedCopy !req
250. with helping you out
with the big workloadCopy !req
251. you've got ahead of you.Copy !req
252. Yeah, any idiot could see that.Copy !req
253. Hey, Senku?Copy !req
254. So, is there something
we kids could do?Copy !req
255. Yeah, there is, actually.
You guys can handle the wire.Copy !req
256. Yay!Copy !req
257. This means we're in!Copy !req
258. We're all members of the
Kingdom of Science, too.Copy !req
259. Us kids are going to make
the wire ourselves.Copy !req
260. And we'll do it without
any help from Senku!Copy !req
261. Yeah!Copy !req
262. All right. Are you ready,
chemistry team?Copy !req
263. Because it's time for us
to make some plastic.Copy !req
264. Yep!Copy !req
265. I have no clue what that is
exactly, but I'm ready to learn!Copy !req
266. Honestly, this is the
step on the road mapCopy !req
267. I was the most worried about.Copy !req
268. Is it even possible to make
plastic in the Stone World?Copy !req
269. I'm just saying, isn't it
made outta petroleum? Uh.Copy !req
270. Get over here,
Gen. You're with me.Copy !req
271. You got me so fired up earlierCopy !req
272. I've got no choice but
to work you to death!Copy !req
273. Not air-fay!Copy !req
274. Uhh...Copy !req
275. Who woulda thunk it?Copy !req
276. The old guy's got a
soft spot for Gen.Copy !req
277. For some reason.Copy !req
278. I figured out
how to make our plastic.Copy !req
279. First, we wanna simmer some woodCopy !req
280. and boil the liquid
that comes out.Copy !req
281. Pour that over some hot
copper, and then—Copy !req
282. Hold on a second, Senku!
I'm already completely lost!Copy !req
283. You heat it to extract some
liquid, heat that again,Copy !req
284. and then heat that again?Copy !req
285. What are we even doing?Copy !req
286. We're modding the hell
out of it by addingCopy !req
287. and removing crucial
ingredients.Copy !req
288. Chemistry's all about
adding and subtracting.Copy !req
289. And after that process,Copy !req
290. we're left with this
stuff called formalin.Copy !req
291. You can preserve
corpses with it.Copy !req
292. That stinks!Copy !req
293. And what's the deal with you
pulling out these creepyCopy !req
294. dead people chemicals
all the time?Copy !req
295. Okay.Copy !req
296. So now the only thing we need to
acquire is a ton of coal ash.Copy !req
297. Because sodium hydroxideCopy !req
298. plus formalin plus coal
ash makes bakelite,Copy !req
299. which is the very first
man-made plastic.Copy !req
300. It's perfect for this.Copy !req
301. Oh, okay.Copy !req
302. So I guess we're
gonna need to burnCopy !req
303. a crazy amount of
coal, aren't we?Copy !req
304. My hands are numb.Copy !req
305. We're not gonna get much
work done like this.Copy !req
306. This winter does seem like
an especially harsh one.Copy !req
307. I'm worried some poor soulCopy !req
308. is going to die from
the cold this year.Copy !req
309. We need coal?Copy !req
310. Yeah, like a
ridiculous amount of it.Copy !req
311. It seems like just
the job for you guys.Copy !req
312. Hold on, Ginro.
Where you going?Copy !req
313. Oh, you know me! Off to train.Copy !req
314. And I have to guard the village,Copy !req
315. so I don't really have the
time to take this on, too.Copy !req
316. I'll have to pass. Shucks.Copy !req
317. The rules are the rules.Copy !req
318. And the village chief's
orders are absolute.Copy !req
319. Let me go, please!
This is gonna be so hard!Copy !req
320. I said, "Rules are rules"!Copy !req
321. This thing makes the house
super warm and toasty!Copy !req
322. We should make a nice
hot meal for everybody to eat.Copy !req
323. Mh-hm!Copy !req
324. We have the time, since
the work's going faster.Copy !req
325. Now then, the only
thing that we really needCopy !req
326. are the ashes from the coal.Copy !req
327. But you're more than welcome
to sit by the fire.Copy !req
328. I'm impressed, Senku.Copy !req
329. Huh?Copy !req
330. I realize that the
things you're makingCopy !req
331. are for a completely
separate goal,Copy !req
332. but our little village
is slowly becomingCopy !req
333. a much better place to live.Copy !req
334. It's true. That's
how science works.Copy !req
335. It's just as simple as that.Copy !req
336. I must say,Copy !req
337. you ended up being just
the man we neededCopy !req
338. to lead our village
into the future.Copy !req
339. Hold on. Zinc-carbon batteries?Copy !req
340. Are we gonna use batteries
to finish the vacuum tubes?Copy !req
341. The instructions and materials
are all listed there.Copy !req
342. We'll use the manganese
from the caves.Copy !req
343. Uh...Copy !req
344. So you want me to
make them, do you?Copy !req
345. We'll need 800, at the least.Copy !req
346. Huh? Are you crazy?Copy !req
347. Utal-bray.Copy !req
348. I can lend a hand! No problem!Copy !req
349. Here's the wine
that you asked for.Copy !req
350. You throwin' a party, or what?Copy !req
351. Nuh-uh. Makin' some microphones.
They're the vocal cord.Copy !req
352. Huh? Out of wine?Copy !req
353. Yeah.Copy !req
354. More precisely... we'll be
using these pink crystalsCopy !req
355. that are stuck all
over the lid here.Copy !req
356. Then we'll cook some
of this seaweed,Copy !req
357. mix it into hot water, and done.Copy !req
358. Huh? Which part of this stuffCopy !req
359. is the gonna be the
"microphone" thingy?Copy !req
360. Dunno, and what are all those
shiny rocks in there?Copy !req
361. They're Rochelle saltsCopy !req
362. and they turn sound
into electricity.Copy !req
363. You can tack one of these
onto something lightweight,Copy !req
364. like a plastic megaphone
for example,Copy !req
365. and you've got yourself
a microphone.Copy !req
366. The plastic hurdle's cleared!Copy !req
367. The wire hurdle's cleared!Copy !req
368. Vacuum tube hurdle's cleared!Copy !req
369. Microphone's cleared!Copy !req
370. The most powerful
weapon of modern warfareCopy !req
371. is one that shoots voices
over infinite distances.Copy !req
372. It's the birth of
the cell phone.Copy !req
373. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
374. Whoa!Copy !req
375. Yay!Copy !req
376. So bad!Copy !req
377. And we were able to pull this
thing off before spring came.Copy !req
378. The final battle
is coming soon.Copy !req
379. We're up against Tsukasa,Copy !req
380. so get ready, everyone.Copy !req
381. And of course, get excited.Copy !req
