"Really?"
"Mhm."
"Then I'll leave it in your capable hands, Dr. Brief."
After Dr. Brief agreed to construct the spaceship, Qin Yan's face lit up with joy. He felt a deep sense of gratitude toward the doctor. However, there were still some specific requirements he needed to address, so he spoke up again. "Dr. Brief, regarding the functional design of the spaceship, there are a few requirements I'd like to mention."
"Oh? What are they? Speak up, and let me see what I can do."
Dr. Brief paused, looking at him with curiosity.
Just then, Mrs. Brief spoke up with a smile. "You two chat. I'll go get some drinks for everyone."
"That would be wonderful, dear. Thank you," Dr. Brief replied, offering a gentle smile to his wife.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Qin Yan added, bowing slightly in thanks.
Once Mrs. Brief had turned to leave, Qin Yan turned his attention back to the scientist. "Dr. Brief, regarding the design, I'd like the spaceship to be as large as possible. But most importantly, it must be equipped with an Artificial Gravity Device that allows for free control over gravity multipliers."
Qin Yan laid out his specific functional requirements for the craft.
"Oh? An Artificial Gravity Device? What exactly do you plan to do with that?"
Dr. Brief was visibly puzzled. He couldn't imagine why someone would need such a thing on a personal craft.
"It's mainly for training," Qin Yan said with a smile. "The higher the controllable gravity multiplier, the better."
"Wh... What? You want to use it for training?!"
Dr. Brief cried out in surprise. He had never imagined that the gravity device was intended for physical training, let alone that the intensity should be pushed as high as possible. This was a shock to him.
While he had seen many martial arts masters who practiced with heavy weights, even the greatest among them struggled to maintain long periods of training with three or four times their own body weight.
If Qin Yan only wanted a few times earth's gravity for his training, there would be no need to go through the trouble of building a complex Artificial Gravity Device. He could simply find a massive boulder in the mountains to carry. But Qin Yan's needs clearly went far beyond that.
"That's right, Dr. Brief. As I mentioned before, we are stronger than average because we belong to a special race. Our physical resilience is much higher than that of a normal human, so training under high gravity is the most effective way to improve our strength."
Qin Yan offered a simple explanation to soothe the doctor's astonishment.
"I see! Well then! I'll give it a try!" Dr. Brief nodded, the gears already turning in his head as he grasped the concept.
"I appreciate it, Dr. Brief."
"Haha! No trouble at all! Scientific research is my greatest passion. I love exploring the unknown. You've brought me such a valuable and meaningful project; I should be the one thanking you."
Dr. Brief truly loved scientific exploration and research. He was filled with a burning curiosity for anything new. Whenever he encountered a scientific puzzle, he would rack his brain to solve it, unwilling to stop until every secret was laid bare.
"Haha! That's good to hear, Dr. Brief."
Qin Yan smiled, understanding the doctor's thirst for knowledge. He had guessed correctlythe allure of a new research challenge was the most important thing to Dr. Brief.
"Aside from those, are there any other requirements?" Dr. Brief asked, leaning in with focus.
"That's all. For everything else, you can just follow your own ideas and typical design style," Qin Yan replied. Indeed, the Artificial Gravity Device was the only truly vital part; the rest was secondary.
"Alright then! I'll start researching it immediately."
Dr. Brief didn't even consider the possibility of failure. His pride and confidence in his own abilities were absolute. He believed that given enough time, there was nothing he couldn't build.
"I'm counting on you, Dr. Brief," Qin Yan said, thanking the scientist solemnly.
In Qin Yan's eyes, scientists were intellectuals who sought perfection, dedicated to pushing the progress of human civilization through their spirit of research and exploration of the unknown. Whether in his past life or this one, he held a deep sense of admiration and respect for them. Their greatness was a model he strived to learn from.
"Haha! Good. Then you'll just have to wait for a few days. By the way, do you have a place to stay? If not, you're welcome to stay here. That way, you'll be the first to know if there are any new developments."
Dr. Brief laughed confidently and invited them to remain at his estate.
"We haven't arranged a place to stay yet, but I wouldn't want us to be a bother," Qin Yan replied calmly.
"How could you be a bother? Our family loves having guests. We'd be more than happy to have you stay with us!" Dr. Brief's face broke into a kind smile. He was incredibly enthusiastic, clearly determined to host them.
"Is it really not too much trouble? We could easily find a place nearby," Qin Yan declined politely.
"There's no trouble at all, so it's settled! I'll have my wife arrange a room for you in a moment."
Dr. Brief didn't give Qin Yan a chance to refuse, settling the matter with finality.
"Well... alright then!"
Qin Yan couldn't withstand the doctor's overwhelming hospitality and agreed to stay.
"Haha! That's the spirit! This way, my daughter will have some company. She'll be thrilled to meet you!" Dr. Brief laughed heartily, already looking forward to introducing his daughter.
"Tea is here! Have a drink to quench your thirst!"
At that moment, Mrs. Brief returned, carrying an exquisite tray with several glasses. She walked toward them with an elegant, graceful stride, her eyes narrowed in a smile and her beautiful cheeks flushed with a light rosy tint. She was truly a stunning woman.
Following closely behind her was a little girl, standing just a bit shorter than Lia.
"Oh! My wife and Bulma are here," Dr. Brief said with a smile as he watched his family approach.
The little girl had short blue hair tied back into a cute ponytail. Her face was small, fair, and adorably round. Her large, watery eyes sparkled like two translucent grapes, and her violet-blue pupils shone with an innocent,
radiant light that made one want to protect her. She had a small, delicate nose and a pink, cherry-like mouth. Her tiny, soft hands looked as delicate as blossoms blooming in spring.
When the girl saw her father, a charming smile spread across her face, revealing a row of neat, white teeth. Her smile was as bright as sunshine, so heart-meltingly cute that it was almost impossible to resist wanting to give her a hug.
Wearing a pink dress, she strolled toward them, the hem of her skirt swaying gently like a little fairy from a storybook. Her shoes were as exquisite as small pieces of art, brimming with childlike charm.
Her small frame was as light as a swallow, moving with the grace of a tiny dancer. Her silhouette looked like a vivid ink painting, every line and contour perfectly defined.
Qin Yan watched the little girl approach and studied her quietly. This was Dr. Brief's daughterBulma. She was the premiere genius girl of the original Dragon Ball world.
