The city of curfewconditionis not suitableto go outto explore, Duncanremainsinall nightAntique Store——steps the landis actuatinghimexcitedly, makinghimnot know that exploredthisentirebuildingexhaustedly.
宵禁状态的城市不适合外出探索,邓肯彻夜都留在古董店内——踏上陆地的兴奋驱动着他,让他不知疲惫地把这整座建筑物都探索了一遍。Thisbodyoriginalmasterishereticis not fake, buthe is heretic is also an average person of neednormalsocial life, he convenience that needs the modern civilizationto providemaintains the oneselfsurvival, needsto exchange, needsvarioustypes of dailythings.
这具身体原本的主人是个邪教徒不假,但他在身为邪教徒的同时也是一个需要正常社会生活的普通人,他需要现代文明所提供的便利来维持自己生存,需要与人交流,需要各种日常用品。Needsto deal with the entirecity.
需要与整座城市打交道。Butall these, will leave behindverymanyclues, canmakeDuncanstillroughlyinferin the memoryfragmentslurredsituationin the PlandCity-Statelifestyle, as well asthistimeapproximatetechnical standardsandlivelihood of the peoplecondition.
而这一切,都会留下非常多的线索,可以让邓肯在记忆碎片模糊不清的情况下仍然大致推断出在普兰德城邦的生存方式,以及这个时代大致的技术水平、民生状态。Hefound not manycashin the first floorcounterfollowinghidden compartment, includingfragmentarycoinsas well asseveralcurrency valueblue colorandgreencurrencies, thisisin the legal tender in mostCity-Stateusing in common, is jointly authenticatedanddistributedbyvariousCity-StateMagistrate and Boundless Seachamber of commerce, the principal currencyunitis calledZola, has the valueis equivalent to the principal currency1/10„peso”asfractional currencyrelease. The cash that Duncanfoundaddsto only have200Dossola, butininformationaccording tomemory, thesemoneyenoughfamilies of threesurviveprobably for about a month inLower District.
他在一楼柜台后面的暗格中找到了不多的现金,包括一把零零碎碎的硬币以及几张面额不等的蓝色和绿色货币,这是在大多数城邦中都通用的法定货币,由诸城邦执政官和无垠海商会联合认证并发行,主币单位被称作“索拉”,另有价值相当于主币十分之一的“比索”作为辅币发行。邓肯找到的现金加起来只有两百多索拉,而根据记忆中所得的情报,这些钱大概够一个三口之家在下城区生存一个月左右。Even the business in shopis evidently dreary, donatedChurchmostfamily property, the originalmaster of thisbodystillmaintainedbasiclevel of living——thisto explain that this„Antique Store”has the oneselfstablesource of tourists.
看样子即便是店铺里的生意惨淡,又把大部分家产都捐给了教会,这具身体的原主人也仍然维持着基本的生活水平——这说明这家“古董店”还是有自己稳定客源的。Entireshopfirst flooronly thentwoparts, those whooccupy the area2/3isfront the store frontsituated instaircase, remaining1/3situated instaircasedoorbehind„warehouse”, behind the warehousealso the door, is the back door of entireconstruction, simultaneouslyshouldalsobe the access that the inventoryuses.
整个店铺一楼只有两个部分,占面积三分之二的是位于楼梯前部的铺面,剩下三分之一则是位于楼梯小门后面的“仓库”,仓库后面还有一扇门,是整个建筑的后门,同时应该也是进货用的出入口。
The shopsecond floorstructureis complex, besides a washroom, a bigsmalltworoomas well asconstructspipelinewithin that shareswithside, the big or smallroomrespectivelyis located in the second floorstairway the both sides, cleanedis clean.
店铺二楼的结构则复杂一点,除了一间盥洗室之外,还有一大一小两个房间以及一个和旁边建筑共用的管道间,大小房间分别位于二楼楼梯口的两侧,打扫的还算干净。In addition, second flooralsosmallkitchens, perhapsbut the last timeuse, allthingswere at least falling a dustevidentlyhalf a month ago.
此外,二楼还有一间小小的厨房,但看样子最后一次使用恐怕都在至少半个月前了,所有的东西都落着一层灰尘。Afterinspectingallthings, Duncanreturned to the master bedroomsituated in second floor, helooks that thiscompared withoneselfthatstudio apartmentalsowants the smallroom, the visionto fallinbednearbysmallcabinet.
在检查过所有东西之后,邓肯回到了位于二楼的主卧室中,他看着这个比自己那间单身公寓还要小一圈的房间,目光落在床铺旁边小柜子上。Therehas a picture frame, inside...... is a black-and-white photo.
那里有一张相框,里面……是一幅黑白照片。In the pictureis a family of three, the attiresimpleyoungmen and women, havingoneto seem like the 4 or 5-year-oldlittle girl, theystandbefore the artificialtraceobviousgardenbackground, on the facehas the lightsmile, is looking at the lens.
照片上是一家三口,有一对装束朴素的年轻男女,带着一个看上去只有四五岁的小女孩,他们站在人工痕迹明显的庭院布景前,脸上带着淡淡的微笑,正看着镜头这边。
Before Duncanarrives at the picture frame, takes uplaterlooks at carefullycarefully, andunceasinglyandin the memorythesefuzzydisorderlycluescorrespond.邓肯来到相框前,拿起之后仔细端详,并不断和记忆中那些模糊凌乱的线索进行对应。
The originalmaster of thisbody...... is not in the picture.
这具身体的原主人……不在照片中。
The person in thispictureseems like the family member of thisbody...... veryownperson.
这幅照片中的人似乎是这具身体的亲人……很亲的人。Whenis gazing atthatto the young couple, Duncanas ifcanfeel that a lightmissingfeelingis reappearingfrom the memorydeep place.
在注视着那对年轻夫妇的时候,邓肯仿佛能感觉到一种淡淡的思念感在从记忆深处浮现出来。Howevermoreinformationaboutthispictureactuallyslurred, as if...... has vanishedwith the originalmasterthatfinalone breath of thisbodyabouttheirmorememoriesinthisworld.
然而关于这幅照片的更多的情报却都模糊不清,似乎……关于他们的更多记忆都已经随着这具身体的原主人那最后一口气而消失在这个世界上了。Heputs down the picture, thinks deeply aboutsuch a black and whitephotoin the Lower Districtciviliansis being the expense of whatrank, thought deeply about the camera technique of thisworldto developwhatstage, the equipment that usesbased onwhatprinciple.
他放下照片,思索着这样一幅黑白照在下城区的平民中算是什么级别的消费,思索着这个世界的摄影技术发展到了什么阶段,所使用的设备又是基于什么原理。Meanwhile, hisvisionalsofalls , was reorganizedon the neatbed, in the heartexudes the lightdoubts.
与此同时,他的目光也落在被整理整齐的床铺上,心中泛起淡淡疑惑。Has fallen to the enemythoroughly, inSunbelievesheretic, usually will havea lot oftimeto reorganize the roomis so clean?
一个已经彻底沦陷在太阳信仰中的邪教徒,平日里会有很多时间来把房间整理的这么干净么?
The first floorshop frontis obviously negligent to handle, how does the bed in thisbedroomachievemeticulously?一楼的店面都明显疏于打理,这卧室里的床铺是怎么做到一丝不苟的?
Out hearrives,
他又走到门外,Arrives in the staircaseoppositethatsmallpointroom, looks at the similarlyneatcleanbed and desk. Heis reorganizing the memory in mind, confirmed that the originalmaster of oneselfthisbodythenleft the shopseveral days ago, goes tosecretCrowdedConference siteto participate inmeeting—— of sun godfollowerisheleavesfor the last time, the memory in detailhas blurred, but before not seem to leave, cleansto tidy up the impression of room.
来到楼梯对面那间小一点的房间里,看着同样整齐干净的床铺以及书桌。他整理着脑海中的记忆,确认自己这具身体的原主人在数天前便离开店铺,前往秘密集会场去参加太阳神信徒的聚会——那是他最后一次离开,细节中的记忆已经模糊,但似乎并没有离开之前打扫收拾屋子的印象。In other words...... alsohasothers?
也就是说……还有别人?Othersandthis„heretic”live together? Is a family member?
还有别人和这个“邪教徒”生活在一起?是亲人?Duncanknits the browsslightly, is looking for the clue of correspondencebefore the mindwhilearrives at the desk of smallroom, hisvisionhas swept the written recordsstationery of theseneatinfo clerks, finallyfallsin a book.邓肯微微皱起眉,一边在脑海中寻找着对应的线索一边来到小房间的书桌前,他的目光扫过那些整齐收纳的纸笔文具,最后落在一本书上。Thatbookplaces the deskmost conspicuousposition, the dark bluetitle page, on the sealhas the design of gearandconnecting rod, the attractivedecorated lettermotherwrites the book title:
那本书就放在书桌最显眼的位置,深蓝色的封面,封皮上有着齿轮与连杆的图案,漂亮的花体字母书写着书名:«SteamAndGearTechnique——GeneralTeaching materialIII»
《蒸汽与齿轮的技艺——通用教材III》Duncanknits the brows, hehad realizedfuzzilythisroomshouldbe„anotherperson”, buttookthatbooksubconsciously.邓肯皱了皱眉,他已经模模糊糊意识到这间房间应该属于“另一个人”,但还是下意识地把那本书拿了起来。OnVanished, there is no books that maybe forreading, in the otherplaces in master bedroomas well asshophad not found an article of paperhalfcharacter to look,at presentthisbookperhapshelpshimunderstand the matter of thisworld.
在失乡号上,没有任何可供阅读的书籍,在主卧室以及店铺里的其他地方也没有找到一纸半字的文章可看,眼前这本书或许有助于他了解这个世界的事情。
After opening the title page of book, had in page of illustrationto maphisview——thistrulyisonetold the projectcraft and steam machineryprinciple„teaching material”, moreoveramong the paragraphs of teaching material can also seemanyillustrations that the bookmasterleft behind.
翻开书的封面之后,带有插图的内页映入了他的眼帘——这确实是一本讲述工程工艺和蒸汽机械原理的“教材”,而且教材的段落之间还可以看到书主人留下的许多注解。
The slenderattractivetypefaceas ifstems from a young woman'shand.
纤细漂亮的字体似乎出自一位年轻女性之手。Duncanrubbed the forehead, the originalmaster of thisbodyas if has no friends and relatives, heremembers that mostpicturesor„impression”, has the ice-coldalonecolor, butaftercombed the memoryseveral times, he„recollection”had a personfinallyfuzzily...... is a girl who has the dark brownhair.邓肯揉了揉额头,这具身体的原主人似乎并没什么亲戚朋友,他记忆中的大多数画面或者说“印象”,都带着冰冷孤寂的色彩,但在数次梳理记忆之后,他终于模模糊糊地“回忆”起了一个人……是一个留着深褐色头发的女孩。Thatseems likenamedRowenmind of hereticexhaling the finalone breath when the form that can beonlyfor the time beingworries about.
那似乎是名为罗恩的邪教徒在呼出最后一口气时脑海中唯一姑且算得上牵挂的身影。
The Duncanvisionfallsin the page, hehas not taken the troubleto look attheseto involve the words and expressions and blueprint of concretetechnologywith effort, butselects the part of similareditorintroductionandconceptdiscussionto lookspecially.邓肯的目光落在书页上,他没有费心费力去看那些涉及到具体技术的字句和图纸,而是专门挑着类似编者引言、概念探讨的部分看。Oneline of writingmappedhisviewonthissuddenly:
一行文字就这样突然映入了他的眼帘:
„...... The flame, orsaidstrictly, in the fat and near-shore mineralthroughcombustiondeep seacrystallized the specificflame that released, was the supportmodern societyrevolvesandprotectsourcivilization the cornerstone......
“……火焰,或者更严格讲,通过燃烧深海中的油脂及近海矿物结晶而释放出的特定的火焰,是支撑现代社会运转并保护我们文明的基石……

“现代文明的繁荣及秩序建立在火焰和蒸汽的基础上……清洁便利的电力无法取代火的驱魔效果,也无法让大型机器长久稳定地运转……实验证明,蒸汽是在受到深层空间影响时最稳定的动力形态……„Thischapterwewill discuss the threetypicalconstructions of steamcore, andelaboratedmechanism and design idea......”
“本章节我们将讨论蒸汽核心的三种典型架构,并阐述其中的机械原理和设计思路……”
The Duncanlookstagnatesslightly.邓肯的眼神微微凝滞。
Before herecalled, inthesegaslamps, flaresandoil lamp that in the sewerfind at everywhere, gasstreet light on the city street, recalledoneselfto seein the shop when thatelectric lampdoubts that in the hearthad.
他记起了之前在下水道中随处可见的那些瓦斯灯、火把、油灯,还有城市街道上的瓦斯路灯,也记起了自己在店铺里看到那盏电灯时心中产生的疑惑。Originally...... theseseem like„strange”behind the situationunexpectedlyissuchreason?
原来……这些看似“怪异”的情况背后竟是这样的原因?Even iftakescertainriskalso to in the seweruse the open firelantern, in the electric powerhas developed the certain extentin the situationalso to in the outdoorsstreetwith the gaslampillumination, itsreasonunexpectedlyisbecause„fire”canresistcertain„dangeris weird” the spreadto a certain extent?
哪怕冒着一定风险也要在下水道里使用明火灯具,在电力已经发展到一定程度的情况下也要在户外街头用瓦斯灯照明,其原因竟然是因为“火”可以在一定程度上抵挡某些“危险怪诞”的蔓延?In the Duncanheartexuded the feeling of being unable to put things clearly, hisvisioncontinuedto lookdownward,whatseenwas the complexblueprints, the dense and numerousannotations and booksmasterleaves behind the note that earnestly.邓肯心中泛起了说不清道不明的感慨,他的目光继续向下看去,看到的是复杂的图纸、密密麻麻的注释以及书籍主人认真留下的笔记。Thatis the machine that hecannot understandfrom the start.
那是他压根看不懂的机器。Moreoverabsolutelyis not„steam engine that”hisancestorsknew.
而且绝对不是他上辈子所知道的“蒸汽机”。Theseprecisegears, theseextremecomplexair cylinders, the connecting pipes and valves among variousparts, far exceeded the concept of steam engine, thatis more likesometypebut actuallyfrom the fantasyis the equipment that in the illustrated handbookjumps, is disclosing the contradictoryandweirdaesthetic senseeverywhere.
那些精密的齿轮,那些极端复杂的气缸,还有各部件之间的连管以及阀门,都远远超出了蒸汽机的概念,那倒更像是某种从幻想系图鉴里蹦出来的设备,处处透露着矛盾又怪诞的美感。Thisissupports„heart that”thisworld the civilizationgoes forwardnow.
这就是支撑这个世界如今文明前进的“心脏”。In the ponder, Duncanreturns the originalposition the bookslowly.
在沉思中,邓肯慢慢将书放回原本的位置。Becausehecould not understandthoroughly.
因为他彻底看不懂了。As an earthman, even ifhehas been the teacher, cannot understand the steam powermechanism/organization that inthisbookthesedevelop the pinnacleconditioniswhatghost.
作为一个地球人,哪怕他当过老师,也看不懂这本书上那些发展到极致状态的蒸汽动力机关是什么鬼。Even so, indistinctcomprehendingappearsinhisheart:
但即便如此,一种隐隐约约的开悟还是在他心底浮现出来:
The civilization development of thisworldas ifwalksinoneentirely differentpath in onwithhiscognition.
这个世界的文明发展似乎走在一条和他认知中截然不同的道路上。In the world that tolie in wait from all sidesat the crisissurvives, the mortalstate also presented the grotesque and gaudystance, no matterbutagainhowstrangeworld, so long as can also call it„civilization”, ithas certainly the oneselfcurrenttruth and logicininside.
为了在危机环伺的世界上生存,凡人国度也随之呈现出了光怪陆离的姿态,但不管再怎么古怪的世界,只要还能称之为“文明”,它就一定有自己发展至今的道理和逻辑在里面。Thesein the gaslamp that in the sewerburns, lightens the electric lamp that in the shop, bydoes not knowsteammechanism/organization that many wisdom that in the booksdescribedbecame, disclosedonetypefaintly...... the toughness.
那些在下水道中燃烧的瓦斯灯,在店铺中点亮的电灯,在书本上描绘的、由不知多少人智慧凝聚而成的蒸汽机关,都隐隐透露出了一种……韧性。
