With electricity available, Senku automates ironmaking, allowing villagers to prepare for winter. Senku, Chrome, and Kaseki create light bulbs to celebrate Christmas by decorating a tree. Chrome explores caves with the new lights, discovering new minerals. Senku and Kaseki struggle to find a heat-resistant filament for vacuum tubes. During a New Year's sunrise, Senku gains inspiration from Suika, identifying tungsten as the solution. He then organizes a spelunking expedition with Chrome and Magma to secure the necessary materials for their scientific advancements.
