Chapter 30: Is Son Gohan going on a space trip?
"We can lend you the combat capability detector, but we don't know if you can read the words on it."
Seeing Bulma's reaction, Lin Chuan knew that his bait had worked, and he added a sentence.
It is a combat power detector used exclusively by Frieza's army, and the text and numbers on it are different from those on Earth.
Lin Chuan could understand it; it was entirely from the Saiyans' inherited memories that contained this kind of cultural information.
Although we've never seen Earth's written language, the original work mentions it, so strictly speaking, Raditz's probe in the original work would just be a bunch of gibberish to Earthlings.
Later, Bulma modified the detector to input the text and numerical information, making it readable.
"What? If it's just a small problem, leave it to me. As long as it's not too complicated equipment, give me some time, and I can modify the language module using our Earth methods." Bulma's words were so light and decisive.
This shows how confident she is in herself.
"Are you sure?" Lin Chuan asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"What, are you questioning my abilities? I am the number one genius beauty on Earth!" Bulma, who has always been competitive, will not allow herself to be doubted in her own field.
Therefore, she immediately decided in her heart that she had to do this, otherwise she would be looked down upon.
"Hmm~! So what you said before about building a spaceship was true? If that's the case, then that's perfect. Come with me and help me repair the damage to the spaceship." Lin Chuan said, following Bulma's lead.
Repairing the spaceship?
When the topic shifted to this, Bulma was slightly taken aback, and then the others followed suit.
If there hadn't been this invasion, and there hadn't been the Saiyan invasion a year later, helping our alien friends repair their spaceship wouldn't have been a big deal.
But these are extraordinary times.
"I'd be happy to help, but I can only give you a definite answer on whether I can fix it or not after I see the spaceship..." Bulma didn't fully agree, and continued, "By the way, you're not thinking of using me to fix the spaceship, make a wish, and then just run away, are you?"
I must say, that's a really clever idea.
She is indeed very intelligent to have thought of this.
"Don't worry, although I've only just arrived on Earth, I don't dislike this planet, so I'll be staying here for the foreseeable future. Repairing the spaceship is just to make it easier for me to travel through space in the future. After all, I can't stay on Earth forever; I have my own things to do."
"By the way, I have a suggestion. Since you're such a genius, if you could create an even better multi-person spaceship, I could take you on a space voyage."
"With a technician like you by my side, I won't have to worry about who will fix the spaceship if it breaks down in the future."
Lin Chuan responded to Bulma's questions.
And he hinted at it in an unconventional way, so that he could subtly get Bulma to make things for him in the future.
"Space travel? Now that I think about it, if my sister and I had made the same choice back then, maybe things would have turned out differently..." Bulma paused, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She remembered when she was little, her older sister Tais ran away from home and left Earth with a galactic patrolman named Jacques for a space trip.
I remember the last time we contacted each other was a long, long time ago.
Now that she has grown up, she never imagined that one day she would have the opportunity to travel through space again.
"Um... if we go on a space trip... I... could I go too..." Suddenly, a timid and delicate voice rang out in the tense atmosphere.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and who else could it be but Son Gohan speaking?
This tiny creature dares to travel to space.
If you say he's timid, then yes, he is.
But if you call him bold, he really is bold, not afraid that he might not be able to come back.
"Gohan, you're too young. This idea is dangerous," Krillin said, seemingly worried that Goku's child would be led astray.
There was also a hint of education in his words.
Conservative and stubborn.
Having never experienced space travel, they are quite old-fashioned in this regard.
Thinking back to the original story, it was he who boarded the spaceship to Namek, which opened up his worldview.
Beside him, Master Roshi remained silent as he watched Gohan, his eyes behind his sunglasses carrying a hint of something intriguing.
With his shrewd insight, he was certain that Wukong's disciple's son, with proper guidance, would have limitless potential for future achievements.
"Don't scare children if you're scared yourself!" Bulma stepped forward to interrupt Krillin's intimidation-style education, and immediately said, "What's wrong with wanting to travel to space? It's just leaving Earth, right? It's a good thing that Gohan has this idea; it shows that he wants to see a wider world."
"Also, our little Gohan's future goal is to become a scholar, so don't limit his thinking."
As Bulma finished speaking, her eyes were full of praise as she looked at Gohan.
This four-year-old child is much braver and more mature than she was at that age.
Although she is a girl...
Krillin was thoroughly embarrassed after being scolded by Bulma.
Gohan then spoke up again: "Aunt Bulma, I'm thinking that if we had a spaceship, I'd like to go to outer space to see what Earth is like, and also see Jupiter, Mars, the Sun... and many other planets..."
That innocent voice was full of mysterious anticipation for the stars and the sea, without a trace of fear.
It is clear that people in the new era and people in the old era are fundamentally different.
"If your Aunt Bulma can really build a multi-person spaceship, then your wish might not be impossible to fulfill," Lin Chuan interjected at this moment.
This kid was a godsend, unwittingly helping him execute a perfect combo.
This also means that Bulma remembered everything without Lin Chuan saying anything.
Given Bulma's mindset, she should have already realized that if Earth doesn't have spaceships and Earthlings can't venture into space, then they will always lag behind aliens.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin Chuan." Son Gohan bowed politely in gratitude.
His actions made Lin Chuan feel somewhat embarrassed.
This kid is indeed incredibly kind and naive.
"Well then, without further ado, thank you for your trouble, Lord Lin Chuan."
"As a god of Earth, I sincerely thank you for helping us," said the god Piccolo.
This could be considered a form of urging.
He's in a very chaotic and anxious state right now.
Therefore, even if Goku's son, Gohan, had such a bold idea, he chose to ignore it.
After all, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
He had no idea that what he was ignoring would become the strongest single individual in the future.
"I've already said, I'm only doing this for myself." Lin Chuan didn't take Piccolo's overtures seriously.
