“Capsulation is how the Briefs family made their riches. The concept is simple but the execution is incredibly complex. Essentially we can dismantle anything into its constituent parts, transfer them to code and store them as data within a capsule, like this one. Each of these has different capacities. The more matter, or data, you want to encapsulate the bigger the capsule you’ll need.
“We sell starter packs for people now. Vehicle starter packs will come with a couple of motorbikes, a few small cars, a single-person air-car and a small airplane. Bigger capsules can have things like helicopters, cargo planes, even tanks! You can even have small domed houses kept in capsules for your convenience.
“Organic matter was a problem for a while, but so long as it’s not living we can encapsulate anything. This was particularly handy when…you know…when everyone died all those times…
“And that’s how capsules work! Any questions, Vegeta?”
The Saiyan prince examined the collection of capsules that Bulma had laid out in front of him during her explanation of her family’s wealth. He looked up at her and smirked. “I don't know…it just seems like a convenient plot device to me.”
