White Oak was still leading the way in the mist, the rushing power drive of steam core output its that huge and efficient propulsion system, making it fast across this piece by the sea area that the mist covered. 白橡木号仍旧在薄雾中前行着,蒸汽核心输出的澎湃动力驱动了它那庞大而高效的推进系统,令它快速穿过这片被雾气覆盖的海域。 The weather does not know when the tarnish a point, the cold wind in sea level made people more ill, Lawrence tightened the coat, thought that today the time in the deck catching a chill is long enough, then turned around to return to the bridge. 天色不知何时变暗了一点,海面上的冷风令人更加不适,劳伦斯紧了紧大衣,觉得今天在甲板上吹风的时间已经够久,便转身回到了舰桥里。 The young pastor who puts on near the black bottom silver the blue mark long gown is praying by the machine, and sways the incense furnace in hand slightly, making the smog linger on several control benches, after seeing Captain, he stopped, expressed best wishes to the Lawrence nod politely. 一位穿着黑底银边蓝纹长袍的年轻牧师正在机器旁祝祷,并微微摇晃手中的熏香炉,令烟雾萦绕在几个控制台上,在见到船长之后,他停了下来,礼貌地对劳伦斯点头致意。 He is pastor Johnson of along with the ship this navigation, Lawrence does not get to know each other well with this young Priest —— in fact , to continue the abnormal goods transportation task Captain to face the strange reverend mostly frequently, the pastor on their ship from the City-State church direct designation frequent change, pastor following ships will usually only complete two to three navigation duties along with the ship, but this alternative form naturally also for security concern. 他是这趟航行的随船牧师詹森,劳伦斯与这位年轻的神官并不相熟——事实上,大部分承接异常物品运输任务的船长都要经常面对陌生的神职者,他们船上的牧师由城邦教堂直接指派并频繁更替,一个随船牧师通常只会跟着船只完成两到三次航行任务,而这种替换制度当然也是为了安全考虑。 After all, carries out the ships of transport of dangerous goods to be affected by transcendent strength inevitably, but as the transcendent barrier of entire ship, the pastor will undertake almost all transcendent to interfere with the brought pressure along with the ship, includes the pollution that on the ship the goods bring, pressure that also the member including the ship has in the navigation process- The Reality influence that the dream that even each crew has in the evening has, will feed back in pastor daily praying and ceremony. 毕竟,执行危险品运输的船只不可避免地会受到超凡力量的影响,而作为全船的超凡屏障,随船牧师将承担几乎所有的超凡干涉所带来的压力,这其中包括船上物品带来的污染,也包括船上成员在航行过程中产生的精神压力—-甚至每一个船员晚上做的梦所产生的现实影响,都将反馈在牧师每天的祝祷和仪式里。 Along with the ship the pastor is also a mortal, bears the pressure under the specific transcendent influence for a long time, will then be assimilated and affected inevitably, several times after oceangoing voyage, they will then lose to the keen induction of transcendent pollution, even possibly becomes the crevice of Subspace invasion, therefore under normal conditions, 随船牧师也是凡人,长期在特定的超凡影响下承受压力,便会不可避免地被同化、影响,数次远洋航行之后,他们便会失去对超凡污染的敏锐感应,甚至可能成为亚空间入侵的裂隙,所以通常情况下, The pastor of action must return to the ashore after period of time along with the ship, conducts the purification and spirituality of period of time in the specific church remoulds, later most of them can restore, was arranged to continue to be along with the ship the pastor to other ships on, but some left the energetic hidden danger, then can only be far away from the sea, the remaining years of life takes Priest on land , to continue to serve for Church. 随船行动的牧师在一段时间后就必须返回岸上,在特定的教堂中进行一段时间的净化和灵性重塑,随后他们中的大部分可以恢复,便被安排到其他船上继续担任随船牧师,而有一些留下了精神隐患的,便只能远离大海,余生作为陆地上的神官,继续为教会服务。 Therefore in some sense, these respectable pastors are also the consumables in navigation. 因此某种意义上,这些可敬的牧师也是航海中的消耗品。 But on the other hand who isn't the consumables in navigation? 但话又说回来谁又不是航海中的消耗品呢？ Mr. Johnson, machine situation how? Lawrence nods to the present young pastor, cared that the inquiry said. 詹森先生,机器情况如何？劳伦斯对眼前的年轻牧师点点头,关心地询问道。 Well-functioning, Mr. Captain, the young pastor said, the voice is very gentle, I went to the lower-level mechanical cabin a moment ago, entire power system and steam conduit all normal. 运转良好,船长先生,年轻牧师说道,嗓音很平和,我刚才去了下层的机械舱,整个动力系统和蒸汽管道都一切正常。 Lawrence nods satisfied, talked at will several with this young pastor, then before arriving at the broad window of bridge front, is looking at outside scene. 劳伦斯满意地点了点头,又与这位年轻牧师随意交谈了几句,便来到舰桥前方的宽阔窗口前,望着外面的景象。 In deck dusky, outside weather is somewhat dark, in the sky is covering the chaos fuzzy cloud cluster, filled the air optics levitation in cloud layers, sprinkles to the sea level —— weather worn out is poor, but here leaves Cold Frost is not far, should be insufficient before arriving in City-State by the storm and so on bad situation surrounds. 甲板上灰蒙蒙的,外面的天色有些暗,天空中笼罩着混沌模糊的云团,弥漫的光漂浮在云层间,有气无力地洒落到海面——天色不怎么好,但这里离寒霜已经不远,应该不至于在抵达城邦之前被风暴之类的糟糕情况困住。 Lawrence knits the brows suddenly, looks to sitting a crew before not far away control bench: That side Cold Frost hasn't responded to our signals? 劳伦斯突然皱了皱眉,看向坐在不远处一个控制台前的船员:寒霜那边还是没有回应我们的信号吗？ No, the crew that is responsible for monitoring the telegraph system shakes the head, his head has the earphone, a hand grabs the pencil, on a front small machine is shining the orange light, has not received the feedback of signal- However from the position, we have arrived the distance of being able with the Cold Frost harbor direct link. 没有,负责监听电报系统的船员摇了摇头,他头上戴着耳机,一只手抓着铅笔,面前的一台小机器上则亮着橘黄色的灯光,也没有收到信号的反馈—-但是从位置上,我们已经到可以跟寒霜港口直接联系的距离了。 It is not quite right, old Captain felt finally an anxiety, he looked up to the distant place, the expression is gradually dignified, this time, this position, we should be able to see the Cold Frost coastline... 不太对劲,老船长终于感觉到了一丝不安,他又抬头看向远方,表情渐渐凝重,这个时间,这个位置,我们应该可以看到寒霜的海岸线了… He has turned the head suddenly, looks to first mate own: Has the route confirmed? 他突然转过头,看向自己的大副:航线确认过了吗？ Had just confirmed that our positions right. 刚刚确认过,我们的位置没错。 Lawrence is knitting the brows, a moment later, he inspires suddenly lightly: I confirmed personally again, prepared the stargazing room. 劳伦斯皱着眉,片刻之后,他突然轻吸口气:我亲自再去确认一趟,准备一下观星室。 Hears the Captain words, the first mate hesitated obviously, but before he opens the mouth, that young pastor Johnson along with the ship then walked, said to Lawrence: Captain, your age is not quite suitable the stargazing room...... 听到船长的话,大副显然犹豫了一下,但在他开口之前,那位年轻的随船牧师詹森便走了过来,对劳伦斯说道:船长,您这个年纪已经不太适合进观星室了…… Lawrence turned the head to look at young pastor one eyes, has not spoken. 劳伦斯转头看了年轻的牧师一眼,并没说话。 He knows the meaning of opposite party- Enters the stargazing room to need to withstand certain pollution, to mind of person will result in the pressure from Deep Sea and light shadow of Spirit World band, but had drifted old Captain of most lifetime as one in Boundless Sea, when his mind already not like young is so normal, completely, likely loses oneself in the process of observation crowd of stars. 他知道对方的意思—-进入观星室是需要承受一定污染的,源自幽邃和灵界夹层的光影会对人的心智造成压力,而作为一个已经在无垠海漂泊了大半辈子的老船长,他的心智早已不像年轻时那么正常、完整,在观察群星的过程中就很可能迷失自己。 But most times, Captain that only then gets old has enough experience, can from the subtle change of star light see that the ships drift traces —— this point is these mind vigorous and healthy young navigators cannot achieve. 但在很多时候,又只有上了年纪的船长才有足够的经验,能够从星光的细微变化中看到船只偏航的蛛丝马迹——这一点是那些心智健壮的年轻导航员做不到的。 I complete as soon as possible, after looking at each other for several seconds, Lawrence finally opens the mouth, the expression is very earnest, I suspected that the ship has drifted off course, but that side the stargazing room has losing accuracy, I have the calibration experience. 我尽快完成,对视了几秒后,劳伦斯终于开口,表情很认真,我怀疑船已经偏航了,但观星室那边存在失准,我有校准经验。 Confirmed the Lawrence firm attitude, the pastor also can only sigh along with the ship, draws back to side:...... You are Captain, Captain is the law on ship- I prepare to protect for you. 确认了劳伦斯的坚定态度,随船牧师也只能叹了口气,向旁边退开:……您是船长,船长就是船上的法律—-我为您准备防护。 Lawrence nods, turn head looked at a bow direction. 劳伦斯点点头,又回头看了一眼船首的方向。 In expected can see the Cold Frost coastline in the direction, still boundless endless sea, as well as limitless mist. 在预期能够看到寒霜海岸线的方向上,仍然只有苍茫无尽的大海,以及无边无际的薄雾。 He takes back the line of sight, moves toward to the channel of stargazing room. 他收回视线,走向通往观星室的通道。 Leaves the bridge, across a corridor, steps together to the staircase that lower level White Oak extends, middle after several connection sections and several leafed doors, is the position that the stargazing room is. 离开舰桥,穿过一条走廊,踏上一道向白橡木号下层延伸的楼梯,中间通过几个连接舱段和几扇门之后,便是观星室所在的位置。 In cabin lowest level. 在船舱的最底层。 Lawrence stands before the gate, pastor Johnson starts to bustle about along with the ship, this young reverend increased the specially-made spice and holy oil for the incense furnace, is reading aloud obscurely the scrip­tures that is difficult to understand, while sways the chains in hand, the aura that the command fumigates with incense fills the air gradually around Lawrence, later took out a to describe many storm rune ceremony knives, has delimited Lawrence front air with it, to symbolize the asylum of Goddess of Storm Gamona to be arriving at this. 劳伦斯站在门前,随船牧师詹森开始忙碌起来,这位年轻的神职者为熏香炉中添加了特制的香料与圣油,一边念诵着晦涩难懂的经文,一边摇晃手中的锁链,令熏香的气息渐渐弥漫在劳伦斯周围,随后又取出了一柄描绘着诸多风暴符文的仪式小刀,用它划过劳伦斯面前的空气,以象征着风暴女神葛莫娜的庇护降临此地。 The White Oak navigator has heard the news to catch up, this is the complexion slightly pale young people, he seems somewhat anxious, after seeing Captain must enter the stargazing room confirmation route personally, his anxious almost must clutch the knot on clothes. 白橡木号的导航员已经闻讯赶了过来,这是个脸色略显苍白的年轻人,他显得有些不安,看到船长要亲自进入观星室确认航线之后,他紧张的几乎要揪掉衣服上的扣子。 Relaxes, Lawrence noticed navigator's response, on the face showed a smile, in turn is comforting this young people, not necessarily was your mistake, Spirit World and Deep Sea is full of the evasive change, the Spirit World lens are not always reliable, the astrology and physiognomy displacement belonged to normal condition —— you to be inexperienced, this was very normal. 放松点,劳伦斯注意到了导航员的反应,脸上露出一丝笑容,反过来安慰着这年轻人,不一定是你的错,灵界和幽邃充满不可捉摸的变化,灵界透镜也不总是可靠的,星相偏移属于正常情况——你经验不足,这很正常。 My I have confirmed repeatedly, our routes do not have the issue, the young navigator is saying subconsciously, but 我我反复确认过的,我们的航线没问题,年轻导航员下意识说着,但 Lawrence beckons with the hand: I will do clear what's the matter. 劳伦斯摆摆手:我会搞明白是怎么回事的。 Captain, the blessing has been completed, the voice of pastor resounds from side along with the ship in the meantime, you can enter the stargazing room —— but to remember, do not stay is too long, do not gaze at too for a long time, after 15 minutes, if you have not come out, I will go to look for you. 船长,祝福已经完成了,随船牧师的声音就在此时从旁响起,您可以进入观星室了——但请记住,不要停留太久,不要注视太久,十五分钟后,如果您还没有出来,我会进去找您。 Ten minutes were enough. Lawrence reorganized clothes, the expression said calmly. 十分钟就足够了。劳伦斯整理了一下衣服,表情平静地说道。 Afterward he breathes a sigh of relief gently, before taking a step to arrive at that leaf described storm rune, to mount the metal front door of Saint silver thread line, pushes the door to enter. 随后他轻轻舒了口气,迈步来到那扇描绘着风暴符文、镶嵌着圣银丝线的金属大门前,推门而入。 A dimmly-lit cabin heaves in sight. 一间灯光昏暗的舱室映入眼帘。 Lawrence closes behind metal door conveniently, roughly confirmed observes the stars indoor situation. 劳伦斯随手关上身后的金属门,大致确认了一下观星室内的情况。 This room does not have the window, that leaf of metal door is the only difference way, in the entire room does not have any unnecessary facility, the only arrangement, is places the room central, diameter approximately one meter cylinder installment. 这房间没有窗户,那扇金属门是唯一的出入途径,整个房间中没有任何多余的设施,唯一的陈设,便是放在房间中央的、直径约一米的圆柱形装置。 It seems like a sacrificial altar, around its column pedestal is actually distributing large number of crank, connecting rod and mirror surface installment, its side has one to be possible for the small floor that the person stands, that is to the position that the navigator leaves, but in that column installment crown, is a inward hollow transparent part. 它看上去像一个祭台,其圆柱台座周围却又分布着大量曲柄、连杆与镜面装置,它的旁边有一个可供人站立的小台面,那是给导航员留的位置,而在那圆柱装置的顶部,则是一个向内凹陷的透明部件。 That is crystalline lens, was haunched by one group of very complex connecting rod support, the crystalline lens assume bowl-shaped, its interior seemingly is empty- But when the line of sight focuses above , as if can see that in the lens has the wave light to be clear. 那是一个水晶透镜,被一组十分复杂的连杆支架撑起,水晶透镜呈碗状,其内部看上去空无一物--但当视线聚焦在上面时,又仿佛可以看到透镜中有波光粼粼。 That wave light seemed filled with the sea water. 那波光仿佛盛满了海水。 Lawrence 劳伦斯 Takes a step to arrive at side in the column installment small platform, the vision looks to the present lens. 迈步来到圆柱装置旁的小平台上,目光看向眼前的透镜。 A ship navigation on boundless Boundless Sea, the marking goods that in the sea level almost does not have any reference uses, City-State is isolated islands, once brushed past with the destination, the swimmer will then lose the —— guidance in the limitless sea then became a very important knowledge. 一艘船航行在苍茫的无垠海上,海面上几乎没有任何参照用的标识物品,城邦又是一座座孤岛,一旦与目的地擦肩而过,航行者便会迷失在无边无际的大海上——那么导航便成了一门很重要的学问。 Vision 001- Sun is a very easy-to-use sky marker, using Sun confirmed that the river boat position naturally is one of the guidance skills, but the sky always cannot see Sun, moreover only depends on Sun, sometimes is unable to provide enough accurate navigation, when meets this situation, must accurately judge that oneself does navigate in the correct route? 异象001-太阳是一个很好用的天空标识物,利用太阳来确认航船方位当然是导航技巧之一,但天空并不总能看到太阳,而且仅凭太阳,有时候也无法提供足够精准的导航定位,在遇上这种情况的时候,要怎么准确判断出自己是否航行在正确的航线上？ The answer is —— looks certainly at the star. 答案当然是——看星星。 Observing the stars, is the necessary skill of modern oceangoing voyage. Lawrence lowers the head, slowly crouches/submits Di body, whole piece face immerse in the hollow structure of that large-scale crystalline lens. 观星,是现代远洋航行的必备技巧。劳伦斯低下头,慢慢伏低身子,将整张脸都浸没在那个大型水晶透镜的凹陷结构里。 Star in very deeply very deep place- Must see them, not only needs the exquisite equipment, needs perfect mind. 星星在很深很深的地方—-要看到它们,不只需要精巧的设备,更需要健全的心智。
