Following the events of the original story, Senku, Xeno, and their friends have managed to revive humanity from the mass petrification event and gain the assistance of a Why-Man. Now, they're looking at a science project so monumental, it dwarfs everything else they've accomplished so far: building a TimeMachine that will allow them to stop the petrification before it ever happens. However, accomplishing this will require monumental amounts of resources and even more technological advancements... how can the Kingdom of Science accomplish this goal?
