It was also at the moment the miniature radio appeared that Angel sensed new information surging through his mind. This information included a brief introduction to the radio's abilities, as well as its general particulars.
What concerned Angel most was the intelligence-related information about the radio.
"Hello?"
Angel lightly waved at the miniature radio floating before him in greeting.
But the radio showed no response. It merely continued bobbing heavily in midair.
Angel tried greeting it in all sorts of ways, but the results were much the same. Its reaction was minimal, almost nonexistent.
Even when it did react occasionally, all that came from its speaker was a crackling "zzzzt" of interference. It did not seem to be answering him, but rather like it had poor internal contact.
After trying several times in succession, Angel finally confirmed that the information fed back in his mind was correct.
According to that information, in the Time Radio's broadcasting-station form, the activity level of its response zone was far lower than that of other companion pets.
Put more plainly... its comprehension was poor, its intelligent responses were weak, and its only strength was that it could execute commands fairly well.
In common terms, it was a strong but foolish brute.
Compared to Turing, which possessed powerful AI, it was practically the opposite extreme.
Fortunately, though its intelligence was low, it was not unusable. As long as he spoke certain specific phrases, he could activate its responses.
For instance, as long as Angel said, "Search for signals," it would immediately begin searching the surrounding area for signals and enter the capture mode of its "broadcasting station."
Under such circumstances, it could understand and respond accordingly to extensions of "search for signals," such as "Search for band signals within one hundred meters centered on me,"
