Is sending out the sulfur and in the coal smell workshop, the machine thunders, boiler transpiration billowing steam, white smoke blowout chimneys. 散发着硫磺与煤炭气味的车间内,机器轰鸣,锅炉蒸腾着滚滚热气,将一股股白烟喷出烟囱。 In the workshop, hundreds and thousands of workers are working on the respective post streaming with sweat. Transporting coal, fuel, either is striking various machine parts manually. Some bulk machines are taking shape slowly , then just polished the frame. 车间内,成百上千的工人正在各自岗位上汗流浃背的工作着。或者搬运煤炭,燃料,或者手工敲打着各种机器零件。一些散装的机器正在缓慢成型,还有一些,则只是刚刚打磨出框架。 Walks in the steel forest Kiess Leef heavy industry workshop, Gelter was shocked by the present scene. The scene that this originally only then Nuln can see in the Empire heavy industry, saw in remote Kingdom unexpectedly. Moreover, the hugeness of scale, making one stare dumbfounded. 走在钢铁森林般的基斯利夫重工业厂房内,盖尔特被眼前的景象惊呆了。这原本只有在帝国重工业之都努恩才能看到的景象,竟然在偏远王国里见到了。而且,规模之巨大,令人瞠目结舌。 Gelter is unable to understand how this north Kingdom accumulates the seed capital of heavy industry development. Kiess Leef is not a powerful nation of traditional sense, its land is barren, in the border area region, the chaos caused by war is unceasing. Moreover, the transportation is not developed, only good harbour only then north Erengrad port. The so barren small country, how accumulates the first barrel of gold/metal development heavy industries, this makes Gelter be puzzling. 盖尔特无法理解这个北方王国是如何积累出重工业发展的初始资金的。基斯利夫并不是一个传统意义的强国,它土地贫瘠,地处边疆地带,战乱不断。而且,交通运输并不发达,唯一的良港只有北边的厄仑格拉德港。如此贫瘠的小国,是如何积累第一桶金发展重工业的,这点让盖尔特百思不得其解。 Those who keep Gelter from understanding, in this projectile small country, the ground of wild, gathered many engineer and machinist from Empire unexpectedly. 更让盖尔特无法理解的是,在这个弹丸小国,荒蛮之地上,竟然聚集了不少来自帝国的工程师和机械师。 Is anything attracts here these, Gelter is unable to know. Perhaps is the position and wealth? Mage thought that yes, or Rod to dig person, like the promise to oneself, promised that gives these Empire people. 是什么将这些吸引到这里,盖尔特无法知晓。或许是地位和财富？法师心想,是的,或者罗德为了挖人,也像许诺给自己一样,许诺给这些帝国人。 Front, Great Lord led him to visit entire bed frame Slipher Capital Ordnance factory. Here, Gelter saw made him startled fall down the thing — — steam tank of close to! 前方,大领主带着他参观了整座基斯利夫首都兵工厂。在这里,盖尔特看到了令他惊掉下巴的东西——蒸汽坦克！ This type kills greatly originally only then can see in the Empire industrialization highest province, even if in Nuln this tradition factory industry big city, the steam tank is also very rare. 这种大杀器原本只有在帝国工业化最高的行省才能看到,哪怕在努恩这种传统制造工业大城市里,蒸汽坦克也是十分罕见的。 This whole body is wrapping the armor with the steel giant beast, is the meat grinder in battlefield, it has both the speed and firepower, has the might of strongest long-distance attack weapons artillery, has the cavalry same mobility and flexibility, simply is the perfect war machine. 这种浑身包裹着装甲和钢铁巨兽,是战场上的绞肉机,它兼具速度与火力,拥有最强远程攻击武器火炮的威力,又具有骑兵一样的机动性和灵活性,简直是完美的战争机器。 But the steam tank takes the Empire town/subdues country divine tool, its fabrication technology never spreads the outside world. In Greenskin invades the southern Kingdom danger, Emperor is also only symbolic lends the Tilea city-state to use two steam tanks, in this period must pay the high rent and working cost. 而蒸汽坦克作为帝国的镇国神器,其制造工艺从未流传到外界。哪怕在绿皮入侵南方王国的危难之际,皇帝也只是象征性的将两辆蒸汽坦克借给提利尔城邦使用,期间还必须缴纳高昂的租借费和使用费。 But now is booing, Kiess Leef this northern border small country, unexpectedly direct oneself built the steam tank. Moreover, has three incessantly! Perhaps, cannot regard this small country with the traditional thought again, perhaps, it cannot again be a small country. Gelter thought. 而现在倒好,基斯利夫这个北疆小国,竟然直接自己打造出了蒸汽坦克。而且不止一辆,足足有三辆！或许,不能再用传统思维看待这个小国,又或许,它根本不能再算是小国了。盖尔特心想。 „Since there is a steam tank, why two moon/month ago when we go to battle with Hell Pit doesn't use?” “既然有蒸汽坦克,为什么两个月前我们出征地狱深坑时不用？” Walks in the weapon factory, Gelter inquired curiously. 走在兵工厂内,盖尔特好奇的询问到。 „Steam tank advantage is very distinct, the shortcoming is also very obvious. You saw, it is firm, the anti- attack, is powerful, and has the good mobility. However, this mobility establishes on the level terrain. Once meets the rugged mountain road or the narrow tunnel, then, its huge build on the contrary appears extremely fat and slow. Upper level Hell Pit smooth, but the lower level proliferates the tunnel, the main tunnel that even if Dwarf excavates, still can only hold a tank to enter reluctantly, there, its mobility cannot obtain any display, meets the underground gully and mountain range, is almost difficult. This type of terrain, might as well draws the artillery to get down more convenient directly.” “蒸汽坦克优势很明显,缺点也很明显。你看到了,它坚固,抗打击,火力强大,而且拥有不错的机动性。但是,这机动性是建立在平坦地形上的。一旦遇到崎岖的山路或者狭窄的隧道,那么,它庞大的体型反倒显得臃肿而迟钝。地狱深坑上层平坦,但是下层遍布隧道,即便矮人开凿的主隧道,也只能勉强容纳一辆坦克进入,在那里,它的机动性得不到任何发挥,遇到地下沟壑和山脉,几乎寸步难行。这种地形,还不如直接拉火炮下去方便一些。” Facing the inquiry, walks while explained that he who Rod has a relish knows that side Mage will certainly be attracted by these thing, as golden Mage, will make Gelter forget to return to here to infatuated of metal. 面对提问,罗德饶有兴致的边走边解释,他知道身边的法师一定会被这些玩意所吸引,作为黄金巫师,对金属的痴迷会让盖尔特对这里流连忘返。 In average person opinion, the heavy industry production workshop environment is suffocating, the steam and furnace, the boiling hot molten iron, made one feel dry and hot and fears. But to Gelter, that perhaps is the wonderful heaven. That perhaps is he most perfect big laboratory. But Rod wants, Gelter's such laboratory technician transforms oneself this big workshop. 在普通人看来,重工业生产车间环境令人窒息,蒸汽和熔炉,滚烫的铁水,都令人感到燥热和恐惧。而对于盖尔特来说,那或许就是美妙的天堂。那或许就是他最完美的大实验室。而罗德要的,也正是盖尔特这样的实验家来改造自己这间大车间。 „Really was too inconceivable, I slightly heard before, now looks like, legend real.” “真是太不可思议了,我之前只是略有听闻,现在看来,传说都是真的。” Gelter walks while is sighing. 盖尔特边走边感叹着。 He arrives before a steam tank of largest size, carefully is observing this big machine that may be called the miracle, surrounds it to pace. 他走到其中一辆最大号的蒸汽坦克前,仔细观察着这辆堪称奇迹的大机器,环绕着它踱步起来。 „Ices Queen coldly, the Kiess Leef's first steam tank.” “寒冰女王号,基斯利夫第一辆蒸汽坦克。” Rod brief introduction. 罗德简短的介绍到。 Where does Gelter want to inquire makes the funds of these machines and these big workshops from comes? However he also knows, this is not the matter that he should inquire. This is a Kingdom fiscal secret, what we definitely know is that this is not the capital that the conventional method must come, as for using what method, no ruler will consider truthfully. 盖尔特很想提问制造这些机器和这些大车间的资金从哪来？但是他也知道,这不是他该提问的事情。这是一个王国的财政机密,可以肯定的是,这绝不是常规手段得来的资本,至于用了什么手段,没有一个统治者会如实相告的。 Gelter noticed this named to ice Queen the giant wheel of steam tank coldly. It and common Empire tank somewhat are also different. In that eight steel felloes, this steam tank that is from Kiess Leef were also many steel to roll the belt/bring. 盖尔特注意到了这辆名为寒冰女王号的蒸汽坦克的巨轮。它和一般的帝国坦克又有些不同。在那八颗钢铁车轮外围,这辆产自基斯利夫的蒸汽坦克又多了一圈钢铁滚带。 With rolling brings to describe that perhaps is not quite appropriate, this is continual section comprised of the innumerable tiny cylindrical steel balls. These small circular cylinders splice in together, closely wraps the wheel of steam tank. The appearance is very strange, but is disclosing several points of aggression. 用滚带来形容或许不太贴切,这是由无数细小圆柱形钢珠组成的连续截面。这些小圆柱体拼接在一起,将蒸汽坦克的车轮紧紧包裹起来。样子十分古怪,但却透露着几分霸气。 Gelter thinks this thing to protect the wheel design at first, when Rod said its real use, Gelter was subdued — — again 盖尔特起初以为这玩意是为了保护车轮设计的,但是当罗德说出它的真实用途时,盖尔特再一次被折服了—— „This is a caterpillar band.” Rod explained, „front said that the steam tank biggest weak trend is unable to go in the rugged road surface, the giant wheel like carriage wheel was caught by various types of pits easily, in the road surface had not the smooth place slightly, the unwieldy tank was also very difficult to pass. But had this thing to be different.” “这是履带。”罗德解释到,“前面说了,蒸汽坦克最大的弱势就是无法在崎岖路面上行驶,像马车车轮一样的巨大轮子容易被各种凹坑卡住,路面上稍有不平坦的地方,笨重的坦克也很难通过。而有了这个东西就不一样了。” Rod refers to the structure that circle tiny steel ball constituted , to continue to speak of — — 罗德指了指那圈细小钢珠构成的结构,继续说到—— „It will greatly strengthen the steam tank cross barrier the ability, the steel ball strip of continual trundle will drive the entire tank advance, but not because of alone some wheel card main, but is unable to move. The simple point is this caterpillar band all wheel even/including for together, rather than independent existence.” “它将大大增强蒸汽坦克跨障碍的能力,连续滚动的钢珠条将带动整辆坦克前进,而不会因为单独某只车轮卡主而无法动弹。说简单点就是这条履带将所有车轮连为一起,而不是单独的存在。” Gelter listens, the mouth presents a big circular, he was shocked by the present divine creative force again. This seems like that a very common divine creative force, improved the Empire steam tank several hundred-year disadvantage directly. But this, looks like in Rod, is insufficiently. 盖尔特听完,嘴巴呈现一个大大的圆形,他被眼前的造物再次惊呆了。这看似很不起眼的一个造物,直接改良了帝国蒸汽坦克长达数百年的劣势。而这,在罗德看来,还是不够。 Gelter felt suddenly oneself came to the place. In Empire, various indeed infrastructures and economic strengths above Kiess Leef, but, Kiess Leef has the Empire far inferior creativity and fair play. 盖尔特忽然感觉自己来对地方了。在帝国,的确各种基础建设和经济实力都远在基斯利夫之上,但是,基斯利夫却有着帝国远不及的创造力和公平条件。 Perhaps in Empire capital Altdorf, the oneself one day can also succeed finally, but, that must consume lots of useless energy and financial resource. He must bribe lots of officials, for the campaign school Dean purchase „qualifications admission ticket”. Meanwhile, bribes the scholar, rounds up the ballot. When these funds all spend, true remaining for studying fund of experiment miserable. 在帝国首都阿尔道夫,自己或许终有一日也能成功,但是,那必须耗费大量无用的精力和财力。他必须贿赂大量的官员,为竞选学院院长购买“资格门票”。同时,贿赂学者,拉选票。当这些资金花完,真正剩下的用于研究实验的资金已经少得可怜了。 But the competitor, possibly is some rich and powerful family member, depends on the family resources, levelling various relations are not difficult, he can have so much funds and resources does the true Magic research, thus leads others many. 而竞争者,可能是某个财大势大的家族成员,依托家族资源,摆平各种关系并不难,他可以拥有大量的资金和资源做真正的魔法研究,从而领先他人许多。 Gelter knows that the oneself strength was far less than Altdorf these tradition big aristocrats come intrepidly, therefore, wants to become outstanding in Empire, must pay will be the incomparably huge price. Moreover, the hope is uncertain. But here, not only does not need oneself to pay the wealth to seek the outlet, the above person gave oneself to spread the path directly, the laboratory, the manpower and resources financial resource directly provides, although condition far inferior Empire, but, made one see the true hope, under thought over, Gelter only thought that oneself should incomparably treasure this opportunity. Perhaps, in this world, except for Kiess Leef, does not have other countries to give such treatment again. 盖尔特知道自己的实力远不如阿尔道夫那些传统大贵族来得强悍,所以,想要在帝国出人头地,要付出的将是无比巨大的代价。而且,希望渺茫。而在这里,不仅不用自己付出钱财谋出路,上面的人直接给自己铺好道路,实验室,人力物力财力直接提供好了,虽然条件远不及帝国,但是,却让人看到了真正的希望,掂量之下,盖尔特只觉得自己应该无比珍惜这次机会。或许,这世上,除了基斯利夫,再也没有其他国家可以给出这样的待遇。 He even forgot Rod must establish the commitment of metallic system College of Magic, to Gelter, this big laboratory, is this North Great Lord gives him the best gift. 他甚至忘记了罗德要成立金属系魔法学院的承诺,对于盖尔特来说,这间大实验室,已经是这位北境大领主给他最好的礼物。
