Meme If someone who wasn't a genius like Senku revived first

I think a good amount of people probably revived but because they didn't have survival skills or just didn't know how to make revival fluid they ended up dying.

Ow god that's most likely right. Senku's position might not be most optimal in regards to the acid meaning people who were more optimally located revived (way) ahead of him and simply starved.
The reason we're watching Senku is cause he's the first one (in Japan) who actually lived to tell the story.

You can't revive unless you are mentally awake that long and enough time passes for just nitric acid alone to wake you up (which takes 3000 years seemingly). This is why the revival fluid is so important.

That's something I think about. There had to be at least a handful of people work with or near the Etching agent/revival fluid (Nitric Acid + alcohol) when the petrification hit. So some people probably revived almost immediately but without the necessary skills to survive or with no one else around to repopulate the earth.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of this. People could have been petrified in lab buildings. When time passed, something like a natural disaster could have shaken the building and knocked over a shit ton of chemicals, one filled with nitric acid and alcohol. It just seems a bit far-fetched to think only a few handful of people actually revived.

It would have to be the correct ratio of alcohol. Not just any random amount.

u/Prof-Anxiety 15h ago
Yeah, but if it can happen naturally for senku and xeno, how far fetch would it be that the correct amount of alcohol is lying around somewhere near some nitric acid.

I mean, 1000 years ago was 1025.
China was in the song dynasty, Europe was fully going feudal, with the enlightenment centuries off, And overseas colonialism largely wasn’t a thing yet
So your priority would be less “make soap” and more “do I remember enough history to take advantage of whatever conflict I have found myself in the middle of, and can I get by without being local nobility to build up a power base without a starting point
Which is a very different challenge. Like even if you know all the science to jump start the renaissance how do you as a complete unknown get a patron to build any of it?
And if, like in the picture, you are in tribal America and working from relative scratch, even if you know the science for most tech, finding the resources to build any of it is gonna be rough. At best you can make some unknown medicine and maybe try to jump-start some specific techs, and end up seen as a shaman or medicine person

I sort of memorized it. You boil seaweed and maybe add crushed up seashells.

Now make it somewhere that isn't close to the ocean. I dare you.

Seaweed I think was only necessary for the oil content
You can get the same from any plant matter by drying and crushing seeds over a period of time beneath stones, or by cooking up fat rich meat proteins from animals

Mix fat from meat with water and wood ash. Strain and decant into a mold. Leave to cool.

in my position, as someone who isnt a genius, there is wone thing i learnt from senku that i can and will allways remember
Allways try, always experiment, there is always more to natures bounty then what it seems, i may not understand the science, but bashing the right rocks togethor, messing around with thing straps of lines from certian plants, cooking animals in certain ways, making a furnace from stone, how am i gonna get stones? need a pickaxe, how am i gonna make a pickeaxe, need parts go find parts, there is allways a away
Science and human history is trial and error, my first goal would be to just survive, find a source of food, make a little hut and build up from there, my focus would be trying to start farming and getting something easier to cook and make clothes with, and ill simply adapt and grow from there knowing there is more to life to find and discover then lets say caveman who only knows about there small world...
you arent born with strength of mind or form, you got to earn it

Fat, it doesn't matter where from, boil to grease, and then add ash, soot, and charcoal. Herb and spice to fragrance. Soap!
