The snowmakes the carriagedifficult, the groupspent the half-daytimeto make the goodfield artilleryhaulageto arrive atoutside the first town.
积雪让马车寸步难行,一行人花了半天功夫才把第一门造好的野战炮拖运到镇子外。„What is thistime?”Carterto the newthing that the princecausesunceasinglyfelt that somewhatbecame accustomed, „a flintlock of enlargement?”
“这次又是什么?”卡特对王子不断弄出的新玩意感到有些习以为常了,“一把放大的火枪?”„Almost.” After the Rolanddirectionhand/subordinatetakes downlinks up, personally the adjustmentpunmetals mountingangle, making the barrelset level, the stay rodarrives in the snowy area.
“差不多。”罗兰指挥手下取下挂钩后,亲自调整炮架角度,使炮身放平,撑杆抵进雪地里。
The principle of cannonandflintlockis completely same, thereforeitisenlarges the flintlock of version is very actually appropriate. Thiscannonlaunches12poundssolidiron ball, before the shellandgunpowderare, installs the cocking, the lead wireignition. In the Rolandreferencehistorythesematuredesigns, inciting the carpenterto buildoneset of woodenpunmetals mountingforit. In order to improvedurability, withsurface frictionmanyandlaunches the stressbigspothas carried onnear the ironhandbag.火炮和火枪的原理完全相同,所以说它是放大版的火枪倒是十分贴切。这门火炮发射12磅实心铁球,炮弹和火药都是前装进膛,引线点火。罗兰参照历史中那些成熟的设计,指使木匠为其打造了一套木质炮架。为了提高耐用性,与地面摩擦较多、发射时受力较大的部位都进行了铁皮包边。In order tomake the punmetals mountingandwheel, Rolandalmostspentanddrills the barrelsimilarlymuchtime, threecarpenterbusyoneweekswere of great success, especiallythatto the diameterhalfperson of highwheel, the carpenterfirstwasdugfourand other longsidewooden staff, after the infiltration, with the fireroastingtocurving, the reasontruncated the scoop channeljoggled joint, the wheel huboutflow boundarygableiron sheetstrikes. Thisset of flowgets down, has spentfourdays.
为了制造炮架和轮子,罗兰几乎花去了和钻炮膛同样多的时间,三个木匠忙碌一个星期才大功告成,特别是那对直径半人多高的轮子,木匠先是刨出四段等长的方木条,浸润后用火烘烤至弯曲,端头削出凹槽榫接,轮毂外缘包覆铁皮敲打。这一套流程下来,就花掉了四天的时间。Thereforein the Rolandeye, thisentirebuildsmanually, 12poundsfield artillery of releasesends out the dazzlingraywith limited quantityall over the body.

因此在罗兰眼里,这尊全手工打造,限量发行的12磅野战炮通体都散发出耀眼的光芒。拖出来试射时,随行阵容安排得十分庞大——首席骑士卡特和民兵队指挥铁斧就不说了,亲卫和骑士学徒全员上阵,民兵队也抽调了20人负责清空场地和警戒。除此之外,他还首次带上了夜莺和闪电。托娜娜瓦的福,民兵队对女巫群体的成见降到了最低,娜娜瓦本人更是成了队伍中声望仅次于王子的人。„Doesaccording to the flow, firstcleans up the barrel.”AlthoughRolandis very clearto the structure of cannon, but the concrete operationswere a blank. Heracked brainsto recall the exerciseartillerylens in variousmedievalmovies, triedto reorganizeoneset of flow, was what kind ofas for the actual result, that was really god knows.
“按流程来做吧,先是清理炮膛。”罗兰虽然对火炮的构造十分清楚,但具体操作就是一片空白了。他绞尽脑汁回忆着各种中世纪电影里的操炮镜头,试着整理出一套流程,至于实际效果怎么样,那真是天知道。Lightningextracts a swabmodelfrom the punmetals mountinghighly-spirited the stripper rod, holdsothermuzzle--andwitchcontractsis different, Lightningproposed, so long asletsherto operate various novelinventionspersonally, sheis willingto be the Rolandpotency, anddoes not needto pay the salary. Facing the condition of thiseconomizing, Rolandnaturallyreadily agrees, when is one's turn the securityprojectin any case, the researchwas secretly good. Inhisbrainalso many drop and inventionwaitingrealizes, put outseveralto sufficeherto toss aboutcasuallya while.闪电兴致高昂地从炮架下方抽出一根拖把式样的清理杆,捅进炮口——和其他女巫的契约不同,闪电提出只要让她能亲手操作各类新奇发明,她就愿意为罗兰效力,并且无需给付薪酬。面对这种省钱的条件,罗兰自然一口答应下来,反正轮到保密项目时,偷偷研究就好了。他脑中还有许多点子和发明等待实现,随便拿出几件来都够她折腾好一阵子了。Fiddled withseveral, the swabhas not carried overanyjunks, butdeferred to the flow, shemustalsoprobablycarry onsecondcleaning up. Exchangesanotherswab, pulled outonce moredeliversseveral, barrelcleaning upcompletes.
捣鼓了几下,拖把并没有带出什么杂物,但按照流程,她必须还得进行第二次清理。换上另一根拖把,再次抽送几下,炮膛清理就算完成了。„Lookedto understand?”RolandaskstowardKnightandmilitia who the one sidesurrounds.

Thisneeds the massivegunnery training, canproficient operationthesetwoFirearmin the battlefield.
“都看明白了吗?”罗兰朝一旁围观的骑士和民兵们问道。这次试射同样也是一次演练,如今火枪产量大幅提高,民兵队势必会向正式步兵演变,木枪也会被火枪和火炮取代。这需要大量的射击训练,才能在战场上熟练操作这两款热兵器。Seesallpeopleto nod, hemakesLightningcarry on the nextoperation.
见所有人点头,他才让闪电进行下一步操作。

小姑娘取出一袋纸卷包裹起来的火药,塞入炮膛,用一根木杆直捅到底。接着放入炮弹,再次捅紧。取出钻杆从炮管后端的引线眼插入,捅破药包,随后插入引线,如此一来,发射准备便完成了。In order toprevent the accident/surprise, allpeoplewithdraw from30beyondsteps, after hidingbunker . Lightningapproaches the lead wire the flare, sees only the reasonsparksparkle, has drilled suddenly then into the gun tube.
为了防止意外,所有人退出30步之外,藏身掩体后。闪电将火把靠近引线,只见端头火花闪耀,眨眼间便已钻入了炮管中。Afterwardbangloud sound--
随后一声轰隆巨响——

炮口高速喷出的气流将积雪带起,地面上扬起了一层雪雾。12磅炮的理论有效射程可达千米以上,即使没有膛线,前段炮弹行进轨迹仍如一条直线。放在约百米之外的盔甲标靶发出当的一声,被12磅铁球正面命中,整个飞了起来。铁球去势不减,落在雪地上后连续弹跳,激起一股股柱状雪花。When the gunsmokeclears, CarterandIron Axefirstrush to the targetplace.

Even iffallswhen the groundtrundle, itis also containing the astonishingstrength.
当硝烟散尽,卡特和铁斧第一时间跑到标靶处。只见盔甲正面已经完全凹陷下去,前甲板贴在后甲板上,一个巴掌大的孔洞位于盔甲中心,显然,这枚炮弹在击穿目标后,又向前飞行了约百米。即使落在地上滚动时,它也蕴含着惊人的力量。„Goodfearfulpenetrating power!”Cartersaid after a sigh, hehas been ableto imagineleaves, when the enemygathered, was passed through the teampitiful conditionbyseveralshells.
“好可怕的穿透力!”卡特感叹道,他已经能想象出当敌人聚集在一起,被数枚炮弹贯穿队伍时的惨状。„Oh Three Gods,”Iron Axestartsa littleto believe,Rolandwasenvoy of mother of earth, besidesgod's envoy, who can also playso the region the flamemight?

“三神在上,”铁斧开始有点相信,罗兰是大地之母的使者了,除了神使,谁还能将火焰的威力发挥到如此境地?那些火药颗粒,他曾反复研究过,只要碾成粉末摊开点燃,就是一种普通的易燃物。火焰是大地之母澎湃的怒意,也是她最为有力的武器——想到极南之地那从地洞中喷发,永不停歇的橙火,他心底产生了对王子顶礼膜拜的冲动。Rolandis not but actually accidentaltosuchresult, 12poundsfield artilleryclassicsonegeneration, especiallyNapoleonartillery that blossoms in radiant splendorin the UScivil war, fullyhad proven the calibergreatlyis the beautifultruth.罗兰对这样的结果倒不意外,12磅野战炮可谓经典一代,特别是在美国内战中大放异彩的拿破仑炮,充分证明了口径大就是美的真理。Thenheuses the differentweightsto test the gun tubeintensity, althoughknows that may causecannonto damage, butthisis the test that necessarymakes.
接下来他用不同装药量来测试炮管强度,尽管知道可能会导致火炮损毁,但这是必要做的测试。Continuously when increasetothreepackages of powder charges, cannonlaunchpresented the muzzleto rise, situation that the punmetals mountingshifts, the gun tubehad not presented the obviousdistortion. It seems like the steelcasts the gun tubeto performverywellin the intensity, Roland the standardpowder chargedeterminationin1.2times of experimentalpowder charges, remaining, selects the cannoneerfinally, practicedrepeatedly.
一直添加到三包装药,火炮发射时已出现了炮口上扬,炮架移位的情况,炮管仍未出现明显变形。看来钢铸炮管在强度上表现得十分优异,罗兰最后将标准装药确定在1.2倍试验装药上,剩下的,就是选出炮手,反复练习了。„Your highness, thisweaponis indeed formidable, butitwas too heavy. So long asmeets a morass, canmakeit unable to move.”Cartersaw the new-styleweaponshortcomingactuallyimmediately, „, moreovereachwheelopens fireneedsto clean up the gun tube, powder chargeload. In additiongunpowder and shelluseonheavymanycompared withflintlock, perhaps is only cannon, needsfivetosixpeopleto operate.”
“殿下,这种武器的确强大,但它太重了。只要遇上一个泥坑,就能让它动弹不得。”卡特倒是立刻看出了新式武器的缺点,“而且每轮开火都需要清理炮管,装药装弹。加上火药和炮弹都比火枪用得重上许多,恐怕光是一门火炮,就需要五到六人操作。”„Indeed, butall are worth, so long asequipstwotothreecannon, Duke......

As for12poundsartillerytooheavyshortcoming, heplansthrough the shippingsolution.

“的确,不过一切都是值得的,只要装备两到三门火炮,公爵……不,我是说邪兽,巨型乌龟的那种,就没可能再冲破城墙。”罗兰咳嗽两声,暗道好险。至于12磅炮太重的缺点,他打算通过航运解决。蒸汽机想要转化为蒸汽船,哪怕是最原始的明轮船,也是一个复杂而庞大的机械系统。Transformswithhis, might as wellpurchasestwomastsailing shipsdirectly, depends upon the Wendycontrollingwindabilityfasttransports the militiateamandcannonto the Dukearmybehind, forms the converging attackwith the positive/directteam, annihilated the strongholdDukeeffective strengthbythis.
与其自己去改造,还不如直接购买一艘两桅帆船,依靠温蒂的控风能力快速将民兵队和火炮运至公爵部队身后,与正面队伍形成夹击,以此围歼要塞公爵的有生力量。
