Senku later discovers Ishigami Village, with the help of Kohaku, a resident of that village. While there, Senku gains the trust of Chrome, Kaseki, Kinro, Ginro and Suika. Together they create the official location of the Kingdom of Science headquarters, located right next to Ishigami Village in the clearing that originally held only Chrome's storehouse.

Indeed, Ibara used the Petrification weapon to silence anyone, including the original leader.

The Kingdom of Science gathered a new weapon and learned of an ominous threat called the Why-man, who had previously been enigmatic to them before.

After weeks of traveling and reviving new warriors, the Perseus reached America.

They overcame attacks from wildlife and were close to gathering corn for their supplies but came under attack by a revived American Stanley Snyder who attacked them with a machine gun and a fighter plane.  It is soon revealed that few Americans were revived on their own and under leadership of Xeno who built a large fortress of weapons. Xeno is unaware of how to create the revival formula.

## Sub-Factions

Inside the Kingdom, Senku split the components into various sub-factions, allowing them to do the job according to their specialty.

### Five Wise Commanders

The Five Wise Commanders are the sharpest minds in the Kingdom of Science at the time who heard the first message from Why-man. They hold the responsibility to plan out strategies on how they should proceed. The main decision normally comes from Senku, as he is the official leader of the Kingdom of Science. Chrome is the only post-petrification human among them.

### Power Team

The Power Team normally do the hard work in order to fulfill the bidding of the Craftsmanship and Development Team. They do hard work such as mining, processing the materials that require great strength, and farmwork. They often help the craftsmanship and Development Team, especially when it comes to the work that requires much manpower to complete it.

Taiju is leader of the Farming Division, with Yo and Magma assisting. Kohaku, Kinro and Ginro forms the Defense Division. After the Treasure Island Arc, Kirisame joined the ranks. Matsukaze's petrified body was found among the bodies thrown into the ocean and revived. He then joined the Kingdom of Science to serve Ginro, who looks similar to his former master (most likely being a distant relative). Later, after Tsukasa's revival he joined the team as the main leader. Tsukasa suggested reviving Hyoga, who agreed to join in exchange for having Homura and Mozu revived and have them join as well. With the joining of the Americans and the KoS, Maya would lend her strength to them and help alongside Taiju. As of now, there are fourteen total members: Taiju, Kohaku, Kinro, Ginro, Magma, Nikki, Yo, Kirisame, Matsukaze, Tsukasa, Hyoga, Homura, Mozu and Maya.

### Intelligence

The Intelligence Team mainly rely on gathering information, such as reconnaissance, espionage, finding a suitable person to revive, and relaying the information back to an appropriate person to do the job. Normally, they report it to Five Wise Commanders so they can make a decision.

### Craftsmanship and Development

The Craftsmanship and Development Team mainly consists of members that excel in manufacture and have knowledge about materials. Senku was mainly responsible for synthesizing chemicals with Chrome as an assistant. Senku does some minor crafting work but this job is mostly done by Kaseki, as he can develop complex items and equipment based on what Senku wants to make. Chrome plays a dual role and often helps Kaseki with crafts, occasionally coming up with his own inventions (though often Senku points out they existed in the old world). Ryusui excels at designing and creating the ship, along with the ideas that can boost the economy of the Kingdom of Science. Yuzuriha is also exceptionally skilled at crafts, mostly soft crafts such as sewing and tailoring, allowing her to create a large variety of clothes with her handicraft work. She occasionally does a degree of hard crafts as well and has worked with Kaseki a few times. Suika later joins this group after the New Stone World Arc, learning under Senku.
