"Good morning, Uncle!"
At 7:30 the next morning, after dropping Bulma off at school, Zhou Zilong arrived at Capsule Corporation and greeted Dr. Brief, Bulma's father, with a smile.
"Oh, Zilong, what brings you here so early?" Dr. Brief looked up, and upon seeing it was Zhou Zilong, he set aside the work he was holding.
"Uncle, I would like to ask for your guidance on some scientific matters," Zhou Zilong said respectfully. "Although I am a martial artist, I hope to learn some scientific knowledge so that I can better handle various challenges in the future!"
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Dr. Brief's eyes upon hearing this. He nodded and said, "Very good, Zilong. Science is indeed a powerful force; it allows us to see a much broader world. Since you have this ambition, I will recommend a few foundational research books for you!"
With that, Dr. Brief took several thick books from the shelf and handed them to Zhou Zilong. "These books cover the basic theories, experimental methods, and application techniques of science. I believe they will be of help to you!"
Zhou Zilong accepted the books, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that for him, these books were undoubtedly a precious treasure.
Utilizing his God-tier Super Brain, Zhou Zilong quickly mastered the knowledge within the books and integrated it all. He discovered that science and martial arts actually shared many commonalities, such as the understanding and application of energy, as well as the training and modification of the body.
In the days that followed, Zhou Zilong spent a significant amount of time immersed in the laboratory. He conducted theoretical and practical experiments alongside Dr. Brief, leaving the doctor greatly impressed.
"Zilong, you are one of the most scientifically gifted people I have ever met," Dr. Brief said, looking at Zhou Zilong with eyes full of admiration.
Zhou Zilong smiled modestly: "You flatter me, Uncle. I am simply interested in science!"
However, Zhou Zilong did not become complacent because of this. He understood that the power of science was infinite and that he still had a long road ahead.
"Uncle, do you have any scientific books related to gravity?" A month after moving into Bulma's home, one morning after dropping her off at school, Zhou Zilong came to the laboratory to ask Dr. Brief, as he wanted to try building a gravity chamber for his own training.
Dr. Brief stopped his work and looked up at Zhou Zilong. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes as he smiled and nodded. "Zilong, your thirst for knowledge is truly vigorous. I do have a few books on gravity here, but I must warn you: the power of science is immense. It can be used to benefit humanity, but it can also bring disaster. You must remember to use science in the right places."
Zhou Zilong nodded earnestly to show he understood. He took the books from Dr. Brief, returned to his room, and began to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge.
Opening the first book, Zhou Zilong was immediately drawn in by its profound theories. Using his God-tier Super Brain, he quickly synthesized the information. As time passed, his understanding of gravity grew deeper, and his mind gradually cleared, preparing him to build his training chamber.
Guided by theoretical knowledge, Zhou Zilong began to construct his own gravity training room. He utilized various equipment and materials from the laboratory, constantly experimenting and adjusting. During the day, he was immersed in design and testing; at night, he used his superpowers to run simulations. Although he encountered many difficulties, he never gave up.
Bulma and Dr. Brief were also moved by Zhou Zilong's determination and perseverance. They offered him advice and help from time to time; Bulma provided innovative ideas using her own scientific knowledge, while Dr. Brief used his wealth of experience to help Zhou Zilong solve many technical hurdles.
After a month of hard work, Zhou Zilong finally succeeded in building his gravity training room. This chamber was capable of simulating gravity environments ranging from one to one hundred times normal gravity.
"It's a good thing I only set it to three times gravity; any more than that and I wouldn't be able to handle it right now." Standing in the center of the training room, Zhou Zilong was drenched in sweat, his training suit soaked through. He adjusted the gravity settings in the room and felt the immense pressure bearing down on him like a mountain, making even breathing difficult.
However, Zhou Zilong did not retreat. He gritted his teeth, his gaze firm and sharp, as if he could pierce through the layers of gravitational restraint. He swung his fists, each strike carrying the force of a thunderbolt, as if he intended to tear the gravity chamber apart.
His footsteps were steady and powerful, leaving deep marks on the floor with every movement. Under the oppression of gravity, his figure appeared increasingly imposing, as if he had become the very pillar of the training room.
Zhou Zilong knew that he was still a long way from his goal. He wanted more than just to be the strongest on Earth; he wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the universe and compete with those legendary warriors. To reach that goal, he had to constantly challenge his limits and break through his boundaries.
He imagined himself possessing the immense power and endless fighting spirit of the protagonist, Goku.
Yet, he also understood that this path would not be easy. For now, he needed to put in more effort and sweat than anyone else to go further on this road.
Zhou Zilong took a deep breath and threw another punch. He felt his muscles trembling under the pressure of the gravity, but he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted, challenging his limits again and again.
Time flowed slowly within the training room. Zhou Zilong had forgotten the passage of time; there was only one belief in his heart: become stronger!
"Brother Zilong, it's time to eat! Come have dinner." Just as Zhou Zilong continued his selfless training, Bulma's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing Bulma's voice, Zhou Zilong realized he had been inside for a long time. He felt somewhat exhausted, but his heart was filled with satisfaction and joy. He knew he had made significant progress, which gave him full confidence in the future.
"Alright, you guys go ahead and eat. I'll come after I take a shower," Zhou Zilong replied. He turned off the gravity chamber's switch and walked into the adjacent bathroom. The hot water washed over his body, carrying away his fatigue and grime. He felt a sense of relief and comfort, as if all his worries had been washed away.
After dinner, Zhou Zilong returned to his room. He lay on his bed, reflecting on the day's training. He felt he had made great progress, but he also knew he still had a long way to go. He closed his eyes, preparing to get some good rest to be ready for tomorrow's training.
