Well yep, you don't have to worry about a lot when you can turn everyone into stone, pack em tight, and set it to revive when at the destination, don't matter if you don't have ftl, time is no longer an issue.

The bullets more than likely passed right through them, at as close of range they were being shot at the bullets probably had too much momentum to be lodged in the wounds.

Time to delve into energetics.
Also Time to condense 3 centuries of global industrialization and technology into at least a decade. The hardest bit of all this is going to be the manufacturing of the materials needed. Metallurgy at scale is a motherfucker to deal with. High energy chemistry at scale is a motherfucker to deal with. Near every step on this is going to be a huge ordeal.

Now that everybody is on the same side again I wonder if we'll get a time skip like when they built the ship to cross the ocean.

As for the gunshot wounds, we've seen that when someone is petrified they become solid stone all the way through. Which makes it seem like being turned to stone doesn't actually preserve the state of your internal organs and instead just kind of resets things. So unless you actually had something sticking into the wound when turned to stone you're probably fine and would end up with just a surface injury when revived.

At least it'll be cool getting back to a science/technology-focused arc after what's felt like 2 or 3 consecutive arcs of combat/escape.

It should still be a long time to get to the Moon, certainly in the time passing in the manga if not the number of actual chapters. I don't know how the hell you could extend things after Why-Man/whatever's up on the Moon is dealt with, though trying to solve the general society problems that "we can heal all wounds/diseases and bring back the dead with Dr. Stone" introduces would very much be my jam, though I think I'm in the minority on that.

There's also still SO MANY people to revive on the planet, so I have to think that reverse-medusa tech that de-stones everyone in a wide (potentially planet-wide) radius will be a thing, but then again if you just hit that button and apply that worldwide I have to imagine it'll cause way more chaos and problems than if you do it one nation or region at a time. Senku cruising around doing that bit-by-bit seems like the logical conclusion to the manga, whether it leaves off showing us the end result after he's freed everyone or with him setting off on that journey/showing where he's at after a time-skip and in the middle of it.

An anti-petrification ray for any wide area is a bad thing for people being stuck in landslides, under water, grown over, in pieces or unable to get shelter and food. So basically everyone.

There's a lot of stuff they're gonna have to asspull or paper over to avoid addressing that there's definitely millions of people who are categorically just dead dead. Anyone in an airplane when the wave hit. Anyone who was in any precarious environment (high-rises, environments that would destroy their statues without human maintenance, on boats). Anyone whose statue was destroyed by random chance, etc.

Any boiling-water nuclear reactor which probably would've melted down after a while. All stockpiles of nuclear material/waste. Every coal ash pond. Every place on earth that stored hypergolic chemicals. All the nuclear missile silos on earth would need re-secured even if they collapsed.

This is actually possibly terrifying. Unless they can find and revive people who personally know of all the active nuke locations pre-wave (no one person would know all of them, there are tens of thousands world-wide) then the new civilization will be build on a bunch of potential nuclear land mines :gonk:

All of the pre-wave nukes have PROBABLY decayed to the point of being inactive, but that's a very high-risk "probably" to be working with.

I can't recall the half life of most of the material used in most reactors and weapons, but I want to say the high-grade stuff used for nuclear weapons would still be quite radioactive at this point.

I can't remember for post-Chernobyl boiling water reactors, but believe it or not Chernobyl would still be uninhabitable. From about now, it'll take Chernobyl something like 15,000-20,000 years to become fully inert/safe. Anyone who was at or near the largest sites for storing hypergolic chemicals would probably be dust when the containers failed and stuff started going up. Also any place that stored significant amounts of fertilizer, like in Beirut. We're talking absolutely colossal explosions comparable to small scale nuclear weapons that would be inevitable if nobody took care of the storage sites in places where it could get hot+dry enough or was in proximity to other chemicals whose containment would fail.

I wonder if petrification can cure/treat DNA damage. I guess it depends on where it's drawing the template that it restores the body to from.

Nuclear missiles are the least of your worries, they won't go critical from just sitting there. You'd have to somehow accidentally arm it for them to pop off.

True, but I"m just boggling at the logistics of finding billions of people, digging them out into a safe place, and then pouring a fairly hard to make chemical on them one at a time.

Oh hey, another cool Dr. Stone use would be to enable long-distance space voyages to other solar systems. I wouldn't be surprised if a medusa hack was involved in getting them safely to the moon.

World production of Nitric Acid is at about 60 million tonnes per year of which 80% of it is used in the production of fertilizers. It's one of the most produced chemicals in the world next to Sulfuric Acid (which is also used primarily for fertilizers) so if any kind of mass production of chemicals is going to be a thing it's not going to be a problem to make enough of it to depetrify the world.
