Headquarters and Facilities

Main Building and Residential Estate

• Exterior: A massive domed building with a pristine white shell, described as a symbol of Earth's technology and Bulma's family 42.
• Entrances: Large alloy gates, curved doorways, and soundless automatic doors connect the estate's buildings and grounds 43 65 89.
• Residence: A futuristic house with numerous guest rooms. Bulma offers Qi Heng accommodation despite Vegeta's objections 51.
• Living room: A spacious, high-tech interior with leather sofas, expensive furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the private garden 56 58 66.
• Outdoor grounds: A courtyard, lawns, flowerbeds, ornamental trees, training equipment, and a second-floor terrace 53 59 66 87.
• Garden path: A pebble-paved route with sensor lights leads to a courtyard fountain featuring a marble statue 112.

Laboratories and Command Facilities

• Bulma's private laboratory: Contains complex machinery, energy reactors, control panels, floating three-dimensional blueprints, large data screens, and robotic arms 50.
• Underground laboratory: Houses the developing time machine, surrounded by cables, control consoles, and holographic projections 84.
• Command room: Uses dozens of surveillance screens and a communications channel to monitor battles 109.
• Crisis-planning equipment: Includes satellite footage displays, holographic maps, energy detectors, an analysis table, and a large alloy conference table 111 112 113.

Technology and Research

Time Machine

Bulma agrees to build a time machine for Qi Heng after learning that a temporal rift stranded him in another timeline. She has studied Trunks's machine, but emphasizes that constructing one independently requires complex temporal theory, suitable materials, and a workable energy core 51.

Development Milestone	Chapter	Details
Project accepted	51	Bulma agrees to construct the machine using her knowledge of the theories and data from Trunks's model.
Eighty percent complete	84	The main framework is assembled; the core spacetime coordinate system and protective-shell materials are resolved. Bulma estimates three more weeks if testing proceeds smoothly.
Energy replenished	110	After Qi Heng defeats Super 17, Bulma confirms that the machine's energy has been replenished.

• Initial purpose: Provide Qi Heng with a means of leaving the timeline after his involuntary arrival 51.
• Later destination: Qi Heng tells Bulma that he intends to travel to a more distant future 84.
• Bulma's commitment: She continues working after accepting his decision and promises to send him where he wants to go 85.

Energy Measurement and Surveillance

• Bulma's analyzer cannot capture Qi Heng's peak energy: his readings exceed its measurement limit and cause an overloaded whine 51.
• Laboratory monitors register an off-scale spike during Qi Heng's confrontation with Super 17. Bulma distinguishes its fluctuation pattern from ordinary ki, describing its structure as more precise or “high-dimensional” 110.
• Command-room surveillance captures Qi Heng deflecting Super 17's enormous energy sphere with one finger 109.
• Satellite imagery and scientific data allow Bulma to assess casualties, ecological damage, atmospheric problems, radiation, and geological instability after the fighting 111.

Dragon Ball Tracking and Analysis

• Bulma distributes Dragon Ball Radars with locked signals and instructs the search parties to maintain contact 112.
• The laboratory's analysis equipment detects sharply increasing negative energy in the recovered, cracked Dragon Balls 112.
• After the Shadow Dragons emerge, Bulma tracks seven crimson signals moving across the world and identifies their locations 114.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Qi Heng's Arrival

Qi Heng approaches Capsule Corporation while searching for Son Goku. Bulla supplies information about Goku's eight-month journey into space, while Vegeta treats the unfamiliar Saiyan as a threat and confronts him at the entrance 42 43 47.

Their clash damages the surrounding ground and outer walls. After Vegeta refuses to let Qi Heng stay, Qi Heng teleports directly to Bulma's laboratory. Bulma accepts his time-machine request and invites him to live at the estate 44 47 50 51.

Baby's Invasion

Capsule Corporation becomes a target of Baby's invasion: controlled crowds advance toward its headquarters, and Baby seeks to exploit Bulma's intelligence and Capsule technology for universal conquest 52 56.

Possessing Vegeta and accompanied by controlled Gohan and Goten, Baby confronts Qi Heng at the residence. Bulma and Bulla remain inside the laboratory while Baby demands both Bulma's expertise and Qi Heng's body 57 58.

Qi Heng punches Baby through the front yard and into a reinforced outer wall, tearing apart ornamental trees and gouging the lawn. By the time Baby withdraws, the courtyard is ruined and its eastern wall has collapsed 59 61.

Goku, Trunks, and Pan subsequently land their spaceship on a relatively intact patch of ground before the headquarters. Qi Heng meets them at the main entrance and informs them of Baby's control over Earth's inhabitants 62 63.

Vegeta's Challenge and the Super 17 Crisis

After obtaining Super Saiyan 4, Vegeta challenges Qi Heng at Capsule Corporation. His power-up cracks the white walls and shatters windows; Qi Heng's counterattack sends him through an alloy wall 89 90 91.

During the invasion from Hell, the estate serves as a gathering point for Earth's fighters and an observation point for Qi Heng. Bulma monitors the eventual defeat of Super 17 from the command room, and Qi Heng returns to the courtyard afterward to check the time machine's energy supply 95 101 109 110.

Dragon Ball and Shadow Dragon Crisis

The defenders assemble in Bulma's laboratory to review Earth's devastation. Bulma warns that repeated Dragon Ball use has accumulated dangerous negative energy, but the group decides to prioritize restoring Earth and saving its people 111 112.

The recovered Dragon Balls are examined on the laboratory's analysis table, revealing dense cracks and abnormal energy. Following the Shadow Dragons' emergence, the underground laboratory becomes the planning center for locating them. Qi Heng leaves to pursue the dragons himself, expressing particular interest in Omega Shenron 112 113 114 115.
