I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 223: Can it be made into the shape of a Gundam?

Uchiha Hikaru didn't understand these technological matters very well either.

Therefore, after getting a general idea of ​​Dr. Gro's current research progress, she moved on to another topic.

"Dr. Gro, have you ever heard of the 'Saiyans'?"

"?"

The answer is of course no.

Uchiha Hikaru didn't keep them in suspense: "They are a race in the universe known as the 'Warrior Race,' born with extremely powerful fighting talents. Some of the best among them can even transform into Super Saiyans when they are extremely angry... These Super Saiyans are Frieza's only nemesis."

"!"

Upon hearing the name "Frieza," Dr. Groh immediately became serious:

"Are you talking about the murderer who wiped out the Red Ribbon Army...?"

"Um."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly, then took out Goku's blood sample and placed it on the lab table: "These test tubes contain Saiyan blood and tissue samples, as well as an analysis report... Take a look and see if you can figure anything out."

This analysis report was naturally written by Dr. Brief.

—Back when he first searched for the Dragon Balls, Hikaru Uchiha collected a blood sample from young Goku and gave a portion of it to Brief for research.

Dr. Brief did indeed conduct a detailed analysis of the blood sample, discovering seventeen types of cells different from those found in humans. Nine of these cells possessed the ability to stimulate energy, granting the recipient enhanced physical capabilities. Additionally, four other cells exhibited rapid regeneration, accelerating wound healing.

However, it is still uncertain which of these is the "S cell".

—The so-called S cells are the kind of cells that are related to transforming into a Super Saiyan.

The current Goku is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and it will be at least ten years before he becomes a Super Saiyan.

Over the past decade, Goku has drunk the Super Divine Water, been hit by the Special Beam Cannon, died once, been seriously injured and near death several times, and even witnessed Krillin being killed twice… All these experiences would have affected his body, causing changes in the number and activity of cells in his body. Therefore, analyzing the composition and mechanism of action of "S cells" using blood samples that have not yet changed would undoubtedly increase the difficulty considerably.

but……

The problem is not big.

Dr. Gero and Dr. Brief are both top scientists in the Dragon Ball world, and they have both discovered and proposed the existence of "S-cells." As long as a general direction is pointed out, it's only a matter of time before research results are achieved. At the very least, they can find "S-cells" a few years earlier than in the original work.

As for how to utilize these cells...

Perhaps... we could use cell modification to artificially create "Super Saiyans"?

If the Naruto world can cultivate an artificial arm using Hashirama Senju's cells, then there's no reason why the Dragon Ball world couldn't do something similar. Even if they can't actually become Super Saiyans, at least using "S-cells" to enhance physical activity and recovery abilities shouldn't be a problem.

Next.

Uchiha Hikaru then took out a tube of blood samples from Daki and her siblings, Erii, Natsumi, Tokai Unryu, and others, and placed them on the lab table. He said a few words, which was considered as arranging the next stage of research tasks for Dr. Gero.

Well...the capable should do more work, right?

So far, Uchiha Hikaru has recruited three scientists in three different worlds.

Orochimaru took on the most projects, a dozen or so, and even with the help of Yakushi Nonou, Karin and others, he was already extremely busy.

Dr. Fashion has relatively fewer tasks, after all, his academic achievements are relatively limited, and he is focusing on tackling research in alchemy, super dangerous species, and Imperial Arms;

Dr. Groh is not only the most academically accomplished of the three, but also has the most complete research team. With Dr. Womi, whose level is not much lower than his, helping him, it is only natural that he would share some of the research work.

As for the blood sample from the Uchiha clan...

After careful consideration, Uchiha Hikaru did not hand it over to Dr. Gero.

after all……

Dr. Groh was only so respectful to her because he was under the influence of the pupil technique.

Although the chances are slim, if the latter were to analyze the Uchiha blood sample and decipher the principles of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and thus discover something, it might cause some unexpected complications. Therefore, it's best to play it safe for now.

As Dr. Gro and Womi began to quietly assess the workload.

Uchiha Hikaru stood up again and glanced at the robot not far away, then suddenly said, "Oh, right..."

"I was just about to ask... could the appearance of this robot be modified slightly?"

"Modify? You mean...?"

Dr. Groh looked somewhat bewildered.

It must be said that Dr. Groh is indeed quite accomplished in the field of weapons manufacturing, but his aesthetic sense is truly worrisome. For example, his androids, apart from No. 17 and No. 18 made from human bodies, are almost all ugly. The same goes for the mechs.

This operable robot has decent performance, but its appearance is really ugly. You can imagine how silly it would look to sit inside it.

and so……

"Borrow a piece of paper."

Hikaru Uchiha pulled a piece of white paper from the side, quickly sketched out the shape of a mecha with a few strokes, and then handed it to Dr. Gero: "Could you build a mecha based on this design?"

"……Can."

Dr. Gro observed for a moment, then nodded: "Although the color scheme is a bit strange, it shouldn't be too difficult to reproduce... Is there any special purpose behind this appearance for you?"

"Oh."

Uchiha Hikaru smiled and said, "You don't understand."

The drawing she made on the paper was none other than the image of the "Strike Freedom Gundam".

Although she already possesses Susanoo, and the specifications and power of Susanoo are no weaker than those of a regular mecha, but...

Who could resist being a Gundam pilot?

In the world of Akame ga Kill!, Uchiha Hikari has already realized her dream of becoming a Dragon Knight. Although due to objective reasons, Tokai Unryu cannot accompany her to other worlds for the time being, she has at least obtained the identity card of a "Dragon Knight".

So...

It shouldn't be too much to dream of "fighting in Gundam form" in the Dragon Ball world, right?

This is the end.

The task that Uchiha Hikaru intended to give to Dr. Gero was basically completed.

Next, she spent several more days thoroughly searching the Red Silk Army castle for valuables.

The harvest was plentiful.

Hikaru Uchiha took out a small portion of the wealth and left it for Dr. Gero as research funding. He packed the rest into his own capsule.

Also during these two days, several batches of Red Silk Army soldiers returned to headquarters from outside.

then……

Esdeath disposed of them all casually.

As for the ice sculptures she had created, they were still standing motionless inside and outside the castle. Because the headquarters was located at a relatively high latitude, even in summer, these ice sculptures showed no signs of melting, which scared away several Red Ribbon Army squads that wanted to come and investigate.

"...He hasn't come for so long, Tao Pai Pai probably won't show up, right?"

"Also, those branch members scattered outside should have noticed the anomaly at headquarters by now, right? They haven't contacted us for so long; maybe they've realized reality and are preparing to run away?"

Given the large amount of equipment in Dr. Gro's laboratory, it's not advisable to move it arbitrarily.

Moreover, the Red Ribbon Army headquarters has a large food reserve, which can sustain Dr. Gro's research team for about one or two years, even if they stay here and don't go anywhere.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikaru requested Esdeath to create a massive hemispherical ice wall, sealing off an area within a dozen miles of the castle. She then personally set up a large-scale concealment barrier—a technique she had learned from Kikyo. After all, the two had spent a considerable amount of time together in the Inuyasha world, and with her Sharingan, learning some practical barrier techniques wasn't difficult for her.

In this way, even if any remnants of the Red Silk Army approached, they would be blocked outside and could only sigh in vain.

This morning.

At the entrance of the Red Silk Army Castle.

Uchiha Hikaru gave Dr. Gero his final instructions: "...That's the general situation. Lieutenant A and I are going out to look for clues about 'Frieza.' We might be back soon, or it might take a long time. In the meantime, I'll trouble you two to carefully study the things I've assigned you, Dr. Gero and Dr. Womi."

"Please rest assured. The one who destroyed the Red Ribbon Army is my enemy. I will definitely develop even more powerful weapons to eliminate him and avenge the deaths of those who perished in our legion!"

Dr. Groh made a firm promise.

Uchiha Hikaru patted him on the shoulder with a smile, as a sign of encouragement.

However… the “person who destroyed the Red Ribbon Army” is actually standing right here, it is her and Esdeath herself.

I wonder what kind of expression Dr. Groh would have if he knew the truth...

"Let's go, Xiao Ai."

"Let's take a walk in the forest first, then go back to find Bulma and the others."

"Uchiha Hikaru said."

……

[Bulma @ Anonymous: Hikaru, how's your situation going? Do you need any help?]

[Bulma: Tanjiro, Yamato, and I have left Kame-sen Island and are on our way to the martial arts tournament venue... If you're done with your business, you can come over and see us.]

[Nameless: That's about it. There are a few more things I need to explain. We can head back now. Have Erii and the others arrived by now?]

[Little Monster: Here it comes! I can't wait to see the light!]

[Brand: This is my first time in Miss Bulma's world, and I never expected to see so many things I've never seen before... It feels so amazing.]

At this moment.

Hundreds of miles above Turtle Island.

A rather large airship is traveling at high speed.

The driver was Bulma.

In the back row of seats sat Yamato, Erii, Kikyo, Brand, Yotsuya Miko... Apart from Uchiha Hikaru, who was at the Red Ribbon Army headquarters, and Namikaze Minato and Itadori Yuujin, who were unable to attend due to objective reasons, the remaining seven group members were all present and were excitedly looking at the sky outside, chattering away.

The most excited was Yotsuya Miko.

Of all the people present, she had the least interaction with the other group members. She had only met Uchiha Hikaru and Kikyo before, and her impressions of the others were limited to text communication. This was the first time she had met them in person.

and……

In the world where Miko lived, the cycle of reincarnation was disrupted, and wandering ghosts and spirits were almost everywhere. Now, having arrived in the Dragon Ball world, she couldn't see a single ghost around her, which brought tears to her eyes.

Not far from the airship, in another high part of the sky.

Master Roshi was piloting a small plane, carrying Goku, Krillin, and Launch in her blue-haired form, also heading towards the martial arts tournament location. During the journey, he subconsciously glanced to the side a few times, his expression subtle.

"Where did Bulma get so many friends?"

"And their abilities all seem pretty good..."

As a seasoned champion of the "World Martial Arts Tournament," Master Roshi had a general understanding of the level of this competition and also knew the skill level of his two new disciples.

Well...

Based on the experience of the past ten or so martial arts tournaments, there may be a few people who can beat Krillin, but there is basically no one who can reliably beat Goku.

If the Crane School members don't come, and he doesn't participate either, Goku will most likely win the championship, while Krillin will at least make it to the semifinals.

That's why Master Roshi came up with the idea of ​​participating under an assumed name, intending to give Goku a lesson in hardship and temper his arrogance so that he could go further.

For the same reason, Master Roshi went to great lengths to invite Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath to participate in the competition, wanting to give his disciples two more whetstones.

but now……

Master Roshi suddenly began to doubt his own actions—

Setbacks are setbacks.

But... this year's martial arts tournament, will Goku not even make it into the top four?

You know, among Bulma's group of friends, there are three or four who are stronger than Goku. Add him to that... what if the setback is too great and crushes him?

"I have a bit of a headache..."

Master Roshi scratched his head with one hand, looking somewhat worried.

That afternoon.

Bulma and Master Roshi's two groups landed in the city where the martial arts tournament was being held and booked several hotels.

As a competition that has been held for nearly a century, the World Martial Arts Tournament is still very popular.

With several days to go before the event, the city was already packed with people. Not only were all the hotels fully booked, but walking down the street, you could see many martial artists dressed in various costumes, eagerly waiting to participate in the grand event a few days later.

In this lively atmosphere.

Hikaru Uchiha brought Esdeath over using "Shangri-La" and met Bulma and the others once again.
