„What, can't afford?” Roland sits in the office, that request increases enrollment the administrative personnel and purchases document/secretary of sailing ship on the swayed on his desk. “什么,买不起？”罗兰坐在办公室内,那张要求扩招行政人员和购买帆船的文书就摆在他的书桌上。 Barov settles the throat clear, „your highness, truly so. A price of two mast sailing ships in 80 to 120 gold royal, but this is only cost of shipbuilding. Calculates person who embarks incessantly so, complete price estimate in 200 gold royal above.” 巴罗夫清了清喉咙,“殿下,确实如此。一艘两桅帆船的价格在80至120枚金龙之间,但这只是造船的费用。算上船上的人就不止如此了,全部价格估计在200枚金龙以上。” „I did not mean that doesn't need the sailor and helmsman? The captain does not use, I want the ship.” Roland knocks the table to ask. Some Wendy, him operate the sailing ship with less than that many people completely. The wherry mostly is the straight sail, operates with rising and falling the flag is the same, the oarsman and sailors are unnecessary, the helmsman casual individual tries then it will be alright. Had the vector wind power in any case, but also feared that the ship doesn't proceed? “我不是说了,不需要水手、舵手吗？船长也不用,我只要船。”罗兰敲着桌子问。有温蒂在,他完全用不到那么多人来操作帆船。内河船大多是直帆,操作起来就跟升降旗子一样,桨手和水手都属多余,舵手随便拉个人上去试试就行。反正有了矢量风力,还怕船不往前走？ „Your highness, such business, at least has not had in Willow Town.” Barov answered carefully, „you possibly too did not know about this profession, generally speaking, the owner of ships was a captain. Possibly is the merchant, possibly is noble, former is recruited the manpower after oneself, along with the ship travels in various big town dock, peddler or ships the cargo. Latter's words, will recruit an acting captain generally again, comes for oneself with the ship. The employees do not count salary monthly, but is from one to three years pays one time.” “殿下,并没有这样的买卖,至少在柳叶镇没有。”巴罗夫细心解释道,“您可能对这个行业不太了解,一般来说,船只的所有者就是船长。可能是商人,也可能是贵族,前者由自己招募人手后,随船往返于各大城镇码头之间,行商或者运送货物。后者的话,一般会再招募一名代理船长,来替自己跟船。雇员也不是按月计薪酬,而是一至三年给付一次。” „Most times, the ship and person bind together. You planned that purchases the ships from the captain, but not subordinate who wants him to hire, then he was equal to losing money the employment salary. 80 gold royal funds, even if regarding big noble, is not the digit that can give up at will. Early this month is counted with the raw gems transaction of Willow Town, now City Hall altogether has 315 gold royal spare money, if the flowered larger part is used to buy the ship, the next month your militia team could not send out the salary.” The Assistant Minister one breath said, held up cup to drink an ale. “绝大多数时候,船和人都是绑在一起的。您打算向船长购买船只,而不要他雇来的手下,那么他就相当于亏损了雇佣薪酬。80枚金龙的款项,即使对于大贵族来说,也不是个可以随意割舍的数字。月初算上和柳叶镇的宝石原石交易,现在市政厅共有315枚金龙余款,若花一大半用来买船,下一个月您的民兵队就发不出薪酬了。”大臣助理一口气说完,举起杯子喝了口麦酒。 „Most times that you said......” “你说的绝大多数时候……” „Right,” he nods, „has two situation to have the empty ship sell \; first, the merchant urgently needed cash, sells off the property. At this time he will disband all crew, then sold out the ship as far as possible quickly. Second, to replace new ship, this is very good to understand. But has saying that two situation are very both rare.” “没错,”他点点头,“有两种情况会有空船出售,一是商人急需现钱,变卖财产。这时候他会遣散所有船员,然后将船尽可能快地卖掉。二是更换新船,这个很好理解。但不得不说,两种情况都十分少见。” „Wait/Etc.,” Roland knits the brows saying that „you said buys the new ship...... Which do that these ships are come?” “等等,”罗兰皱眉道,“你说购入新船……那这些船又是哪儿来的？” „Port of Clear Water, Sea Wind Region and north to corner/horn. Only the coastal city is equipped with the dock, only then they can the shipbuilding.” “碧水港、海风郡、北望角。只有海港城市才设有船坞,也只有他们才能造船。” Originally " could not find such business in Willow Town " is this meaning, the Roland silent moment, went to the coastal city to buy the ship too to be also far, moreover did not hire the crew, who helped oneself open the ship? „Since this, under my again consideration.” 原来「在柳叶镇找不到这样的买卖」是这个意思,罗兰沉默片刻,去海港城市买船又太远了,而且不雇佣船员,谁帮自己把船开回来？“既然这样,我再考虑下。” After Assistant Minister asks to be excused, the prince was lost in thought. 等大臣助理告退后,王子陷入了沉思。 In strategic plan that he forms in one's mind, a point that the ship transport is unable to substitute . The fast convenient ships transportation, he is unable to bring cannon to complete hold/container clip. The stronghold Duke army is recruits the farmer, Knight and mercenary generally, where the marching speed to does not go inevitably quickly, is only slower. Such that just like Carter said that by the words of land route, a morass can let cannon difficult-- this time purely the overland communication is not the pitch street, even does not have including the stone slab road. However is person who walks were many, presses out one to say. When cloudless day fortunately, arrives to rain will be then muddy. 在他构思的战略方案里,船运是无法取代的一环。没有快速便利的船只运输,他就无法带着火炮完成包夹。要塞公爵的部队一般是征召农夫、骑士和雇佣兵,行军速度必然快不到哪里去,只是自己更慢而已。正如卡特所说的那样,纯靠陆路的话,一个泥坑就能让火炮寸步难行——这个时代的陆路交通可不是柏油马路,甚至连石板路都没有。不过是走的人多了,生生压出一条道来。晴天时还好,一到下雨便会泥泞不堪。 In the end, makes by oneself? 到头来,还是得靠自己造么？ The Roland booth opens the paper, records a specification oblong seal that he needs. 罗兰摊开张纸,将他所需的规格一条条记录下来。 First, this is one can ship one to two cannon, the in addition about 30 people ships, this ship can not suppose the power, the sail advances. Second, this ship goes in inland river, the request is steady, is not easy to capsize, the drinking water is shallow. Third, must be easy to operate, militia trains after the short-term can begin fast. 首先,这是一艘能运送一至两门火炮,外加30人左右的船只,该船可以不设动力,风帆推进。第二,该船在内河行驶,要求平稳可靠,不易翻沉,吃水浅。第三,要易于操作,民兵经过短期培训后可以快速上手。 Synthesizes to look at these, answer only remaining...... Flat base barge. 把这几点综合起来看,答案只剩下一个……平底驳船。 Before Roland passes through, this type of drinking water is extremely shallow, the center of gravity extremely low ships find at everywhere, almost proliferates various rivers important highways. In those days in these have piled up with the river sand or the gravel, the broad side almost and water surface impartial ships are the flat base barge, so long as there is a boat, can like driving a locomotive, drew several barges to go forward. 在罗兰穿越前,这种吃水极浅,重心极低的船只随处可见,几乎遍布各条河流要道。往日里那些堆满了河沙或石子,船舷几乎和水面持平的船只便是平底驳船,只要有一艘拖船,就能像开火车一样,拉动数个驳船前进。 After body form determination, the following key point is the choice uses what material construction. 船型确定后,接下来的关键点是选择用何种材料建造。 Roland writes down three options on the paper: Wood/Blockhead, iron and cement. 罗兰在纸上写下三个选项:木头、铁、水泥。 Makes the ship with the wood/blockhead, is navigation science and technology tree that human earliest lightens, from the wooden raft to the sail battleship, from the rivers and streams to the sea, the wooden boat is unfailing. It is a pity that how Roland puts together a bateau with the log, hand/subordinate does not have the related artisan. If closes right up against several carpenters on hardly, likely is the large-scale raft board, may momentarily disperse that. 用木头做船,是人类最早点亮的航海科技树,从木筏到风帆战列舰,从江河到海洋,木船可谓经久不衰。遗憾的是,罗兰并不懂如何用原木来拼出一艘平底船,手下也没有相关工匠。如果靠着几个木匠硬上的话,很可能就是个大型筏板,还是随时可能会散架的那种。 The iron ship words, construct and construct the house to be similar, main secondary girder constitution dragon bone of spreading across, again on gable iron sheet. Is made the welding by Anna the words, the overall rigidity has the guarantee. But this procedure many iron ore reserve consumption completely, these iron ore will be used to produce Steam engine and barrel unless it is absolutely essential obviously is a more appropriate choice. 铁船的话,构造和建房子差不多,纵横交错的主次梁构成龙骨,再包覆上铁皮。由安娜做焊接的话,整体刚度有保证。但这种做法会把本就不多的铁矿储备消耗殆尽,不到万不得已,这些铁矿用来生产蒸汽机和枪管显然是更合适的选择。 Then the concrete boat became the final option-- city wall has constructed, the raw material also had surplus, so long as Anna the calcine one to can obtain enough cement flour twice. The construction process is also much easier than iron ship, so long as puts together the contour with the wooden forms, distributes to act as the steel bar the iron bar, refills into the cement then. In rural area, can make several cement small boats to be used to fish. Needs the regular stain removal to varnish compared with iron ship, after it constructs, even does not need to maintain, the construction cost is it may be said that inexpensive, solid durable. How even if have not studied has produced the open sea big ship, produces the technique content quite low inland river cement barge, should the issue not be big? 那么水泥船就成了最后选项——城墙已经修建完毕,原材料还有剩余,安娜只要煅烧一至两次就能得到足够的水泥粉。建造过程也比铁船容易得多,只要用木模板拼出外形,排布好充作钢筋的铁条,再填入水泥即可。就连老家农村里,都能造出好几条水泥小舟用来打鱼。比起铁船需要定期除锈刷漆,它建好后甚至不需要维护,可谓造价低廉,又结实耐用。就算自己没学过如何造远洋大舰,造艘技术含量颇低的内河水泥驳船,应该问题不大吧？ Holds the mentality of trying, Roland is pinching a quill pen, draws up the schematic diagram of barge rapidly. 抱着试试的心态,罗兰捏起支鹅毛笔,飞速绘制起驳船的草图来。 ...... …… Scarlet Water River put up brought the shed of fence. 赤水河边搭起了带围墙的棚子。 For the convenience launches, Roland draws close to the river bank the shipbuilding place as far as possible. 为了方便下水,罗兰将造船地点尽可能贴近河岸。 The awning room can shelter keep off the snow, simultaneously room internal combustion two basin charcoal fires, to avoid temperature too low influence cement hardening effect. 棚房可以遮风挡雪,同时房内燃着两盆炭火,以避免温度过低影响水泥硬化效果。 The wooden forms that the carpenters dig have put together the basic framework-- bow of hull to assume the round campylodromous, reduces the advance resistance, the end assumes the square shape, to increase load area. The beam approximately 24 chi (0.33 m)( 8 meters), the length and breadth ratio is 3 : 1, compared with the conventional ships 8 : 1 slender build, simply is a fatty. The middle supposes the twin mast. The mast insertion ship's bottom, with passing through iron beam of ship median line is connected. The stern is also setting up a section of wooden stake, as rudder reservation mouth. Other places are setting the iron bar of spreading across. 木匠刨出的木模板已拼出船体的基本轮廓——船头呈圆弧状,降低前进阻力,尾部呈方形,以增加荷载面积。船宽约24尺（8米）,长宽比为3:1,比起常规船只8:1的修长体形来说,简直是个胖子。中间设双桅。桅杆插入船底,与贯穿船中线的铁梁相连。船尾还树立着一截木桩,作为方向舵预留口。其他地方则铺放着纵横交错的铁条。 Has not bound with the iron wire has not related, all iron bar infalls are welded by Anna personally reliably, formed one to proliferate the ship's bottom the iron net. 没有绑扎用的铁丝也没关系,所有铁条交叉处由安娜亲手焊接牢固,形成了一张遍布船底的铁网。 When " template " and " steel bar " is ready, Roland orders the worker to start to carry on the casting work. 当「模板」和「钢筋」准备就绪,罗兰命令工人开始进行浇捣作业。 Mixes the good cement to pour into the template by a basin basin, the middle is the flat base, all around is higher than one meter about five, as cabin sidewall. At first sight, like shape unique big bathtub. 拌合好的水泥被一盆盆倒入模板中,中间为平底,四周高出一米五左右,作为船仓侧壁。乍看之下,像极了个形状独特的大澡盆。 The person who all participates in the construction, including Anna, has not thought that strange thing that this and city wall use homogeneous material makes, unexpectedly is a ship. 所有参与建设的人,包括安娜,都没有想到,这个和城墙使用同种材料做出来的古怪玩意,居然是艘船。
