[CHROME] Huh? So what's the deal here?

Why do you have a tray full of soggy wheat?

[KASEKI] Looks sprouted to me.

[SENKU] That's 10 billion percent fine.

We'll take this and then dry it out in the oven.

[KASEKI] I thought you'd just soaked the stuff!

What are you even trying to do?

We've gotta knead it, and get rid of the hulls.

Then I get to beat the heck out of it!

Huh. [thudding]

[SENKU] Mix it in hot water and filter.

You get wheat juice.

AKA "wort."

-Whoa! -Whoa!

[SENKU] Toss in some Humulus lupulus,

they're hops that grow wild in Japan, and boil.

And then, we just let our yeast buddies

do their thing.

We'll leave it to ferment on its own and become alcohol.

The yeast will even carbonate the stuff for us.

[liquid trickling]

[cheering]

[exhales]

Hmm.

Nothing like a good beer!

Hits the spot!

Back in ancient Egypt.

-[laughs] -[SENKU] Beer was so valuable,

they used to pay their pyramid builders with it.

[gulps]

It's perfect after a hard day's work.

You're not wrong!

[gulping]

[laughs]

That's good stuff!

Wait, hold on.

Are you not gonna have any?

I think I'll pass for now.

It's fine. I'm not the only one.

We gotta have some sober folks to make sure

the ship doesn't sink or something.

But luckily, not everyone is a fan

of drinking, anyway.

[chuckles]

I'm not really old enough to be drinking alcohol.

Yeah, guess you are a little young.

[chuckles]

Don't let it get you down.

But when it's time to have fun on my ship,

you've gotta promise me that you'll have fun with us.

No exceptions allowed, you hear?

Francois! [finger snap]

Yes, sir.

So I shall mix some special, non-alcoholic cocktails.

It would be a blow to the entire crew's morale

if we were to let those who don't imbibe feel left out.

Can you really do all that?

On this tiny shipboard bar?

[RYUSUI] Expect nothing less from Francois!

[laughs]

Let us know if you need anything.

Whatever you want, the science team's on it!

You're as kind and generous as always.

And since you're offering so magnanimously...

[GEN] Gum syrup, eh?

We're making it from wheat.

Once you wash the wheat flour,

the gunk that collects down there at the bottom is starch.

The secret ingredient is sulfuric acid.

How nice. Our old friend, Sulfurina!

You're gonna put that in a drink?

That stuff is super poisonous, Senku!

It'll melt your teeth if you drink it straight.

Which is why we boil the crap out of it!

Oh, yeah.

Of course, you wouldn't use that

without some sort of scientific trick handy to neutralize it.

Gotta learn the value of patience, Gen.

[SENKU] Dump in some toxic witherite.

-That's poison, too! -That's poison, too!

It's probably just the name

that sounds scary, right?

I mean there's no way Senku'd be putting

straight up poison in our drinks.

Nah, it's straight up poison.

-[GEN, KASEKI] But why? -[CHROME] But why?

Would you scaredy-cats just shut up already?

We've been making sugar

and stuff with this for a while now.

Mix it up, check the pH, filter it, and it's harmless.

That's how science works.

Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, you'll die.

After that's done, you've got gum syrup.

Ah!

So sweet!

Warming up a bottle of milk, huh?

Doesn't seem like it's gotten much hotter than bath water.

Yeah, that's kinda the whole point.

a little bit of lemon and, voila!

Ah! Wow!

I've never had anything like it before in my life!

It's super sweet, a little bit sour,

[FRANCOIS] I added some apple juice

to this lactic drink.

Apple, huh? Good idea.

[Kaseki laughs]

I love the little cucumber on the rim.

It looks like an even tinier,

cuter version of your helmet, Suika!

It's not just a decorative garnish.

Once you're about halfway finished,

drop it into the glass and give that a try.

♪

[slurps]

The flavor changed

and now it tastes like a watermelon!

It's really yummy and refreshing!

That's cool.

How'd it go from apple to watermelon?

Well, it's from mixing gourd family plants with fruit juice.

Your pure smile, like radiant sunshine,

interacts with your helmet,

showcasing your effervescent charm.

A cocktail especially for Suika,

the 2Side Sunshine.

♪

[YUZURIHA] Francois looks like a bartender in a movie,

the way they're throwing the drinks around.

I would bet that there's some scientific reason

it makes the drinks mix better!

Would you, now?

It's nothing of the sort.

-Are you serious? -Are you serious?

It's simply for flair.

It treats the guest's eyes in addition to their palates

for a more complete experience.

Wow, talk about mastering the art of hospitality.

Hm.

[FRANCOIS] This cocktail is for Tsukasa.

Watch, as the red of the pomegranate

under the scientific glow of the black light

changes like the gentle flame

smoldering inside Tsukasa's heart.

[CHROME] It turned blue?

[SUIKA] It's glowing.

So pretty.

[ice clanking]

[chuckles softly] Very good.

Thank you.

And now, for Gen, an innocent look

hides a mature and spicy kick.

♪

[slurps]

Now that's what I call a spicy cola!

[FRANCOIS] And for you, Kohaku.

♪

Huh. Humanity really is something.

We have the imagination and knowledge

to create amazing things from natural ingredients.

[laughs]

Yeah, but you do realize that everything

in our world is natural.

And this one is a cocktail

crafted for the one and only Senku.

Whipped matcha, milk, and hojicha tea syrup.

The layers represent science and the way that

it constantly builds upon itself.

Since I'm gonna drink it all together,

can't I just stir it up?

[FRANCOIS] I thought you might suggest that.

I believe the layers of flavor will blend together elegantly.

The scientific achievements working in concert

to become a mildly sweet latte.

[grunting]

-[GINRO] Kinro, behind you! -[KINRO] What?

[GINRO] Ow!

[RYUSUI] In the early Middle Ages.

These brave warriors ruled the Northern Seas.

They are the Vikings!

Displaying extremely impressive nautical skills,

the Vikings arrived in the Americas

500 years before Columbus.

♪

Now, that's amazing.

How did they do it so long ago?

Yeah!

It's not fair!

How were they able to get around so easily?

It's not like they had signs to follow!

The sun could've acted as a big sign.

That's true, but what about when skies were cloudy?

Did they have some kind of weird trick that they used?

They did, and it's the stuff of legends!

It was said that Vikings had a tool that

would reveal the position of the sun under

any weather condition.

They called it a sunstone.

You see, it was incredibly difficult to determine

your bearing and position

while traveling across the high seas.

So, it was crazy hard for the Vikings to do,

but we're supposed to take the most

complicated way to get there, aren't we?

[Senku chuckles]

Nah, it's like, stupid easy now.

'Cause thanks to science and ol' professor GPS,

we always know exactly where we are.

Question about that.

Although it does sound like an amazing idea.

What is stone world GPS?

[smirks]

It's coordination with Ruri and the others back in Japan.

[birds chirping]

Wow, look at that!

What the deal with all these hourglasses?

Don't forget the sundial, too,

these will help us transmit the time in Japan

as accurately as possible to our friends on the ship.

-Message from Ruri? -It's finally happening!

Expressing her feelings for Chrome

from across the ocean!

What are you idiots talking about?

We're ridiculously far away.

It'd be impossible to have a conversation.

Then how do we get the message?

Well, they won't be verbal,

but we can receive faint shortwave signals.

So they send one every hour, right on the hour.

[bell ringing]

[chuckles] There we go

And that means it's 10:00 a.m. there.

And as long as we know the hour,

all I have to do is count the seconds to make sure

we stay accurate.

How could I forget we have "Senku the Human Stopwatch"

as our captain.

I still don't really get how knowing what time it is

helps us figure out where we are.

Especially, out in the middle of the ocean.

It's okay, Suika.

The modern grown-ups don't really understand

how any of this stuff works, either.

Right now, the sun's

at its highest point in the sky.

Meaning, that it's 12 o'clock our time!

The time difference gives us our latitude.

And the height of the sun, our longitude.

And what that tells me,

is the Perseus is currently, here!

I don't get the technical stuff,

but I got the last part.

'Cause if we know our longitude and latitude,

we know exactly where we are!

we'll know everything we need to!

Yeah. Should the skies ahead be nice and clear,

grit, and willpower, but ended up having

absolutely nothing left over for luck.

-Woo-hoo! -[rain splattering]

There's no way that we'll be able to see the sun

through all of these thunderclouds and rain!

Huh.

Which means we'll just have to rely

on my sailor's instincts during the day.

And if this keeps up,

we're gonna lose an awful lot of time.

Without the sun to guide us

we'll just be sailing around in circles.

If only we had something magical to help like

that sunstone from the Viking legends.

Ruri would think too much of it.

Yeah? I never actually said a single thing about her.

Because when you get the angle just right

and point this baby at the sun.

See? It lined up!

The two marks look almost exactly the same!

Not that I know why or anything.

No way!

Yes way!

It's calcite so, duh!

It acts as a natural prism.

Splitting rays of light in two.

So when they line up,

it'll show us where the sun is hiding away?

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole idea.

Huh, it makes sense to me now.

Apparently, when they investigate Viking shipwrecks

at the bottom of the ocean,

they often discover a huge amount of calcite.

Although, it's always been a mystery

as to why they were carrying it with them.
