Magi Craft Meister - Chapter 360

Chapter 360
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!)

Eyes for vision . Ears for hearing . Nose for sense of smell . All of these have a special magi device for it and were acting like a pseudo sense organ .

However, for sense of touch, they only have something very poor .


There’s a temperature sensor in the chest portion to detect heat and cold . It is used to monitor the metal body’s temperature .

If used properly, it could also detect the temperature of the object the fingertips touch .



Sense of pain isn’t being considered from the start .

(A while before, Reiko didn’t use her sword techniques even after learning them because figuring out the ‘ample’ amount of strength would be difficult . )

Complicated actions need delicate power distribution . Even though they have multiple times the processing speed of humans, it would be extremely difficult to calculate the strength allocation while moving tens or hundred times faster .

Even more so ‘cause Reiko’s power is tremendous . Between adjusting from 10 to 1 and from 10,000 to 1, the difference is huge .

One can easily figure out which will be harder to determine the strength for—simple actions like punching or kicking, or complicated actions like locking techniques in judo .

Such a conclusion had also come up after a discussion with Laojun .

(Ah… . So that’s how it is…)

How he would help Reiko understand power distribution even better—Jin had just thought up of a solution for it .

(I didn’t think about it enough…)

There was a need to control Reiko’s magical muscle to the milli—no, to the micron unit by delicately limiting the power output from ether converter and mana driver for Reiko’s power distribution . All this while moving more than ten times faster than a human .

Reiko probably couldn’t explain all that to Jin .

“……What happened to Jin?”

“He probably became aware of something important . ”

A few minutes after Jin had indulged in thinking . Saki and Reinhart were whispering to each other .

“Kufufu, there were times when you became like that too, huh? A specialty idiot, eh?”

“I don’t want to be told that by you . ”

And then, Jin returned to reality .

“Saki, thank you! Thanks to your words, I might be able to progress greatly!”

In response to Jin’s loud thanks, Saki replied, still confused .

“Kufufu, I don’t really get what you mean but it’s an honor to be of use . If it’s okay with you, could you explain it to us as well?”

“Yes, of course! Reinhart, I would also like to hear your opinion on this . ”

Saying that, Jin started explaining the theory of power control which he had just thought of .
