Chapter 486 Mechanical Arm

"Gohan, it's been a long time since you've been back to Mount Paozu, hasn't it?"

“It’s been two years,” Gohan replied to Trunks.

The two of them were salvaging usable materials from the city ruins.

Two years ago, Gohan saved the reckless Trunks from Androids 17 and 18. After losing an arm, Gohan never returned to Mount Paozu.

Gohan didn't want Chi-Chi to see him with one arm missing.

He would often rush to fight after hearing on the radio that a certain place had been attacked by androids, so that Chi-Chi would know from the radio that her son, Gohan, was still alive and fighting against the two androids.

"I'll go back once the new arm is finished," Gohan said.

"Then it may take a few more months."

“We are short of a lot of materials right now,” Trunks said.

In order to provide Gohan with a mechanical prosthetic arm, Bulma slowed down her research and development of the time machine.

Neither Gohan nor Trunks knew about Bulma's plan regarding the time machine.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Gohan's mechanical arm has been created and transplanted.

Bulma originally wanted to add artificial skin to Gohan's mechanical arm so that it would look almost identical to the original arm from the outside, but Gohan refused.

Adding a layer of artificial skin to the robotic arm makes it very easy for it to fall off during combat; it would be better not to add it in the first place.

Gohan moved his mechanical arm, and his brain gave him the same feedback as if he had never lost the arm.

In tests of gripping objects, the delicate biomimetic texture on the metal palm provided sufficient friction, allowing Gohan to pick up smooth objects.

The force exerted by the robotic arm increased or decreased according to his thoughts, and it did not crush the object being grasped in one go.

"Gohan, break down this wall," Bulma instructed Gohan, wearing goggles. She also had a portable computer monitoring various data from Gohan's robotic arm.

Gohan effortlessly shattered the test wall.

“I feel great, that’s enough,” Gohan said.

“Alright, that concludes the regular test. So far, Gohan, you don’t seem to be experiencing any discomfort with this arm, do you?” Bulma asked.

"I just need to get used to the weight."

The mechanical arm was heavier than the original arm, and Gohan felt that his center of gravity was affected.

To ensure the robotic arm is sturdy enough, the density of the arm's material is also astonishing.

Gohan channeled his ki into his mechanical arm and fired a ki blast from it.

The temperature of the robotic arm rose slightly, and Gohan tried to fire a Kamehameha wave, after which the arm temperature rose significantly.

“Gohan, your arm temperature is 43 degrees Celsius,” Bulma said to Gohan.

"Don't worry, my arm can withstand temperatures of 800 degrees Celsius. It only went up by 6 degrees just now, which is still far from the limit."

Gohan began extreme testing of the mechanical arm in battle, with the forearm reaching a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. The entire mechanical hand turned crimson, and most of the objects it held melted.

"Gohan, now you have another attack method!"

"Can the androids withstand the thousands of degrees of heat from your arm?!" Trunks asked excitedly.

“It’s also very dangerous for me,” Gohan said calmly.

"Aunt Bulma, if I rapidly lower the temperature of my arm in a very short time, will it damage my arm?" Gohan asked.

"It will still happen." "But don't worry, just treat the robotic arm as a consumable."

"If the palm is damaged, the palm will be replaced; if the forearm is damaged, the forearm will be replaced; if it is completely damaged, a new arm will be made."

“Gohan, did you notice? I painted a ‘01’ mark on the shoulder joint of this mechanical arm. There will definitely be a ‘02’ type arm in the future,” Bulma said.

"Yeah." Gohan nodded.

"Gohan, do you know how to use the emergency escape function?"

“If your arm gets stuck on something, or if an android grabs you tightly, you can take it off,” Bulma added.

"Aunt Bulma, can my fist fly out to attack the enemy?"

“You want your mechanical fists to hit people? You’ll have to wait for the next model,” Bulma replied.

Son Gohan studied the mechanical arm and found that there were three parts that could detach in an emergency according to his idea, which were the three main joints of the mechanical arm.

Son Gohan deliberately separated the mechanical arm into three sections, while retaining ki in the arm. By controlling the ki in the mechanical arm, Gohan was able to make the mechanical arm automatically reassemble itself.

The principle is the same as Yamcha's ki bomb.

Bulma just said that mechanical fists shouldn't fly out and hit people on their own, and now Gohan can realize that idea.

In one afternoon, Gohan mastered control of his new arm. It was time for him to go back to Mount Paozu to see his mother and grandfather.

Son Gohan felt uneasy, but that feeling quickly disappeared.

Son Gohan understood that it was another version of himself inside his body helping him manage his emotions.

He has been living a peaceful life for three months, and during these three months he has not transformed into a Super Saiyan even once.

Compared to three months ago, Gohan felt that his physical condition was much better.

Instead of being unable to transform into a Super Saiyan himself, Gohan required Trunks to maintain his Super Saiyan transformation at all times, even while sleeping.

Such a request was far too difficult for Trunks.

However, the more difficult it is, the more obvious the progress becomes.

……

……

After visiting his mother and grandfather at home and resting for a day at Baozi Mountain, Son Gohan quickly resumed his new mission.

Gohan arrives at the area where Frieza and Goku once fought on Earth and finds the Ginyu Force's one-man spaceship that Goku used to return to Earth in the deserted wasteland.

Gohan carried the one-person boat and flew towards West City, delivering the spaceship to Bulma.

More than a decade has passed, and the small boat has been surprisingly well preserved, except for a layer of dust covering its exterior.

After delivering the spaceship, Gohan flew to Korinta.

Kalin Tower was destroyed by Androids 17 and 18, but instead of falling to the ground, the broken sections of the tower remained suspended in the air, forming a peculiar structure.

Gohan flew upwards and saw a red stick among the ruins at the top of Korin Tower.

Gohan picked up the Power Pole and tied it around his waist.

"Mr. Popo, are you still paying attention to humanity?"

"If you see me, let the temple appear before me!" Gohan shouted to the sky.
