Dr. Stone - Episode 9 discussion

They were even searching for iron sand in a river last episode so we know they have one nearby. Why build a human-powered generator when you could just build a water wheel? A water wheel could pretty easily power blowers for smelting, a flour mill for the ramen, a sawmill to get modern construction going, or irrigation to kick off an agricultural revolution. Low hanging fruit right here.

Also, why is Senku shooting for guns to deal with Tsukasa when he could just make some poison? Just whip some up and have someone slip it into his food. Or if you're totally set on a physical confrontation just coat a blowgun dart in something fast-acting. Or how about some kind of trap? Smart people were leveraging technology to kill other people long before we invented guns.
