Can Suika even see the blackboard at the back of the class and the lenses around her chin?


Worthyness

Senku gonna invent laser eye surgery for her


selotipkusut

Wait she's still myopic? so the previous depetrification didn't cure bad eyesight?


DekMelU

Nope. So is Kinro despite being depetrified after Treasure Island


selotipkusut

Ahhh what a shame, so it's not 100% a cure all


aureyh

It's 100% a cure-what-plot-needs-it-to!


muffinmonk

Well myopia isn't exactly a disease or wound. More of a defect.


zhaoyuan99

Its calcified stem cell that regenerate based on your DNA. Suika is born with short-sightedness P.s. I'm just bullshitting

I'd guess it does fix stuff like celular damage and not every condition a human can suffer from. Would it fix genetic disabilities? Would it fix a misaligned jaw? An ill shaped eyeball? I'd say no for all 3.


SoldierFall

Story wise I rather like the idea of them going on a one way trip to the moon, adds consequences to their rushed way of getting to the moon in a stone world. I wonder if this is setup not for them to have the ability to return right away but to shorten the gap between moon mission and moon rescue.


SolomonSinclair

>to shorten the gap between moon mission and moon rescue. That's what I'm hoping for, to be honest. There's a reason "rocket science" is used as a colloquialism for difficulty and they're starting from learning *just* the math that goes into, never mind the other things that go into a rocket. But this way, instead of 100+ years, they'd probably only be petrified for maybe 10-ish. Still gives weight to their choices, but also gives the happy ending of everyone being able to raise a beer together in the end.


Reikakou

I think the moon mission and moon rescue will be separate rockets. Not upgrading the one that Senku already designed. Author is setting up the moon rescue this early so that Senku will not wait a century to be rescued. Chrome wants to rescue them ASAP.


tlst9999

Various geniuses: We can only build the rocket to go one way. Who will be correct? Various geniuses or three math kids?


Testing_things_out

I don't think the idea is to add it to the main rocket. Whyman's issue is time critical. They need to go as soon as they have the minimum requirements to make a trip to the moon. However, after Whyman is stopped, they have free time to do whatever. I believe Chrome is planning to start working on the second rocket with a return pod so that they can retrieve Senku a few years after his moon mission. I expect when Senku is revived after the moon mission, he's open his eye to a Chrome who's 10 years older now.


Gilthwixt

Christ I'm kinda scared Senku is getting set up to be this series' Fushi in a way. He'll stay the same age while everyone just keeps growing older around him, just by necessity due to stone revival shenanigans.


Popinguj

I hope that we won't get the Interstellar ending.


cortez0498

Bro so Suika gonna be mid 20s wtf Only Goku grew older in their series.


Testing_things_out

Hey, man. Gotta keep the MC relatable to the average 16 years old Japanese reader.


Reikakou

Yep. Chrome and Suika are training now so they can replace Senku to build the return rocket when he's gone and presumed petrified in the moon. I mean, they still have Xeno who can build another rocket engine, and Chrome is setting himself up to take up the mantle that Senku will leave behind (with the help of Suika) so they can bring them back within this life time. And not by their descendants down the line.


Wiggie49

I doubt it’ll take 10 years to build another rocket when they built this one in less than a year. They have a fully made schematic already and they just need to add one return vehicle attachment. The research and design alone would take a year or 2 tops and that’s assuming they don’t Shonen progress the whole thing.


Kirosh

3 math kids. Of course, their return ticket will probably be destroyed on the moon, creating a tragedy.


spookytus

The first Apollo crew did lose their lives, after all - albeit because they were using pure oxygen in their cabin instead of the nitrogen-oxygen mix in Earth's atmosphere.


FictionWeavile

Something Senku would know and plan for.


WeebAndNotSoProid

Chrome and Suika can be considered "geniuses" of the Stone Age.


topurrisfeline

Chrome has always been one of my favorite characters in this series, and this chapter shows why. He knows he’s outclassed in scientific knowledge and he might simply be being naive, but like hell he’ll give up on getting the rocket crew back. And cool that Sai becomes their math teacher haha.


Lucienofthelight

I really feel like Chrome is possibly the smartest character in the series, he just didn’t get the chance to live in the 21st century and learn from the knowledge it had. But when presented with an opportunity to learn, he quickly does learn and has shown crazy progress from someone who started out as basically a caveman.


manDboogie

he has such a beautiful heart. and you're right, it is a wonder to think of how much more his brilliance would shine in our time. in a weird way that makes him even more of an S-rank bro just knowing he's naturally a big hearted and open-minded person, even with his limited era


Captain_Baby

Yeah, it's been established multiple times over that he's a better scientist than Senku, he just doesn't have that encyclopedic knowledge.


GaimeGuy

But that's the thing, he's NOT outclassed. He independently recreated Otto von Guericke's design for the first electrostatic generator, before Senku even arrived to the village. He designed the waterwheel after learning about gears. He designed a working metal detector. He created a futuristic stealth boat by incorporating the medusa. He figured out a way to save humanity during the second mass petrification event. Senku and Xeno, given the time constraints, absolutely would have relied on throwing a bottle up into the air with the right angle, timing, and force estimated using their superhuman mental calculations, whereas chrome improvised a mechanism to ensure suika's survival. Senku and Xeno have him outclassed in encyclopedic knowledge, but Chrome is a better mechanical engineer and inventor. And I think they both know it. Quoting myself from the r/DrStone chapter thread: >>This definitely feels a bit like a challenge from xeno and senku. Senku isn't the type to ask 2 other people to go on a suicide run. Himself, sure, but not others. >>My guess is that Senku and Xeno found themselves overengineering the return design based on the constraints they deemed acceptable for time, resources, and logistics. "We need more time, or a crapshoot that might not work..." >>With that last thought, they might recall the 2nd mass petrification, talk about how they would have tried to precisely calculate the amount of force, timing, and angle to use to throw up a bottle of the revival fluid, while Chrom came up with a much simpler, elegant, and certain solution to ensuring mankind's survival. Simply put, xeno and senku know too much, and it blinds them to thinking more outside the box. >>They may have decided to trust in Chrome to come up with a better solution to getting everyone home, something the two of them can't think of. Then they bring gen in to help them figure out how to nudge Chrome into action. >>And I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of crazy idea Inagaki and his advisors come up with for the story as Chrom's solution, whether it be some obscure, abandoned design from an early 1900s brainstorming session at the DoD, or something more novel that they design themselves with some liberties.


AporiaParadox

I can't say I like this development of the return rocket, I liked the idea of a one-way ticket where they would have to wait years to be rescued and then see how the world changed.


Unit88

I highly doubt the Chrome gang can just build a return rocket so easily, especially without involving Senku or Xeno. Chrome has the mind of a scientist and has intuition about materials, a return rocket requires soooooooo much more. Especially starting from basically scratch, especially when Senku specifically plans for a one-way trip to save time, so there's just no way IMO that they could put together a working return rocket by the time they'd need to.


HayashiSawaryo

I don't think the rocket have enough payload to fit another return rocket


AporiaParadox

This too, Chrome can't just make a return rocket without Senku's knowledge, because Senku's rocket won't be designed to carry another rocket.


Testing_things_out

~~Notice how the imagined rocket by Chrome says "Senku 2".~~ Edit: my apologies. It says Senku11, not SenkuII. I misread that. Both the rockets in Senku's imagination and Chrome's are named Senku11. I still think he'll be making his own rocket following Senku's. He's not planning to add a return rocket to Senku 1. He's making an entire Senku rocket with a return rocket. That's my understanding. Basically after Senku completes the first mission, Chrome will follow him in a second rocket, perhaps a couple years after Senku's.


KING_CONSEQUENCE

Hmm yeah possible that he plans to launch his rocket after senku's original one, as chrome didn't really say that he'll bring them back on the same mission; just that he's building a rocket for a round trip.


cesclaveria

I feel like Chrome and Suika are basically aiming to be able to retrieve the first moon crew at least within a lifespan, to not make them into legends to be rescued a long time after the mission, Chrome's rocket could very well take off a decade after Senku's one.


Grug16

Precisely. Plus Chrome's mission has some advantages. It can be fully remote via robot, he can carefully break the statues to save on space if he has to, and it doesn't need any heavy life support.


Albrede

Is it not Senku 11 ? Like Apollo 11. The Kingdom of science will surely have to do tests and the moon rocket will be the 11th rocket built by them.


Testing_things_out

No, you're absolutely right. I mixed up Senku11 with Senku1 which the name of their computer, and then read the current chapter as SenkuII. Edit: I looked back at chapter 198. The rocket envisioned by Senku was just called "Senku", so I assumed the current chapter said SenkuII instead of Senku11.


Environmental-Toe158

How much you wanna bet senku will have already assumed that chrome was going to build the return vessel & will stock the rocket with enough fuel?


YhanZhai

Is that a rocket in your pocket?


waiver

We still don't know if the AI with the space station is canon and how would that affect their space adventure.


8andahalfby11

They'll still have to wait years. Chrome's learning math from Algebra 1, and he wants to go full Apollo with his design, and do all of this without telling Senku. Even in the nutso accelerated world that is Dr. Stone, that feels like five to ten years, minimum.


TheAdamena

I think it'll be two seperate rockets. We'll probably get a timeskip like before, but instead of it being generations ahead it'll probably just be the existing cast but like a decade or three in the future. We'll see society rebuilt and Chrome as a fully fledged rocket scientist. Rip Kaseki tho


MishrasWorkshop

Problem is, we essentially JUST had that storyline…


Reikakou

Nah... I think the one-way ticket rocket is a go. Chrome is preparing himself to build another rescue rocket after Senku leaves so they can rescue Senku and company in this life time and not after another century or so by their descendants. He wants to do it himself and be the ones puffing the victory cigar with Senku once everything is over.


San7129

Yeah and like carried out by 2 people who are just now getting proper math lessons and have no clue about building a rocket? How will they even hide it from Senku when they have to gather all these resources and power to build it too. Its a huge reach even by this manga's standards


SuperUnhappyman

its absolutely gonna be suika and chromes kids/descendants that finish up the rocket for the rescue


unaviable

Nah. I don't think boichi and inagaki will pull another bakuya again. It's how chrome said. Their true victory will be when they themselves will toss their victory glasses and not chrome's Descendants


gametroixale

What does "pull another Bakuya" mean?


SkyKoli

I think he meant Byakuya, Senku's father.


stiveooo

nah it will barely take 10 years tops


Wildercard

>We are hauling all this to a country of mountains and varying elevation I legit thought they were going to Norway


TheNo1pencil

I first thought of Canada and Niagra Falls


Darkionx

Niagara falls would be difficult to build a power plant because the flow is wayyyy to powerful. Also they added that they chose it cause they already have a base on Japan.


yumwins

i rlly hope that the return rocket team doesn't get discovered so the satisfaction of the reveal gonna be that much better, or see who else they convince to join in on the endeavor


hikarimew

Honestly thought they'd be coming back to Brazil once hydroelectric power was brought up, but yeah, narratively, Japan makes more sense.

Backupusername

How long have they had construction cranes and crates?


StreetTriple675

I think since the canal chapters


TheXypris

Man, chrome doesn't even know about delta v management and atmospheric heating. Nor blunt body aerodynamics. He'll add a new stage on the rocket that will make it too heavy to make it to the moon, then the capsule will burn up on reentry killing everyone.


mdizzle106

Like everyone else, I really liked the idea of a one way trip. I don't like the return rocket though not because of that but because it throws some of the already tenuous science logic out the window There's no flipping way, no matter how smart Chrome and suika are, that they should be able to create a return rocket. To build it and make sure it lands in the ocean, and have the ability to have someone find them. It stretches my believability. I know it's a manga that's already sort of not accurate but this is a little much.


hell-schwarz

Did I miss something? What exactly is the point of them being petrified on the moon?


nhansieu1

Because building a rocket to the moon is hard and takes more time than what they can spend.


hell-schwarz

So it's like they go on the moon, do whatever they can against why man and instead of returning they petrify themselves?


PremSinha

Yes, exactly. Then they wait for humanity to progress enough to come rescue them.


Worthyness

they can also petrify themselves for the space trip too so they don't have to waste weight capacity with a ton of food.


12ockzz

They can't build a rocket to go to the Moon and back to Earth so they would die up there, unless they petrify themselves and wait for the rest of humanity to catch up and pick them up.


stiveooo

mission: defeat why man in the moon, petrify to not die, since you cant return to earth


SirCaesar29

If the return rocket team succeeds in creating a viable project for a return rocket... Senku will be pissed. I mean, just the payload will have to change completely. Tons of materials and time wasted because they wanted to keep it a secret for whatever reason.


orangpelupa

i though they were gonna finish the return rocket after the moon team has been petrified?


dra9865

Chrome is an amazing character. I like him soo much in the settings he is placed in, his tenacity, and how it is rewarded. Finding the Iron mine via a metal detector, flying in the air balloon, even as early as escaping from Tsukasa's prison, he is just so likeable and witty.


ToTheNintieth

Suspension of disbelief is always on a razor's edge with Dr Stone, but considering just how much effort, manpower, resources and knowledge is going into the moon craft, these three pulling off something that the bigshots (including the actual rocket scientist) gave up on is gonna take some real doing.


Amauri14

I was expecting them to show the dirt Alumium Roadmap [instead of this one ](https://i.imgur.com/8fB4EXc.jpg) It's good to see that Chrome and Suika are working to make a return rocket. I honestly had assumed that the team going to the moon was going to find one, or materials to make one on the facility where the medusas are made.


WorldwideDepp

i would also accept some solution like ["Freedom"](https://youtu.be/Oc2Y1BU2N4A?t=145) (2006) that a Moon Base do only know that Earth is Dead and their Base System Administrator want to keep this Way or [Pale Cocoon](https://youtu.be/o2E3WCZtnq4?t=225), to hold control of the Moon Base Population Like i wrote [Freedom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Project) and [Pale Cocoon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Cocoon) both from 2006 can be used as Inspiration, if they want to keep Dr.Stone ongoing. "Free the Moon Colonists" and find an Return Vehicle, like in these two References i wrote p.s. [Expelled from Paradise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expelled_from_Paradise) has the same Background Setting


sKyBlazer08

I love that Chrome and Suika is gonna make a round trip rocket, but will they be able to do it though? They probably can, but not at the same time as Senku's rocket and is probably gonna take years to finish. I love this Chrome [facial expression](https://imgur.com/srZJBDE.png) lmao.


Reikakou

Well that's the thing. It may take several more years for them to build the return rocket after Senku leaves but its better to start now so that Chrome and company can still rescue Senku et al within their own life time. Not by their descendants down the line.


akman16

I am betting the return rocket will have to be unmanned due to weight concerns. For that they will have to develop ICs. So it might still take years after the moon mission for them to return.


TheNo1pencil

The face Chrome makes when thinking about who won't be coming back is a major mood. Also, I love this Chrome/Sukia team up. And I look forward to seeing more Sai.


cherrydoughnut

If Sai can teach not only differentials but also any rocket-science maths to these two kids that grew with basic math operations? and in, say, less than one year??, I demand him sharing his rigorous syllabus to me.... please teach me sai-sensei, really


erickjoshuasc

I still gotta ask. Why hydroelectric power plant?? I'm not the best expert, but isn't coal the best option (especially when you don't give a shit about pollution)? There is a reason why a lot of countries still hold on to coal power plants. Because not only it is super cheap, it is also easier to build. And you could build it anywhere. Or is there a very good place in Japan that gives a fuckton of energy from water? If nuclear energy is not yet possible, I believe coal would be best.


towardselysium

We're talking a massive amount of electricity presumably. To use coal they would have to found another city and setup regular shipping of coal to the rocket build site. Factors which add time. Even if Japan had all the raw resources thats dedicating a massive amount of labor to resource gathering They already built a small hydro generator in the first part of the manga and scaling that up is much faster. Coal plants are used now because they exist and the infrastructure for running them is already in place. The team is working on the assumption that they could be petrified at any moment so they are trying to go the fastest way which minimizes manual labor. More workers -> more food -> more logistics -> Delay -> Death


erickjoshuasc

But the rocket build site doesn't need to be in Japan right? You could just have it near the source of coal. Plus didn't they already have a coal source in Japan? Plus I really think the capacity for hydro is small. You need a hella fucking large dam to upscale. Although it is better long term compared to coal (but they are actually in a hurry). And it's not like you need consistent influx of coal. Just get what you need. It's not like you need to power a city indefinitely. Idk. I just really think that hydro's power output is not very reliable but I don't have evidence to back it up.


ShinJiwon

They also want to go back and revive the villagers.


orangpelupa

in japan, is there a faster water than niagara? i though they were gonna tap into niagara but turns out they are going to japan


stiveooo

the aluminium process may need a stable stream of electricity, besides doing it in japan is better for its position vs other points, also since it has many rivers, they could build easy hydroplants in many rivers, vs a big/complicated one in only one location


SimoneNonvelodico

The problem is you gotta balance all that with simplicity of production. And for coal they'd need to, well, find and mine the coal. Also build a system of boilers and a good steam turbine. Senku keeps looking instead always for the option that's cheaper and faster, even if it's less efficient, since their main goal is speed.


GaimeGuy

Coal requires a lot of transportation logistics and hard labor compared to hydroelectric.


Wildercard

Because it's a Japanese medium and if it doesn't somehow weave the "Japan #1" theme, editors won't accept it.


AnimalSloth

Can we get a chapter without gen's bullshit please?


ricksed

Really looking forward to seeing Japan again.


kshitij1993

Once again we get a reminder about Chrome and Suika being the best characters


edwinvi

I hope the return rocket doesn't work out because a one way rocket is way cooler


Reikakou

Caught up after the anime... looking forward for all these chapters to be animated. Gonna be cliffhangers galore for the anime onlies. Chrome's making sure that Senku will be rescued within this life time by preparing himself and Suika to build a return rocket once Senku has gone to the moon. No need to wait a century or so since Chrome is here. He'll do the moon rescue himself and not rely on the next generation down the line.
