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。Underlackingsituation of measuring tool, the Rolandsimplycustomizingstandard, heinterceptedoneto supposewithoneselfring fingernailalmostwideiron baris the foundationunit, onecentimeter, manufacturedothersizesbythisagain the iron bars, andengraved the partitionline.
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。12poundsiron balldiametersunder the coarsehardcorestraightedgesurvey, approximatelyare12centimeters, hedecides asfourcentimeters the wall thickness of pipethinnestplace, rear endbarrel chambertoprevent the burst in the bore, the wall thicknessexpandstosevencentimeters, thusobtained the moldinside diameter. As forlength , he althoughknows that cannonhad a time of diametersaying, butthere isimpressionalsoonly the main artillerytime of diameter of remainingbattleshipandmaster stationtank, beforeantiqueinstalled the artillery, hehas 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 barrelis shorter, weightis lighter, moresaves the material, the Rolandbig handwielded, tookonemeterfivethisvalue. If the test fireeffectis not satisfactory, laterreadjustmentthen 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 cannonwas inventedat first, andperforms the powdered ironhealinwoodencorematerialabove the ringby the iron bar, reinforces, finally the corematerial in burning downbarrelwith the iron hoopagain, like the storagewooden barrel. Rolandknows certainly that thiscannonhas the easyair leakageburst in the borerisk, thereforehas directly used the integral cast, the craft of boring lathedrill hole. Regarding the steamboring lathe, drillssixpoundsartilleryto be also good, 12poundsartillery, the difficultydoes 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 caliberis the justidea, hisnatural selectionmuzzleis bigger, gun tubethicker12poundsartillery. Againupward, was not easyto useas the field artillery. Calculateswithshotas for the weight of shellcalculatesnotimportantwith the iron ball, canhitthen it will be alright. After allhe is profiting from the history, butdoes not play the duplicationmodel.
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,”Rolandtook a deep breath, saidtowardAnna. The latternods, graspstogether the steel ingot, overhangstocave entranceabove. The greenflameignites, the steel ingotrapidlychangesred, then the melting, forms a tinymolten steelwaterfall, in the inflowhole.

In order toprotect the witchvision, Rolandspeciallyhas also built the supportnearcave entrance, she only need locate the goodpositionbeforehand, byfills upin the support the arm, thencannot needto stare at the molten steelto observewhetherflows 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。Thesesteel ingotsusuallyslowlysave, an onlyAnnaperson of strengthcannotopen the bigsteel-makingtime, but after the small batch productionis a cinch--to be most difficult the temperaturecheckpoint that for herrealizesto solve, withcooking up the steellawthenobtainsquitesuperiorqualitativesteel.
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 Rolanddaresto decide the reason of gun tubesize. Compared with the pig irongun tube and bronzegun tube, the steelcasts the gun tubeto have a higherintensityobviously. Even if the sizeis not right, cannoncannoteasily 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 steelrises, the steel ingot that savesgraduallyrapidlyis also reducing, somewhatlooks atRolandto be grieved. Whenmustwait, heincanbuild uponepile of chimneys and blast furnacesin the territory, refining upsteel that cannot use up? Oncea long time, the steel productionwasto weighbig powersstrengthstandardone, hepersonalfeelsnow.
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 operationtwomolds, the cheeks of Annabecomeglowing red. Rolandpulls out the takes actionsilk, cleans the sweat on hertip of the nosegently. MoststartsAnnaalsoto express that someresistances, nowmotionless of little darling, has closed one's eyes, whateverRolandacted.
将两根模具灌满,安娜的脸颊变得红彤彤的。罗兰掏出手绢,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。

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......”Rolandto receive the handkerchief, the mood of simultaneouslybeing ready to make troubletakes back, „today arrived here. Doeswell, the supperIwill tell the kitchenextra premium your black peppersteak.”
“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。”Alsois notnow, hethinks,does thishas the suspicion of taking advantage of somebody's precarious positionunavoidably. Waitsagain, after shegains 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……Annaopens the eye, although the sweathad been deleted, but the complexion seemed to be redder than before. ShenodstowardRoland, has complied withYeahgently.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,轻轻应了声嗯。*******************
*******************Infollowinginseveralday, Rolandtravelsbetween the castleandNorthern 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, healsoneedsto manufactureenoughquantity the boring cutter.
除了炮管外,他还需要制作足够量的镗刀。Thistool fabricationmethod and gun tubefordrill holeis similar, itsdiameter and shellare completely same, takes outafter the mold, Annaheats upitonce more, closes right up against the iron hammerprocessingformation.

The onlydifferenceis the top of the headknocks an opening, fordischargingmetalfragments. Finallyquenches, improvesboring cutterdegree 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 precisiondrill bit of modernboring lathe, Rolandonly the iron rod that needsone to digthen, considered that highrate of wear, heandAnnahas madefivesimpleboring cuttersinoneweek. But before this, the steamboring lathehas confirmed the output of ownability--pig ironbarrelrapidlyto increase toevery daytenfromeach monthtwofully.
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。Whenallare ready, the artilleryembryowas dugfrom the earth pitby the miner, after cleaning up the superficialdross, moves the carriageto 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。Thesetwoartilleryembryosalmostconsume the steel products that Rolandsaves, said that is the priceless treasureis not overrated. On the way of ships, the princeordersCarterandtwoKnightis responsible for the entire journeyguarding, thismakesChief Knightthink that somewhatmoves unnecessarily. Whocansteal such heavything?
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 blacksmithsaccording toprince'sartilleryembryosemblance of requesttohas carried on the levelingandpolishing, after the whetstonepolish, thennonstophas delivered to the castlebackyard. At this timetwocircles the solidsteelsticksemblancebecomes the perse, emits a heavy/thickmetallic 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。Rolandexchanges the boring cutterimpatiently, fixedlyarrives at the artilleryembryowithCarter, making the tool bitpeakgo againstexactlyin the steelstickcentral 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。Facingthishistorical moment, Rolandpulls the Steam enginevalve. The boring cutterstartsto revolveslowly, shortly afterthenrisesto 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 princeshouts.
“进刀!”王子喊道。Chief Knightpromotes the glidebaseto control the contactdepth of artilleryembryoandboring cutter, when the tool bitmoves the gun tube, the gratingnoise that sends outhas coveredthundering of Steam engineimmediately.

As iffor her, theseshiny blackmachineriescomecompared withanyscenerybeautifullymovingly.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。
