After the caravanleaves, Rolandlongreleased a long breath.
商队离开后,罗兰长长出了口气。Finally...... The treasurywas full.
终于……金库又充盈起来了。ToSteam engineeight that the three familieschamber of commercepays, includingthreewere from the Crescent Moon Baychamber of commerce No. 2factory-- that assistedto formhas saying that thesefromfjordartisans the talentor the learning capabilitymustbe higher than the small townminer and blacksmith, after grasping the machine tooloperation, the end productqualified ratewill soar, perhapsin two months, the productivity of No. 2factorycanovertake No. 1factory. Is goodbecause of the contract of basissigning, the saleincome of thesemachinesbelong toRoland.
向三家商会交付的蒸汽机共八台,其中有三台产自于弦月湾商会协助组建的二号工厂——不得不说,这些来自峡湾的工匠无论是天赋还是学习能力要远高于小镇的矿工和铁匠,掌握机床操作后,成品合格率直线上升,说不定再过两个月,二号厂的生产能力就能追上一号厂。好在根据签订的契约,这些机器的售卖收入都归罗兰所有。MoreoverhealsofromCrescent Moon Bay Caravanobtained a newhot air balloonpressing order, Marlanhas been ableto expand the field of vision the thingto be interestedtothistypeenormously, besides the detectionballoon of single, but alsohad custom-madeoneto carrythreetofourpeople of giantballoonsspecially, plannedfor the explorationtofjordnewislands.
另外他还从弦月湾商队得到了一份新的氢气球购买订单,玛尔兰对这种能极大扩充视野的东西非常感兴趣,除了单人的侦查气球外,还特意定制了一个可以搭载三至四人的巨型气球,打算用于对峡湾新岛屿的探索。In addition the payment of firstStream Ship, the threealtogetherwereBorder Townhave broughtabout7000gold royalincome, minusbuying the ingot metal, washstoneandgrainand othercommodity of the expenditures, remaining6000gold royalhaunchedhispopulationexpansionplansufficiently.
加上首艘明轮船的交付,三者一共为边陲镇带来了近7000枚金龙的收入,刨去购入金属锭、洗涤石和粮食等商品的花费,剩下的6000枚金龙足以撑起他的人口扩充计划。Rolandsummoned the officeBarovandIron Axe.罗兰将巴罗夫和铁斧召进了办公室。„Nowhad the extra money, was the timegoes tooutside areato recruitmorepopulation.”Hesizes uptwoto doefficiently, „thismotionbyCity Hall and First Armycoordinationexecution, the concretepersonnelyoudecided,Ionlyconfess the generaltask definition.”
“如今有了余钱,是时候去外地招收更多的人口了。”他打量着两位得力干将,“这一次行动由市政厅和第一军协同执行,具体人员你们自己决定,我只交代大概的任务内容。”„Pleasesay.” The Prime Ministernodsaid.
“您请说。”总管点头道。„Recruitmentis divided intotwodirections, northandsouthern region.”Rolandextracts a mapfrom the table, spreads outbeforetwo people, „especiallyEagle CitytoPort of Clear Waterone...... Isuspected that Timothyalready an member who thesepeopleregard as the Garciainfluence, belongsuselesspopulation that canconsumeat will, thereforeyoumustfirstwin overthem.”
“招收分为两个方向,北方和南境。”罗兰从桌上抽出一张地图,摊开在两人面前,“特别是雄鹰城到碧水港一线……我怀疑提费科已将这些人视作嘉西亚势力的一份子,属于可以随意耗费掉的无用人口,所以你们得抢先把他们拉拢过来。”„The team that City Hallsends outis responsible forgatheringothernoble, artisansandbeing literate, but the First Armyprimary missionisto recruit the common people, with the previouspropagandaforLorddifferent, thismethodshouldbe driving, do youunderstandmymeaning?”
“市政厅派出的队伍负责招揽贵族、工匠和其他识字者,而第一军主要任务是招收平民,和此前的宣传为主不同,这次手段应该更主动些,你们明白我的意思吗?”Iron Axehesitant, „youhad meant...... Strong?”铁斧迟疑了一下,“您是说……强拉?”„cough cough, does not needto achievethatstep,”Rolandcoughstwo, the Sandpeoplestyle is really the simple and crude, „for exampleprovidesfood and initiativepersuasion, to pay for the living expensesahead of timewait/etc..”Hehas sweptBarovone, „thisset of youshouldbe very clear.”
“咳咳,没必要做到那一步,”罗兰咳嗽两声,沙民的风格果然是简单粗暴,“例如发放食物、主动劝说、提前支付生活费等等。”他扫了巴罗夫一眼,“这一套你应该很清楚。”„Naturally, Your highness, Ioncerepeatedlyhad assisted the minister and patrol leaderwhenKingdom Capitalsuppressandcomfort the refugeerebellion,” the latterfeels the beard saying that „theirrequestsare very simple, sometimesmerelyisfills the belly, thereforedoes not needto win overwithmoney, evendo not mention that salary--conditionfavorablewords, theywill instead have the suspicion.

“当然,殿下,我在王都时就曾多次协助过大臣和巡逻队镇压、安抚难民暴动,”后者摸着胡子道,“他们的要求很简单,有时候仅仅是填饱肚子而已,所以无需用钱币拉拢,甚至不要提到薪酬——条件过于优厚的话,他们反而会产生怀疑。落魄贵族则麻烦很多,虽然现在手头拮据、风光不再,但见多识广,要求也高,不会为了一片馒头跟我们千里跋涉,这时候才需要用金钱和允诺来引诱。”Rolandhas pattedtwopalmssatisfied, „was a pity that the Border Townbusinessis many, youare unable to gopersonally, otherwisethisdutycansuccessfullybe accomplishedsurely.”罗兰满意地拍了两下手掌,“可惜边陲镇事务繁多,你无法亲自前去,不然这个任务定能够圆满完成。”„Pleasefeel relieved, Your highness, Iwill send out the most favoritediscipleto go.”Barovsaid with a smile, „treatstonext yearconstructs the city, Scarlet Water Riverboth bankscanbe found in the common people residenceto be good.”
“请放心,殿下,我会派出最得意的弟子前往。”巴罗夫笑道,“待到明年建城,赤水河两岸都能遍布民居才好。”„Will havesuchoneday.”
“会有这么一天的。”
After two peopleask to be excused, Rolandbyhas rested the momenton the chairback, decided that the Northern Slopebackyardhas a look atAnna.
两人告退后,罗兰靠在椅背上休息了片刻,决定去北坡后院看看安娜。Passing through the gate, firstreflectspleasant is the metalblockeverywhere.
一进门,首先映入眼中的便是满地的金属方块。Rolandpicks upplacesin the palm--theirto be similartogetherbasically, about fivecentimeterslength and breadth, the surfaceis not smooth, had been extrudedbyanythinglikelygenerally, onalsoinscribes the serial numberat the same time. For exampletheseal in hishandis then carving " No. 256 " inscription.罗兰捡起一块放在掌心中——它们个头基本相仿,大约五公分长宽,表面并不平整,像是被什么挤压过一般,其中一面上还刻有编号。例如他手中的这块便印刻着「256号」的字样。„What kind, whathasquitegooddiscovery?”
“怎么样,有什么比较好的发现吗?”„1057 th and2284 th, is especially hard, regardless of another degree of hardness and toughness are very outstanding.” The Annaapproachsaid,faceShangyangoverflows the beautifulsmiling face.
“1057号和2284号,一个格外坚硬,另一个无论硬度和韧性都十分优秀。”安娜迎上来说道,脸上洋溢出明媚的笑容。„Achieved more than 2000?” The Rolandsurprisedsay/way, hereceived the minute book that Luciahands over, abovehas written all over the datadensely and numerously. Found22,841lines, discovered after the serial number, writes " carbon content0.8%, No. 4unknownelement15.2% " .
“都做到2000多号了?”罗兰惊讶道,他接过露西亚递来的记录本,上面密密麻麻地写满了数据。找到22841行,发现编号后写着「碳含量0.8%,四号未知元素15.2%」。„Yeah, thistruncatingbarrelis more interesting,”Annablinked, „blendsothermetalstoward the iron slab, unexpectedlycanmakeitsnaturehave the tremendous changes, Iwantto know how reallytheseprillslink.”
“嗯,这个比削枪管有意思多了,”安娜眨了眨眼睛,“往铁块里参杂其它金属,居然能让它的性质发生翻天覆地的变化,我真想知道这些金属小球是如何结合在一起的。”
That AnnaandLuciaexploreat present, is a significanceprofoundwork.安娜和露西亚目前所做的探索,正是一项意义深远的工作。Rolandmakes the little girldecompose many raw materials the orefirst, thenmixesto smeltthemaccording to the differentmass ratios and ferritebyAnna, after being made the briquette, testsitsperformance--through the extrusion and stretch of blackfire, Annacandistinguish the magic powersize that operatesto consumeeach time, thusjudgesitsintensity and toughness.罗兰先让小姑娘将矿石分解成多种原料,再由安娜把它们按不同的质量比与纯铁混合熔炼,制成试块后测试其性能——通过黑火的挤压和拉伸,安娜能分辨出每次操作所消耗的魔力大小,从而判断它的强度和韧性。Firstincreasesobviouslyiscarbon.
最先添加的显然是碳。AlthoughRolandknows that the steelessenceis an iron-carbum alloy: The carbonare many are pig iron, without the carbonis the ferrite, the carbon contentcanbe called the steelinsomerange, moreovera wee bitfluctuationscanchange the metal performancelargely, must therefore obtainfirst, is the size of thisrange.罗兰虽然知道钢本质是一种铁碳合金:碳多了是生铁,没有碳是纯铁,碳含量在某个范围内才能被称为钢,而且一丁点波动都能大幅改变金属性能,所以最先要测得的,就是这个范围的大小。Canlookfrom the record, before 1500 th , is the pureiron and carbonsmelting, but after 1500 th , starts the joiningnewelementbased onsteel. Rolandis clear, the arrangement a figure, itspossibleresultdoubled and re-doubledwill always increase, thisis an extremelylongprocess, thereforehealsoonlyletsAnnawhen the manufacture taskis not arduousexploresthispartial content.
从记录上能看出来,1500号之前都是单纯的铁和碳熔炼,而1500号之后则开始在钢的基础上加入新元素。罗兰清楚,排列组合每多一个数字,其可能的结果将成倍增加,这是一个极为漫长的过程,所以他也只让安娜在制造任务不重时才对这部分内容进行探索。Hehas encouragedtwowitchseveral, sitsone side, calmlyis appreciating the Annabusyback.
他鼓励了两名女巫几句,坐到一旁,静静欣赏着安娜忙碌的背影。Entersafter autumnsunlight, althoughis as before bright, whendid not have the last month of summersinisterness, hefelt that the whole bodyis nice and warm, a stablefeelingwell ups.
入秋后的阳光虽然依旧明亮,但已没有了季夏时的毒辣,他感到全身暖烘烘的,一阵久违的安定感涌上心头。Has not knownhow long, incourtyardis gradually peaceful. Hefeltsuddenly before a softhandplacesoneselfvolume, openspartlyis narrowingboth eyes, Luciahas disappeared, butAnnais sittingbeforehim, „youhad the wordsto wantmeto tell.”
不知过了多久,院子里渐渐安静下来。他忽然感到一只柔软的手放在自己额前,睁开半眯着的双眼,露西亚已不见踪影,而安娜正坐在他面前,“你有话想跟我说。”„......”
“……”„Youreyetoldme,”hersaid,tips of the hairnaturallydangled, likelywascontinuouslytranslucentgold thread.
“你的眼睛告诉我了,”她偏头道,发梢自然垂下,像是一缕缕半透明的金丝。Rolandhesitantmeeting, finallyshook the headreluctantly, „Iam onlysomewhatconfuse.”Henarratedto the opposite party the populationexpansionplanapproximately, „compared withinitialfree choice, nowtomake the best use of the time, has usedsomepartlyto tempt, the method of halfforce. Althoughsuchdoestoavoidthemencounterscommandeering of Timothy, finallyperishesin the corrosion of pill, butearnestthinks, Idoalsomissestohimnottoofar...... The onlydifference is only the goal.”罗兰犹豫了会,最终无奈地摇了摇头,“我只是有些迷惑罢了。”他将人口扩充计划大致向对方讲述了一遍,“比起最初的自由选择,现在为了抓紧时间,已经用上了一些半引诱、半强迫的手段。虽然这么做是为了避免他们遭到提费科的强征,最后殒命于药丸的侵蚀,可认真一想,我所做的离他也差不太远……唯一的区别只在于目的。”„Hasn't goalbeen ableto showall?”Sheaskedin a soft voice.
“目的还不能说明一切吗?”她轻声问。„But......”
“可是……”„Iknow that youwantto sayanything,”Annacovers the mouth of prince, „youworried that theydid not appreciate kindness rendered, simultaneouslyyouare unable to guarantee that the futuregoalforeverwill becorrect--realizes the correctgoalto be misunderstoodwith the wrongmethod, orwas the methodhas created correctly actually the irretrievablemistake...... Youdo not know that iscorrectmethodimportant, iscorrectresultimportant. Isaidright?”
“我知道你想说什么了,”安娜捂住王子的嘴,“你担心他们并不领情,同时你也无法保证今后的目的永远都是正确的——用错误的手段实现正确的目的而被人误解,又或者是手段正确却造成了不可挽回的错误……你不知道到底是正确的手段重要,还是正确的结果重要。我说的对吗?”„Relax,”does not wait forhisanswer, Annato paste onto come, both handshandful of the cheek of Roland, saidnearhisearin a low voice,„hasmein...... Ilookwellyour.”
“放心,”不等他回答,安娜已经贴上前来,双手捧住罗兰的面颊,在他耳边低声说道,“有我在呢……我会好好看着你的。”
