Any settlement with a Royal Arsenal shows evidence of a ruler that embraces the cutting edge of military technology. The standout development of the royal arsenal is the ability to produce cast-iron barrels, rather than forming them from wrought-iron bars, resulting in uniformly precise firing chambers. This in turn paves the way for the construction of the most powerful artillery to come from the medieval age.
任何建有皇家軍械廠之城邑,都無不傲然顯示著國家的先進軍工技術。軍械廠以先進澆鑄技術代替過去的鍛造方式,從而使火炮發射單元製作工藝更為精密。這種先進技術,反過來又推動了更大威力的各種火炮進入中世紀戰場。 |
