Chapter 360 (1/2)
o“They detect the deformation between the target and their fingertips.”
“Eh? ….is that so, Jin?”
Reinhart asked. It seems it was also his first time hearing that.
“The control core is ordering the body after estimating how much strength should be put in. And the body moves after that—a very short period of time, about 0.001 seconds later.”
“………”
Saki and Reinhart were both listening quietly.
“Once the finger touches the object, the finger movements slow down depending on the hardness of the object. If they object is soft, it’s harder for the core to process and it is harder to slow down. If it is hard, then it becomes slow quicker. They detect and calculate all these really quick and apply the necessary force.”
Jin added,
“By the way, they do mistake the force sometimes… After all, humans also sometimes drop stuff after holding them ‘cause they seem lighter. However, since their reaction speed is dozen times faster than that of a human’s, in most cases, they make it in time.”
After explaining that far, Jin looked at both their faces.
Like a magi engineer, Reinhart was digesting the information he just heard but Saki was fine with just understanding the concept.
“I see, Jin, thanks! One of my long lasting questions just got answered!”
Saki was overjoyed.
“They can do that because the control core is much faster than humans at thinking, right?”
“Yep, that’s right.”
Jin nodded to Saki’s question.
“If so, then the control core is dealing with difficult stuff like how the body should behave, eh?”
“Yep, yep…. Mm?”
Jin thought over Saki’s question once again.
Generally, things follow the ‘simple is best’ principle. Even more so if it’s a system.
“Jin? Is something the matter?”
Saki called out to Jin, seeing him fall silent all of a sudden but the words didn’t reach Jin’s ears.
(For the action of determining the strength, most of the control core’s processing power is being used. In other words, it is being left to the software…)
Jin wasn’t really knowledgeable in the electronics engineering or IT field but he did have the general knowledge a normal person living in the current world would have.
(The software can surely work it out. However, if one can have the hardware also carry that load, the control core’s pressure would decrease and it could process other things…)
“Hello? Jin? Oii.”
Jin was deep in thought.
(Then, what can be in place of it? ….Automata and golems are made by copying the structure of human body. Something a human has but an automata does not…. sense of touch!)
