Your strike is too shallow!
One of us must win the Grand Bout so that
we can give Ruri-nee the cure-all medicine!
All right, so while Gen's out deceiving Tsukasa,
let's get started on that cure-all drug.
Yeah!
What are we making with science next?
There's a material that's just as important for building a civilization as iron.
The first man-made material in history, synthesized using science...
Glass.
What's that?
Aren't we gonna make all sorts of drugs
now that we have electricity and all that?
Yeah, we are.
Clay pots are no longer going to cut it
for our happy chemistry experiments if we want to make the cure-all sulfa drug.
Glass can stand up to just about any chemical.
Glass is the foundation of chemistry.
Ten billion percent easy to process!
Yet it's tough as hell and durable!
You can even see through it, which means you can observe the chemicals inside.
Really? Oh, man.
To top it all off, once we have glass,
we might finally get a chance to yank that headpiece
off of Great Detective Suika and see her true face.
11.0 Vision
Wait, Senku!
Suika doesn't want her face to be seen!
Take a good look.
Wow, Suika! You're perfectly adorable!
What the hell?!
Good morning, world
Good Morning World!
Good Morning World!
How far have I walked?
Only the pain in my feet
Gives me a sense of the distance
The hope for a beautiful view at the end of a long night
Is what keeps me going today
The mountains of the gods, the palaces of green
The depths of the caves, the ends of the deep blue sky
I'll go the full distance, there are no limits
To the ends of the world
Good morning, world
Good Morning World!
Good Morning World!
Rid away the impossibility of the dark
An odyssey turning mythology into the everyday
In this painstaking journey, turning over every stone
We'll expand our world
I have the fuzzy sickness in my eyes.
Everything looks fuzzy to me,
so I end up looking like this when I try really hard to see, and it's embarrassing.
But with this mask, for some reason, it's a little easier to see!
Yeah, that's the pinhole effect.
Nearsighted
If you look at an object through a small hole,
Normal
the light passing through it narrows, bringing it into focus.
What does glass have to do with Suika's fuzzy sickness?
It has ten billion percent to do with it!
Listen up, Suika.
You're nearsighted as hell.
That's not a disease.
It's not even a defect.
In a technological civilization, it doesn't even bother anyone.
We have eyes of science, made from glass.
They're called glasses, and they solve everything.
Science users can make eyes?
That's so amazing.
Yeah.
If I could, I'd love to see the beauty of the world, too.
Even if it's just once.
I want to meet you guys without the fuzziness.
I want to meet the real you, just once.
All right.
Let's make this glass stuff!
Yeah.
What do we need to gather, Senku?
Glass is made mostly from quartz sand.
I didn't see any in the Chrome Collection, actually.
I'm not going to collect sand.
I did see a hint that'll lead us to quartz sand, though.
This was the place.
This is where I found this translucent rock as a kid.
That little tidbit is worth a ton.
That translucent rock, that crystal,
tends to be found in areas of decayed granite, like this place.
And all this sand here is the raw material for glass:
quartz sand.
Yo, the white grains are falling out like crazy!
This is fun!
We'll get loads here.
Try to gather the see-through ones.
We grind down all the quartz sand into fine grains.
Then we mix it with a bunch of other stuff and melt it in the stove.
What else do we need?
We already have everything we need.
Thanks to all of our efforts so far.
Ten percent calcium carbonate, or sea shells.
Twenty percent cooked seaweed.
We used all this stuff when we made soap.
Now...
All right! Galena!
Lead acquired!
We just need to throw in some lead, and we have super see-through lens glass.
It's shiny and see-through, like ice!
It's like a gem.
That's a weird-looking tool.
We'd die if we tried to polish glass by hand.
We can use that super tough corundum for polishing.
Glass has a Mohs hardness of about 6.
Corundum's is 9.
Polishing will be a piece of cake!
Here they go again with their stone talk.
And the strongest is diamond, with a hardness of 10.
I can't keep up with them.
Diamond is nuts!
That's insane!
Suika, can you see what's in front of you?
They're just sunflowers.
It's not like I can't see at all, you know.
Again.
Why is your final strike so shallow?
It's your worst habit, Kinro.
Distance is crucial in spear fighting.
If you can't get a good sense of distance, you'll never defeat Magma.
Distance, huh?
What can you do, though, right?
I mean, you have the fuzzy sickness.
That's why you ended up with such a menacing look.
I was born that way.
I don't get it.
I'd just tell her, straight-up.
"It's not my fault.
It's my eyes. I'm actually way stronger."
Excuses are unbecoming of a grown man.
Don't tell anyone, Ginro.
You're both surprisingly good-looking, Senku and Chrome.
What do you mean, "surprisingly"? Jeez.
Next, we're finally making glass instruments.
Now that Suika's labor potential has leveled up super high,
we're going to put together a full chemistry set.
Don't call her "labor potential"!
Just let it end as a feel-good story!
What are you laughing about?!
Acquired glass!!
It's time for our fun glasswork class!
Let's get working!
We're throwing these black rocks in, right?
I'm going to keep them coming!
You've gotten even more nimble, Suika.
I don't mess up anymore, now that everything isn't fuzzy.
There's white bubbles coming out.
This is the foam that's created when you burn obsidian.
We're using the foam as insulation to make a glassblowing furnace.
Then we make an iron straw,
then we blow up the glass with air, and that's it.
Hey, it was our first try.
When I first started making clay pots, it took months before they looked decent.
Months?!
We don't have that much time!
I'm worried about Ruri-nee's health, too.
I'm not a glass craftsman.
Trial and error is all we've got.
A craftsman?
Hey, cut it out, Chrome!
Who the hell is that old fart?
Come on, Old Man Kaseki!
