However when Roland operates personally, discovered that actual situation does not have to think is so simple. 不过当罗兰亲自操作起来,才发现实际情况远没有自己所想的那么简单。 Was busy at work for 45 days in the backyard, the degree of hardness high drill bit has done actually smoothly, used the Anna high-temperature flame, he can be very easy to obtain over 1500 degrees molten iron. Did not have the restriction of temperature, convention to cook up the steel law then to facilitate makes small batch steel-- fast to stir the molten iron with the iron rod quickly, caused in pig iron other excessive carbon and impurity and air full catalytic oxidation, after several, molten iron cooled to obtain the high qualitative steel repeatedly. 在后院里忙活了45天,硬度较高的钻头倒是顺利做出来了,利用安娜的高温火焰,他可以很容易得到1500度以上的铁水。没有了温度的制约,常规炒钢法便能方便快捷地制得小批量钢铁——即用铁棒快速搅拌铁水,使生铁中过量的碳和其它杂质与空气充分接触氧化,反复几次后铁水冷却下来就能得到高品质的钢。 The issue leaves to be at beginning the steam number machine. 问题出在蒸汽初号机上。 When this model machine work the noise and vibration are very astonishing, the drill bit is unable to stabilize drills the complete bar iron control. When making heavy manual labor heavy labor, this degree of trembling is immaterial, but processes barrel then it will be alright not to pass obviously. 这台原型机工作起来时噪音和震动都十分惊人,连带着钻头无法稳定的钻完整条铁管。在做粗活重活时,这种程度的震颤无关紧要,但加工枪管显然就行不通了。 To improve this, he must make the centrifugal governor to control the Steam engine output first, then combines the reduction to tremble with gear, adjusts the spin rate of drill bit. But processing gear needs simple lathe. Like this calculates, Roland discovered oneself do not have the means before Months of Demons approaches achieves this goal. 想要改善这点,他就得先造出离心调速器来控制蒸汽机的输出功率,再用齿轮组合减少震颤,调整钻头的旋转速率。而加工齿轮又需要简易车床。这样算下来,罗兰发现自己根本没办法在邪魔之月来临前实现这一目标。 Finally can only use old means that goes to a hammer hammer to knock by both hands of blacksmith. The plan of production in enormous quantities flintlock failed, according to the quantity of Border Town blacksmith's shop, at most one month produces 3-4 barrels, this is in stopping makes under second Steam engine situation. 最终还是只能用老办法,靠铁匠的双手去一锤锤敲出来。大批量生产火枪的计划破产了,按边陲镇铁匠铺的数量,顶多一个月生产3-4根枪管,这还是在停造第二台蒸汽机的情况下。 The only good news not to need to be worried about the qualified rate of barrel. The blacksmiths knock approximate circular pipe by all means that joins a crack by the Anna unification again, the effect is close with the seamless tube that the boring cutter truncates, basically can remove the burst in the bore the risk. 唯一的好消息是不用担心枪管的合格率。铁匠只管敲出大致的圆管,再由安娜统一进行合缝,效果跟镗刀削出来的无缝管接近,基本上可以排除炸膛的风险。 Roland but must revise the beforehand plan, he planned to recruit the Border Town's hunter, forms flintlock team-- they mostly to be skilled in the archery, the bow or the crossbow, are their handy weapon. Sur- firearms training is time-consuming, can enable them to have Battle strength quickly. 罗兰无奈之下只得修改了自己之前的计划,他原本打算招募边陲镇的猎人,组建一支火枪队——他们大多精通射箭,无论是弓还是弩,都是他们得心应手的武器。外加枪械培训耗时短,可以使他们很快具备战斗力。 But most makes four Flintlock the present to Months of Demons, then can only choose in the hunter the most outstanding manpower to build an elite group. This matter Roland decided that gives Iron Axe to manage, he has treated for 15 years in Border Town, recognizes the best hunter. 可现在到邪魔之月最多造出四把燧发枪,如此一来就只能挑选猎人中最杰出的人手来打造一支精英小组了。这事罗兰决定交给铁斧去办,他在边陲镇待了15年,也是公认最好的猎人。 ******************* ******************* Brian crosses for half a month not happily. 布莱恩这半个月来过得并不开心。 Especially on the street meets the militia team, the unhappy feeling will double the enlargement...... Even bottom of heart also has an unwillingness. 特别是在街上遇见民兵队的时候,不开心的感觉就会加倍放大……甚至心底还有一丝不甘。 He thought that oneself forgot by His Highness the Prince. 他觉得自己被王子殿下遗忘了。 One month ago Chief Knight called past tense, he is filled with excitedly. Contacts with the Fourth Prince short distance, accepts your highness's inquiry personally, this is the lucky and glorious matter. 一个月前被首席骑士叫过去时,他满心兴奋。与四王子近距离接触,接受殿下的亲口询问,这是何等幸运而荣耀的事。 He grows up in Border Town since childhood, although family background ordinary hunter family, but held the post of a patrol Captain duty by own ability. He knows that oneself has no way to depend upon the main house gate becomes Knight, can only wait for that the opportunity performs the merit, accepts conferring rank and title of high-rank. 他从小在边陲镇长大,虽然出身普通猎户家庭,但凭借自己的能力担任上了巡逻队长一职。他知道自己没法依靠家门成为一名骑士,只能等待机会立下功绩,接受上位者的册封。 Your highness's inquiry makes him feel that opportunity came, obviously Fourth Prince Roland is not willing to give up own territory, he is trying to seek to resist the Evil Beast's method. The city wall that afterward constructed wantonly had also proven a point, without a doubt, they will cross Months of Demons in Border Town this year. 殿下的询问让他觉得机会来了,显然四王子罗兰不愿放弃自己的领地,他在试图寻找对抗邪兽的方法。后来大肆兴建的城墙也证明了一点,毫无疑问,今年他们将在边陲镇渡过邪魔之月。 To prevent the Evil Beast's attack in this place, must form one to dare the team of upfront combat. Brian thinks oneself are the candidate of not passing on responsibilities, he is skilled in the detection, Swordsmanship and equestrian skill, every year remains to lights the beacon-fire to prove his not deficient courage finally, but he has not expected, your highness plans to select a team and Evil Beast from the common people unexpectedly fights! 想要在此地阻挡邪兽的侵袭,就必须组建一支敢于正面作战的队伍。布莱恩原以为自己是当仁不让的人选,他精通侦查、剑术和骑术,每年留守至最后点燃烽火证明他不缺乏勇气,但他万万没料到,殿下竟然打算从平民中选出一支队伍与邪兽战斗！ Right, a pure common people team, incessantly is he, entire patrol leader ten people of not through the verification of Chief Knight. This is simply unthinkable, Your Highness Is it possible thinks that this crowd has not grasped the person of sword, meets to be good at fighting? Only feared that saw the Evil Beast's vicious appearance they will be utterly routed! 没错,一支纯粹的平民队伍,不止是他,整个巡逻队十人没一个通过首席骑士的审核。这简直匪夷所思,难不成殿下认为这群从没握过刀剑的人,会比自己更擅长战斗？只怕见到邪兽的凶狠模样他们就会溃不成军！ But your highness seems to be earnest...... He is not only training this crowd of disorganized mob, gave back to them to allocate the unified clothing. Every afternoon Brian can see that this group of people put on the brown grey interaction leather armor, the platoon becomes two rows of garrisons has run from the street. Most when starts the team is sparse, recently was getting more and more neat. 但殿下似乎是认真的……他不仅在训练这群乌合之众,还给他们配发了统一的服装。每天下午布莱恩都能见到这伙人穿着棕灰相间的皮甲,排成两列纵队从街上跑过。最开始时队伍还稀稀拉拉,最近已经越来越整齐了。 But oneself, every day were still carrying out the arid task, cannot see the hope of promotion. 而自己,仍每天执行着枯燥的任务,看不到晋升的希望。 In the evening when he tosses about cannot fall asleep, next door transmits a sound, then the gate was shoved open, some people walked come in quietly. 晚上他翻来覆去睡不着时,隔壁传来一阵响动,接着门被推开,有人悄悄走了进来。 „Hey, gets up,” comes the person to shout in a low voice. The Brian hear the sound of opposite party, is one of the patrol leader, the nickname is called the Fierce Scar fellow. “喂,都起来,”来人低声喊道。布莱恩听出了对方的声音,是巡逻队的一员,外号叫凶疤的家伙。 In his room falls asleep five people, besides oneself and Greyhound, other three people turns over/stands up quickly, like early is prepared, has not taken off including the coat. 他房里睡着五个人,除了自己和灰狗外,其他三人很快翻身而起,就像早有准备的一样,连外衣都没有脱下。 „Captain, is quick, I had the important matter to you tell.” “队长,快起来,我有件重要的事要跟你说。” Fierce Scar has the noble relative in Longsong Stronghold, hears extraordinary big noble, therefore he status in team is very high, Brian is not good to disregard him, must crawl to ask, „what matter?” 凶疤在长歌要塞有个贵族亲戚,听说还是了不得的大贵族,因此他在队里的地位很高,布莱恩不好无视他,只得爬起来问,“什么事？” Greyhound was also awakened, „this...... Such late, you...... You do not rest...... Thinks?” 灰狗也被叫醒过来,“这……这么晚了,你……你们不睡……觉吗？” „I have a good work to introduce to you, do you want to be cannozed as Knight?” “我有桩好活介绍给你们,你们想不想被册封为骑士？” „What...... What? Knight?” Greyhound surprised say/way. “什……什么？骑士？”灰狗惊讶道。 Brian also jumps at heart, asked hastily, „what was lives?” 布莱恩心里也是一跳,连忙问道,“到底是什么活？” „You know that my Uncle Hiller safe, he is Earl that Sir Duke enfeoffs, is the trusted subordinate of Sir. This news is he confesses personally my,” Fierce Scar lowers the sound saying that „Fourth Prince prepares to cast off Longsong Stronghold to do alone, making Sir Duke very disgruntled. He decided that makes the prince know, who is the Western Region's master.” “你们都知道我叔叔希尔泰吧,他是公爵大人分封的伯爵,也是大人的亲信。这消息是他亲口交代我的,”凶疤压低声音道,“四王子准备甩开长歌要塞单独干,让公爵大人十分不悦。他决定让王子知道,谁才是西境的主人。” „Difficultly, difficultly and...... You planned...... The thorn, the assassination......” Greyhound one intense has stuttered, short a few words quite a while have not said completely. “难、难、难道……你们打算……刺,刺杀……”灰狗一紧张就更结巴了,短短一句话半天都没说完整。 „How possible,” Fierce Scar scoffs to say with a smile, „how he again is also a prince, if he died, even if Sir Duke could not shelter us. I said that this is the pile good work.” “怎么可能,”凶疤嗤笑道,“他再怎么样也是个王子,他若死了,就算公爵大人也庇护不了我们。我说了,这是桩好活。” Brite thought subconsciously this transaction like is not definitely simple, but conferred the enticement of Knight he declared too to be really big, he could not bear open the mouth saying that „mentioned listens.” 布莱特下意识觉得这笔交易肯定不像他宣称的那么简单,但册封骑士的诱惑实在太大,他忍不住开口道,“说来听听。” „Grain. Without the grain, he can only the little darling roll Longsong Stronghold. This lives is Sir Duke grants, so long as we can burn down the grain that Fourth Prince buys successfully, he conducts for us confers the ritual, and stroke of fief east stronghold grants us together. This is an once in a thousand years opportunity, Captain, do you think?” “粮食。没有粮食,他就只能乖乖滚回长歌要塞。这桩活是公爵大人允诺的,只要我们能成功烧掉四王子买来的粮食,他就为我们举办册封礼,并且在要塞东边划一块封地赐予我们。这可是个千载难逢的机会,队长,你觉得呢？” „You and you insane...... The palace and your highness did not say, this year...... Year Months of Demons likely holds...... Continues for over four months, you, have burnt the grain fever, everybody eats anything!” Greyhound shakes the head to say again and again, „two...... The two years ago matters, big, did everybody forget?” “你、你疯……啦,殿、殿下不是说了,今年……年邪魔之月很可能持……持续四个月以上,你把粮食烧、烧了,大家吃什么！”灰狗连连摇头道,“两……两年前的事,大、大家都忘了？” „What matters closes our?” Another person disdained saying that „I have not planned to stay here in any case, has handled the matter of Sir Ryan, we can excessively live in stronghold easily and comfortably.” “关我们什么事？”另一人不屑说,“反正我也没打算留在这儿,把莱恩大人的事办了,我们就能在要塞过安逸生活了。” „Right, do you also want to eat gangue for a lifetime in this damned place?” Other people also backed up. “没错,你们难道还想在这鬼地方吃一辈子的矿渣吗？”其他人也纷纷帮腔道。 Damn, they were already in cahoots, Brite one cool, except for oneself and Greyhound in Border Town grows up outside, they mostly come from across the kingdom, simply does not have any recall to small town. Sees to be incapable of preventing, he has to shift the topic saying that „, but these wheat were shifted to the His Highness the Prince castle in went, the entrance has the personal guard Knight guard of your highness, how can you possibly go in?” 见鬼,他们早就串通好了,布莱特心里一凉,除了自己和灰狗是在边陲镇长大以外,他们大都来自王国各地,对小镇根本没有任何留恋。见无力阻止,他只好转移话题道,“可是那些小麦都被转移到王子殿下的城堡里去了,门口有殿下的亲卫骑士把守,你们又怎么可能进得去？” „Therefore I must call you,” Fierce Scar happily said with a smile, „treated since childhood in this broken place, nobody compared with your more familiar here environment. I remember that you once had said that in the post- ravine has one to abandon the water well, under the canal with castle is connected. Through it, then can be quietly goes directly to the castle garden. You did not crawl in childhood. What kind, makes this with me, you can also become Knight that Knight-- or Sir Duke conferred personally from now on.” “所以我才要叫上你啊,”凶疤得意地笑道,“从小就待在这破地方,没人比你更熟悉这儿的环境了。我记得你曾说过,后山沟里有一处废弃水井,和城堡下方的水道相连。通过它,便可以悄无声息地直达城堡花园。你小时候不是还爬进去过么。怎么样,跟我做上这一笔,你今后也能成为骑士了——还是公爵大人亲自册封的骑士。” No...... Knight should be bold in fighting unfairly, should not fear the might, protects the weak one! Solely for the personal gratitude and grudges of Sir Duke, set at the small town resident does not attend to the threat of hunger and death? Such Knight besides a empty shell, but also there is any glory! 不……骑士应该勇于和不公做斗争,应该不畏强权,保护弱者！单单为了公爵大人的私人恩怨,就置小镇居民于饥饿和死亡的威胁中而不顾？这样的骑士除了一身空壳外,还有什么荣耀可言！ He just about to opens the mouth to reject, Greyhound said. 他刚要开口拒绝,灰狗已经叫了起来。 „One and one group of lunatics! You and you, dare to get in the grain unexpectedly the idea, I, will not make you leave this and here certainly! I must report, report to give......” Greyhound told only half, sound solidifies/coagulates suddenly, he has turned head unbelievable, a past teammate was standing after behind sneers toward him. Black dagger after the Greyhound waist inserts, the dagger body submerged the body completely. He shivered two, opened mouth to say anything, actually can only exude the hoarse inspiration sound. “一、一群疯子！你、你们、居然敢打粮食的主意,我绝、绝不会让你们离开这、这里的！我要报、报告给……咳,”灰狗说到一半,声音陡然凝固,他难以置信地回过头,一名昔日的队友正站在身后朝他冷笑。黑色的匕首从灰狗腰后插入,匕身完全没入了身体。他颤抖了两下,张开嘴想说什么,却只能发出嘶哑的吸气声。 The opposite party mixes two dagger, is fierce withdraws, Greyhound the resembles lost the cloth doll of support immediately, falls down softly. 对方将匕首搅动两下,再猛得抽回,灰狗顿时像失去了支撑的布娃娃般,软软地瘫倒在地。 „What kind of?” Fierce Scar approaches Brite, the latter even can feel the stench aura that in his mouth exhales, „I think you should decide, Sir Captain?” “怎么样？”凶疤靠近布莱特,后者甚至能感觉到他口中呼出的腥臭气息,“我想你应该决定好了吧,队长大人？”
