#276: New cannon research and development

Lucia brings the ore to see on the His Highness the Prince road, near the ear was still winding around the Nightingale words. 露西亚带着矿石去见王子殿下的路上,耳边仍回绕着夜莺的话。 Has saying that she was revealed by the opposite party the confident manner of shocked. 不得不说,她被对方表露出来的坦然态度所震撼到了。 Although not greatly clear sentimental matter, but witch and prince...... Basic on impossible in the same place? Then, should not hide own thoughts in bottom of heart cautiously, doesn't make the opposite party know? 虽然不大明白感情这回事,但女巫和王子……根本就不可能在一起吧？如此一来,不是应该将自己的心思小心翼翼藏在心底,不让对方知道才好吗？ Moreover, why including as her of audience will think to be red in the face, awkward extremely? 而且,为什么连作为听众的她都会觉得面红耳赤,尴尬万分？ In stands in office entrance take a deep breath, Lucia pushes the door to enter. 站在办公室门口深深吸了口气,露西亚推门入内。 „Your highness, I brought the ore.” “殿下,我把矿石带来了。” „Makes me have a look,” Roland had a yawn to say. “让我看看,”罗兰打了个哈欠道。 This Border Town's ruler looks like with usually is the same, the appearance of having a drowsy look should be just from the midday nap sober shortly, he by the chairback, the manner nature, the tone is amiable, like that is not completely swift and fierce like other noble. 这位边陲镇的统治者看起来就和平时一样,睡眼惺忪的模样应该是刚从午睡中清醒没多久,他靠在椅背上,神态自然,语气随和,完全不像其他贵族那般凌厉。 The Lucia inexplicable nervousness also relaxed much, she takes out these from the leather bag in the ore pellet that in Northern Slope Mine discovers, one by one is placed on the desk. 露西亚莫名紧张的心情也随之放松了不少,她从皮囊里取出那些在北坡矿山里发现的矿石颗粒,一一摆在办公桌上。 After the ability decomposes, these pellets seem the similar appearances, the luster is not silver white is grayish white, probably also only then learned and accomplished His Highness the Prince can distinguish this is any ore. 经过能力分解后,这些颗粒看上去都差不多模样,色泽不是银白就是灰白,大概也只有博学多才的王子殿下才能分辨出这到底是什么矿石了。 Sees only the prince to knit the brows to size up for quite a while, placed in the palm to heft hefting, was looking at carefully to the back sunlight carefully, finally waved saying that „cough cough, these ores I will give Mr. Schuire to distinguish, you continued the Northern Slope backyard to practice your ability, could not have consulted to Anna.” 只见王子皱眉打量半天,一个个放在手心里掂了掂,又对着背后的阳光仔细端详一番,最后挥挥手道,“咳咳,这些矿石我会交给斯垂尔先生去辨别的,你继续去北坡后院练习自己的能力吧,有不懂的就向安娜请教。” „......”, Doesn't your highness know? Lucia lowers the head to say hastily, „is.” “……”咦,连殿下也不认识吗？露西亚连忙低头道,“是。” When she is about to leave the office, Roland also stopped by calling out her. 就在她准备离开办公室时,罗兰又叫住了她。 „Was right, your this examination result is good, 68 sections in ninth. Learned for one month to have such performance from everybody is really not easy, must maintain. When......” his paused, „next test, I hope that the bell can also participate with everybody together.” “对了,你这次测验成绩不错,68分排在第九位。才跟着大家学习了一个月就能有这样的表现实属不易,要一直保持下去。还有……”他顿了顿,“下一次测试时,我希望铃也能和大家一同参与。” „Yes!” Lucia should say excitedly. “是！”露西亚兴奋地应道。 ******************* ******************* Looks that after the little girl bows happily goes, Roland looks at the metal particle on table to sigh. 看着小姑娘开心地鞠躬而去后,罗兰望着桌上的金属颗粒叹了口气。 Oneself were too naive, thought after decomposing the simple substance, perhaps which mineral lode can find out in Northern Slope Mine to contain, however the fact made him understand huge gap-- these stones between the mechanical engineering and geology will split up three to four metals finally, inventory most that booths can think that was this metalloid ore, but they almost no other two in the luster and shape sent, for example the iron, aluminum, magnesium and potassium in the high-purity condition were the silver-white metals, wants extremely to be really difficult through the naked eye discernment. 自己还是太天真了,满以为分解成单质后,兴许就能摸清楚北坡矿洞里到底都蕴藏着哪些矿脉,然而事实却让他明白了机械工程与地质学之间的巨大鸿沟——这些石头最终都会分化出三到四种金属,存留量最多的那摊可以认为是该类金属的矿石,但它们在色泽上和形状上几乎别无二致,例如铁、铝、镁、钾在高纯度状态下都是银白色金属,想通过肉眼辨别实在太过困难。 Gives chief alchemist to solve this issue, after all confirms materials behavior to blindly guess that through the chemical reaction is much more reasonable. 还是将这一问题交给首席炼金师去解决吧,毕竟通过化学反应来验证材料特性比自己瞎猜要靠谱得多。 Handles this matter, Roland pulls out a paper, how starts to plan to deal with this year's Months of Demons. 将这件事处理完毕,罗兰抽出一张纸,开始计划如何应对今年的邪魔之月。 Saw that in the summer must finish quickly, the autumn three months are his final setup time, except for Evil Beast that west the resistance intrudes on, but must momentarily pay attention east Timothy and Church. Does not compare the last year of having too many problems to tackle, the population and income that now he governs had the significant growth, the iron-smelting output gradually were also enhancing, witch were more several, had confidence Western Region completely becomes together the insurmountable impregnable bastion. 眼看夏天很快就要结束,秋季的三个月便是他最后的准备时间,除了抵御西面进犯的邪兽,还得随时留心东面的提费科与教会。不比捉襟见肘的上一年,如今他治下的人口和收入都有了大幅增长,炼铁产量也在逐步提高,女巫更是多了十几位,完全有把握将西境变为一道不可逾越的铜墙铁壁。 According to the last year of operational experience, to the city wall threatens in a big way without a doubt is Evil Beast Hybrid(s), when specially the enemy has the heavy/thick carapace, when the bullet is difficult to put on, either nears uses dynamite, either sends witch to go out of town the combat, that countermeasure, the risk will enhance greatly. 根据上一年的作战经验,对城墙威胁最大的毫无疑问是混合种邪兽,特别当敌人拥有厚重甲壳,枪弹难穿时,要么抵近使用炸药包,要么派女巫出城作战,无论是那种对策,危险性都会大幅提高。 Moreover, similar enemy who he faces mostly is primarily the cavalry and infantry, has not experienced seige weapon of this time. If the opposite party can build the torsion trebuchet, perhaps or more advanced counterweight trebuchet, before oneself will meet not small trouble-- after all, installs the cannon fire downward to be very inconvenient, each time when filling needs to raise the muzzle, the shell is easy to tumble out the barrel. 另外,他面对的同类敌人大多是以骑兵和步兵为主,还未见识过这个时代的攻城武器。如果对方能架起扭力投石机,或者更先进的配重投石机,自己恐怕会遇上不小的麻烦——毕竟前装火炮向下射击十分不便,每次装填时需要将炮口重新扬起,炮弹还容易滚出炮膛。 Develops more formidable cannon to be imperative. 开发一种更强大的火炮势在必行。 Roland is thinking, target that will need lists item by item on the paper. 罗兰思索着,将自己需要的指标一条条列在纸上。 First, it should have enough firing distance and might, can penetrate the Evil Beast Hybrid's carapace beyond one kilometer, next, after it must be the load, can adjust the angle of pitch freely, simultaneously has the ability of fast fire. Finally, to reduce redundant research and development time, should consider that an artillery multipurpose, can be used as the fixed fort to suppress the enemy, can draw to the ship on directly, treats as in the future shallow water heavy gunship main weapon. 首先,它应该有足够的射程和威力,能在一千米外击穿混合种邪兽的甲壳,其次,它必须是后装弹药,可以自由调整俯仰角,同时具备快速射击的能力。最后,为了减少重复研发时间,在设计时应考虑一炮多用,即可以作为固定炮台压制敌人,也可以直接拉到船上,当作将来浅水重炮舰的主要武器。 Therefore it should be a heavy artillery of heavy-caliber and long barrel. 所以它应该是一门大口径、长身管的重炮。 What Roland first thinks is on the battleship these 15-16 cuns (2.5 cm) colossi, the firing distance reaches as high as dozens kilometers, a fire can dig out several meters gulf on the ground, but he overruled this impractical idea quickly. Although processing does not have the issue, but the only Border Town present material level, in ten artillery at least nine artillery meet the burst in the bore, even if thickens the pipe wall to over one meter, thing that makes also because is unable to move to lose the use value. 罗兰首先想到的是战列舰上那些十五六寸的庞然大物,射程高达数十公里,一次射击就能在地上挖出好几米的深坑,但他很快否决了这个不切实际的想法。加工方面虽然没有问题,可单凭边陲镇现在的材料水平,十炮里至少有九炮会炸膛,就算把管壁加厚到一米以上,造出来的东西也会因为无法挪动而失去实用价值。 He now is most only to produce the purity high wrought iron and performance ordinary steel products, the plan conservatively selects. 他现在最多只能生产出纯度较高的熟铁和性能普通的钢材,方案还是保守点好。 Roland decided the caliber finally in " 152 millimeters " in this sacred digit. 罗兰最终将口径定在了「152毫米」这个神圣的数字上。 cannon uses the vertical wedge breech block, is similar to the gate that can skid together up and down, when puts down reveals the barrel, loads the shell, after upward replacement, realizes the block system, making the gunpowder fuel gas erupt forward. Compared with the spiral breech block and transverse wedge breech block, its firing speed is fastest . Moreover the principle is also very simple, its mechanism in him already skillfully. 火炮采用立楔式炮闩,类似于一道可以上下滑动的门,放下时露出炮膛,装填炮弹,向上复位后实现闭锁,使火药燃气向前喷发。比起螺式炮闩和横楔式炮闩,它的击发速度最快,而且原理也十分简单,其机械结构在他心里早已滚瓜烂熟。 However wants to realize the fast firing, cannon must provide in drawing back the counterrecoil organization, simply speaking likely is two air pumps, packing fat liquor, for driving spring or gas. When muzzle back seat pulls two casings of connecting rods, simultaneously compresses the fat liquor and recuperator, the fat liquor is used in the cushion recoil, the driving spring completes to gather the strength, after bombing gun tube driving back home position. 不过想要实现快速击发,火炮还得配备驻退复进机构,简单来说像是两根打气筒,一根填充油液,一根为复进簧或者气体。炮口后座时拉扯两筒连杆,同时压缩油液和复进机,油液用于缓冲后坐力,复进簧则完成蓄力,在炮击完毕后将炮管推回原位。 Finally is the shell. 最后是炮弹。 Since used the Saint to teach artillery, naturally cannot satisfy the shoddy solid iron ball and paper-insulated shrapnel again fires at-- Roland stemming from the safe consideration, decided that the simultaneous development two types installed the shell surely, one type was to enlarge the bullet of version, the warhead for the solid metal \; Another type is the explosive warhead of belt contact fuse, is the artillery of later generation. After all the latter has certain technical difficulty, needs the reliability of repeated test blasting fuse, is unable to guarantee before Months of Demons assembles the army, whether there is therefore mister pre-natal solves the problem is very necessary. Even if ball bullet, is used to cope with motion slow thick armor Evil Beast and fixed attacking a city instrument is also easy. 既然用上了圣教炮,自然不能再满足于拙劣的实心铁球和纸包霰弹射击——罗兰出于稳妥考虑,决定同时开发两种定装炮弹,一种是放大版的子弹,弹头为实心金属\;另一种是带触发引信的爆炸弹头,也就是后世的榴弹炮。毕竟后者存在一定技术难度,需要反复试验引信的可靠性,无法保证在邪魔之月前装配部队,所以先生产前者来解决有无问题是十分必要的。即便是实心弹头,用来对付移动缓慢的厚甲邪兽和固定的攻城器械也是轻而易举。 Naturally, that type of shell, needs to consume massive smokeless gunpowder. Before two acids have not realized large-scale production, new-style cannon can only be the special weapon use, wanted to make a full fire to cover is impossible realizes. 当然,无论是那种炮弹,都需要消耗大量无烟火药。在两酸没有实现大规模生产前,新式火炮仅能作为特种武器使用,想要打出一场酣畅淋漓的炮火覆盖是不可能实现了。 At this moment, personal guard pushed the door to walk come in. 就在这时,亲卫推门走了进来。 „Your highness, confidential letters from Kingdom Capital.” “殿下,有一封来自王都的密信。” Roland puts down the quill pen, disassembles the envelope. The letter has not signed from beginning to end, the handwriting is also very strange, but the content of a few words indicated merely this letter is Tasa mails without doubt. 罗兰放下鹅毛笔,拆开信封。信件从头到尾没有署名,字迹也十分陌生,但仅仅一句话的内容表明这封信无疑是塔萨寄来的。 " About thousand people teams leave Kingdom Capital today, goes forward to the Western Region direction. " 「一支千人左右的队伍于今日离开王都,向西境方向前进。」
