Chapter 47: Gravity Training Room Version 0

The awkward atmosphere lingered for quite some time.

Dr. Brief knew he had inadvertently touched a sore spot for Bulma, so he simply retreated to the side and stopped talking.

In the end, it was Lin Chuan who took the initiative to change the subject.

After learning that this was the Gravity Training Room Bulma had built, he spoke up:

"So, this is the Gravity Training Room you built?"

"Of course. Why else would I have called you over? It was specifically for your needs that Dad and I spent our spare time working on this after finishing our research on the spaceship every day," Bulma said, crossing her arms under her chest with a look of pride.

The way she stared straight at Lin Chuan seemed to say, "Hurry up and praise me."

Her mindset had shifted quite quickly; perhaps as time passed, Bulma had also taken the initiative to let go of her past hang-ups.

Of course, that was how she appeared on the surface; Lin Chuan couldn't tell what she was thinking inside.

Seeing this, Dr. Brief breathed a visible sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid of Bulma yelling at him.

He knew his daughter's temper all too well.

In any case, he, as her father, couldn't keep her in check.

He had talked to his wife more than once, saying that if Bulma's temper were a bit gentler, they probably would have been holding grandchildren by now.

Were there many people pursuing Bulma?

That was a certainty.

They could line up all the way around West City.

But because of Yamcha, Bulma had been held back until now.

The more Dr. Brief and his wife looked at Lin Chuan, the more they liked him. Because of Lin Chuan's arrival, at least there was no more entanglement with Yamcha. Not only could their daughter interact with other men, but over these past ten days, Bulma hadn't opened her mouth to talk about Yamcha this or Yamcha that.

Instead, she was wholeheartedly devoted to her research, and the name she mentioned most was Lin Chuan.

"Your intelligence and talent have truly exceeded my expectations. In just a few days, you not only succeeded in your research but also built a physical prototype."

"I just don't know how effective this Gravity Training Room you built is. Or rather, how many times Earth's gravity can it reach?" Lin Chuan asked.

Hearing the praise, Bulma's tsundere expression became even more pronounced, but since Lin Chuan had asked the most crucial question, her expression quickly turned serious.

After all, business was business, and she immediately began to explain: "For now, we have only made some small breakthroughs in gravity research. Materials are limited, so this Gravity Training Room Version 0 needs you to test it to determine how many times Earth's gravity it can reach."

As the voice faded, Lin Chuan roughly understood what Bulma meant.

It was just a test subject, after all; the multiplier it could reach likely wouldn't be very high.

"I see, so that's why you called me over to assist at this time! In that case, I'll go in and test it myself." Lin Chuan nodded and walked toward the door of the Gravity Training Room without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Chuan act so directly, Bulma and Dr. Brief didn't dawdle.

After a brief introduction and explanation, Lin Chuan had a general idea of the internal structure and operating methods.

Following that, the door to the Gravity Training Room was shut.

"Lin Chuan, you must remember, if any accident occurs, you have to tell me immediately. I will cut off the power supply from the outside right away."

"Also, because the interior space is completely isolated from the outside, there is still an issue with oxygen supply. You might experience difficulty breathing..."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot, you gained the ability to survive in any harsh environment from your last wish, especially the ability to survive in the vacuum of space. Although I don't know exactly how powerful this ability is, if you can survive in outer space, then a mere oxygen-free environment shouldn't be much of a problem for you in the short term."

As Bulma's voice echoed through the cramped space, Lin Chuan looked up at the speaker in the corner.

"Don't worry. Although the ability granted by Shenron isn't exactly heaven-defying and can only allow me to survive in environments that aren't too extreme, Shenron did indeed manage to let me survive in space. So, the lack of oxygen won't affect me," Lin Chuan replied.

With that said, he strode over to the central console.

Without a word, he pressed the power button.

"Hummm...!!!"

As the gravity activated, even at the starting level of 2x Earth's gravity, the once bright white space began to dim.

When the pressure becomes too strong and gravity multiplies, the environment naturally changes from what it was before.

Lin Chuan could clearly feel his body becoming much heavier. Not only that, but the pressure his body was enduring had increased several times over.

"I'm starting to increase the gravity now. Make sure you record it, Bulma." Glancing at the camera, Lin Chuan pressed the gravity increase button with his hand.

Each press increased the gravity by one fold.

From two times to five times, from five times to ten times, and then beyond ten times...

I have to say, even though over twenty years had passed, Lin Chuan still remembered the feeling of Planet Vegeta's 10x gravity level from back then.

Later, on Planet V3114, the gravity was significantly lower, which was why he had been able to adapt so quickly.

However, although Planet V3114 didn't compare to Planet Vegeta, its gravity was still about two or three times that of Earth.

As expected, for me, ten or twenty times gravity doesn't have much of an effect. There was indeed pressure, but this pressure was quickly absorbed, and then he felt nothing at all.

Of course, training in such a high-pressure environment for a long period would yield better results than training under Earth's gravity.

This level of gravity really wouldn't provide much of a boost for Lin Chuan.

After all, with his strength sitting where it was—a battle power of nearly one million—Lin Chuan was confident he could adapt to a hundred-fold gravity environment in no time.

At the very least, it would take a hundred times the gravity for him to see any rapid improvement in his strength during daily training.

He remembered information from the original story: after recovering from his severe injuries in the battle against Vegeta, Son Goku's battle power should have increased to twenty or thirty thousand.

On his way to Planet Namek, he used gravity to push his body to become stronger, then used Senzu Beans to heal himself and repeated the process, effectively exploiting the Saiyan bug where one gains a massive increase in strength after recovering from near-fatal injuries.

In six days, not only did he adapt to a hundred times gravity, but his battle power also rose to 90,000.

In other words, once battle power reaches around 100,000, one can adapt to a hundred-fold gravity.

If 100,000 battle power is enough to manage that, then adapting to a hundred-fold gravity with a million battle power is naturally a trivial matter.

Furthermore, following the later plot where Vegeta, with several million in battle power, underwent training on Earth under 300 times gravity.

Lin Chuan remembered that situation vividly; it showed that a battle power of one million is at least enough to train under 200 to 300 times Earth's gravity, and the results would not be bad at all.
