Chapter 73: Three Hundred Times Gravity! A Spaceship Far Beyond its Time
The lab located on Capsule Corporation's Private Estate.
This large area belongs to Capsule Corporation.
The lab itself is vast, surrounded by a spacious square that fully encloses it.
Located in the center between the lab and the signal transmission tower is the original rocket and satellite launch pad of Capsule Corporation.
Now, Brief has converted it into a launch pad for the new spaceship.
Observing closely, you could see that the massive spaceship was far superior to Talot's previous medium-sized one, even outclassing large spaceships.
With a height of ten meters, equivalent to a three-story building, the ship was divided into two floors with a diameter nearing forty meters. To put it simply, this spaceship resembled a mobile fortress, fully equipped with everything one could imagine.
In the collaborative vision of Brief and Bulma, although the spaceship is merely a means of transportation for space travel, space travel is fundamentally different from traveling on Earth. There are no scenic views to enjoy, and the duration of the journey increases significantly with the distance to the destination.
To prevent boredom during space travel, they decided to incorporate various facilities for entertainment and relaxation.
The layout is straightforward: the second floor serves as a rest area, complete with ten comfortable rooms and various entertainment areas.
On the first floor, aside from the cockpit and equipment control center, the remaining space was dedicated to three Gravity Chambers.
This was at Talot's request—ideally, there could be at least two Gravity Chambers, each with a diameter of nearly ten meters to provide ample space for effective training.
There's one more thing worth mentioning. These three Gravity Chambers have been jointly upgraded by Brief and Bulma to now support a maximum gravity level of 300 times Earth's gravity.
Three hundred times!
Currently, Talot can barely withstand 100 times gravity, and adapting to it fully would take some time.
Even 100 times gravity is no small feat, so 300 times is something he wouldn't dare attempt yet.
In the anime, there was a scene where Yamcha, at a power level of several tens of thousands—right after the Frieza Saga—tried to train under 300 times gravity during a period when Vegeta was resting. As a result, he nearly lost his life attempting it.
Yamcha's strength at that time wasn't particularly impressive, but he was still far stronger than Talot currently is.
…
"Prepare yourselves; we're conducting our first test now."
"Our first destination is Mars, which is relatively nearby. Next up would be Venus and Mercury, followed by a close-up survey of the Sun to test the spaceship's heat-shielding capacity. Finally, we'll conduct a test of gravitational escape..."
"Once all these are done, we'll return to Earth."
With Brief's reminder, Talot, Salari, and Bulma took their seats and fastened their seatbelts.
As the spaceship's system activated, the ship slowly began to float.
The initial speed was slow, building momentum as all systems ran multiple self-checks.
In just a few seconds, the massive ship soared into the sky.
Within moments, it broke through Earth's atmosphere, reaching near-earth space.
The spaceship's speed had surpassed even that of the Frieza Force' spaceships.
Although the stability is not as good as Frieza Force' spaceships, this was only the first test. I believe that after finding the problems, Brief will be able to solve these small issues very quickly.
A short-distance space travel.
From Earth to Mars, then from Mars to Jupiter…
Jupiter?
That's right!
Bulma wanted to see what Jupiter looked like, so she added it as the last-minute destination, which also served as a test to see if the spaceship's system could handle sudden changes in destination without issues.
As it turned out, there were no problems at all—the intelligent system was even more impressive than the one on Talot's old spaceship.
From Jupiter, they traveled to Venus, then Mercury, and finally stopped at a spot relatively close to the Sun to test the ship's heat resistance and its ability to withstand different levels of gravity.
With the tests complete, Brief gathered all the data he needed, and then everyone returned to Earth, landing smoothly.
In short, this spaceship was a groundbreaking creation, representing a level of technology far beyond its time.
While some aspects might be a bit of a stretch, Brief and Bulma have already started discussing solutions.
As long as Talot cooperates with them for two more space travels to conduct various tests, the issues can be resolved.
…
Time passed.
Another half month passed.
In total, it has been more than a month, and the spaceship was finally perfected.
Talot and Salari had also already made all the preparations to journey to Planet Namek.
As for locating Planet Namek's coordinates, they were available on Talot's Frieza Force spaceship system's star map, which conveniently filled in the gaps in Earthlings' universe knowledge.
"Based on our calculations, it should take no more than a week for you to reach Planet Namek."
"There's not much else to say; the spaceship has real-time communication function, and I've already modified and enhanced your scouters. We can keep in touch at any time, which will allow us to know that you are safe."
Brief spoke up.
His words touched Talot and Salari, and they both nodded.
After all, they had lived here for so long, it was impossible not to have feelings for the place.
"Why can't I go?" Bulma asked, a bit annoyed.
She had thought that since her sister had gone on a space trip, and she had helped build the new spaceship this time, they could go together.
But in the end, it was just like when she made the Dragon Radar, and she wasn't taken along to find the Dragon Balls.
"Bulma, be a good girl and stay here at home. Brother Talot and Salari are going out to handle some business, and it would be inconvenient to bring you along." Gine said to comfort her.
To Gine, how could she not come to see off the two children who had grown up by her side and were leaving for a while?
"Prioritize your safety above all else. If there's really no other option, hurry back to Earth. I don't want you to take any risks."
After saying goodbye, Gine gave them each a hug.
At this moment of parting, thoughts abound; everyone has so much to say, but in the end, it all condensed into one heartfelt expression of care.
Boarding the spaceship, Talot and Salari entered the cockpit and started the system.
For Talot, it was a deeply emotional moment.
In the past, while on Planet Vegeta, he was always thinking about how to leave Planet Vegeta and come to Earth.
But after arriving on Earth, he was focused on how to quickly enhance his strength so that he could travel to Planet Namek as soon as possible.
TN: Hey guys, release rate will be slow for a while.
