After quite a while, Mrs. Brief came to her senses, hurriedly put down the puppy, and walked gracefully toward Neo. Then, with her well-maintained hands, she affectionately linked her arm through his other arm. The touch was warm, soft, and delicate, carrying a faint hint of perfume: "I really love this gift of yours. Let's go, it's too windy outside, let's go inside to talk."
Feeling the subtle, soft touch coming from his arm, Neo couldn't help but marvel inwardly: "Is this Bulma's mother? As expected... her enthusiasm is a bit overwhelming."
He calmly glanced at Bulma beside him and saw that her expression was natural and her face was full of joy, obviously very satisfied with her mother's attitude toward him. Her mother acting so warmly meant that she already half-approved of Neo.
Neo smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that the first step to integrating into Bulma's family life was to adapt to her mother's unique enthusiastic offensive, which an ordinary person might really not be able to handle.
Mrs. Brief didn't ask endless questions like other parents; instead, she curiously asked about the anecdotes and strange tales of their journey, making Neo feel very comfortable getting along with her, feeling not like meeting parents, but rather like facing a gentle elder sister next door.
Just as Neo and Mrs. Brief were chatting happily and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, Dr. Brieff also appeared and came to the living room.
Having learned of Neo's existence, he had broken all precedent by running out of his laboratory to meet this boyfriend brought back by his precious daughter.
Dr. Brieff was wearing a fairly clean white lab coat, but his hair was a bit messy, and he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His hands were clasped behind his back, and on his shoulder stood the small black cat that Mrs. Brief had been teasing earlier.
Seeing Dr. Brieff, Bulma said in great surprise: "Dad! What a rarity! How could you bear to walk out of the laboratory at this time?"
Dr. Brieff looked at Bulma, a smile appearing on his face: "It's rare for you to come home, so naturally I had to come out and take a look." As he spoke, his gaze turned toward Neo.
Feeling his gaze, Neo also felt a bit nervous. He immediately stood up and said very politely: "Hello, Dr. Brieff, I am Neo, very glad to meet you."
"Hmm!"
Dr. Brieff nodded, sizing up Neo with a serious expression. Since he could be brought home by his daughter, it seemed serious, so he naturally had to carefully scrutinize and vet him.
As the world's richest man and a famous scientist, he had seen too many riffraff wanting to latch onto high branches just to get close to Bulma.
"Hmm~ He does look quite good-looking, no wonder Bulma took a fancy to him." Dr. Brieff picked up the small black cat, placed it on the sofa, and said to Neo again: "What do you do for a living? Do you have a proper job?"
This was indeed the kind of question a father should ask; women as easygoing as Bulma's mother were simply too rare.
Neo immediately put on a serious expression and said: "I am a martial artist and don't have a job yet."
Bulma immediately said with an admiring expression: "Dad, Linzhou is super amazing He can defeat dinosaurs and mechs with his bare hands If I didn't have Linzhou's protection during this trip, I would have been in danger!"
"That is indeed quite impressive." Dr. Brieff nodded seriously: "And thank you very much for protecting Bulma."
"It's nothing, this is what I should do." As Neo spoke, he also stated the purpose of this trip to Bulma's home: "Um, Dr. Brieff, you have deep insights in the field of science. I wonder if you can manufacture a training room capable of simulating different gravity environments? For example, increasing gravity to one to a hundred times that of Earth, or even a thousand or ten thousand times!"
"A gravity room?" Hearing this, Dr. Brieff said with some curiosity: "This proposal is quite novel, but what do you want to make that gadget for?"
"Naturally for training. Imagine, if a person can move freely under tenfold gravity, when they return to a normal gravity environment, how many times will their speed and strength increase? For a martial artist, this is an immeasurable treasure."
Hearing this, Dr. Brieff immediately fell into deep thought: "This idea is indeed not bad. Martial arts is indeed popular here, and the World Martial Arts Tournament is held every five years (later changed to every three years). If we can research and develop this gravity room, it should sell very well, but... tenfold, hundredfold gravity... can the human bone structure really withstand it? Can the muscle tissue normally maintain itself without being torn apart... No, no! This is too dangerous, if anything goes wrong, it could cost lives... This thing cannot be sold..."
After a burst of deep thought and muttering to himself, Dr. Brieff looked at Neo with a serious expression: "Are you sure you want to use the gravity room for training? Cultivating in such a high-load gravity room probably won't produce training effects, but instead drag down your body and even pose a life-threatening danger!"
Neo, however, smiled with confidence: "It's fine, my body structure is a bit different from ordinary people and is extremely strong. The more I cultivate in a high-pressure environment, the faster I improve. You don't need to worry about this."
"In that case... it is theoretically feasible, but the practical operation is extremely difficult." Dr. Brieff said with a serious expression: "You need to give me some time to research it."
"No problem, I'm not in a huge rush either." As Neo spoke, he continued: "Besides this gravity room, I actually have some other concepts. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Let's hear it?"
"For instance... an independent space that can isolate the external time flow rate, a time room where training inside for one year means only one day passes in the outside world..."
"A time room?" Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed through Dr. Brieff's eyes and vanished: "This doesn't have much significance, right? Besides accelerating the consumption of one's own life, what use could it have? But if one can truly manipulate time, then traveling through the past and future wouldn't be a problem either. This proposal of yours is also worth pondering!"
Dr. Brieff immediately fell into deep thought again, his complexion becoming more and more excited.
Seeing this, Neo was filled with admiration. He had only provided the concept of a time room, yet Dr. Brieff had already thought all the way to a time machine.
And this time machine was actually built by future Bulma.
Neo looked at the old man in front of him who was so excited his face was slightly red. In order to win over his future father-in-law, he continued: "There is also materializing artificial intelligence, giving them the ability to self-learn and evolve. I call this technology AI..."
In the following time, the living room turned into a temporary technology seminar between Neo and Dr. Brieff. He explained all the theories of AI technology from the real world, as well as technologies like spaceships and spacetime jumps, to Dr. Brieff. Anyway, he had seen them all in science fiction movies; whether they could be manufactured or not was his business...
