Enters after autumn third day, Margery Commerce arrived in Border Town dock as promised. 入秋后的第三天,玛格丽商会如约抵达了边陲镇码头。 This time, the caravan restored the past scale, ten sailing ship character garrisons dispel, anchors steadily near the trestle. 这一次,商队又恢复了往日的规模,十艘帆船一字纵队排开,稳稳停靠在栈桥边。 „Esteemed His Highness the Prince, we met,” Crescent Moon Bay merchant Gamore bows to salute saying that „listened to Ms. Margery saying that the first steam driven vessel did transform completes?” “尊敬的王子殿下,我们又见面了,”弦月湾商人加摩尔躬身行礼道,“听玛格丽女士说,第一艘蒸汽船已经改造完成了？” „Indeed so,” Roland said with a smile, „to guarantee the quality of commodity, it also needs to carry on 34 days of cruises, with the aim of examining the reliability level of power system.” “的确如此,”罗兰笑道,“不过为了保证商品的质量,它还需要进行34天的试航,以便检验动力系统的可靠程度。” „Really made one anticipate,” Marlan has patted clapping, „fleet unloaded cargo almost also requires these many day of time, we can definitely wait for in this. When your highness, cruise can I mount the steam driven vessel visit?” “真是令人期待,”玛尔兰拍了拍手,“船队卸货差不多也需要这么多天时间,我们完全可以在此等待。请问殿下,试航时我能登上蒸汽船参观吗？” „Naturally, it after all is brand-new ships, was entirely different from the past sailing ship, I must to you report how should operate it. However according to the plan, these is the tomorrow's contents.” Roland has done with the hand signal that I come, what „present most important under relaxes the exhausted body well, haven't you had the lunch? I have prepared the sumptuous banquet in the castle reception room.” “当然,它毕竟是一艘全新的船只,和以往帆船都截然不同,我还得向你们介绍该如何操作它。不过按计划,这些都是明天的内容。”罗兰做了跟我来的手势,“现在最重要的是好好放松下疲惫的身躯,你们还没有吃午餐吧？我已经在城堡会客厅准备好了丰盛的宴席。” „Comes to your here each time, fine food will enjoy,” Margery covers the mouth to say with a smile, „I now am indeed hungry the belly to cry out-- these wheat Bing and meat am dry and hard am same as the stone, simply being hard deglutition.” “每次来您这儿,都会有一顿美餐享受,”玛格丽掩嘴笑道,“我现在的确饿得肚子直叫唤了——那些麦饼和肉干硬得就跟石头一样,简直难以下咽。” This time did not have the reliable preservation, therefore the dry rations are really mostly dry and hard, this made Roland remember the canned food. After the light industry develops, makes various delicacies the convenient food canned food, absolutely is the optimization of far way travel and navigation merchant. 这个时代还没有可靠的保鲜技术,因此干粮大多是真的又干又硬,这让罗兰不禁想起了罐头。等到轻工业发展起来后,制造各种美味又方便的食物罐头,绝对是远途旅行和航海商人的最佳选择。 ...... …… After the banquet ended, a Hogg face has patted the belly satisfiedly, „this bowl of mushroom soup made me swallow down the tongue quickly, I as if simultaneously tasted Haizhen, to stew chicken with the pig bone flavor, your palace chef may really be the superb skill.” 当宴席结束后,霍格一脸满足地拍了拍肚皮,“这碗蘑菇汤快让我把舌头都吞下去了,我仿佛同时尝到了海珍、炖鸡和猪骨的味道,您的这位宫廷厨师可真是技艺高超。” „After I like the meal, on that together sweet snack, is calls the ice cream to come...... Right?” Margery said, „I guess it should is made of the milk and honey, then freezes the ice crystal shape with saltpeter.” “我更喜欢餐后上的那一道甜点,是叫冰激凌来着……对吧？”玛格丽说道,“我猜它应该是用牛奶和蜂蜜制成,然后再用硝石冻结成冰晶状。” „Also must add some butter and egg whites, otherwise has no way to do such glutinous soft,” Roland adds, „how doesn't know this time saltpeter goods quantity?” “还要加一些黄油和蛋清,不然没法做得这么糯软,”罗兰补充道,“不知道这一次的硝石货量如何？” „Still only then a ship,” female merchant shakes the head, „the alchemist association wantonly was still purchasing saltpeter, Imperial Prime Minister even also sends out the patrol leader to assist them to plunder the cargo of system niter field. One crowd has the fellow of name of sage to buy not to distinguish with robber anything, this ship saltpeter ships from Scarlet Water City.” “依然只有一船,”女商人摇摇头,“炼金师协会仍然在大肆收购硝石,御前首相甚至还派出巡逻队协助他们搜刮制硝场的货物。一群拥有贤者之名的家伙强买起来跟强盗没什么区别,这船硝石还是从赤水城运来的。” „The cargo that this month ships in mostly washes the stone?” “那这个月运来的货物大多是洗涤石？” „Right,” white liquor of Hogg in cup tosses down, fills to oneself, „, although the quantity a little are possibly many, but your previous time said personally, as far as possible many lanes come, I bore in mind. Besides wash stone, good iron ingot and lead ingot. Recently except for your here, few cities needed these things,” he sighed, „mine business was less good to do.” “没错,”霍格将杯中白酒一饮而尽,又给自己斟满,“虽然数量可能有点多,但您上次亲口说的,尽量多弄些来,我可是记在心里了。除了洗涤石外,还有上好的铁锭和铅锭。最近除了您这儿,很少有城镇需要这些东西了,”他叹了口气,“矿山生意越来越不好做咯。” This is the influence that the civil war brings, in the Roland heart mused, each region purchasing power is dropping gradually, if continues again for 2-3 years, basically is the grain price rise, everywhere the bodies of those who starved to death rhythm. 这是内战带来的影响,罗兰心中暗想,各地购买力正逐步下降,如果再持续两三年,基本就是粮价上涨、遍地饿殍的节奏。 „Was right, Western Region recently what happened?” Margery asked suddenly. “对了,西境最近发生了什么事吗？”玛格丽忽然问道。 „How?” “怎么了？” „Fleet on coming the small town road, has met a big pile...... Yeah,” she stops the moment, as if expresses in the consideration, „big pile of floating corpses. They put on tattered, such floats by the river course. Besides the corpse, on the water surface also some planks and ropes of breakage, looked like have the ships to strike a reef to submerge generally. However in the inland river does not have the reef, therefore I think......” “船队在来小镇的路上,遇到了一大堆……嗯,”她停顿片刻,似乎在考虑措辞,“一大堆浮尸。他们穿得破破烂烂的,就这么漂浮在河道两侧。除了尸体外,水面上还有些破损的木板和绳索,就像是有船只触礁沉没了一般。不过内河里并没有礁石,所以我想……” „Snort, that is Timothy intrudes on the Western Region's fleet,” the appearance that Roland ships out indignanting disturbed, narrated one week ago fight simply, „they obtained the proper penalty.” “哼,那是提费科进犯西境的船队,”罗兰装出一副忿忿不平的模样,将一周之前的战斗简单讲述了遍,“他们已经得到了应有的惩罚。” In order to avoid stopping up the route and epidemic disease infection, after sweeping clear the battlefield, he adjusted Anna and Lily from small town, was responsible for burning down the damage the ships, was responsible for purifying the river water. But floating corpse that Margery sees, before should be the fight ended, floated following the river water far dying in battle. 为了避免堵塞航道和疫病传染,清扫完战场后,他从小镇调来了安娜和莉莉,一个负责焚烧损坏的船只,一个负责净化河水。而玛格丽看到的浮尸,应该是战斗结束前就已经顺着河水漂远的战死者。 „So that's it,” female merchant said with a smile. „It seems like by Timothy must run into a wall.” “原来如此,”女商人微笑道。“看来提费科两边都要碰壁了。” „Two sides?” “两边？” The latest news that „Port of Clear Water Garcia-- I obtain is, before attacked eastern region city the subordinate in unclear grabbing Garcia. After the Blacksail fleet Sea Wind Region and Golden Harvest City are ransacked, has not returned to the harbor, but goes north along the coastline, no one knows where she went to finally.” “还有碧水港的嘉西亚——我得到的最新消息是,之前袭击东境城市的不明劫掠者正是嘉西亚的手下。黑帆舰队将海风郡、金穗城洗劫一空后,没有返回海港,而是沿着海岸线一路北上,谁也不知道她最终去了哪里。” „Goes north......” Roland to be surprised different way, „did she leave Greycastle?” “北上……”罗兰诧异道,“她离开灰堡了？” „At present seems like this, the Timothy troops came up empty-handed in Port of Clear Water, there present is an empty city.” Margery stated that „in the person, because he took away had many Mouse, therefore this matter in the black street is not considered as that the secret. No matter how, his eye-sore only remaining your, later intruded on to Western Region's now will be perhaps getting more and more frequent.” “目前看起来是这样,提费科的人马在碧水港扑了个空,那里如今已是一座空城。”玛格丽陈述道,“由于他带去的人里有不少老鼠,所以这件事在黑街并不算是秘密。不管如何,现在他的眼中钉只剩下了您一个,以后对西境的进犯说不定会越来越频繁。” „If you also want to leave the Greycastle's words, Crescent Moon Bay welcome you at any time,” Marlan opens the mouth to say. “如果您也想离开灰堡的话,弦月湾随时欢迎您,”玛尔兰开口道。 „Right,” Gamore has patted the chest, „there island installs next ten Border Town sufficiently, we are willing to provide to you and your people free of charge.” “没错,”加摩尔拍了拍胸口,“那儿的小岛足以装下十个边陲镇,我们愿意无偿提供给您和您的子民。” However must hand over Steam engine and Stream Ship technology, right? Roland was showing the whites of the eyes at heart, even if Greycastle could not treat, first chose the object who went to also to be Tilly Wimbledon is right. However in the surface he smiled, „, if has such one day, I will consider.” 但是要交出蒸汽机和明轮船的技术,对吧？罗兰在心里翻了个白眼,就算灰堡待不下去了,首先选择投奔的对象也应该是提莉.温布顿才对。不过表面上他只是笑了笑,“是么,如果真有那么一天,我会考虑的。” „Was right,” afterward he looks to Margery, „the detection balloon of previous order, I have made two successfully.” “对了,”随后他望向玛格丽,“你上次订购的侦查气球,我已经成功造出了两个。” „Is so quick?” Can the latter pleasantly surprised say/way, „lead me to have a look?” “这么快？”后者惊喜道,“能带我去看看吗？” „Naturally, comes with me.” Roland sets out to say. “当然,跟我来吧。”罗兰起身说道。 ...... …… In backyard that the castle expands, is laying aside one already gasification complete hot air balloon. 城堡扩建的后院中,放置着一个已经充气完全的氢气球。 Its air bag appears the water-drop shape, on wide under narrow, the top diameter five meters, defer to the size manufacture of test piece completely, can carry a adulthood man to lift off. air bag and rope spread the sky camouflage, in matching the fan colored clothing of observer, can on maximum limit the reduced recognition. 它的气囊呈水滴状,上宽下窄,顶部直径五米,完全按照试验品的尺寸制作,可以携带一名成年男子升空。气囊和绳索都涂上了天空迷彩,搭配上观察员的迷彩衣,能在最大限度上减少辨识度。 „Is it not quite as if same as the balloons of previous riding?” Margery is sizing up the new product carefully. “它似乎跟我们上次乘坐的气球不太一样？”玛格丽仔细打量着新产品。 „Because it does not need witch also to use,” Roland settles the throat clear, starts to report that to the people how to use the detection balloon, „end air bag has to move the valve, can enter and emit gas-- sufficiently because of this alchemy gas full, can make it fly. The method of gasification is very simple, so long as the necessary hose and gas tank will be connected, will twist off two valves again then.” Said that he has demonstrated the operational procedure of a deflation and gasification in the presence of everyone. “因为它无需女巫也能使用,”罗兰清了清喉咙,开始向众人介绍如何使用侦查气球,“气囊尾端带有活动阀门,可以充入和放出气体——正是因为这种炼金气体充盈其中,才能让它飞起来。充气的方法十分简单,只要将配套的软管与储气罐相连,再拧开两头的阀门即可。”说完他当众演示了一遍放气和充气的操作流程。 „How many bottle of gas storage holders fills a detection balloon to need?” Margery grasped the key point quickly. “充满一个侦查气球需要多少瓶气罐？”玛格丽很快抓住了重点。 „Five bottles or six bottles......” this issue makes Roland slightly somewhat awkward, „most not over seven bottles.” The primary cause lies in the bottle for producing the dilute sulphuric acid density of hydrogen is hard controlling, deputes the sulphuric acid distillation to 98% waters the dilution extremely to waste the laboratory precious manpower again, therefore has on getting down. “五瓶或六瓶……”这个问题让罗兰略有些尴尬,“最多不会超过七瓶。”主要原因在于瓶内用于生成氢气的稀硫酸浓度难以把控,将硫酸蒸馏提纯到98%再来掺水稀释又太过浪费实验室宝贵的人力,因此只好将就下了。 „Is this type of alchemy gas very expensive?” “这种炼金气体十分昂贵吧？” „Indeed so. It is hard to preserve, is high-risk...... I meant, under the operation,” Roland coughs carelessly two, „, therefore the gas storage holder can only save for one year, moreover can not rap, dismantle or burns down, otherwise likely will have the unpredictable serious results.” His paused, „price, although is somewhat expensive, but felt relieved, when the first purchase when investigates the balloon, the first batch of gas tank is provided by Border Town free, but can also receive a sky camouflage detection clothes additionally.” “的确如此。它难以保存,又充满危险……我是说,在不慎操作下,”罗兰咳嗽两声,“所以气罐只能存储一年,而且不得敲击、拆解或焚烧,不然可能会发生难以预料的严重后果。”他顿了顿,“价格虽然有些昂贵,但放心,第一次购买时侦查气球时,首批储气罐由边陲镇免费提供,还可以额外获赠一件天空迷彩侦查衣。” …… ……
