Four days later, during Northern Slope Mine burns backyard. 四天后,北坡矿山烧制间后院。 The ground in courtyard dug two deep hole, each hole assumed the circular, on narrow under extended. The front segment inside diameter is about 20 centimeters, rear end inside diameter expands to 26 centimeters. These holes are Roland plan to be used for the mold of casting artillery embryo, the hole inner wall are baked by Anna, the surface layer soil agglutination becomes the whole, was similar to enclosed an outer covering. When barrel chamber toward below for casting obtains better pipe wall quality, more upward contains the dross and air bubble are more. The sizes of all caverns calculate through the shell, he remembers approximately historically the so-called six pounds artillery, eight pounds artillery names at the weight of shell, therefore irrigates several 12 pounds iron balls first, then adds the gun tube wall thickness to figure out the mold inside diameter according to the iron ball diameter. 院子里的地上挖好了两处深洞,每个洞都呈圆形,上窄下宽。前段内径约为20公分,后端内径扩大到26公分。这些洞便是罗兰打算用来浇铸炮胚的模具,洞的内壁已被安娜烘烤过一番,表层泥土烧结成整体,如同附上了一层外壳。药室朝下是为了浇铸时获得更好的管壁质量,越往上所含浮渣和气泡越多。所有洞穴的尺寸都是通过炮弹推算出来的,他大致记得历史上所谓的六磅炮、八磅炮是以炮弹的重量来命名,于是先浇出几个12磅的铁球,再根据铁球直径加炮管壁厚算出模具内径。 Under lacking situation of measuring tool, the Roland simply customizing standard, he intercepted one to suppose with oneself ring finger nail almost wide iron bar is the foundation unit, one centimeter, manufactured other sizes by this again the iron bars, and engraved the partition line. 在缺乏测量工具的情况下,罗兰干脆自定义标准,他截取了一段跟自己无名指指甲差不多宽的铁条来设为基础单位,一公分,再以此制作其他尺寸的铁条,并刻上分段线。 12 pounds iron ball diameters under the coarse hardcore straightedge survey, approximately are 12 centimeters, he decides as four centimeters the wall thickness of pipe thinnest place, rear end barrel chamber to prevent the burst in the bore, the wall thickness expands to seven centimeters, thus obtained the mold inside diameter. As for length , he although knows that cannon had a time of diameter saying, but there is impression also only the main artillery time of diameter of remaining battleship and master station tank, before antique installed the artillery, he has not known. 12磅的铁球直径在粗陋的铁杆直尺测量下,约为12公分,他将管壁厚度最薄处定为四公分,后端药室为了防止炸膛,壁厚扩大到七公分,从而得出了模具内径。至于长度,他虽然知道火炮有倍径一说,但有印象的也只剩下战列舰和主站坦克的主炮倍径,至于古董般的前装炮,他还真不知道。 Considered that the barrel is shorter, weight is lighter, more saves the material, the Roland big hand wielded, took one meter five this value. If the test fire effect is not satisfactory, later readjustment then it will be alright. 考虑到身管越短,重量越轻,也越省材料,罗兰大手一挥,取了一米五这个数值。如果试射效果不满意,以后再调整就行了。 When cannon was invented at first, and performs the powdered iron heal in wooden core material above the ring by the iron bar, reinforces, finally the core material in burning down barrel with the iron hoop again, like the storage wooden barrel. Roland knows certainly that this cannon has the easy air leakage burst in the bore risk, therefore has directly used the integral cast, the craft of boring lathe drill hole. Regarding the steam boring lathe, drills six pounds artillery to be also good, 12 pounds artillery, the difficulty does not have the essential difference. 火炮最初被发明出来时,是在木制芯材上环以铁条并加以铁粉合口,再用铁箍加固、最后烧去炮膛中的芯材,就像储物木桶一样。罗兰当然知道这种火炮有容易漏气炸膛的风险,因此直接采用了整体浇铸,镗床钻孔的工艺。对于蒸汽镗床来说,钻六磅炮也好,12磅炮也罢,难度没有本质区别。 In line with the caliber is the just idea, his natural selection muzzle is bigger, gun tube thicker 12 pounds artillery. Again upward, was not easy to use as the field artillery. Calculates with shot as for the weight of shell calculates not important with the iron ball, can hit then it will be alright. After all he is profiting from the history, but does not play the duplication model. 本着口径即是正义的理念,他自然选择炮口更大,炮管更粗的12磅炮。再往上,就不易于作为野战炮使用了。至于炮弹的重量是以铅球计算还是以铁球计算并不重要,能打出去就行。毕竟他是在借鉴历史,而不是玩复制模型。 Starts,” Roland took a deep breath, said toward Anna. The latter nods, grasps together the steel ingot, overhangs to cave entrance above. The green flame ignites, the steel ingot rapidly changes red, then the melting, forms a tiny molten steel waterfall, in the inflow hole. The molten steel surface is the reddish orange, in core transfers incandescent, its brightness made one be hard to look straight ahead. In order to protect the witch vision, Roland specially has also built the support near cave entrance, she only need locate the good position beforehand, by fills up in the support the arm, then can not need to stare at the molten steel to observe whether flows in the hole. “开始吧,”罗兰深吸口气,朝安娜说道。后者点点头,抓起一块钢锭,悬垂到洞口上方。绿焰燃起,钢锭迅速变红,接着熔化,形成一道细小的钢水瀑布,流入洞中。钢水表面呈红橙色,内芯转为白炽,其亮度令人难以直视。为了保护女巫的视力,罗兰还特意在洞口边架起了支撑,她只需事先确定好位置,将手臂靠在支撑垫上,便可以不用盯着钢水观察是否流入洞中。 These steel ingots usually slowly save, an only Anna person of strength cannot open the big steel-making time, but after the small batch production is a cinch-- to be most difficult the temperature checkpoint that for her realizes to solve, with cooking up the steel law then obtains quite superior qualitative steel. 这些钢锭都是平时慢慢积攒下来的,单凭安娜一人之力并不能开启大炼钢时代,但小批量生产对她来说不在话下——最难实现的温度关卡解决后,用炒钢法即可得到较为优质的钢铁。 This is also Roland dares to decide the reason of gun tube size. Compared with the pig iron gun tube and bronze gun tube, the steel casts the gun tube to have a higher intensity obviously. Even if the size is not right, cannon cannot easily the burst in the bore. 这也是罗兰敢于自定炮管尺寸的原因。比起生铁炮管和青铜炮管,钢铸炮管显然拥有更高的强度。即使尺寸不对,火炮也不会轻易炸膛。 The molten steel rises, the steel ingot that saves gradually rapidly is also reducing, somewhat looks at Roland to be grieved. When must wait, he in can build up one pile of chimneys and blast furnaces in the territory, refining up steel that cannot use up? Once a long time, the steel production was to weigh big powers strength standard one, he personal feels now. 钢水逐渐上涨,存下来的钢锭也在飞速减少,看得罗兰不禁有些心痛。到底要等到什么时候,他才在可以在领地上建起一堆烟囱和高炉,炼出用不完的钢铁?曾在很长一段时间,钢铁产量都是衡量列强实力的标准之一,他现在切身感受到了。 Fulls floaded operation two molds, the cheeks of Anna become glowing red. Roland pulls out the takes action silk, cleans the sweat on her tip of the nose gently. Most starts Anna also to express that some resistances, now motionless of little darling, has closed one's eyes, whatever Roland acted. 将两根模具灌满,安娜的脸颊变得红彤彤的。罗兰出手绢,轻轻擦拭她鼻尖上的汗水。最开始安娜还会表示出些许抗拒,现在已经乖乖的一动不动,闭着眼睛任由罗兰施为了。 Under bangs that lets fall in the molten steel shines catches wipes red side, the soft neck neck makes the person want to nip one. When occupy a commanding position, the opposite party will then enter own view by the half tall and slender collar bone that the collar will reveal. Separated near, but can also smell the intermittent delicate fragrance on her transmitting. 垂落的刘海在钢水映照下染上一抹红边,柔软的颈脖让人不禁想去咬上一口。当自己居高临下时,对方透过衣领露出的半截细长锁骨便会进入自己的视野。隔得近了,还能嗅到她身上传来的阵阵幽香。 cough cough, good......” Roland to receive the handkerchief, the mood of simultaneously being ready to make trouble takes back, today arrived here. Does well, the supper I will tell the kitchen extra premium your black pepper steak.” 咳咳,好了……”罗兰收起手绢,同时将蠢蠢欲动的情绪一齐收回,“今天就到这儿吧。干得不错,晚餐我会吩咐厨房额外奖励你一份黑胡椒肉排。” Also is not now, he thinks, does this has the suspicion of taking advantage of somebody's precarious position unavoidably. Waits again, after she gains the freedom, truly...... 还不是现在,他想,这样做难免有乘人之危的嫌疑。再等等,等到她真正获得自由后…… Anna opens the eye, although the sweat had been deleted, but the complexion seemed to be redder than before. She nods toward Roland, has complied with Yeah gently. 安娜睁开眼睛,虽然汗水已被擦去,但脸色似乎比之前更红了。她朝罗兰点点头,轻轻应了声 ******************* ******************* In following in several day, Roland travels between the castle and Northern Slope Mining area. 在接下来的数天里,罗兰往返于城堡和北坡矿区之间。 Besides the gun tube, he also needs to manufacture enough quantity the boring cutter. 除了炮管外,他还需要制作足够量的镗刀。 This tool fabrication method and gun tube for drill hole is similar, its diameter and shell are completely same, takes out after the mold, Anna heats up it once more, closes right up against the iron hammer processing formation. It and in the ordinary spiral knife contour has very big difference, at first sight looks like with the nose bluntness iron rod. The only difference is the top of the head knocks an opening, for discharging metal fragments. Finally quenches, improves boring cutter degree of hardness. 这种用于钻孔的工具制作方法和炮管类似,其直径和炮弹完全相同,从模具中取出后,安娜再次将它加热,靠着铁锤加工成型。它和普通的螺旋刀外形上具有很大区别,乍看之下就像是跟钝头铁棍。唯一的区别是头顶敲出一段豁口,用于排出金属碎屑。最后是淬火,提高镗刀硬度。 Different with the high precision drill bit of modern boring lathe, Roland only the iron rod that needs one to dig then, considered that high rate of wear, he and Anna has made five simple boring cutters in one week. But before this, the steam boring lathe has confirmed the output of own ability-- pig iron barrel rapidly to increase to every day ten from each month two fully. 和现代镗床的高精钻头不同,罗兰只需要一根能打洞的铁棍即可,考虑到较高的磨损率,他和安娜在一个星期内做出了五把简易镗刀。而这之前,蒸汽镗床已经充分验证了自己的能力——生铁枪管的产量由每月两根迅速增加到每天十根。 When all are ready, the artillery embryo was dug from the earth pit by the miner, after cleaning up the superficial dross, moves the carriage to transport to the blacksmith's shop. 待一切准备就绪,炮胚被矿工从土坑里刨出,清理掉表面浮渣后,搬上马车运往铁匠铺。 These two artillery embryos almost consume the steel products that Roland saves, said that is the priceless treasure is not overrated. On the way of ships, the prince orders Carter and two Knight is responsible for the entire journey guarding, this makes Chief Knight think that somewhat moves unnecessarily. Who can steal such heavy thing? 这两根炮胚几乎将罗兰积攒下来的钢材消耗一空,说是无价之宝也不为过。运送途中,王子命令卡特和两名骑士负责全程看守,这让首席骑士觉得有些多此一举。谁会来偷这么死沉的东西? The blacksmiths according to prince's artillery embryo semblance of request to has carried on the leveling and polishing, after the whetstone polish, then nonstop has delivered to the castle backyard. At this time two circles the solid steel stick semblance becomes the perse, emits a heavy/thick metallic luster. 铁匠们按王子的要求对炮胚外表进行了整平和抛光,磨石打磨过后,接着又马不停蹄地送到了城堡后院。此时两根圆乎乎的实心钢棍外表成深灰色,散发出一股厚重的金属光泽。 Roland exchanges the boring cutter impatiently, fixedly arrives at the artillery embryo with Carter, making the tool bit peak go against exactly in the steel stick central place. 罗兰迫不及待地换上镗刀,和卡特一齐将炮胚固定到位,使刀头顶端恰好顶在钢棍中心位置。 Facing this historical moment, Roland pulls the Steam engine valve. The boring cutter starts to revolve slowly, shortly after then rises to a steady rate. 面对这历史性的一刻,罗兰扳下蒸汽机的阀门。镗刀开始缓慢运转,没多久便上升到一个稳定速度。 Feed!” The prince shouts. “进刀!”王子喊道。 Chief Knight promotes the glide base to control the contact depth of artillery embryo and boring cutter, when the tool bit moves the gun tube, the grating noise that sends out has covered thundering of Steam engine immediately. Acts as the lubricant lard to crush into drill hole, what braves is the tinsel of black bubble and tune volume. witches that surrounds withdraws from the wooden shed in abundance, only then a Lightning person still persisted in remaining same place. As if for her, these shiny black machineries come compared with any scenery beautifully movingly. 首席骑士推动滑动基座来控制炮胚和镗刀的接触深度,当刀头碰触到炮管时,发出的刺耳噪音顿时盖过了蒸汽机的轰鸣。充当润滑剂的猪油被挤进钻孔,冒出来的是黑色泡沫和曲卷的金属丝。围观的女巫们纷纷退出木棚,只有闪电一个人仍坚持留在原地。似乎对她来说,这些黑黝黝的机械要比任何景色都来得美丽动人。
