Three hundred and thirty-seven in search of the new gods7
(It suddenly seems that this chapter should be called "Pinch a Spaceship with Mud")
Although Bulma looks very sure, going to the universe is not a trivial matter, so naturally you can't be hasty (not hasty?), so it's better to experiment first.
"Let's do a low-earth orbit test first, so that if something goes wrong, we can come back quickly. After success, we will conduct tests on the moon, and if we can stay on the moon for three days, we can basically confirm this spacecraft...... This capsule is reliable. β
Previously following Leping's title, it now seems that the role of this thing is closer to that of a space capsule, so Bulma corrected the title.
"So, let's start with low-earth orbit tests. As he spoke, Leping stepped onto the power module of the space capsule, which was simply a platform for launching turtle wave qigong.
Bulma and Trunks glanced at each other, put on their space suits, and stepped onto the capsule.
"Aren't you changing into a spacesuit?" Bulma asked a little strangely, looking at Leping who didn't care.
"If it's a low-Earth orbit test, I don't think I'll need it. "Leping looks like a stinky fart.
"Really? β
This hand-crafted capsule launch is different from a traditional rocket launch, the difference is that the rocket launch is vertically upwards - if this capsule does the same, then Leping will have to launch turtle wave qigong on Earth. Although the force can be controlled, once the force is not mastered, the earth is in danger.
So the launch of the capsule can only be diagonal β tangential to the point where it is located, to be exact. The air wave is aimed a little above the horizon, and the capsule will fly in the opposite direction, and neither side will touch the Earth.
Even though Leping controlled the force with great skill - Trunks asked himself if he could not control the force so "weak" and yet so stable - but for Bulma in the ship, the force still seemed a little too strong, so that she was pressed by the powerful acceleration on the decompression chair and could not move.
It must also be said that this is still Bulma's drug-addicted and strong body, and if he is an ordinary earthling, even if he does not die, he will already be in a coma.
With such strong acceleration, the capsule flew out of the atmosphere soon after, and Leping stopped launching - if it continues to be launched, the capsule will be farther and farther away from the Earth, and it will not be low-earth orbit.
"I have to say, you're really surprising to me. Bulma's voice came from the headset, and after the girl stabilized in the space capsule, she had already floated behind Leping, "Not only the human engine, but you can really survive in space without a spacesuit - are you really an earthling? Or a spy sent by some alien planet?"
"Don't call me like a non-human. Leping turned around and said with a smile, "It's nothing more than mastering the method of moving in a special environment - just like the first person who mastered the nature of water and was able to swim in the water, or the first person who mastered the art of dancing and was able to fly in the air, I believe that anyone will be able to do it in the future." β
"You ...... Can the shield really keep you safe in a vacuum? You know, you can actually be considered to be in the capsule's protection now. Looking at the glow around Leping's body that was so faint that it was almost impossible to see, Bulma was still a little puzzled - the glow couldn't say anything, and none of these guys could be measured by common sense.
"Hey, hey, I knew you were going to be suspicious. As he spoke, Leping took a small squirrel out of his pocket and handed it over, "Well, look at itβbe careful, don't let it get out of my protective shield." β
Bulma reached out and took the squirrel, the little creature was clearly not in good shape, curled up in a ball, motionless, and seemed unconscious - presumably affected by the accelerated flight before.
But there is no doubt that he is alive, and this is easy to verify: Bulma gently poked the squirrel's stomach with a finger. I couldn't feel the body temperature through the spacesuit, but Bulma's fingers could easily sink in, and if the squirrel was dead, it would have stiffened.
In fact, the mere fact of curling up in a ball is enough to show that the squirrel is still alive β what animal have you seen that doesn't stretch its legs when it dies?
"This little guy ......"
"Alive, I can feel its breath β though faintly. Trunks also floated out of the capsule, "It seems that Mr. Leping is right. β
Listening to her son's words, Bulma nodded, looked at the squirrel in her hand, thought for a while, pointed to the circle of glow and asked, "This...... Can it be expanded?"
"How?"
"I want to come in and have a look. β
There's a spirit on Trunksβbut it's not visible through the spacesuit. Even so, this small action can't hide from Leping, who has a sense of anger.
"It's okay...... Leping scratched his head, "but I didn't make any special preparations, this protective shield can only last for about an hour, and if you come in again, it will only last for half an hour." β
"I just came in and had a look, I didn't think I was going to stay in there forever," but Bulma was concerned about another question: "If you've made special preparations, how long can you last it?"
Leping weighed it and shook his head: "I haven't tried it, I don't know." I can still guess a little, it depends on the air quality inside the cover and the amount of divine power I have. And how harsh the vacuum environment really is. β
After a pause, he added, "I guess it won't take more than three hours at best." β
"Three hours......," Bulma mused.
"That's a lot, enough for me to run back and forth between the Earth and the Moon. β
Bulma nodded, and added, "Make this shield a little bigger, and I'll come in and have a look." β
Leping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that in the end, Bulma would still come in - didn't she notice her son's thoughts?
Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's what Bulma meant, and Trunks shouldn't blame himself.
So he expanded the scope of the shield to include Bulma - and then I remembered that it was not necessary, the scope of the shield was not small, and Bulma took two steps forward and came in, and there was no need to expand it at all.
Remove the helmet from the spacesuit (Note: It's definitely not that easy to put on and take off in spacesuits nowadays, but the technology in Dragon Ball ...... Don't take it seriously), Bulma took a deep breath, "It still feels good like this, what kind of spacesuit is this, it's really inconvenient to wear." β
She took off her helmet, and although she could talk to Leping more comfortably, but without the radio in the helmet, Trunks couldn't hear what she said, just to see the two talking lively.
So Trunks immediately became nervous - could it be that all this was designed by her mother? Could it be that she and her ex-boyfriend had a relapse of old love?
