Continued nearly one week of solid machine test flight to make Aerial Knight school take key one step of growing out of nothing, prepared the training work of student also finally to straighten out, but its influence was not only restricted in school. 持续近一周的实机试飞可谓令空骑士学院迈出了从无到有的关键一步,预备学员的培训工作也终于步入正轨,但它的影响远不只限于学院之内。 In fact, some the same day people noted to circle sky over southern district „giant kite”-- freely Tilly occasionally also will drive The Unicorn to pass over gently and swiftly the feudal lord castle, but the majority of times will elect to test in the unpopulated area, in addition people's natural awe to the castle area, enabling most people only to hear existence of airplane, but have not witnessed. 事实上,当天就有人注意到了盘旋在南城区上空的“巨大风筝”——尽管提莉偶尔也会驾驶独角兽号掠过领主城堡,但大部分时候都会选在无人区进行测试,加上民众对城堡区的天然敬畏,使得绝大多数人只听说过飞机的存在,而没有亲眼目睹过。 Changed into Aerial Knight school not to have the worry in this aspect, the rubberneck went to Southern District, encircled by the path, was waiting for the airplane ran out of that flash of courtyard wall. From the beginning also is only restricted in the shoal port and factory district nearby resident, but along with rapid spreading of news, to third day, around school „had been eaten melon people” to surround by one crowd. Whenever there is an airplane to appear in everybody's field of vision, in the crowd will then erupt the warm call and exclamation, what as if rushes to the blue sky is ordinary. 换成空骑士学院则没了这方面的顾虑,好奇者纷纷前往南区,围在道路两边,等待着飞机冲出院墙的那一刹那。一开始还仅限于浅滩港和工厂区附近的居民,不过随着消息的迅速传开,到了第三天,学院周围已被一群“吃瓜群众”包围起来。每当有飞机出现在大家的视野,人群中便会爆发出热烈的呼声和惊叹,仿佛冲上蓝天的是自己一般。 Honey seizes the opportunity, takes «Miracle Reappearance» as the title, with inspection test that the large page layout reported in school carried on, and enclosed the clear recent photo of biplane, let " Greycastle Weekly report » sales volume instantaneously rushed to a new peak. 蜜糖更是看准时机,以《奇迹再现》为标题,用大幅版面报道了学院中正在进行的考核测试,并附上了双翼机的清晰近照,瞬间让《灰堡周报》的销量冲上了一个新高峰。 Perhaps even in Neverwinter City also raised purchase tide-- is realized opportunity that contained, after the weekly report sold, many outside merchants started to pay the high price to purchase the newspaper from the people hand, underfunded asked the person to excerpt, including airplane picture also one and handpainted, for a while caused the market paper was expensive. 甚至无冬城中还掀起了一阵收购潮——兴许是意识到其中蕴藏的商机,当周报销售完后,不少外地商人开始出高价从民众手中收购报纸,资金不足的则请人摘抄,连飞机照片也一并手绘,一时引得市场纸贵。 Under this round imposing disturbance, the Aerial Knight given name has spread over entire Neverwinter City finally. 在这轮轰轰烈烈的风波下,空骑士的名号终于传遍了整个无冬城。 Roland also one week later, obtains the summary report that Tilly has made. 罗兰也于一周后,得到了提莉做出的总结报告。 197 prepare in the student, grand total has 150 people through the verification, in other words, during entire inspection, altogether has the crashed plane accident that 47 cause operate misses have caused. Considers the first batch of test flight machine, only then four, were equal to each airplane fell 11 on average much times. 197名预备学员中,总计有150人通过审核,也就是说,整个考核期间共发生了47起因操作失误而导致的坠机事故。考虑到首批试飞机只有四架,相当于每架飞机平均摔了11次还多。 This sounds somewhat to be as if inconceivable, but Roland is at heart clear, the structures of these airplanes are simple, weight is lithe, so long as has not injured to arrive at the engine, quick can restore completely. In addition most crashed planes occur in the landing stage, is not the speed is too slow the entire racket on the runway, was the speed is too about to hit the landing wheel, rub by the underbelly stops, such damage in the biplane time was the routine matter, towed to patch is a good machine. 这听起来似乎有些不可思议,但罗兰心里清楚,这些飞机的结构简单、重量轻盈,只要没有伤到发动机,很快就能修复完全。加上大多数坠机都发生在降落阶段,不是速度太慢整个拍在跑道上,就是速度太快撞断了起落轮、靠机腹摩擦才停下,这样的损伤在双翼机时代都是常事,拖回去修修补补又是一架好机。 Naturally when gets the patch the airplane always might as well just leave the plant like that easily-to-use, Tilly also mentioned, two aircraft statuses that at present can also fly dropped substantially, are hard to meet the training requirement again, to guarantee the quality of teaching, school takes a number of new biplanes urgently needed. Moreover as a result of the promotion of training content, as well as the increased enrollment of following personnel, four airplanes was unable the meet requirement. the synthesis training efficiency and actual needs, at least must provide 12 to over 15. 当然打上补丁的飞机总不如刚出厂时那般好用,提莉也提到,目前还能飞的两架飞机状态已大幅下降,难以再满足训练要求,为了保证教学质量,学院急需要一批新的双翼机。另外由于训练内容的提升,以及后续人员的扩招,四架飞机已无法满足要求。综合培训效率与实际所需来看,至少得提供12到15架以上。 This is also a quantity of later generation flight squadron. 这亦是后世一个飞行大队的数量。 Roland discovered that no matter this report were reading horizontally sets upright was looking, between the lines was disclosing a few words-- " I, the air force, takes up a collection. " 罗兰发现不管把这篇报告横着看竖着看,字里行间都透露着一句话——「我,空军,打钱。」 After putting down the report, he does not know whether to laugh or cry shook the head, can only say that Tilly really has the talent in this aspect, just had seen through the essence of air force in the initial steps. In fact wants to form a qualified flying unit, must be possible to supply the massive population of screening, as well as to have the airplane that enough uses to fall, both are indispensable. 放下报告后,他哭笑不得地摇了摇头,只能说提莉确实有这方面的天赋,刚在起步阶段就看穿了空军的本质。事实上想要组建一支合格的飞行部队,既要有可供筛选的大量人口,又要有足够多用来摔的飞机,两者缺一不可。 Now Neverwinter City each profession urgently needed manpower, an airplane of brigade in a short time obviously is unable to realize, can only make Anna take your time to collect. 如今无冬城各个行业都急需人手,一个大队的飞机在短期内显然无法实现,只能让安娜慢慢来凑了。 Moreover besides Tilly, Ministry of General Staff has also submitted an observation, writing Edith Kant. 另外除了提莉外,总参部也提交了一份观察报告,撰写者正是伊蒂丝.康德。 The report is very brief, but some content quite meanings. 报告十分简短,但内容颇有些意思。 Pearl of the Northern Lands believes that so long as utilizes appropriately, Aerial Knight might the situation of change war in the future, even is becomes about the victory and defeat decisive force. She hopes that can reassign a group of people to form the research team from Ministry of General Staff, enters school to understand this new weapon performance, in order to use in later plan. She also has formed meanwhile in one's mind some tactical rules that only then Aerial Knight can accomplish, want to carry on independent speaking in detail with Roland, its impatient mood leaps on the paper. 北地珍珠认为,只要运用得当,空骑士将有可能改变未来战争的局势,甚至是成为左右胜负的决定性力量。她希望能从总参部抽调一批人成立研究小组,进驻学院内部了解这种新武器的性能,以便能在之后的谋划中用上。同时她还构思了一些只有空骑士才能办到的战法,想要与罗兰进行单独的详谈,其迫不及待的情绪可谓跃于纸上。 Probably Edith was in the Neverwinter City high level the airplane to the average person who most paid attention to--, in seeing to have that moment of volume production ability to associate in the application to war, did not say that the plan feasibility had many, the light was this keen then really makes the person gasp in admiration. 大概伊蒂丝算是无冬城高层里对飞机最为关注的普通人了——在看到具备批量生产能力的那一刻就能联想到战争中的应用,不说方案可行性有多少,光是这份敏锐便着实让人叹服。 In Roland planned when summons Pearl of the Northern Lands to chat her to the view of Aerial Knight, out the office has broadcast the personal guard sound, „Your Majesty, Ministry of Construction Minister Sir Karl van Bate seeks an interview.” 就在罗兰打算召北地珍珠来谈谈她对空骑士的看法时,办公室门外传来了亲卫的声音,“陛下,建设部部长卡尔.梵伯特大人求见。” The hand of his holding down telephone received, „lets his come in.” 他按住电话的手又收了回来,“让他进来吧。” „Yes.” “是。” „Your Majesty, after” Karl enters office, respectfully good a ritual, „your " miracle building " was completed smoothly.” “陛下,”卡尔走进办公室后恭敬地行了一礼,“您的「奇迹大楼」顺利竣工了。” ...... …… Stood the side looks up to the palatial main body downstairs the skirt, Roland truly feels a charm of marvelous sight word. 站在裙楼下方仰望巍峨的主体,罗兰确实感受到了奇观一词的魅力。 The expenditure nearly two years, thousands gold royal, sufficiently constructs three Scarlet Water Bridge steel products, as well as can pile becomes the concrete of hill, enables this building finally to complete. If no Lotus, Hummingbird and other witch the assistance, the manpower and natural resource that it consumes must again on many several times. 前后花费近两年时间,数以万计的金龙,足以建造三座赤水桥的钢材,以及能堆成小山的混凝土,才使得这座大楼最终得以完成。如果不是有莲、蜂鸟等女巫的协助,它消耗的人力和资源还得再多上几倍。 The marvelous sight injures the country does not stop is teases, but similarly, after it constructs to shock that the Neverwinter people bring, is unequalled-- this point from wells up to watch the people of ceremony marking the completion to be possible absolutely in all directions to see. 奇观误国绝不止是一句戏谑,但同样的,当它建完后给无冬人民带来的震撼,也绝对是无与伦比的——这一点从四面八方涌来观看竣工仪式的民众就可看出。 The so-called disparity, is clearer under contrast. Compares the surrounding big piece two to three residential districts, reaches as high as 56 meters, has 15 miracle buildings almost to be called outshines others. Even if sees Roland of tall buildings, bottom of heart could not bear raise meaning of the rushing. 所谓的差距,正是在对比之下才更为清晰。相较周围大片两到三层的住宅区,高达56米、拥有15层的奇迹大楼几乎称得上是一枝独秀。哪怕是见惯了高楼大厦的罗兰,心底也忍不住升起了一股澎湃之意。 As the Neverwinter City new terrestrial reference, it is not a simple useless face-saving project, but condensed various new technologies the work of peak. For example to the draining water issue, Karl used has established the means of multistage water tank in the floor, solves the difficult problem that the elevation difference was too big and cannot pump water. 作为无冬城的新地标,它并非一个简单无用的面子工程,而是凝聚了各种新技术的巅峰之作。比如给排水问题,卡尔就采用了在楼层中设置多级水箱的办法,来解决高差太大、抽不上水的难题。 Moreover main building four corners are also installed with four external „elevator”, their Steam engine actuation by the basement, can one time carry dozens people to travel between the attic and floor. Although cannot achieve likely modern elevator that intelligence, must arrange the specialist to control to operate, is unable to achieve each building to stop, but regarding this time, was still a design of praising to the heavens. Especially promoted the ladder to use the massive landing glasses, travelled by at the same time can also the bird's eye view urban beauty, could be called completely is one type enjoys. 另外主楼四角还安装有四台外挂的“电梯”,它们由地下室的蒸汽机驱动,可以一次搭载数十人往返于顶楼与底层之间。尽管做不到像现代电梯那么智能,必须安排专人控制运行,也无法做到每楼皆停,但对于这个时代来说,仍是一项叹为观止的设计。特别是提升梯采用了大量落地玻璃,搭乘的同时还能俯瞰城市美景,完全称得上是一种享受了。 „Your Majesty, said that two, after” is on the skirt building, Karl caresses the chest saying that „your people are waiting for your appearance.” “陛下,说两句吧,”登上裙楼后,卡尔抚胸道,“您的子民都在等着您的出现。” Roland nods, arrives at the railing to wave toward the under dense and numerous people. 罗兰点点头,走到围栏边朝下方密密麻麻的群众挥了挥手。 The crowd has exuded warm cheers immediately. 人群顿时发出了热烈的欢呼声。 „Neverwinter City people, good afternoon.” “各位无冬城的人民,下午好。” „Today is the day that the miracle building completes, it has created innumerable, the history will certainly remember on this day-- but here I want to say is not its significance great, but is your most issue of concern, who comes it? Or...... Does it construct for whom?” “今天是奇迹大楼建成的日子,它创造了无数个世界之最,历史必将记住这一天——但在此我想说的并不是它的意义有多伟大,而是你们最关心的问题,谁来住它？或者说……它为谁而建？” „noble? No, Greycastle has cancelled has enfeoffed the noble authority \; Royal family? Naturally is not, I do not need such big place to put my bed. The answer is actually very simple, that is Neverwinter City resident-- is also your everybody.” “贵族？不,灰堡已取消了分封贵族的权力\;王室？当然也不是,我并不需要这么大的地方来放我的卧床。答案其实很简单,那便是无冬城的居民——也就是你们各位。” „Was you have created miracle building, you can also enjoy this miracle without a doubt!” “是你们创造了奇迹大楼,你们毫无疑问也能享受这个奇迹！” „Each room in administrative hall with honest price tag displayed, will not need the privilege, not to need the family background, so long as takes the resident identification card, can apply to purchase, moves in this to be doomed by the construction of going down in history!” “每个房间都会在行政厅明码标价,不需要特权、也不需要家世,只要带上居民身份证,就可以申请购买,入住这座注定被载入史册的建筑！” The voice just fell, in the crowd then erupted the deafening slogan. 话音刚落,人群中便爆发出了震耳欲聋的呐喊声。 „Your Majesty long live!” “陛下万岁！” „Neverwinter City long live!” “无冬城万岁！” When sound breath, Roland continues the high sound said slightly, „now, I will light the torch of roof, whenever from now on the dark night will arrive, it then can flaming ignite, will become sky over Neverwinter the most dazzling star light!” 等到声音稍息,罗兰才继续高声道,“现在,我将点燃楼顶的火炬,今后每当黑夜降临,它便会熊熊燃起,成为无冬上空最耀眼的星光！” In call that the people move mountains, he leads City Hall one line to enter „elevator”, has mounted the roof in main building. 在众人排山倒海的呼声中,他带着市政厅一行人进入“电梯”,登上了主楼的楼顶。 The roof center is placing a giant stone basin, the middle has been filled with jet black fat liquor-- this type of viscous heavy oil after the special handling, not only can long time burn, will also not send out the odor and mist and dust, is the long bright torch most appropriate fuel. 楼顶中央摆放着一个巨大的石盆,中间盛满了漆黑的油液——这种粘稠的重油经过特殊处理,不仅能长时间燃烧,而且不会发出恶臭与烟尘,算是长明火炬最合适的燃料。 „Your Majesty,” Nightingale handed over a flare. “陛下,”夜莺递上了一支火把。 Roland nods, received the flare, walks toward the stone basin slowly. 罗兰点点头,接过火把,缓缓向石盆走去。 In his mind has as if resounded gentle music tune, as well as that familiar lines-- 他脑海里仿佛响起了和缓的曲乐,以及那熟悉的台词—— " From the seed of underwater first life...... You experienced many...... " 「从水下第一个生命的萌芽开始……您已经历了许多……」 He raises the corners of the mouth, the dangling flare. 他扬起嘴角,垂下火把。 If this is the flame that human civilization continues, then hopes that it will never extinguish. 如果这是人类文明延续的火光,那么希望它永远不会熄灭。
