Senku was defeated by Dr. Xeno in the battle between the scientists. A sniper named, Stanley tried to assassinate Senku. Senku had devised a bulletproof material for protection but a fragment wasn’t blocked. Therefore, Senku cannot work as a scientist for some time. At least till the time he is fine. Chrome is the second in command.
In such a distressing time, the other team has found the enemy base. Chrome plans to make a tunnel that can lead to the base from the below the ground. This is the first major project that Chrome is going to handle without the presence of Senku. The plan is ready but the execution will take some time. In order to get more time, they let enemy have the Petrification Device. The attack will take place in two weeks.
Chrome is planning to invent something that can underpass beneath the ground with the help of science. According to his roadmap, he needs combination of various stuff to invent a contemporary Drill with the parts available to him. This is the first thing that Chrome has designed by himself. Nonetheless, the idea of redesigning something that makes drilling faster to make a tunnel is quite amazing.
Since the weekly shonen jump has been delayed, Chapter 162 of Dr. Stone will be released on 23rd August, 2020. You can read the latest chapter of Dr. Stone on Manga Plus Site by Shueisha.
In the absence of Senku, the team is preparing to invade the enemy base. Senku has planned to remain on the ship as a bait while Chrome will go with them. Xeno believes that there is a dead scientist on the ship. He can make the rest of the people surrender after surrounding them. But he doesn’t know that the send team is getting near. The ship will be attacked in two weeks and Chrome will be able to complete his project of designing tunnel in that duration.
Tsukasa, Hyoga, Ukyo, and Kohaku are with Chrome and they are considered as the best fighters of the Kingdom of Science. If they manage to get through the tunnel to the enemy base, these four combatants are enough to take over. Two weeks might be enough for Senku to recover so that he can help to make this plan successful.
Dr. Xeno can’t be taken lightly as he is much kore experienced, considering his former position in NASA. Since Senku would prefer to deal with him without any violence, they will become the part of Kingdom of Science. The resources discovered in USA can be greatly useful to bring back many more people in the world. This way they can also crack the mystery behind the petrification that trapped everyone into stone. Dr. Xeno is a lot more experienced compared to Senku but he has no idea how the petrification can be undone. Senku needs the Corn discovered in USA inorder to make Alcohol that can be used to make a fluid to revive many people. He wants to revive every single person.
Before the beginning of this arc it was revealed that the petrification has something to do with the moon. Senku plans to make a force of talented and highly skilled people who can design a range rocket to reach moon. But for that to happen, they need much more advanced technology and some genius people are required in the Kingdom of Science. Since Dr Xeno had previously worked in the related projects in NASA, he can be great help. The failed assassination attempt can sabotage this partnership. We have to wait to see what happens next. Chrome seems to have a great plan to get to the enemy base and attack them as he is accompanied by the best combatants. Hopefully, Senku recovers fast so that we can see him in action soon.
