Dr. stone: Knowledge is Power

Chapter 7: chapter 5: Electricity



As the storm disperse, the birth of electricity was a success. Everyone cheers except for someone. Kinro was looking at his now shattered staff that was gold but now turn into dust once pulled out from the ground. Ginro was mocking and teasing him when he was silence by kinro, smacking the yellow hair boy on the head.

As kinro walk away, y/n approaches by his side and comforted him.

"Sorry we destroyed your staff, senku will make a new one if he has time."

Y/n smiles reassuringly making kinro slightly blush and nods, scratching the back of his neck.

Y/n then heard kohaku panicking as she hold the two iron bars that was covered by a coil wire.

"Senku we have a problem!! Theres some force keeping them apart"

Kohaku says as she tries to stick the two iron close while y/n chuckled, remembering kohaku doesn't know anything about magnets.

Senku helped kohaku out by flipping the other, making the other iron collide to the other.

Powerful Magnet acquired

"Now we can make that right? That insane electricity stuff?!"

Chrome says excitedly while the mentalist worries about something.

"But how will you make the power generator work, wind? Fossil fuel? But surely not nuclear generator right?"

"Nope, physical power generator of course"

"Figured"

Y/n says as she looks at senku with a scoff. Knowing that's the only possible source of energy in their current situation.

Back at camp, the people who ate ramen, including gen, start their work till they fell to the ground in exhaustion. Then it was time to work.

As senku instructs what to do, y/n, chrome and kohaku helped out and while y/n was holding her laugh at senku because of his balloon like allergic reaction face from laqcuer.

"Sorry senku, you look funny"

"Shut up and and help me out here"

Y/n smiles as she helped senku out something.

They all made effort and created the hand cranked hand generator.

Electric generator acquired

"So how do we use this?"

Kohaku asks as y/n replied.

"We have to move them simultaneously to left side, meaning they can't move in different speed or else it will fall apart."

"So if we don't synchronize it, it will fall apart"

Chrome tells as he looks at y/n as she nods.

"Exactly, it's tiring and hard to do."

"If only there were duo with stamina and physical skill and totally synchronized."

As they all think, gen had an idea of who was perfect for the job.

"I think there are two possible duo who fit the requirements."

As they went to the two on guards at post at the bridge, gen then tells about the benefits of electricity, even though he has no clue what they are made of.

Senku whispered and complained while kohaku complimented his smooth words.

Y/n just chuckled at the mentalist way of persuading, caughting the attention of gen and smile at himself as he sees y/n chuckle.

Meanwhile the convincing work, especially when they heard about turning their spears to gold or silver.

Kinro and ginro worked hard and made effort as they spin the wheel at the same time.

"As expected of the brothers, they're perfectly in sync"

"Kukuku, kinro and ginro acquired, and now I've built up a pretty good line up for the kingdom of science."

Senku grins at himself. Meanwhile y/n was holding on to a leaf and a small pointy and wavy wire made out of bamboo fiber. Gen stand beside her and saw it.

"Is that really gonna work?"

Gen asks as y/n confirmed.

"Yeah, it's made out bamboo fiber, senku and I prepared it "

"I see, but how is it gonna work, it's not possible unless it made out coil isn't it?"

"It's possible, heard of Edison light bulb?"

As she mentioned this, gen gets the idea.

Edison light bulb, the light bulb that was made of bamboo fiber.

Y/n watches senku going up the hay like roof and putting wires, kohaku and chrome helping senku out. She approaches and hands senku the leaf with the bamboo wire.

As senku connects the wires to the ends of the bamboo wire, he asked chrome about something.

"Hey chrome, you afraid of the dark?"

"Yeah, it's so pitch dark, why ask now?"

"In our time in Japan, we have lights 24/7 thanks to old man Edison's light bulb. Light bulbs erased the night of the world."

With science humanity, it defeated the night darkness.

Even if it's 3700 years, even the light didn't last a second, it was the first light to be shine bright at the dark night.

After it was over, they all sit back and rest from their work and after they succeeded to bring light just for a second. Y/n stayed beside senku, sitting beside him as they looked at the stars.

Senku then tells about how he became curious of how light was created. He became more curious and ends up getting excited to explore the so called, science.

Senku clenched the wire and smiled. Making y/n smile too, because now that they have taken a step towards modernization.

"We've made it, another step"
