"Now that we have basically everything we need, we can start lighting up all of the dark spots in our road map to the cure-all drug. So let's plow through as many steps as we can today! This is exhilarating, get excited people!"
Senku grabbed a bunch of glass equipment and held it out with a lot of force. I cringed and immediately started removing the test tubes and flasks from his hands. I laughed nervously, if they break we'll have to make Kaseki make more and that's just not fair. "Haaha yeah! Woohoo! But first let's make sure we don't break anything okay?"
We gathered a few materials and everyone headed outside. It just barely occurred to me that our numbers were slowly increasing, yay!
"First we'll boil sulfuric acid with a bit of salt."
"What's this weird glass sculpture with a stick in the middle?" -Suika
"Its a water drippin' machine—"
"How dare you make me build something so complicated and terrible! Damn it now you've gone and made get all excited!" -Kaseki
I chuckled and thought to myself: yeah it sure is livelier around here...I know who would make this ten times more fun though.
"So are we catching the gas the sulfuric acid with salt makes when it drips?" -Chrome
"Yes sir! Now we've got...drum roll please!" I mimicked the sound and motion of a drum roll and then Senku & I said the answer simultaneously, "Hydrochloric acid!!"
"Hydro-what now?" -Kohaku
"Yes hydrochloric acid. Somewhat dangerous chemical. Get it in your eyes and you'll be blinded forever. Hey kid would you like to do the honors for our next chemical?"
Senku handed me the container with hydrochloric acid and sinters from the sulfuric acid spring.
"Hmmm okay, HSO₃Cl right?"
"Yup." I started the process for it as Senku narrated what I was doing. "We'll just boil it, throw it into the hydrochloric acid we just made and...we have chlorosulfuric acid!"
"Wait, hydro- chloro- huhh??" -Kohaku
"This one is super super dangerous. If it gets on your skin, you'll become a zombie."
"Mhm, this one is nasty as hell. Apart from being used in antibacterial agents, it was also used to make detergents, dyes, uhh what else?"
"Oh plastic and artificial sweeteners too."
"Yes! It's a corrosive and irritant leveled compound if I'm correct. Alright what's next!"
Using the generator- powered by poor Ginro and Kinro's coordinated work- Senku powered up the cables again and dipped them into salt water.
