The long waiting waited for the answer finally, seven days later, in travel of hotel rose, Bayer Ze Gelter received the signalling from Erengrad city hall, wants his 10 : 00 am on time to the city hall second floor welcome room, municipal officer Alvis there, received him. 漫长的等待终于等来了答复,七天后,玫瑰之旅旅馆里,拜尔沙泽・盖尔特收到了来自厄仑格拉德市政厅的传信,要他明天上午十时准时到市政大厅二楼的迎宾房,市政官阿尔维斯将在那里,接见他。 Gelter who receives the message is wild with joy, as if oneself was also near one step from the success life. 收到消息的盖尔特欣喜若狂,仿佛自己距离成功人生又近了一步。 Although oneself also anything does not have now, without the fund, without the manpower, is, by the oneself ability, is competent this work sufficiently . Moreover, looks over entire Kislev, except for oneself, it is estimated that also no one can be competent this work. 虽然自己现在还什么都没有,没有资金,没有人手,可是,以自己的能力,足以胜任这项工作,而且,纵观整个基斯里夫,除了自己,估计也没人可以胜任这份工作。 Entire north Kislev, Wizard basically is frost cold Mage, these Witch all sorts of flowers, putting several rounds of ice arrows are good, knows nothing regarding the project and machinery. 整个北国基斯里夫,魔法师基本上都是霜寒巫师,那些女巫种种花,放几发冰箭还行,对于工程和机械可谓一窍不通。 Gelter believes that very difficult project that so-called King of the North Rod wants, only if the Empire Alchemy master helps one another, otherwise is unable to complete, but in the Empire Alchemy master, is willing to arrive at the place of this wild, perhaps are not also many. 盖尔特相信,那个所谓的北境之王罗德要的这种高难度的工程,除非帝国炼金术士相助,否则根本无法完成,而帝国炼金术士里,愿意来到这荒蛮之地的,恐怕亦不多。 Therefore oneself is very hopeful. Gelter this thinking, cannot help but in high spirits. 所以自己还是很有希望的。盖尔特这种想着,不由得精神焕发起来。 Next day, after the stupid bell of White Bear avenue bell tower was sounded ten next, Empire Alchemy master Gelter has put on neatly, arrived at a city hall building to wait. 第二天,当白熊大街钟楼的笨钟被敲响十下之后,帝国炼金术士盖尔特已经穿着整齐,来到市政大厅一楼等候了。 On that day received his window registrant to get him to get up second floor. Gelter is self-confident, has an imposing appearance. Everyone who in the corridor passed by seems greeting general with oneself. 那天接待他的那名窗口登记员领着他上了二楼。盖尔特自信满满,气宇轩昂。走廊里路过的每个人仿佛都在与自己打招呼一般。 Then, Gelter stride follows behind the reception clerk, entered the reception room. His originally thought this meeting makes an appointment with alone his. However, after Gelter enters the front door, discovered that here was filled with other merchants and aristocrats unexpectedly. Without a doubt, they and oneself are the same, is the guest of municipal officer. 就这样,盖尔特大步跟在接待员后面,走进了接待室。他原本以为这次会见是单独约见他的。然而,当盖尔特走进大门后,才发现这里竟然坐满了其他商人和贵族。毫无疑问,他们和自己一样,是市政官的宾客。 Guests...... damn...... this title unexpectedly is not so here valuable! 宾客……该死的……这个称谓在这里竟然这么不值钱！ Gelter was cursing one at heart. Actually can only helpless sitting in the crowd, wait for that dwarf to meet in front of him these people...... 盖尔特在心里咒骂了一句。却只能无奈的坐在人群里,等待那个侏儒会见完他前面的那些人…… The visitors have the merchant and aristocrat, Knight...... some people even wore the rough linen cotton-padded jacket to walk. Obviously, the person status that the Erengrad municipal administration officer met with varies, as if the aristocrat and big merchant do not have many advantages here, must wait with these ordinary Knight. 来访者有商人、贵族,还有骑士……有些人甚至穿着粗糙的麻布棉衣就走了进来。显然,厄仑格拉德市政官会见的人身份各异,似乎贵族和大商人在这里也没有多少优势,也要和那些普通骑士一起等候。 Gelter only thought that oneself received the insult. In Empire, aristocrat how can there be scene of Knight with waiting. Also only then here, will meet this rare and beautiful flowers scene. 盖尔特只觉得自己受到了侮辱。在帝国,贵族岂有和骑士同等待的场面。也只有在这里,才会遇到这种奇葩场景。 However, for money, he can only wait , can only endure patiently. For if not for two years later campaigns for a Altdorf gold school Dean duty, oneself will definitely not come to here. Kislev, how develops again, eventually is together the place of remote wild. Even if gives him hundred years, cannot follow the liveliness of Empire capital city Altdorf. 但是,为了金钱,他只能等待,只能忍耐下来。若不是为了两年后竞选阿尔道夫黄金学院院长一职,自己肯定不会来这里。基斯里夫,再怎么发展,终究是一块偏僻荒蛮之地。就算给他百年,也跟不上帝国都城阿尔道夫的繁华。 However, is the place of this wild, Gelter actually has to come together at this time. Because the golden school Dean campaign needs the fund. 但是,就是这样一块荒蛮之地,盖尔特此时却不得不来。因为黄金学院院长竞选是需要资金的。 Moreover, compares in other aspects, the fund is most important. Spreads famous saying — — to have nothing in the Empire aristocrat circle is the matter that one bag of gold are unable to solve, if present, that adds one bag again. 而且,相比于其他方面,资金可谓是重中之重。在帝国贵族圈子里流传着一句名言——没有什么是一袋金子无法解决的事,如果有,那就再加一袋。 Gelter fully realizes money in the Empire charm and wondrous use, therefore, to achieve the oneself goal, he then has to first bear patiently, arrives at Erengrad, seeks sharp increase of wealth. 盖尔特深知金钱在帝国的魅力和妙用,所以,为了达到自己的目标,他便不得不先隐忍下来,来到厄仑格拉德,寻求财富的暴增。 After half an hour, Gelter met with by Erengrad municipal administration officer Alvis finally alone. 半个钟头后,盖尔特终于被厄仑格拉德市政官阿尔维斯单独会见了。 With the hearsay , the municipal officer is a diminutive dwarf, although he sits on the high chair, front also broad, attaches the boasting the desk. However, his image in Gelter opinion, is still diminutive. 和传闻中一样,市政官是一个矮小的侏儒,尽管他坐在高高的椅子上,面前还有一张宽阔,附着牛皮的办公桌。但是,他的形象在盖尔特看来,依旧矮小。 „Bayer Ze Gelter, Altdorf Alchemy master, sorry, making you wait for a long time.” “拜尔沙泽・盖尔特,阿尔道夫炼金术士,抱歉,让你久等了。” The municipal officer first started talking. This surprises Gelter somewhat, his originally thought as the Kislev most important city, should be an arrogance, arrogant stance. After all, here, needs an audience with he, flattered his person so many. However, when this named Alvis the mayor spoke, Gelter actually feels his humbleness and sincerity. 市政官首先开口说话了。这让盖尔特有些意外,他原本以为身为基斯里夫最重要的港口城市市长,应该是一副傲慢,盛气凌人的姿态。毕竟,在这里,需要觐见他,奉承他的人那么多。然而,当这位叫阿尔维斯的市长说话时,盖尔特却从中感受到了他的谦卑与真诚。 „...... Is all right...... will not be in fact long.” “哦……没事……事实上也不会太久。” For a while how Gelter does not know replied, but stiff put out several pleasantries. 盖尔特一时不知道怎么回答,只是僵硬的吐出了几句客套话。 „Must have an audience with my goal about you, engineering project that you must contract, I see probably. Then, please under simple description tentative plan about Erengrad winter spring area water supply project.” “关于你要觐见我的目的,还有你要承包的工程项目,我已经大概了解了。那么,请你简单描述下关于厄仑格拉德冬泉区供水工程的设想。” Alvis supplements — — 阿尔维斯补充到—— „Your tentative plan, your plan.” “你的设想,还有你的方案。” Gelter was shocked. He has not thought that this dwarf municipal administration officer begins unnecessary pleasantries not to have, to come straight to the point unexpectedly, asked the proper business directly. This makes Gelter some not adapt. He one day ago prepared an official language of big pile of beginnings also to have the polite expression, now looks like, actually a point could not apply. This Municipal Senior Official also is really different kind, the beginning enters the subject. However ponders, this Alvis must see right in front of one so many people every day, if each Empire aristocrat etiquette regards, it is estimated that a day could not complete many matters. 盖尔特又被愣住了。他没有想到这位侏儒市政官竟然开场一句多余的客套话都没有,开门见山,直接问起了正事。这让盖尔特有些不适应。他一天前准备了一大堆开场的官方语言还有礼貌措辞,如今看来,却一点都派不上用场。这位市政长官还真是个异类,开场直入主题。不过细想起来,这个阿尔维斯每天要面见那么多人,如果每个帝国贵族都礼仪性的问候一遍,估计一天就办不成多少事了。 „Good, municipal officer Sir.” “好的,市政官大人。” Gelter voice, speaking of — — 盖尔特正了正嗓音,说到—— „I look to winter the introduction and request of spring area water supply project. Please with all due respect, Sir, this project seems like, although common, but the difficulty is huge. First, the water supply uses the pure water source, is the upstream river water and mountain spring. This needs the heavy-caliber long-distance range the supply water conduct, because the Erengrad topography is not an entire plain, but has the hill to fluctuate. Therefore, the design of supply water conduct is very complex, when necessary, even must make the high structure potable water bridge. This involves the bridge construction and hydraulic engineering.” “我看过冬泉区供水工程的介绍和要求。请恕我直言,大人,这项工程看起来虽然不起眼,但是难度巨大。首先,供水采用纯净水源,也就是上游河水和山泉。这就需要大口径远距离的主供水管道,由于厄仑格拉德的地势并不是全平原,而是有丘陵起伏。所以,主供水管道的设计十分复杂,必要的时候,甚至要建造高架饮水桥。这涉及到桥梁施工和水利工程。” Gelter raises the sound, is emphasizing project the hugeness of difficulty. Meanwhile, is the plan that oneself then put forward lays the good groundwork. More emphasizes the hugeness of project difficulty, if at the appointed time oneself can finish smoothly, then, can take this as the merit, the acquired reward are also more. 盖尔特拔高声音,强调着工程的难度之巨大。同时,也为自己接下来提出的方案做好铺垫。越是强调工程难度之巨大,届时若是自己能顺利完工,那么,可以以此为功劳,获得的报酬也就越多。 Opposite Alvis patient is listening, nods, hints Gelter to continue. 对面的阿尔维斯则耐心的听着,点了点头,示意盖尔特继续。 „Dual projects, this need two different specialized talents operate with joint forces. The difficulty actually constructing the grand theater is bigger. Moreover, said the material issue again. Generally speaking, the market previous now the metallic material for water pipe is the iron. However the iron is easy to rust, less than several years, must replace one time, later overhauls the expense to be huge. Naturally, can be used in the metallic material also incessantly iron of water pipe, the lead and gold and silver copper. Money naturally does not need to consider, no one will be luxurious to using gold and silver makes the water pipe, the Empire wealthiest aristocrat this.” “双重工程,这需要两个不同专业的人才合力运作。难度其实比兴建大剧院还大。另外,再说说材料问题。一般来说,市场上现在用于水管的金属材料是铁。但是铁容易生锈,没过几年,就要更换一次,后期检修费用巨大。当然,可以用于水管的金属材料还不止铁,铅、金银铜也可以。金银自然不用考虑,没有谁会奢侈到用金银去做水管,帝国最富裕的贵族也不会这样做。” „However lead, although is low-cost, the cost is low. However the lead is poisonous, the long-term use galvanized pipes, will cause the lead poisoning. As for copper, indeed besides appealing to several materials, best one. It is uncorruptible, stable, resistant to compression. However just like gold and silver, its is high-cost. In Altdorf, only then the upper aristocrat will use the copper water pipe.” “而铅,虽然价格便宜,成本低。但是铅有毒,长期使用铅水管,会导致铅中毒。至于铜,的确是除了上诉几种材料外,最佳的一种。它不易腐蚀,稳定,抗压。但是和金银一样,它的成本高昂。在阿尔道夫,只有上层贵族才会使用铜水管。” Gelter starts to speak but hesitates, he wants to continue on this topic, matter that but, this involves the face, has to press. Gelter wants to know, behind this municipal officer that person, that man named Rod, how thinks. Must also cover the nature water supply to the civilian area of city , this is a doing a thankless job work. 盖尔特欲言又止,他本想就此话题继续说下去,但是,这涉及到面子的事,又只好压下去。盖尔特很想知道,这位市政官背后的那个人,那个叫罗德的男人,是怎么想的。要给城市的平民区也覆盖自然供水,要知道,这是一项吃力不讨好的工作。 not like port and harbor construction, water supply system establishes to Lord, the ruler will not bring the direct income, most improves the resident life health standard, making their life more convenient is more hygienic. 不像港口建设,供水系统的建立不会给领主,统治者带来直接的收益,最多就是改善居民生活健康水平,让他们的生活更便利更卫生而已。 But this, in Altdorf, was hardly considered. All civilians are fetch water from the river directly. Eaten using, the platoon,...... in a river in riverside evil reputation, another is fetching water but actually, is the common matter...... the urban managers almost never inquires. Only then these aristocrats, will give the oneself villa and mansion establishment water supply system. These beautiful fountains, are the results of private construction. 而这点,在阿尔道夫,几乎不被考虑。所有的平民都是直接从河里取水。吃的用的,排的,都在一条河里……一家在河边倒屎盆子,另一家在取水,也是常有的事……城市管理者几乎不曾过问。只有那些贵族们,会给自己的别墅和豪宅设置供水系统。那些漂亮的喷泉,便是私家施工的结果。 Although the city supplies water to make Gelter wonder comprehensively very much, but this is not his consideration range. He must consider that but how to make oneself take this project, and draws cash to leave smoothly. 虽然城市全面供水让盖尔特很是纳闷,但这并不是他的考虑范围。他要考虑的,只是如何让自己拿下这项工程,并且顺利拿钱走人而已。 „Good that said that is this.” “说的不错,正是这样。” Alvis nods to express the support suddenly. 阿尔维斯突然点头表示赞同。 „That, your solution?” “那么,你的解决方案？” The municipal officer continues to ask. 市政官继续问到。 Gelter raises the head, observes the situation audience — — proudly 盖尔特昂起头颅,骄傲的环视全场—— „My method is the ynthetic metal!” “我的方法是合成金属！” He every single word or phrase. 他一字一句顿到。 „Traditional metal is unable to achieve the aspects all, they have the advantage respectively, has the shortcoming respectively. But I, can make the different metals fuse, even changes their attributes, making it turn into more perfect metallic material.” “传统的金属无法做到方方面面俱到,它们各有优势,也各有缺点。而我,可以让不同金属进行融合,甚至改变它们的属性,使其变成更加完美的金属材料。” „Sir, my plan is to use the iron copper alloy, completes this project. The iron has the price advantage, but copper, then can be anti-corrosive. Both unify, then makes the high-quality material of water pipe. I will cover a copper membrane in the iron pipe surface, is primarily the iron raw material, the copper is the accessory material, only needs the little copper, can cover an entire section of iron water pipe. Thus, namely solved the molten iron manages easy rusty difficult problem, solved the copper pipe high-cost problem.” “大人,我的方案就是利用铁铜合金,完成这项工程。铁具有价格优势,而铜,则可以耐腐蚀。两者结合,便是制造水管的优质材料。我将会在铁管表面镀上一层铜膜,以铁为主原料,铜为辅助材料,只需要一点点的铜,就可以覆盖一整截的铁质水管。这样,即解决了铁水管易生锈的难题,又解决了铜管成本高昂的问题。” Gelter said, opposite municipal officer obvious corner of the eye twitched. Obviously, this is the idea of most talent Alvis hears. However he some were still indefinite. In the past, the person who coming to here to deceive to eat to deceive to drink are many are. Said that oneself is talented, the ability is excellent, however, mixes eats to mix to drink for several months later, the issue has not been solved, at the same night travels also has plenty of such people. Therefore, Alvis must somewhat suspect. 盖尔特说完,对面的市政官明显眼角抽动了起来。显然,这是阿尔维斯听到的最天才的想法。但是他仍然有些不确定。以往,来这里骗吃骗喝的人多得是。自称自己才华横溢,能力过人,然而,混吃混喝几个月后,问题没有解决,连夜跑路的也大有人在。所以,阿尔维斯必须有几分疑心。 „That material that you said that your whether on site does show me?” “那么,你说的那种材料,你可否现场制作一份给我看看？” Alvis asked earnestly. 阿尔维斯认真问到。 „Sir, on site is not perhaps good, that need chemical reaction laboratory. However, I brought me already the sample that completes ahead of time.” “大人,现场制作恐怕不行,那需要化学反应实验室。但是,我带来了我已经提前做好的样品。” Gelter is saying, pulled out a small section of strange metal from the bosom. At this time, people saw clearly that section of small bonding jumper. But nearby guard, was so shocked they broke out in a cold sweat, a moment ago when routine inspection, has not inspected on this young people also to have the hardware unexpectedly. All the person in reception room, can not wear the weapons. But this Empire youth, hid a scrap metal unexpectedly secretly secretly, moreover had not been detected slightly. Is good because, that indeed is only a small section of metal. It is not sharp, presents the column shape, the copper yellow. 盖尔特说着,从怀里掏出了一小截奇怪的金属。这时候,人们才看清那截小小的金属条。而一旁的守卫则被惊出了一身冷汗,刚才例行检查时,竟然没有检查出这个年轻人身上还带有金属器具。要知道,所有进接待室的人,都不得佩戴武器。而这个帝国青年,竟然私自偷藏了一小块金属,而且丝毫没被人察觉。好在,那的确只是一小截金属而已。一点都不锋利,呈现圆柱状,铜黄色。
