361"New World Map"Tomomi IkedaShinji TakagiApril 6, 2023 (2023-04-06)June 4, 2023[3]
Returning from their balloon flight Senku reveals to Ryusui his plan to construct an oil-powered ship to reach the source of the petrification ray, South America. Before that, they must successfully locate the still existing Sagara Oil Field. Ryusui enthusiastically agrees to help navigate as ship's captain. Realizing their journey across the ocean will require tons of preserved food they use their balloon and search teams on the ground to locate cedar trees for shipbuilding, wild animal herds for hunting, and an entire valley of wheat to make flour. To increase food production Senku introduces crop farming, freeing the village from their reliance on foraging. Taiju, Magma, and Yo take to farming with particular enthusiasm as more food means they can afford to free more statues from petrification. Senku’s first attempt to bake bread is so bad it is practically poisonous, so he and Ryusui agree they must find a professional chef and free them from petrification immediately.

Senku reveals they have run out of revival-fluid, but Ryusui correctly deduces that journalist Minami hid one person’s worth of fluid, so Gen makes a secret deal with her to get it back. At Ryusui’s direction, they locate and revive Francois, Ryusui's own butler/chef of indeterminate gender and nationality. As a professional Francois is unconcerned by 3,700 years having passed and gets to work producing Stollen, a Christmas sweet bread containing butter, nuts, fruit, and alcohol that can stay edible for a whole year. Minami demands Senku fulfill her deal with Gen so, working with Kaseki and Chrome, Senku recreates a Daguerreotype, the world's first primitive camera. Minami swears to photograph every stage of Senku reviving civilization. Senku also plans to use aerial photography in their search for the oil field. Ryusui surprises everyone by agreeing the historic first photograph should be of Senku. After much arguing, Senku agrees to be photographed, but only in a very specific pose.

Despite the aerial photographs the oil field remains hidden. Autumn arrives so the wheat is harvested. Francois plans a gourmet celebration dinner, so Kohaku gathers boar piglets to raise on the farm for meat and while searching the photographs for a good spot to forage truffles, she accidentally locates the general location of the oil field. When they still cannot locate the oil Senku remembers the Sagara oil field was originally discovered by pigs bathing in oil-soaked mud. Managing to stop Francois in time they instead use the boars as sniffer-boars who lead them directly to the oil. Suika adopts a boar as a pet, naming it Sagara. After processing oil into gasoline Senku builds a rudimentary engine powered speedboat, allowing them to visit the ocean. Chrome begins to realise just how big the world is. Senku announces his next goal, to create a GPS powered by a massive radio tower and Senku’s wireless telephone. At Ginro’s urging Ruri almost uses the system to confess to Chrome but is interrupted by another signal. With his enhanced hearing Ukyo confirms the signal is coming from a second, functional radio tower, meaning other humans are alive somewhere on the planet, endlessly broadcasting the question "WHY?".

The existence of Why-Man is heavily debated as he may be a new enemy. Senku immediately crafts Scientific Eyes, using glass coated in Sphalerite and the electricity channeling power of crystals he creates a rudimentary Cathode-ray tube television screen, which when connected to the radio tower becomes a radar/sonar to accurately pinpoint targets over vast distances, even underwater. Testing the sonar Chrome is astounded it can even find fish, a welcome bonus for the upcoming voyage. The next issue arises; an engine big enough for a ship will requires tonnes of iron. Surprisingly it is Chrome who solves the issue; using what he learned from Senku he connects an electromagnet to the radar and spontaneously reinvents the Metal detector. Locating an iron deposit in a cave mile from the village they begin mining with Senku declaring they have reached the Industrial Revolution. Senku uses a petrol by-product plus gravel to make Asphalt concrete, allowing iron to be driven from the mine to the river by a paved road where Ryusui then sails it to the village. Under Senku and Kaseki's expertise the Minecarts are designed to make mining the iron even easier.

Even with Kaseki’s skills the ship proves impossible to assemble accurately. Ryusui recreates a scale model of a ship, allowing Senku to use a Pantograph to accurately copy the ship pieces to the accurate size and shapes. Ship construction begins running smoothly but the engine requires Senku’s absolute focus during its construction as a single mistake could cause an explosion. Almost a year later the ship is finished. As it may be the last time they are all together Minami insists on a commemorative photograph to mark the launching of the ship Perseus on the 10th of September, 5741 AD. After careful consideration the Perseus’ crew is made up of Ryusui, Senku, Chrome, Kaseki, Yuzuriha, Ukyo, Francois, Kohaku, Magma, Taiju, Nikki, Yo, Gen and Kinro. As they are too dangerous to leave behind Senku brings Hyoga and Homura in the ship's brig. Ginro fakes bravery by pretending to swim after the ship, hoping to impress Ruri, only to be hauled aboard by Taiju, dooming him to join the crew. Before starting the voyage to South America Senku intends to find the island where his father Byakuya returned to earth with the other astronauts and locate something vital for their mission, the crashed Soyuz rocket.

Senku reveals the Soyuz, the birthplace of the Hundred Tales, will help produce enough revival fluid for the whole planet. Senku had noticed a lot of villagers were named after ores (Magma, Chrome, Kohaku, Kin) and deduced from one of the Tales that Byakuya left a stash of valuable ores in the Soyuz, including platinum, a catalyst that can produce the nitric acid that gives the revival fluid its power. One of the crew, No-Name, abruptly reveals he is not a native of Ishigami village, he was found and adopted; his real name is Soyuz, and he comes from another village of astronaut descendants that live on the island with the crashed rocket. Everyone is happy but also nervous in case these distant cousins of theirs are hostile or may even be Why-man. Many villagers become seasick, so Senku extracts a seasickness medicine, Scopolamine, from the flower Devil's Trumpet. A storm hits, providing an opportunity to sail close to the island and use Senku’s technology to determine if the locals are hostile. As they approach Soyuz is overjoyed to finally see where he was born.
