#977: The wing of glide


Three days,” Nightingale said suddenly. “还有三天,”夜莺忽然说道。 Yeah, three days.” Roland nods, at the current marching speed, three days later First Army then arrives in the small hillside that the preinstall attack position-- there is sticks out together, slope happen to before outpost, not only the field of vision is open, suits the establishment fortification. ,还有三天。”罗兰点点头,以目前的行军速度,三天之后第一军即可抵达预设的进攻阵地——那里是一块隆起的小山坡,坡头正好对着前哨站,不仅视野开阔,也十分适合设置防御工事。 Once makes them stand firm, Devil wants to shake the arms defense line is very difficult again. 一旦让他们站稳脚跟,魔鬼再想撼动枪炮防线就很难了。 However following several days, ambush the squad head pressure also to increase suddenly. 不过接下来的几天,狙击小队头上的压力也会随之猛增。 They guaranteed the premise that is quietly then cuts off the sensation line of sight of enemy, in broad great plains, if no real-time transmission news ability, wants to grasp the position of raider precisely is almost the impossible matter. 她们保证悄无声息的前提便是神不知、鬼不觉地掐断敌人的感知视线,在广阔的大平原上,若没有实时传递消息的能力,想要精确掌握袭击者的位置几乎是件不可能的事情。 But with increase of patrol army, Devil had to receive in exchange for the real-time messaging possible-- only with the numerical advantage being probable to witness to lose the joint shot down instance, the search turn largely will then reduce, they wanted again takes action to become the risk full matter. 但随着巡逻部队的增加,魔鬼就有了用数量优势来换取实时消息的可能——只需目睹到失联者被击落的瞬间,搜索圈便会大幅缩小,她们想要再出手就成了风险十足的事。 The best result was the enemy notes existence of ambush squad, is unable to lock the exact location, but the latter promptly received the hand, the tone went to converge with First Army, like this not only can involve the Devil flying unit, and can win enough time to the main army. 最好的结果是敌人注意到了狙击小队的存在,又无法锁定具体位置,而后者则及时收手,调头去与第一军汇合,这样既能牵扯魔鬼的飞行部队,又可以给主力军争取到足够的时间。 All these needs they judge. 只是这一切需要她们自己来判断。 Morning a point or the late point will make this attack uncertain. 早一点或晚一点都会令此次出击充满变数。 You should believe them,” Nightingale saw the worry of Roland likely, where the judgment of Taqila witch to risk should not miss to goes, the magic power ark can avoid the majority of pursuit, even if meets squad Devil, wants to gnaw them is not the easy matter.” “你应该相信她们,”夜莺像是看出了罗兰的担心,“塔其拉女巫对风险的判断应该不会差到哪里去,魔力方舟又能避开大部分追击,即使遇上小队魔鬼,想要啃下她们也不是什么容易的事。” Also said is,” Roland has patted the cheeks, in the final analysis the insufficiency in Neverwinter City strength, needs to take this risk. The speed of walk has seriously restricted the First Army limit, if can equip the wheeled vehicle, can definitely initiate a blitzkrieg of taking a short trip in such great plains, even if the army marches under the Dread Beast nose, the enemy also without enough time prevents. “说得也是,”罗兰拍了拍脸颊,说到底还是无冬城实力上的不足,以至于需要冒此风险。步行的速度严重制约了第一军的极限,若是能装备轮式车辆的话,在这样的大平原上完全可以发起一场朝发夕至的闪击战,哪怕军队在恐兽眼皮底下行军,敌人也来不及阻止。 Compared with insignificant worry, he should put work on hand the attention. 比起无意义的担忧,他更应该把注意力放到手头的工作上来。 Was right, should Wendy know the basic principle of flight?” “对了,温蒂应该已经掌握飞行的基本原理了吧?” Probably,” Nightingale lost piece of dried fish toward the mouth with a smile, yesterday evening she fell asleep has still been talking in a dream, talks over the runway to empty, green light full.” “大概,”夜莺笑着往嘴里丢了片鱼干,“昨天晚上她睡着了还在说梦话,念叨着跑道已清空,绿灯全开呢。” That is good,” Roland looked at outside the eye piece, today's weather seems to be good, it seems like can carry on next step to test.” “那就好,”罗兰望了眼窗外,“今天天气似乎挺不错的,看来可以进行下一步测试了。” Oh? you planned to test that thing officially brightly the material object......” the Nightingale eye one. 哦?难道你打算正式测试那东西的实物了么……”夜莺眼睛一亮。 What's wrong, you to it interested?” “怎么,你对它有兴趣吗?” Nobody can not be interested!” Her excited say/way, does not rely on the wing also to be able the hovering horizon, the specific heat balloon is more free, anybody can control, this sounds almost and miracle not different--, if succeeded, you know that these citizen will regard you? Perhaps gods was also hard to shake your prestige.” “没人会不感兴趣吧!”她兴奋道,“不凭借羽翼也能翱翔天际,比热气球更加自由,任何人都能驾驭,这听起来几乎和神迹无异——如果成功了的话,你知道那些领民会怎么看待你吗?恐怕神明也难以撼动你的威望了。” When spoke these words, the Nightingale facial expression simply compared with obtaining Chaos Drink must glisten, probably won the person who ten thousand numerous respect is she is the same. 说这番话时,夜莺的神情简直比得到混沌饮料还要闪亮,就好像赢得万众敬仰的人是她一样。 Roland has also cannot help but smiled, „the present also in the fumble stage, wants that step that realized you saying that was very long a section of road to walk.” 罗兰也不由得笑了起来,“现在还只是在摸索阶段而已,想要实现你说的那一步,还有很长一段路要走。” At least Steam engine has no way to meet its need, he needs the source of more formidable power. 至少蒸汽机没法满足其需求,他需要更强大的动力之源。 But it will realize finally, right?” Nightingale joins hands behind the back to get to the entrance, reviews says with a smile. “但它终会实现的,对吧?”夜莺背着手走到门口,回眸一笑道。 Yeah,” Roland should say without hesitation, its meeting.” ,”罗兰毫不犹豫地应道,“它会的。” ...... …… Shoal harbor east one kilometer. 浅滩海港东面一公里处。 Surfaces beach head to sink to sea here, only leaves behind one unceasingly Shiling that extends to the southeast side, but this long Shiling, constituted the entire Kingdom of Greycastle south wheel profile. 露出水面的滩头在这里沉入大海,只留下一段不断向东南面延伸的石岭,而正是这道漫长的石岭,构成了整个灰堡王国南面的轮廓线。 To residing in Western Region's inland person, this boundary is part of hill landform, mounts soil bank that raises gently, then can see the broad boundless whirlpool sea \; But to marine peddler, this is actually together the hard-to-pass barrier, the mean height differences of sea level and Shiling over 15 meters, let alone is unable to load and unload the cargo, nears anchors is very dangerous. Therefore before the shoal made a connection, Western Region has one-third boundaries obviously by the sea, does not have a going to sea harbor. 对居于西境的内陆人而言,该边界不过是丘陵地貌的一部分,登上平缓升起的土坡,便能看到宽广无际的旋涡海\;但对海上的行商来说,这却是一道难以逾越的屏障,海面与石岭的平均高差在15米以上,别说无法装卸货物,就连抵近停靠都很危险。因此在浅滩被打通前,西境明明有1的边界挨着大海,却没有一个出海港口。 It can be said that west the kingdom general economy level was inferior that eastern and southern areas, the main reason besides the destruction that Months of Demons causes, another point then lacks the harbor. 可以说,王国西部的整体经济水平不如东部和南部地区,最主要的原因除了邪月造成的破坏外,另一点便是缺乏海港。 However such terrain now actually has become the excellent test flight field. 不过这样的地形如今却成了绝佳的试飞场。 When Roland one line of arrive in this place, guards the Neverwinter City garrison force to block strictly surrounding one kilometer region. 罗兰一行人抵达此地时,驻守无冬城的卫戍部队已将周围一公里的区域严密封锁起来。 But in a runway head of cement construction, three exactly the same test prototype was being pushed up the lift table by the soldier. 而在水泥浇筑的跑道一头,三架一模一样的测试样机正在被士兵推上升降台。 Oh! This is the new machinery that you said that” Thunder feels the chin to comment, looked only the contour can indeed remind the sea-bird, but compares to these strength greatly infinite Steam engine...... It is a little as if frail.” “喔!这就是您所说的新机械么,”雷霆摸着下巴评价道,“单看外形的确能让人联想起海鸟,但是比起那些力大无穷的蒸汽机……它似乎有点单薄啊。” As most reliable overseas ally, fjord outstanding explorer Thunder, as well as female merchant Margery nature in Roland invitation observing and emulating. Regarding former's appraisal, Roland is not surprised, after doing intentionally smiled mystically, his looks to Margery, how do you see?” 作为最可靠的海外盟友,峡湾杰出探险家雷霆,以及女商人玛格丽自然在罗兰的邀请观摩之列。对于前者的评价,罗兰并不感到意外,故作神秘地笑了笑之后,他偏头望向玛格丽,“你怎么看?” Returns to Your Majesty,” the latter confident say/way, to be honest, it and your beforehand creation difference are too really big, if not you invites personally, I think certainly that is Wonder Objects Society is using your pretence to deceive.” “回陛下,”后者坦然道,“老实说,它和您之前的造物差别实在太大,如果不是您亲口邀请,我一定会以为是奇物会在打着您的幌子行骗来着。” Wonder Objects Society?” Roland asked curiously, what organization that is?” 奇物会?”罗兰好奇地问,“那是什么组织?” Delusion of between one crowd the artisan and explorer situated in the guild that establishes,” Margery answered on and on, they were not glad to light of artisan, actually does not dare to join in the happy angry uncertain sea, therefore then concentrated on all kinds of strange inventions. Two years ago, some people make excessively similar thing-- one pair it is reported that to let the wood/blockhead wing that clothing flies.” “一群介于工匠和探险家之间的妄想者建立的行会,”玛格丽娓娓解释道,“他们不甘于工匠的平淡,却又不敢投身喜怒不定的大海,因此便把精力放在了各式各样的古怪发明上。两年前,就有人制造过类似的东西——一对据传能让穿戴者飞起来的木头翅膀。” Wood/Blockhead...... Wing?” “木头……翅膀?” With your some similar, but is more exquisite, similar person of length and breadth.” “和您的这个有一些相似,只不过要小巧许多,差不多一人长宽。” „Did he fly?” Nearby Wendy cannot bear ask. “那他飞起来了吗?”一旁的温蒂忍不住问道。 No,” Margery shakes the head, he puts on the wing, jumps down from high tower, the wing then turns over quickly, falls like the stone, his also falls the ground, died.” “没有,”玛格丽摇摇头,“他套上翅膀,从一座高塔上跳下,翅膀很快便翻转过来,像石头一样下坠,他也一头摔到地上,死了。” Wendy has swallowed a saliva. 温蒂不禁咽了口唾沫。 However that person before then, declared oneself have succeeded several times, but also has brought to the attention of several big chambers of commerce. Therefore this fraud not only made him become a joke, made Wonder Objects Society not much reputation more awful.” “而那人在此之前,却宣称自己已成功过数次,还引起了几个大商会的注意。因此这场骗局不仅令他成了一个笑话,也让奇物会本就不怎么样的名声变得更加糟糕了。” Roland hears here to have a feeling unavoidably, manufactures the wing with the wood/blockhead, obviously had realized as far as possible the big lifting force is the key of flight, only then with the flinty frame, can support enough area of thrust surface-- to this step, then basically got rid to the pure imitation of birds, the embryonic form of fixed wing from this is also born. 罗兰听到这里不免生出一丝感慨,拿木头来制作翅膀,显然是意识到了尽可能大的升力是飞行的关键,而只有用硬质框架,才能支撑起足够的受力面积——到这一步,便基本摆脱了对飞禽的单纯模仿,固定翼的雏形也由此诞生。 It can be said that the opposite party was considered as the trail blazer who explores the sky, at least compares to man-made wing, umbrella flight, cape flight and other historically has presented the brain hole to progress are too many. 可以说,对方已算得上是探索天空的先驱者,至少比起人造羽翼、雨伞飞行、斗篷飞行等历史上出现过的脑洞要进步太多。 Perhaps the success did not run off at the mouth several times, short-range glide experiment that but carries on under the low clearance, but the high place wind power is much bigger, in addition the wing lacks the control surface, instantaneous out-of-control is also the expected matter. 成功数次恐怕也不是信口胡说,而是在低高度下进行的近距滑翔实验,只不过高处风力要大得多,加上翅膀缺乏操作面,瞬间失控也是意料之中的事。 What a pity the fjord advocates to be able for the islander to bring the existing space explorer, regarding person who does not dare to go to sea, itself is very difficult to obtain the fair appraisal. 可惜峡湾崇尚能为岛民带来生存空间的探险家,对于不敢出海的人,本身就很难得到公正的评价。 He cannot be a swindler,” Roland said slowly, gets rid of the earth fetter and hug sky to need to pay the enormous price, if I do not have the help of witch, perhaps cannot avoid this process. If that person has the name, records this matter.” “他并不能算是一个骗子,”罗兰缓缓道,“摆脱大地束缚、拥抱天空本就需要付出极大的代价,如果我没有女巫的帮助,恐怕也免不了这一过程。如果那人有名字的话,就把此事记载下来吧。” Margery has gawked staring, afterward raised the skirt, as you wish, Your Majesty.” 玛格丽愣了愣,随后提起裙角,“如您所愿,陛下。” Before Roland goes to performs test flight, finally the preparation the vision " glider " -- and steam train and steel sea boat compare, it truly appears frail incomparable, even cannot be called a complete airplane. 罗兰将目光投向正在做试飞前最后准备的「滑翔机一型」——和蒸汽火车、钢铁海船比起来,它确实显得单薄无比,甚至不能称为一架完整的飞机。 Without the engine room, from top to bottom is expose skeleton outside, except for the long wing, other spots abbreviates including the outer covering. For the convenience escapes, the seat on the immediate packing in the pair of wings, comes up to be cruder than the model at first sight. 没有机舱,浑身上下全是暴露在外的骨架,除了硕长的翅膀,其余部位连蒙皮都省略下来。为了方便逃生,座位就直接安装在双翼之间,乍看上去比模型还简陋。 It is not same before all machineries, Roland to a flight domain blank, but simply knows the principle, does not have the means to make the genuine flight vehicle. 和之前的所有机械都不相同,罗兰对飞行领域可谓一片空白,而仅仅知道原理,是没办法制造出真正的飞行器的。 Therefore must first do, then first compiles «Flight handbook». 因此首先要做的,便是先编写出一本《飞行手册》来。 But these seem like crude test prototype, contained the basic control essential factor that a flight vehicle has needed. 而这些看似简陋的测试样机,已包含了一架飞行器所需的基本操控要素。 Non- wool chicken that although it was just born likely. 它虽然像是刚出生的无毛小鸡。 Actually is human beginning that spreads the wings to soar. 却是人类展翅飞翔的起点。
