Entire refinement area the transportation unloads cargo, gives the material collection, as far as possible used the steam power to substitute for the manpower, the mechanized degree was Neverwinter City highest one. 整个提炼区无论是运输卸货,还是给料收集,都尽可能采用了蒸汽动力来取代人力,机械化程度算是无冬城最高的一个。 Because it needs to swallow into the massive coals and crude oil, therefore factory district from sky bird's eye view just like a huge rectangular square, toward northern corrects to Scarlet Water River, is not only special-purpose dock, is the coal dump site. Several transport to the boiler room the coal with the conveyer belt of Steam engine linkage continuously, the neat heavy line and peripheral grey cement hardening ground of parallel operation have formed the sharp contrast. 由于它需要吞入大量的煤炭和原油,因此厂区从上空俯瞰宛如一个巨大的长方形广场,朝北的一端正对着赤水河,既是专用码头,又是煤炭堆场。数条与蒸汽机联动的传送带将煤炭源源不断地运往锅炉房,平行运行的规整黑线与周边灰色的水泥硬化地面形成了鲜明的对比。 Square another end was used to deposit the marine transportation petroleum from shoal, the orbital and intercourse trailer constituted the prospect of this half, when the coal lacked, the boiler room may also treat as the combustion use the fuel oils that has not refined directly. 广场另一端则用于存放来自浅滩的海运石油,轨道与往来的拖车构成了这半边的图景,在煤炭缺乏时,锅炉房也可直接把未提炼的油料当做燃烧物使用。 West side oil store situated in fractionating tower has constructed half at present, is similar to the fortress concrete warehouse sets up in an array, its rough modeling and river opposite shore house little building is incompatible, has an aesthetic sense of not being able to say. Simultaneously Roland knows, its technique content is not low, releasing pressure valve, inspection window, delivery pipe and against electrostatic apparatus...... From construction detail to use regulation, if did not have before the accumulation of chemical plant, impossible so was decidedly smooth. 位于分馏塔西边的储油仓库目前已建到一半,如同堡垒般的混凝土仓一字排开,其粗犷的造型与河对岸的住宅小楼格格不入,却有着一种说不出的美感。同时罗兰知道,它的技术含量一点儿也不低,泄压阀、检查窗、输送管、防静电设备……从建造细节到使用章程,若没有之前化工厂的积累,断然不可能如此顺利。 Those who made him feel quite to be gratified, oneself have only made the final verification and reply to the overall plan, the middle design process all was unites efforts to be completed by Ministry of Construction and Ministry of Chemistry. Obviously mine, furnace area and other projects made them gain in the massive experiences, and applies it in the new project boldly. Because this time has not presented the unified industrial criterion, therefore from the elevator to the towing capstan, after each machine needs on the spot the fixed parameter, then hands over by the factory carries on the processing assembly. If no basic technology accomplishment and being literate level, the two sides light is the docking exchange is impracticable. 令他颇感欣慰的是,自己只对整体方案做了最后的审核与批复,中间的设计过程皆是由建设部与化工部协力完成。显然矿山、炉窑区等工程让他们积累了大量经验,并大胆地将其应用在新项目上。由于这个时代尚未出现统一的行业标准,因此从升降机到牵引绞盘,每台机器都需要现场确定参数后,再交由工厂进行加工组装。若没有基本的工学素养和识字水平,两边光是对接交流都难以实现。 The popularization education forcing to promote for two years later, has appeared the result gradually. 普及教育在强制推广两年后,已逐渐显现出了成效。 As the boiler temperature continuously elevates, was heated up to the steam condition petroleum has flooded into fractionating tower-- this point can on the snow through tower change to continuously water vapor to look. This moment north wind has subsided basically, only the floating snows of remaining everywhere slowly fall, the people that but visits, they are not staring at this attractive metal high tower, the steam that in the breath and square that exhales various machineries spout coordinates with each other across a great distance, in this does not see the sunlight in the cold winter, formed one type not to drop the wind unexpectedly the warm feeling. 随着锅炉的温度不断升高,被加热至蒸汽状态的石油涌进了分馏塔——这一点可以通过塔身上的积雪化作一缕缕水汽看出来。此刻北风已基本平息,只剩下漫天的飘雪缓缓落下,但前来参观的民众丝毫不所动,他们凝视着这座漂亮的金属高塔,呼出的鼻息和广场上各类机械喷出的蒸汽遥相呼应,在这不见阳光的寒冬中,竟形成了一种丝毫不落下风的暖意。 ...... …… „Quite beautiful.” Edith stands on the steel bridge, muttered makes noise. “好美。”伊蒂丝站在钢铁大桥上,喃喃出声。 In here leaves the refinement area almost to know how things stand remote, therefore the person's shadow wants to be sparser, occasionally had passing by hurriedly, was wants to go to the high tower direction basically, besides witnessing beyond the birth of another novel thing, was in order to witnesses one side His Majesty The King. However after the Pearl of the Northern Lands side, most people cannot help but has a liking for two toward her and her nearby person-- without doubt in their eyes, is built on these two females in snow, has the beckoning beautiful appearance. 这里离提炼区差不多有数里之遥,因此人影要稀疏许多,偶尔有急匆匆的路过者,基本也是想要前往高塔方向,除了见证又一桩新奇事物的诞生外,亦是为了能目睹国王陛下一面。不过在经过北地珍珠身旁时,大部分人都会不由自主地朝她和她边上的人看上两眼——无疑在他们眼里,立于雪中的这两名女子,都有着令人心动的美貌。 Isn't this chimney? Beautifully where? The Kohl unstated criticism said at heart, on the mouth actually does not dare saying that words that „you want to look, why not with City Hall together? Sir Barov has arranged a better position obviously, Your Majesty also......” 这不就是个烟囱吗？到底美在哪里？科尔心里腹诽道,嘴上却不敢说出来,“你想看的话,为什么不和市政厅一道？巴罗夫大人明明安排了更好的位置,陛下也……” Although here the topography is high, field of vision to be open, but because the distance is quite far, therefore looks not clearly. What important is, this is among colleagues contact sentiment good opportunity-- looked that any thing does not matter actually, all City Hall officials gather at the same place, the significance has not been watches. Changes into the noble time the view, is just like a banquet, with emphasis absolutely does not lie on food that eats, but lies in the object who you talked, as well as which new partners has known. 这里虽然地势较高、视野开阔,但由于距离颇远,因此看得并不真切。更重要的是,这本是一次同行之间联络感情的好机会——看什么东西其实无所谓,所有市政厅官员聚集在一块,意义就已不在于观看。换成贵族时代的说法,就好比一场宴会,重点绝对不在于吃的食物上,而在于你交谈的对象,以及结识了哪些新伙伴。 Regarding elder sister who excels at the human relations extremely, these truth her impossible does not know, reached an agreement obviously has let him in the City Hall attentive tempering, such opportunity actually intentionally absented, sometimes he really does not understand that in the head of opposite party was actually thinking anything. 对于极为擅长交际的姐姐来说,这些道理她不可能不知道,明明说好了让他在市政厅用心磨炼,这样的机会却又故意缺席,有时候他实在不明白对方的脑袋里到底在想什么。 However Edith casts aside slightly, then made Kohl shut up. 然而伊蒂丝的微微一撇,便令科尔闭上了嘴。 „Naturally for you, my dear younger brother,” she teased in a soft voice, „you do want to appear by the present appearance really before other officials?” “当然是为了你,我亲爱的弟弟,”她轻声戏谑道,“你真想要以现在的样子出现在其他官员面前吗？” Wait/Etc., this also not because of your request! 等等,这还不是因为你的要求！ Wears these clothes at home , the result has not expected to be forced to put on, if this were found by the acquaintance, perhaps he can only jump from the bridge. 在家里穿穿那些衣服也就罢了,结果没料到被强迫着穿了出来,这要是被熟人瞧见,他恐怕就只能从桥上跳下去了。 Aaah! Blames to idle bored, when is taking elder sister's clothes up and down gesture, the big sister who suddenly come back bumped into, causes to drop the handle, how otherwise he easily will compromise. 啊啊！都怪自己闲得无聊,拿着姐姐的衣服上下比划时,被突然回来的老姐撞见,导致落下了把柄,否则他又怎么会轻易妥协。 Under Kohl just wants to express slightly protested, has heard a frivolous whistling sound suddenly. 科尔正想稍稍表示下抗议,身后忽然传来了一声轻佻的口哨声。 He felt on immediately the face a piece fiery, holds on the collar subconsciously, wanting to bury. 他顿时感到脸上一片火热,下意识地拉住衣领,想要将头埋下去。 „Wú, this not correct dealing method.” “唔,这可不是正确的应对方法。” A hand resists his chin, making him have to lift the line of sight. 一只手抵住他的下巴,令他不得不重新抬起视线。 Then Kohl saw, Pearl of the Northern Lands has turned round, contemptuously sweeps off toward that passer-by-- in look ice-cold of that aloofing, could not bear hit to tremble including him. Sees only the opposite party to back up two steps, does not dare wordy one, left her line of sight range quickly. 接着科尔看到,北地珍珠回过身,轻蔑地朝那名路人扫去——眼神中那份拒人于千里之外的冰冷,连他都忍不住打了个寒颤。只见对方倒退两步,再也不敢啰嗦一句,快步离开了她的视线范围。 „Understood?” Edith shrugs, „this is also to your one test.” “明白了吧？”伊蒂丝耸耸肩,“这也是对你的一种考验。” „...... If the normal appearance, will not come across this matter,” the Kohl low voice whisper said. “……如果是正常打扮的话,根本不会遇到这种事情,”科尔小声嘀咕道。 „But you want to participate in politics, certainly will have the matter that is similar this unable to resist, you can do only, then accepts it, and tries to control it.” Her paused, „you think at that time when Timothy entered northern region, do I greet willingly with a smile his? The world myriad things have the different surface, which angle the key is you from looks at it. Also, you could not help try my clothes, at heart actually also in anticipation such moment?” “但你想要参与到政事当中,就一定会发生类似这样无法抗拒的事情,你唯一能做的,便是接受它,并试着驾驭它。”她顿了顿,“难道你以为当时提费科进驻北境时,我是心甘情愿地笑着迎接他的？世间万物都存在不同面,关键在于你从哪个角度去看它罢了。再说,你情不自禁去试我的衣服,心里其实也在期待这么一刻吧？” Kohl cannot help but obstructs, the elder sister can always not gather the common sense the action to say rationally some, at this time will choose the argue obstinately to get down only to collapse completely, the correct procedure only had silent waiting. 科尔不由得一窒,姐姐总能把一些根本不合常理的举动说得头头是道,这时候选择强辩下去只会一败涂地,正确的做法唯有沉默以待。 As for last, he will not acknowledge! 至于最后一句,他绝不会承认！ However, beauty that she said before, because of angle different? 不过,她之前所说的美,也是因为角度的不同吗？ Staggers the topic, after asking the doubts in heart, Kohl clear caught to wipe on the opposite party cheeks ruddily. 错开话题,问出心中的疑惑后,科尔清晰在对方脸颊上捕捉到了一抹红润。 „You still remember what the Eternal Night City winter is?” “你还记得永夜城的冬天是什么样的吗？” „......” He stares slightly, in the mind appears immediately a series of pictures, but in the appearances of few cities, most reflections stay at the fireplace, ale and the evening banquet warming up, can think basically is indoor scene. Crossed some little time, he does not determine saying that „looks like the comparison...... Tranquil?” “呃……”他微微一愣,脑海中顿时浮现出一连串画面,可里面很少有城市的模样,大多数映像都停留在温热的壁炉、麦酒与晚宴上,能想到的基本全是室内场景。过了好一会儿,他才不确定道,“看起来比较……宁静？” „Is the deathly stillness, the probably entire earth frozen was been same.” Edith looks out the high tower direction, „I have thought that is the winter habit, but looking back now, the fact is not true.” Her spout white clouds, what „did you see now? The earth is breathing, but these fog steam, were it were still then enlivening was best to show.” “是死寂,就好像整个大地都被冰封了一样。”伊蒂丝遥望高塔方向,“我一直以为,那才是冬季的常态,但现在看来,事实并非如此。”她吐出口白气,“你现在看到了什么？大地正在呼吸,而这些雾汽,便是它仍活跃着的最好证明。” „I not too...... Understood.” “我不太……明白。” „This proof naturally can be changed,” Pearl of the Northern Lands every single word or phrase said, „people do not need to look the day lives, does not need to abide by the rule between world, was suppressed by it because of own small and weak, but after as formidable as certain extent, we even can transform the world-- such strength, insufficient beautiful?” “这证明自然是可以被人改变的,”北地珍珠一字一句道,“人们并不需要看天而活,也无需遵循天地间的规则,被它压制只是因为自身的弱小,而强大到一定程度后,我们甚至可以改造世界——这样的力量,难道还不够美吗？” However Kohl actually saw in addition the same more beautiful thing. 不过科尔却看到了另一样更美的事物。 Was saying the female of these words just like sending out the indescribable ray, the azure long hair welcomed the flying snow to fluctuate, exceeds the scenery of any nature. That wiped ruddily reduced several points of past swift and fierce, making the fair profile become incomparably vivid. 说着这番话的女子宛若散发出难以言喻的光芒,青色的长发迎着飞雪起伏,胜过任何自然之景。那抹红润更是消减了几分以往的凌厉,令白皙的侧脸变得无比生动。 In his heart raised suddenly an intense impulsion-- he wants to know, the world in Edith Kant eye, what is? 他心中陡然升起了一股强烈的冲动——他想知道,伊蒂丝.康德眼中的世界,到底是什么样的？ ...... …… „Leaves, the oil!” “出、出油啦！” With No. 1 tower nearby cheers, the crowd is in a tumult gradually. 随着一号塔附近的欢呼声,人群渐渐骚动起来。 „What left?” “出什么了？” „Heard that seems the oil!” “听说似乎是油！” „Used to explode the dough?” “用来炸面饼的？” „Where can, what in the gathering place is piling is the coal, is not the fat.” “哪能呢,场子里堆着的是煤炭,又不是肥肉。” „What manages it to leave is anything, since is the thing that Your Majesty wants, the certain significance is extraordinary.” “管它出的是什么,既然是陛下想要的东西,一定意义非凡。” „Therefore we can celebrate?” “所以我们可以庆祝了？” „Yes, Your Majesty long live!” “是啊,陛下万岁！” „Your Majesty long live!” “陛下万岁！” Also had more person joining to cheer the ranks quickly, even if the significance of their completely not clear this fractionating tower, did not hinder to share this at this moment joyfully. 很快又有更多的人加入了欢呼行列,哪怕他们完全不清楚这座分馏塔的意义,也不妨碍在此刻分享这一快乐。 The making a big noise acoustic image tide spreads generally, short in minutes, entire refinement area then boiling gets up, under such momentum, formidable Months of Demons as if removed the past color. 喧腾声像浪潮一般扩散开来,短短数分钟内,整个提炼区便沸腾起来,在这样的声势下,令人生畏的邪魔之月仿佛都褪去了昔日的色彩。 Looks black and white column of smoke that the river bank is raising, as well as in silver high tower that in the smog and snowflake are and out, in the Roland heart feels the sense of achievement that has been hard to speak. 望着河岸边升起的黑白烟柱,以及在烟雾与雪花中忽隐忽现的银色高塔,罗兰心中充满了难以言说的成就感。 If occupies thick smoke on Northern Slope Mountain to represent the coal iron compound with the achievement of first Industrial Revolution, column of smoke that then here leaps, then means that a new time will soon arrive. 如果说盘踞在北坡山上的浓烟代表着煤铁复合与第一次工业革命的成果,那么这里腾起的烟柱,则意味着一个新的时代即将到来。
