50x Gravity: This Was Only the Beginning

"Over twenty times... can it keep going up? All the data looks normal, and the equipment is running fine..."

"Strange. According to my original calculations, this Gravity Training Room Version 0 should only be able to produce about twenty times Earth's gravity at most."

Staring at the monitoring screen, where Lin Chuan had already raised the gravity to twenty-five times Earth's, and was still increasing it by one every ten seconds, Bulma furrowed her brow.

"Judging by the current situation, we underestimated the equipment's limits. The processor, operating load, and power output are all only at around sixty-five percent capacity. And based on the amount of reserve energy, the gravity can go even higher." Dr. Brief's tablet displayed all the data from the Gravity Device.

From his experience, he was certain the gravity limit wasn't twenty times, or even thirty. It could very well reach forty times.

"I hope nothing goes wrong," Bulma said.

They had all underestimated this Version 0 Gravity Training Room, cobbled together from simple materials.

Only after the gravity passed thirty times did the fervor in their eyes become even more apparent.

Dr. Brief, especially, kept thinking, using the available data to make bold conjectures.

Beside him, after her initial excitement, Bulma began to worry about Lin Chuan.

After all, the pressure from gravity was completely different from the pressure of carrying weights. No matter how unimaginable the weight a martial artist trained with, it was still just a load—the weight of something pressing down from the outside.

Gravity was different. It acted directly on the body from every direction, and every cell in the body had to endure the pressure.

Lin Chuan weighed eighty-five kilograms. Under thirty times Earth's gravity, his body would feel as though it weighed over 2,550 kilograms.

And that was only the pressure on the outside. The pressure within was even more terrifying.

Even if his muscles and bones could withstand it, what about his organs and meridians?

Of course, Bulma had no way of knowing that once someone's strength reached a certain level, their body would continue to transform and grow stronger.

Their internal organs would also be strengthened by the energy's purification, just like the rest of their body.

"He really... isn't reacting at all? The gravity's passed thirty times, and he can still raise it?" Bulma had been about to stop Lin Chuan from continuing, but when she saw how calm he looked on the monitor, the corner of her mouth twitched.

She really had been worrying for nothing.

His strength had once again exceeded her imagination.

"It's only in the thirties. It can't affect me at all."

"There are some things I might not have told you, so you wouldn't know."

"To put it simply, with my current strength, I can adapt to a hundred times Earth's gravity for a short time without any problem!"

"Only several hundred times gravity would make me take it seriously."

To be honest, although he was exaggerating a little and was overly confident, Lin Chuan really could do it.

"You Saiyans are all freaks..." Bulma rolled her eyes and grumbled.

What kind of thing was that to say?

He could adapt to a hundred times gravity with ease, and only several hundred times would make him take it seriously...

Even a few times Earth's gravity would leave an ordinary person unable to move after a brief ten seconds, and their body's functions would quickly break down.

If she went in, she could manage at most two or three times Earth's gravity before quickly feeling uncomfortable.

Time passed, second by second.

When Lin Chuan turned the gravity up to fifty times, the Gravity Training Room finally showed signs of trouble.

After holding steady for just over ten seconds, an alarm sounded, and the gravity began to drop rapidly, eventually returning to Earth's normal gravity.

Its limit was fifty times!

It couldn't go any higher than that, and it could only hold for a very short time. Clearly, it had been pushed beyond its capacity.

It could maintain forty-nine times for a little while, but once it reached a certain limit, the circuits and equipment would burn out from running over capacity and shut down.

Of course, even if it had broken down, the Gravity Training Room still counted as a success.

After all, Earthlings had developed it themselves, using their own scientific expertise.

With a fifty-times-gravity training room, could a hundred-times one really be far off?

Even a thousand times was only a matter of time!

Though he had only experienced gravity's effects for a short while, Lin Chuan already understood the benefits gravity training could bring him.

It was true that even training under fifty times Earth's gravity only gave him a slight sense of heaviness.

But if they could raise the multiplier further and reach a hundred times, it would at least be the best training method available to him right now.

"That's all for today. The various materials I ordered will start arriving tomorrow. I'm sure it won't take more than a few days to build a Gravity Training Room that can maintain a hundred times Earth's gravity for an extended period," Bulma said after they finished a day of research and saved all the data.

"If possible, you should expand the interior space. It's too small to move around in. We also need to figure out the oxygen supply inside. If we don't solve that, I'll be the only one who can use the Gravity Training Room," Lin Chuan suggested.

Version 0 was too small. Its interior was only five meters long and wide, and less than two or three meters tall.

There were plenty of other minor problems, too.

But Lin Chuan was confident Bulma could solve them.

Bulma nodded and began thinking rapidly.

Beside her, Dr. Brief suddenly had an idea. "We could apply the interior design of a spaceship to the Gravity Training Room... Or better yet, why don't we simply build a large spaceship with adjustable gravity inside? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Bulma's face lit up with delight, and even Lin Chuan was stirred.

Dr. Brief really was brilliant.

In the Original Work, Son Goku had asked for a gravity-control device to be installed on his spaceship.

Now, without Son Goku to remind him, Dr. Brief had thought of it himself.

"Dad, you really are a genius! Starting tomorrow, we'll build the spaceship and figure out how to install the Gravity Device on it at the same time."

"We already have clear blueprints for the spaceship's exterior and interior. You can handle putting together the body and finishing the interior."

"The main engine, thrusters, Gravity Device, and oxygen-generation equipment—I can handle those myself..."

Bulma's instructions were clear and concise.

The father and daughter reached an agreement and walked out of the research institute, talking about things only they could understand.

Lin Chuan became invisible at that point, because he really didn't understand any of it.

Back at his Capsule House, Lin Chuan was lost in thought, wondering if he could head to Planet Namek once the spaceship was finished. Then, all of a sudden, a strange sensation in his body left him stunned.
