Dragon Ball: What It's Like to Be a Kakarot

Chapter 174
He refused to change his body, not only because Wukong was his childhood, but more because it felt strange and a little disgusting.

Gro's projection appeared in front of Kakarot.

"Dr. Gero, I have found a suitable star port in the universe, but the current problem is our energy source."

Kakarot can throw the built satellite out of the earth in the air and let it run on its own, but traveling across the universe is a very dangerous job, and Kakarot's travel to and from the earth and the moon is already the limit.

Not to mention going elsewhere.

"We already have nuclear energy, but it's not enough, we need more powerful energy."

Kakarot wants to invite Dr. Gero to develop nuclear fusion with him.

It's impossible to do it on his own.

"I have my own research on the issue of energy. What we lack is time."

Gro said.

"I know the life energy you are studying, that kind of thing is called Qi by martial artists,

Everyone has a limited amount of qi in their body. Even if they work hard to become a strong person like me, the amount of qi is still not enough to cross the universe.
It is better to study fusion reaction first to solve the current energy problem. "

"No hurry, take your time."

Gro laughed and drank a glass of juice, but he didn't want to study nuclear fusion.

"Compared to energy projects like nuclear fusion, life energy is what I need most right now."

"My king..."

"Call me Emperor." Kakarot corrected.

"Okay, Emperor," Gero said.

"You are still very young now, only about 16 years old, but I have gradually aged, and this aging body has made my thinking rotten, and the speed of thinking is getting slower and slower.

It is still too early for human beings to step into the interstellar era. We know nothing about extraterrestrials. Light has solved the problem of energy, but also the problem of force. Before that, I must first find a way to solve the problem of my lifespan. "

Gro said grimly.

"If I don't solve the problem of longevity, I will die before I see the start of the interstellar era. For this, I must transform my body and prolong my lifespan. At the very least, I can live to see you, the great emperor, and fulfill the promise of resurrecting my son. !"

Kakarot was lost in thought.

He didn't have enough reason to convince Dr. Gero to complete the nuclear fusion experiment with him first.

Using the power of Dragon Ball can certainly solve the problem of Dr. Gero's lifespan.

But it is impossible for Kakarot to give the precious Dragon Ball wish to Dr. Gero.

Dragon Ball can only make a wish once a year, and his wishes are all filled. Even the wishes of his parents and Bulma have to stand aside, let alone an outsider.

"My emperor, why don't we put aside the matter of nuclear fusion first. The magical effect of life energy has surpassed the so-called nuclear fusion. Aren't you the beneficiary of it? Life energy is what we should study the most. Research Knowing it, we can also get a huge amount of energy."

"Okay, let's tackle the longevity issue first."

Kakarot thought for a moment, there is no rush now, there are still several years of peace.

Why don't you study with Gero first to see if you can absorb the scientific knowledge from him...

Kakarot held on to his impatience in wanting to deal with the matter in one go.

After all, this reality is not about playing games. You can know when you can research well by clicking a scientific research unit.

Gro is also very pleased with the addition of Kakarot. For him, Kakarot is also a good experimental product. This guy has the most powerful life energy on the entire planet.

So a mad scientist with a lot of talent teamed up with an ordinary scholar who probably only had a graduate degree.

"How much do you know about life energy?"

asked Dr. Gero.

"Qi, that is, life energy, this kind of power is hidden in all things.

This energy can collide with the material world to produce extremely powerful energy, and can also be transformed into conventional energy in the material world, such as electricity, light, heat, etc.

Once the qi is exhausted, people will die naturally. Generally, the body is weak and unable to sense, and to use qi, the prerequisite for using qi is to have a strong body. Only when the body is strong enough can it drive qi. "

Kakarot speaks to Dr. Gero about the power of Chi.

Dr. Gero smiled:
"Since the dawn of our civilization, there have been legends of mighty warriors wielding powers that can only be described as supernatural.

These rare human beings can destroy mountains, sink islands, and open seas. They are called stories because they are too few, but now, the stories have come into reality.

There are two modes of supernatural power. One is warriors. They use their powerful bodies to drive this energy. The other is more extraordinary. They have unique invisible powers that can interfere with the material world with their hearts. The bodies of such people often It is not strong, which overturns the view that only a strong body can drive life energy. "

Gero took out the esper file about Dumpling and transmitted it to Kakarot.

"In my opinion, life energy is a kind of power generated by thinking. This is a power that belongs only to those who can think. Our thoughts are in many ways a manifestation of the universe itself, a microscopic world, not everyone... ..."

"Before studying this topic, let's unify the name of this energy. I can't use the name of [Qi], you can use the name of [Life Energy]. Call it psychic power."

Kakarot pressed his temples, qi, or psionic power. For Kakarot, it is also a kind of magical power. Dragon Ball Earth has only mastered the usage, but the principle is still unknown.

Kakarot and Cat Fairy have built many psionic skills in depth, from apprenticeship to advanced theory stage.

But he still doesn't know the principle of psionic power.

"Well, psionic, I like the short title."

Gro nodded and created a new virtual profile at the same time.

"I think psionic power is the power of thinking. Those who are born with power are the power of mind thinking, while the psionic power that ordinary people get through exercise is the power of physical thinking."

"Except for a small number of guys who are born to use psionic power, most of the time, this damned psionic power needs a strong physical body to drive it.

Most of us on Earth simply cannot perceive the power of psionic energy without exercising,
As for the lucky few, even if they discover and practice their spiritual powers, their spiritual powers still have a limit in their lifetime. "

"I believe that for psionics, we have only developed and used a small part, but this small part is enough to stump most people, such as me."

Gro pointed to his emaciated body.

"It's impossible for me to exercise and gain spiritual power. Even if I do, it's too weak for you young people."

"For this reason, I plan to transform my body, turn my body into a semi-mechanical cyborg, and then stimulate spiritual energy on a large scale. This is my problem. After the body is transformed into a mechanical dead thing, how to Guaranteed to drive my psychic energy, I will either awaken the spiritual or the physical."

Kakarot felt a headache when he saw the huge data sent by Dr. Gero.

This is a brand new theory.

Irrelevant to existing theories that he had learned from Dr. Brive.

These theories come from Dr. Gero's own research on human transformation, as well as the excellent experimental subjects he sent over.

Superpower: Dumplings, the world's number one killer who has mastered Qi: Tao Baibai, the great master of martial arts: Crane Immortal.

Although it was very difficult to see, Kakarot still noticed Gero's thoughts.

Whether it's superpowers or martial arts qi, they all belong to life energy in essence, that is, spiritual power.

Psionic energy comes from the thinking of intelligent organisms.

Superpowers are innate, thinking and spiritual powers awakened by a lucky few, while qi is physical and spiritual powers barely obtained by living organisms polishing their physical bodies year after year.

They are essentially indistinguishable.

Damn it, these top scientists in the world, even if they put the most advanced theories and technologies in front of me, I still can't understand the power of these technologies...

Kakarot's expression flickered.

Here it is again, this is called the talent gap.

People cannot be generalized. Some people are good at sports, while others are good at scientific research.

In this anime world, the talent gap is even bigger, just like the huge gap between the sun and the stars.

Kakarot followed Dr. Brive to learn scientific knowledge. He left all the knowledge he had memorized before and learned new scientific knowledge that conforms to the rules of Dragon Ball Earth.

At first he was as efficient as Bulma.

But as Dr. Brive begins to explain space, gravitational waves, light, nano...

This kind of thing developed by Dr. Brive, [Universal Capsule] is something on the technology tree.

Kakarot seems to have returned to the age of middle school, when he saw advanced mathematics when he went to the library.

I don't understand it at all, I can't imagine it.

And Bulma's efficiency in absorbing knowledge is as high as ever.

Over time, Kakarot couldn't even see Bulma's taillights.

From that time on, Kakarot realized that he might not have the talent for scientific research.

It doesn't matter, he started to contact martial arts masters and started to practice martial arts.

Although Kakarot belongs to the powerful category in comparison with his peers, he is not aware of it and uses [Qi].

The route of exercising and becoming stronger is also bumpy.

Fortunately, fortunately, there are dragon balls...

The miraculous power triggered by the dragon is his only golden finger as an ordinary person, right?
It's just that this golden finger can only be opened once a year.

"Dr. Gero, I can't follow your explanation..."

Kakarot helplessly interrupted Dr. Gero's eloquence.

Dr. Gero looked at Bulma through the virtual projection screen with some surprise.

It seems that besides...you are also a child raised by that guy Dr. Brive after all.

Why don't you understand anything?

Kakarot felt a little helpless,

"Dr. Gero, you have a specialization in art, and you can be regarded as the most talented scientist in the world.

My father is good at space theory technology, and you are obviously better at technology of transforming people,
On this planet, there are very few people who can keep up with your knowledge, and I am not one of them. "

"So, please briefly and straightforwardly describe how long it will take for this technology to mature, and what it can bring us..."

"Tsk..."

Dr. Gero nodded regretfully.

"I'm not sure when this technology will mature. The time spent in science is often full of uncertainties. Fools need thousands of years to study, and I need a short flash of inspiration, and the time it takes to capture this flash of inspiration is me Can't be sure."

"According to my vision, this technology will allow me to have a longer lifespan, and even have the powerful combat power of a dancer, that is, to master spiritual power, and my body will also be transformed into a body of steel..."

Gro sketched a picture that might appear in the future, and said to Kakarot.

"I need a large number of experimental subjects."

He asked Kakarot darkly again.

"You can dispose of the death row inmates in the prison as you like, but you absolutely cannot shoot those criminals who have not yet reached the death penalty level."

Kakarot granted Dr. Gero's request.

Technological advances come with sacrifices.

He will definitely implement Gero's life-enhancing plan. Even if Kakarot doesn't approve, this guy will secretly arrest people for experiments.

The future No. 78 [-] is transformed by ordinary people.

Kakarot absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen again, and all of Gro's experiments must be made public in his eyes.

Although doing so may cause No. 78 [-] to be unable to be born...

After finishing the communication with Gero, Kakarot was in some pain and studied his psychic report.

Although he has no talent in scientific research, he must catch up with Gero.

His status as the strongest man on earth will be taken away by Dr. Gero at any time.

After all, in the plot, the artificial human series developed by Gero and the later series of artificial humans have left a deep impression on people.

Kakarot's life has become a little more monotonous.

Handle the country's internal affairs and learn psionic technology.

Compared with psionic energy, the processing speed of the country's internal affairs is much more efficient.

The reason is that he has the power of the king, and many places are very cooperative with him in carrying out reforms. Even if he has resentment, he will endure it, and at most complain in private.

The only thing that can be called troublesome is that the number of thugs who have purchased heavy firepower is a little bit large, and they are about to develop into an army of evil forces similar to the Red Ribbon Army.

But it is not worth mentioning in front of the army of robots that have grown up under the assembly line.

Because the power of Shenlong is unified globally, there are no separatist forces and other countries.

Robot armies are all used for policing, becoming the new police.

Efficient, sane, streamlined scale.

Just half a year later, the number of robot guards reached an astonishing one million.

This number is still expanding, and the factories that produce robots are still operating properly.

After all, the renovation plan of the lunar base is still empty, and there is a serious shortage of people.

In addition to robot guards, there are more than [-] million robots for daily life, which are used to replace farming and planting.

The style of painting has gradually become sci-fi, and human life has become more convenient and relaxed.

"Kakarot, I have already designed the artificial intelligence you mentioned!"

Excitedly riding a maglev motorcycle, Bulma flew from home into the palace.

"Is artificial intelligence finally here?"

When Kakarot heard this, he moved his head away from the virtual projection screen and rubbed his bloodshot eyes.

"Al, just pay more attention to your body!"

Holding the universal capsule, Bulma felt distressed looking at Kakarot's tired face.

It's heartbreaking to look so much like a sickly handsome man.
