15 kms away. 15公里外。 The stage that the steel frame builds stands erect in the white snowfield, seems some are not the creation-- neat crowded exposed structure of this time, is hanging the wire netting that the crossbeam and steel wire of ice cone, as well as surround in depth likely, not airtight reveals the industrial the aesthetic sense. 钢架垒起来的高台矗立于白茫茫的雪原中,看上去有些不像是这个时代的造物——规整密集的裸露结构、挂着冰锥的横梁与钢索、以及层层包围的铁丝网,无不透露出工业的美感。 Several hundred people gather round busily its on busy, is doing the preparatory work before detonation. 数百人围着其忙上忙下,做着引爆前的准备工作。 Because entire principle installation weight close ten tons, Hummingbird went to the frontline, therefore is unable to carry on the final assembly in Neverwinter City, can only drag the parts distribution to the test explosion field, the field assembly. 由于整个原理装置重量接近十吨,蜂鸟又去了前线,因此无法在无冬城进行总装,只能将零件分配拖到试爆场,现场组装起来。 Is good is very simple when its structure itself, in addition design then had considered demand that the resolution ships, the request to the worker is not high. 好在它的结构本身就十分简单,加上设计时便考虑过拆分运送的需求,对工人的要求并不算高。 This is also „Splendor of the Sun” and other weapon difference--, even if already the prepare the location and equipment, need to spend on 1-2 days of time to complete the final arrangement as before. 这也是“太阳之辉”和其他武器的不同之处——哪怕已经布置好了场地与设备,依旧需要花上一两天时间来完成最后的筹备。 This moment Roland and Anna are standing in the tower top, is directing the assembly work of installment. 此刻罗兰和安娜正站在塔顶,指挥着装置的组装工作。 „Then is No. 3 core part, the attention connection direction, careful clash!” “接下来是三号核心部件,注意接口方向,小心磕碰！” „All people listen to my password! Third, two and one!” “所有人听我口令！三、二、一！” Along with the worker Captain worker's chant, a silver-white circular cylinder had been thrust in the installment slowly. 随着工人队长的号子,一个银白色的圆柱体被缓缓推入了装置中。 Until these step is completed, Roland slowly relaxed. 直到这一步完成,罗兰才缓缓松了口气。 Column within the body thinks , the main energy of this test explosion originates the-- two subpackages uranium-235 barrels, the monolith quality is 20 kilograms. When both link, will provide 40 kilograms total charge qualities. This value must be lower than 53 kilograms critical limit, theoretically will not have the fierce fission reaction, but before him such that said that critical is not a fixed invariable value. 圆柱体内装着的,正是此次试爆的主要能量来源——两块分装的铀235柱体,其中单块质量皆为20公斤。当两者结合在一起时,将提供40公斤的总装药质量。这个数值要低于53公斤的临界极限,理论上并不会发生剧烈的裂变反应,但就像他之前所说的那样,临界并不是一个固定不变的数值。 Shape, temperature, pressure and other conditions may enable this value to change, this also purely depends on pile of materials „nuclear weapon” almost does not have the reason of actual combat value. For example spheroidal state next 52 kilograms uranium-235 seem like can also maintain stable, but that in fact is the volcano that will be ready and soon erupt. Even if a little hits or vibrates, may make it cross critical. 形状、温度、压力等条件都有可能使得该数值发生变化,这也是纯粹靠堆材料的“核武器”几乎没有实战价值的原因。比如球体状态下52公斤铀235看似也能保持安定,但那实际上已是一个蓄势待发、即将喷发的火山。哪怕有点撞击或震动,都有可能使其越过临界。 Similarly, with many small uranium slugs, although is safe, but will also make the detonation difficulty increase-- the instance that doubled and re-doubled, when several uranium slugs are in one, its whole truly can surpass the critical point, the high temperature that but the fission reaction has will make the uranium slug inflate rapidly, reduced its density in disguised form, but the fierce explosion will push to leave to the distant place the raw material, thus makes the response interrupt. 同样的,用多个小型铀块虽然安全,但也会使得引爆难度成倍增加——当数个铀块合为一体的瞬间,其整体确实能超过临界点,可裂变反应所产生的高温会令铀块迅速膨胀,变相降低了其密度,而剧烈爆炸又会将原料向远处推离,从而使反应中断。 In brief, a reasonable configuration not only need make the uranium element achieve critical, but must maintain at this condition as far as possible for a long time, can play the fission reaction proper might. 总而言之,一个合理的构型不仅要让铀元素达到临界,还得尽可能长时间维持在这个状态,才能发挥出裂变反应应有的威力。 Reason that Gun-type configuration is called spear/gun, lies in its principle and ancient flintlock is quite similar, through the detonation of blasting explosive, a uranium slug pushes to another uranium slug fiercely. Under the huge pressure, the density of uranium slug will increase rapidly, even if the quality is slightly low, can cross the critical point. 枪式构型之所以被称为枪式,在于其原理和古老的火枪极为相似,通过炸药的引爆,一个铀块猛地推向另一个铀块。在巨大的压力下,铀块的密度会迅速增加,哪怕质量稍低,也能越过临界点。 The outer covering that after installing was joined, Anna spread the radioactive source warning signal seal to insert the rear connection of reservation one can personally. 当装置的外壳被接上后,安娜亲手将一罐涂有放射源警告标志的封装物插入了预留的尾部接口。 That is also the last key component of this test explosion. 那也是此次试爆的最后一个关键部件。 Has flash that Roland as if felt that on the face was been same by any, has stopped including the breath half racket. 有那么一瞬间,罗兰仿佛感到脸上被什么扎了一样,连呼吸都停顿了半拍。 " polonium-beryllium neutron source " . 「钋－铍中子源」。 Like the name, it can provide the massive free neutrons for the fission, is the method of most direct reduced marginal value. In the metal container of can, the laying aside has a size and table tennis ball of evacuation bulbus cordis-- each spheroid is similar, the core is a marble polonium ball, and was wrapped solid by the gold foil, but its surroundings is a honeycomb-shaped acupuncture needle piece. 就和名字一样,它能为裂变提供大量的自由中子,也是最直接减少临界值的方法。易拉罐似的金属容器内,放置有一排空心球——每个球体的大小和乒乓球相仿,核心是一个弹珠般的钋球,并被金箔包裹得严严实实,而它的周围则是一圈蜂窝状的铍片。 When the uranium slug bumps into , the racket will be breaking to pieces this bottom Xiaoguanzi situated in „barrel”, all hollow balls will be pressed by the violent blasting explosive fuel gas are also thinner than the paper, but after gold foil breakage, the acupuncture needle piece can with the polonium ball intimate post in the same place, overall accept the alpha particle that the latter emits, then the lasing leaves the several fold the neutron. 当铀块相撞时,也会连带着拍碎这个位于“枪管”底部的小罐子,所有空心球都会被暴烈的炸药燃气压得比纸还薄,而金箔破裂后,铍片会和钋球亲密的贴在一起,全盘接受后者放出的阿尔法粒子,进而激射出数倍的中子。 These neutrons can participate in uranium-235 fission reactions, the luck good words can catch up before the response terminates consumes several tenths raw material, drastically promotes the nuclear weapon might. 这些中子会参与到铀235的裂变反应中,运气好的话能赶在反应终止前多消耗几成原料,大幅提升核武器的威力。 As a result of polonium 210 half-lives, only then 138 days, therefore provides the replacement connection is the essential design. Moreover makes the neutron source keep in weapon for a long time is also the extremely dangerous procedure, so long as after all polonium-beryllium contacts can emit the neutron spontaneously, once the gold foil presents the breakage, its consequence is dreadful. 由于钋210的半衰期只有138天,所以提供更换接口是必不可少的设计。另外让中子源长时间留在武器内也是极为危险的做法,毕竟钋铍只要接触就能自发放出中子,一旦金箔出现破损,其后果不堪设想。 After polonium-beryllium neutron source loads principle installment, it from thing of the temperate being harmless, turns anytime had the monsters of possibility absorb all people. 将钋铍中子源装入原理装置后,它就从一件温和的无害之物,变成了随时有可能吞没现场所有人的怪物。 Although Roland knows that own feeling is only the misconception, the person impossible catches in the environment the change of neutron quantity, but his breath still subconsciously put lightly. 尽管罗兰知道自己的感受只是错觉,人不可能捕捉到环境里中子数量的变化,但他的呼吸依然下意识放轻了许多。 Arrived this step, principle installment has completed all preparatory work before detonation officially. 到这一步,原理装置才算是正式完成了引爆前的所有准备工作。 Anna has gripped his hand on own initiative. 安娜主动握住了他的手。 „Ordered.” “下令吧。” In opposite party gentle calm vision, Roland slightly nodded. 在对方平和沉稳的目光中,罗兰微微点了点头。 No matter the result how, the Splendor of the Sun plan has arrived finally this step. 不管结果如何,太阳之辉计划总算走到了这一步。 But after these step takes, human will go to a new domain. 而这一步迈出之后,人类将前往一个新的领域。 He looks to personal guard Sean, „passes on me to order, notice command headquarters, six hours of ignition reciprocal!” 他望向亲卫肖恩,“传我命令,通知指挥所,六小时点火倒数！” „As you bid, Your Majesty!” “遵命,陛下！” " 6 : 00 " 「6:00」 „---------------------” “呜—————呜—————呜—————呜——————” „No. 1 equipment was in the ignition due-out stage, redundant, No. 1 equipment was in the ignition due-out stage, asking in the field the personnel to pack the luggage immediately, leaves the field according to the drilling plan orderly! The attention, this is not the exercise, the test explosion field will close after one hour, all people must remove toward the safety zone before then!” “一号装置已进入点火待发阶段,重复,一号装置已进入点火待发阶段,请场内人员立刻收拾好行装,按照演练方案有序离场！注意,这不是演习,试爆场将在一个小时后关闭,所有人务必在此之前撤往安全地带！” The quick, scattered circular then together resounds through the audience with alarm sound. 很快,疏散通告便随着警报声一同响彻全场。 „In a big hurry quick, before everybody arrives at tower , the air-to-surface set, do not lag behind a person!” “快快快,大家到塔前空地集合,不要拉下一个人！” „Constructs two teams to count off, one, two and three......” “施工二队报数,一、二、三……” „Test explosion stage front door blocks!” “试爆台大门封锁！” „The God Punishment Witches squad whole staff arrive in full, start to lead to evacuate.” “神罚女巫小队全员到齐,开始带队撤离。” Tranquil snowfield as if boiling gets up, the shout of people complements with the redundant alarm sound repeatedly mutually, the atmosphere becomes is tight and dignified for a while. Everyone clear, they will soon witness an unprecedented experiment. 宁静的雪原仿佛沸腾起来,人们的呼喊声与一遍又一遍重复的警报声相互映衬,气氛一时变得紧张而凝重。每个人心里都清楚,他们即将见证一场前所未有的试验。 " 3 : 00 " 「3:00」 In the command headquarters, Roland and Anna pull out two keys, turned on the lap of control bench together. 指挥所里,罗兰和安娜掏出两把钥匙,一同打开了控制台的盖板。 When switches were pressed down, the green light in floor in turn has also shone. 当一个个开关被按下,台面上的绿灯也依次亮了起来。 „Main conducting wire is in the power transmission!” “主电缆正在送电！” „The Mystery Moon No. 1 work is normal, in load regulation rise.” “谜月一号工作正常,负载稳定上升中。” „Now cuts the line one.” “现在切换到线路一。” „Understood, the line one has put through, the principle installment power supply is normal!” “明白,线路一已接通,原理装置供电正常！” The observers are reporting revolution situation of detonation system loudly, when until the last green light shines, means that the electric current through pressure-rise continued repeatedly, conducts stage in 15 kms away. 观察员大声汇报着起爆系统的运转情况,直至最后一个绿灯亮起时,意味着电流已通过多次升压中续,传导到了15公里外的高台上。 " 1 : 00 " 「1:00」 Sky over the command headquarters has also sounded the warning, it means detonation procedure only remaining final one hours. 指挥所上空也拉响了警报,它意味着引爆程序只剩下最后的一小时。 The bunker windows and doors are all closed, the oil lamp also pinches out, avoids causing the accident/surprise because of the vibration. 掩体门窗悉数关闭,油灯也一个个掐灭,避免因震动而导致意外。 The Neverwinter high level entered the special observation room, according to the instruction of Roland, its outside set up the surface to be built the trapezoid, by better resistance shock-wave, but internal end had been deepened, under Original Carrier that huge body by accommodation. 无冬高层则进入了专门的观察室,根据罗兰的指示,它的外立面被砌成了梯形,以更好的抵御冲击波,而内部一端则被加深过,以容纳下原初载体那巨大的身躯。 Parsha and other Taquila witch waited there for some time. 帕莎等塔奇拉女巫已等候多时。 " 0 : 15 " 「0:15」 The weather faded out. 天色已渐暗。 Last round rapid alarm sound arrives finally. 最后一轮急促的警报声终于到来。 The high level, soldier or the worker, deferred to developed formerly practice the content to put on the black sunglasses of resistance glare. 无论是高层、士兵还是工人,都按照演先前的练内容戴上了抵御强光的黑色墨镜。 Although most people did not understand, why in this dim heavy snow day, but must wear the eyeglasses of this obstructing the view. 尽管大部分人并不理解,为何在这昏暗的大雪天,还要佩戴这幅阻碍视线的眼镜。 This is not looks to disappear. 这不是什么都看不见了嘛。 " 0 : 05 " 「0:05」 „From the bottom time, five minutes!” “倒数计时,五分钟！” When the circular sound resounds once more, the scene became a silence. 当通告声再次响起,现场已变得一片寂静。 All exchanges and discussions stopped, everyone is staring at a jet black front steadily, cannot help but has turned very quiet. 所有的交流和议论都已中止,每个人目不转睛地盯着一片漆黑的前方,不由自主地屏住了呼吸。 „Three minutes of reciprocal!” “三分钟倒数！” Roland felt that the palm secreted the thin perspiration. 罗兰感到掌心泌出了细汗。 Anna looked at his one eyes with a smile, has held him gently. 安娜笑着看了他一眼,轻轻牵住了他。 „One minute of reciprocal!” “一分钟倒数！” Another side also had a hand to extend, then the five fingers folded. 另一边也有只手伸了过来,接着五指相叠。 „Ten seconds of reciprocal!” “十秒倒数！” „Nine!” “九！” Although has no way to press down the detonation key somewhat to be a pity personally, but Roland knows that the road of this long historical evidence just started. 虽说没法亲自按下起爆键有些可惜,不过罗兰知道这条漫长的史实之路才刚刚开始。 „Three!” “三！” „Two!” “二！” „One!” “一！” „Detonation!” “起爆！” The distant place snowfield is quiet, as if anything has not had the-- time as if to solidify/coagulate in this moment, likely was for a long time, likely was only then short flickered. 远处雪原静悄悄的,似乎什么也没有发生——时间仿佛凝固在这一刻,像是过了许久,又像是只有短短的一瞬。 Afterward the extremely dazzling blue light blooms from the horizon together, has torn in an instant into shreds the present darkness! 随后一道极为耀眼的蓝光从地平线绽放,刹那间就撕碎了眼前的黑暗！
