When Raditz and Nappa returned to Bulma's house, everyone had already been waiting for a while. Vegeta was already impatient to try it out, just waiting for Raditz to show up.

There were two gravity training rooms completed. One was specially built at Bulma's house; after all, her house was vast, and an extra gravity training room was no big deal. The other was actually a gravity device installed on the new spaceship, the "HOPE." It was modified from Turles's spaceship debris and Saiyan single-man ships, suitable for long-distance space travel with multiple people.

At first, Vegeta was disdainful when he saw the hemispherical building that looked like an ordinary house. But Raditz kept talking about how useful this thing was, making him a bit expectant even if he didn't believe it.

"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go inside." Raditz was the first to approach the gravity room.

The others followed closely.

Walking inside, they saw walls that emitted a silvery metallic sheen. In the center, a central control system served as a pillar supporting the ceiling, equipped with various precision adjustment modules. Other than that, it was a high-strength floor. The empty interior had no decorations or equipment, completely cleared out for practitioners, with only four transparent glass panels around.

The space was large enough to accommodate everyone. It also had independent changing rooms, bathrooms, and lounges on the side. Through the control panel's module buttons, humidity, temperature, the content of various components in the air, and so on could be adjusted. Additionally, there were small flying attack robots.

These were all improvement proposals Raditz had put forward based on his own ideas, making them much more complete than ordinary gravity rooms. Although, in the rush, the gravity device could only perform at 200 times the normal gravity, it was already sufficient for them at this moment.

"This place is the excellent training ground you mentioned?" Vegeta looked around, his expression not very pleasant.

Compared to the technology on Planet Vegeta, Earth's technology was truly garbage, only managing to create something like this? Vegeta felt like he had been tricked.

"That's right, it's this place."

"Are you kidding me? This place isn't even as suitable as the deep mountains!"

"Don't rush, do you think the devices here are just for show?" Raditz smiled and strode to the central control console. "We are currently in an environment with Earth's gravity, which is the standard 1 G. Next, let's try 10 G, which is the environment of Planet Vegeta."

As he spoke, Raditz pressed the input, entering the number 10. The screen flickered twice before stabilizing. Suddenly, there was a slight vibration of the floor, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound in their ears, startling everyone. In the next second, the colors in the room changed drastically, the light dimmed, and a dark red filled the entire space!

In the red light, the gravity quietly increased to ten times!

They, who had been living on Earth for a long time, suddenly felt like they were back on King Kai's Planet, as if a force was pulling their limbs, dragging them down.

"This is truly amazing, it really works!" Goku shouted. "Actually, I also thought about getting a device like this. It's fantastic!"

"As long as you're in the room, you can achieve the training effect of King Kai's Planet. That's really not bad."

"Hmph." Vegeta snorted coldly.

His proud little look seemed to say, "It's nothing special."

"Next, let's try 15 G." Raditz changed the number again, pressing the confirm button. After a brief reaction, the vibration and the "buzzing" sound came together, and the gravity suddenly increased.

At the same time, the intelligent device automatically adjusted data such as air pressure and humidity to create the most suitable environment.

"15 G... this is a bit challenging..." Krillin grinned wryly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and trickling down.

Yamcha was in even worse condition, his face contorted, barely able to hold on.

They hadn't trained for days and had become too accustomed to relaxation. Caught off guard by the sudden pressure of 15 G, the feeling was imaginable.

For Saiyans, 15 G was still quite easy. Vegeta even showed a look of doubt: "Can this really improve combat power?"

He crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and was extremely skeptical.

Raditz's expression provoked a rebellious streak in him. You doubt it? I'll let you experience higher multiples directly!

"You all go out for a moment. Just leave me and Vegeta. Let me introduce it to him personally," Raditz said with a faint smile, but his tone carried an irrefutable authority.

Goku nodded and walked out first, followed by Gohan and Piccolo.

Thus, everyone walked out. However, reluctant to leave, they pressed their faces against the gravity room's glass to watch. The two stood straight as spears, and anyone who didn't know the situation would think they were about to fight.

Under 15 G, both were relaxed. Raditz, facing Vegeta, quietly reached for the control panel and entered 50.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Suddenly, the gravity rapidly increased. Raditz thought, How about this?

But then he was stunned. Wait, I'm in the gravity room too, aren't I...? He realized it just then, but it was too late. It was as if a hill had descended from the sky, crushing him. His bones creaked, and his legs began to tremble slightly.

Vegeta wasn't faring any better. His crossed arms were immediately unclasped, his posture stooped, and he gritted his teeth to endure.

"How is it?" Raditz asked deliberately.

"Hmph, it's stronger than before... by a little... it's nothing..."

"Then let's see who can..." As Raditz spoke, he waved his hand and pressed the ascent button next to the input. This was a touch sensor, allowing gravity to increase gradually without needing numbers.

Under 50 G, the sensor was incredibly sensitive, and the gravity multiplier immediately soared!

Both widened their eyes, their faces turning ashen. They held their breath, refusing to yield. At this point, admitting defeat would mean losing face, a thought both Raditz and Vegeta shared. They stubbornly resisted the increasing gravity, their faces turning red and their eyes bloodshot.

"If you can't take it, just say so, I..."

"I can hold on..."

"You..."

"You..."

By the end, neither had the strength to speak. Their bodies were fine, but their internal organs were about to burst under the soaring gravity. If it weren't for the Ki protecting them, they would have been ruined long ago.

The onlookers had no idea what was happening inside, only seeing the numbers on the display continuously rising, eliciting gasps of astonishment.

"As expected of Raditz, it's already 100 G."

"Vegeta is also very strong."

"Look at them, standing unmoving under such gravity. As Master Roshi would say, they are 'imposing and majestic,' tsk tsk tsk."

"Yeah, the gravity is at 150 G. Look, they, they... they've fallen! They've fallen!"

"Save them!" Krillin shouted.

"Goku, quickly cut the power!"
