星球原始巨兽

帝国中一些较大的城市——比如下文中的这座巢都——直径能够达到数千公里。
原文：The Cathedra Crosium was definitelyimpressive.
Even a man like Archimedis Van Leeuwen – no stranger to thesegmentum’s wonders – found himself staring.
Towering high above the low-gravity world of Incandesica,the cathedra’s crown of steeples and chapel towers reached for the 网页链接 was situated at the heart of the Crozier Worlds and was the hub ofAdeptus Ministorum affairs in the sector. The mighty Cathedra Crosium sat atthe heart of Incandesica’s high-rise continental expanse of City-Sanctus. Onefat hive, expanding for thousands of kilometres and dominated by dormitoryspires, temple complexes and the magnificence of gothic shrines, theCity-Sanctus was swarming with priests and pilgrims.
Doubling as a palace of planetary governance, the greatstate rooms of the cathedra were vaulted chambers of ornate stonework - ancientand beautiful. Colonnades of statues ran up the centre, depicting cardinals andother high ecclesiarchs heralding from the sector, and saints that had inspiredthe faithful of the Crozier Worlds.

而一个非巢都的工业城市也能够横跨半个大陆。
原文：The industrial city was a great darkstain across half a continent, its manufactoria standing as titanic cathedralsto the Imperial hunger for munitions and war machines.

巢都世界上的巨大城市规模大到横跨大陆并且向上层层叠起，直捣天空。
原文：One of the most widely known planetaryclassifications is that of hive world. These long-settled planets have becomeso built up and populated that they are marked by vast, continent-spanningcities that reach high into the skies, with levels literally built atopprevious foundations.

也有些巢都是向下（而不是向上）建设的，它们能够深入地下好几十英里。
原文：Not all hive worlds go upwards; othersdescend many dozens of miles into the ground, the surface world remainingunseen for so long it is considered legend.

下面就是一个例子。一颗星球上的多个巢都都有着大陆级别的规模，并且其中还遍布着密集的防御炮台。
原文：From the best visions his Sorcererscould conjure, it appeared as if the defence batteries were concentrated aroundthe mighty continent-sized hive cities.
- Codex: Crimson Slaughter, 6th Edition
还有另一个例子。这座巢都的一个象限（也就是四分之一）就是长宽均为100公里的正方形，所以整个巢都基本就是长宽2000公里了。
原文：A few hundred kilometres west of the northernhemisphere’s administrative nerve cluster, there was a region where the cloudsdid not flash. The area covered a full hive quadrant, almost a thousandkilometres square.

：
影剑坦克上装备的火山炮能够一击瘫痪最大的战争引擎，而只有最强大的护盾才有可能挡住一次来自火山炮的直击，没有任何护盾或者掩护能够提供足够的保护。影剑几乎可以算是任何型号和大小的泰坦的天敌（这里应该不包括战将级和帝皇级），而它们的火山炮会瞄准泰坦身上的薄弱部位来发动致命一击。
原文：The Shadow sword mounts the largest and most powerful primary weapon in the arsenals of Mankind, the dreaded volcano cannon. This awesome weapon can cripple the largest war engines with a single shot. Nothing short of the most powerful energy shields can hope to stop a direct hit from a volcano cannon, no amount of armour or cover can offer protection from it. Throughout the history of the Imperium, Shadow sword tanks have proven to be the natural enemy of Titans of all classes and sizes. The Shadowsword lies in a guided volcano cannon, delivering the killing blow with a single precise shot aimed at one of the behemoth's weak points.

火山炮全力开火时能够仅用一微秒的时间就过载战将泰坦的层层虚空盾，随之而来的爆炸剥离了战将泰坦的上层装甲，宛如风暴吹走一张纸。之后的第二次开火就直接烧穿了战将泰坦的壳子，将其从腰部切成了两半（简称腰斩），后者的上半身随着巨量熔化的金属落到了地上。
原文：Once again the volcano cannon unleashed its deadly fire, the searing bolt of destruction enhanced with all the power Cavalerio could give it. The enemy Warlord’s shields absorbed the first microsecond of the impact, but collapsed with an explosive detonation that tore the upper tiers of its armour away like paper in a storm. Cavalerio kept his aim steady as the fire built in his arm to a raging, searing sensation, and the enemy Warlord vanished as his fire burned through its hull and sliced it almost in two.
The crew of Deus Tempestus cheered as the Warlord broke in two at the waist, its legs left standing as its torso and upper carapace crashed to the ground in a flaming arc of molten metal.
请问 我发你的这篇节选里 可以一发炸开战将的虚空盾+剥离其上层装甲的攻击应该是来自于另一台泰坦，很可能是帝国自己的战将吧？
因为文段里说了“火焰在他手臂上燃烧起来，形成了一种狂暴、灼热的感觉” 结合几乎所有泰坦都是精神操控 这里应该是火山炮的余热在他自己的泰坦手臂上燃烧的效果吧？

“Belicosa”级火山炮打出的能量十分恐怖，威力仅仅会比帝国海军舰船上那些足以荡平大陆的枪炮差一些。只有战将泰坦的等离子反应堆才能供得上这样巨大的能量需求。
原文：TheBelicosa pattern Volcano cannon is one of the most potent energy weapons produced by the forges of the Mechanicumshort of the continent-razing guns mounted on the warships of the Imperialis Armada. It is a weapon so fearsome that only the plasma reactor

先看一下帝国的天启级导弹的表现。几千枚天启级导弹轰炸地面，杀死了3000亿的人口，将800万设施炸成了碎石，还有另外的1500万设施被炸毁，七片大陆被炸得无法居住，四片海洋被蒸干并且化作尘埃。这意味着每一发这种导弹都是数百万亿吨TNT当量的威力级别。
有些人会说这是一起灾难，但是对于帝国的战争机器来说，这顶多会带来一点不便。在档案的记载中，这次的事情被记录为“次要损失”。需要注意的是，天启级导弹并不是舰载武器，而是一种重型陆地载具所搭载的武器，战将泰坦就经常搭载这样的武器。
原文：On Stromark Prime’s second moon, withinone of the many miningcomplexes operated by the Halka consortium, thousands oflong-dormant Apocalypsemissiles rumbled to life. The missiles crested thesurface, arcing round themoon’s orbit to burn towards the manufacturing andpopulation centres ofStromark Secundus.

The aged Jovian oak creaked as it adjusted to one ofMathias’s raremovements. His skin ached as his lips pulled to a line acrosshis face in theclosest approximation of a smile that he could muster. He’dchecked the datathoroughly. The numbers had stayed the same: Three hundredbillion, dead. Eightmillion structures reduced to rubble. A further fifteenmillion ruined. Sevencontinents declared uninhabitable. Four oceans boiled todust. Some woulddescribe this as a catastrophe. To the war machine of theImperium it was merelyan inconvenience.

Mathias picked up the slate and closed the file, tagging theStromarkincident as an occasion of minor loss.

、泰坦是防水的，并且也能够在太空中安然无恙。同时，泰坦还有着用于水下探测的声呐。原文：Go out.’ ‘Princeps?’ ‘Deeper. Go out into the sea. Take us around the obstruction.’ ‘The water will cover us over,’ said Kalis Nen, Cursor Ferro’s moderati oratorius. ‘The cliffs are impassable. This machine is proof against the void. Water cannot harm it. Eighty degrees right. Now.’(…)‘I am aware,’ said Jehani Jehan. The clouded water was opaque even to the infrared, and she was forced to rely on high intensity sonar bursts. The contours of the seabed raced through her mind with each pulse.- Titansdeath————————————3、泰坦上携带者多种探测器，包括但不限于红外线、震动、声呐、声音、无线电以及激光探测器等等。原文：Movement caught her many senses: infrared, seismic, sonar, aural, radar, lidar and all the other machine blessings that were hers by birthright.- Titansdeath————————————4、泰坦是以军团为单位的，一个二级泰坦军团包含有100~130个泰坦。原文：Divisio Militaris records extant for the latter years of the Great Crusade rated the Legio Suturvora as a fully operational Titan Legion of the second rank, with an estimated 100-130 god-engines in active service at the outbreak of the Heresy- Tempest

3）战犬泰坦的武器能够在星际战士没意识到之前就将他们身上的每个分子都分解成原子，它臂上携带的涡轮激光能够以极快的速率开火，每一发都能够切开并且煮熟一位身着动力甲的星际战士，一眨眼之间就有24位星际战士倒下。原文：Unimaginably powerful weapons discharged behind Aximand. The kind that would kill you without you even knowing it, the kind that would atomise every molecule of your body before the brain even registered the muzzle flash.(…)A one-armed Warhound climbed to the top of the rubble, its hull pitted with stubber impacts.(…)Its remaining arm unleashed a withering fan of turbo fire. Ultramarines were hollowed out, sliced open and boiled within their armour. Killing light speared through the ruins. Five metre spurts of vapour and fragmented armour stitched through the rubble. Two dozen warriors were cut down in the blink of an eyeVengeful Spirit

）很多泰坦（尽管不是全部）都会携带一个近战武器，通常会是一个巨大的动力拳或者动力爪，有时候也会是一把巨大的链锯剑，后者能够一扫就将一台超重型坦克劈成两半。原文：Many, though by no means all; Battle Titans carry a close combat weapon, often taking the form of a massive power fist or claw, but sometimes a mighty chainblade able to slice a super-heavy tank in two in a single sweep. - Imperial Armour 13作为例子，战将泰坦的手上就可以安装巨大的、带有分解力场的动力爪，动力爪的每根手指都带着装甲，手背上还有一对巨型爆弹枪，打出的爆弹尺寸堪比人的躯干。原文：An arioch power claw was a weapon for close combat. Charged disruptor fields surrounded its armoured fingers, and the back of the hand mounted a pair of mega bolters that fired explosive, self-propelled bullets as large as a man’s torso. - Titansdeath

灵能泰坦上面闪烁的能量能够修复装甲上的损伤，同时，附近的人会在意识中听到被囚禁者那刺耳的尖叫。原文：Ghostly light courses across the Psi-Titan's hull, re-knitting shattered armour and making new again what was damaged. Meanwhile, the discordant screams of those trapped within echo in the minds of all nearby- for the price is that those damned within have years bled from their own lives to shore up the bars of their prison.- Inferno——————2）灵能泰坦的头部和上身装甲环绕着飓风般的能量，随时准备飞出去席卷敌人，如同拆玩具一般粉碎掉面前的士兵和机械。原文：Unhallowed lightning and hurricane-force winds tear about the Psi-Titan's head and upper carapace, crowning it in a halo of storm which it can hurl out at its foes with baleful force, scattering men and machines before it like toys.- Inferno——————3）灵能泰坦会散发出让人恐惧的精神力场，即使是意志最坚韧的士兵在靠近之后也会崩溃并且带着慌乱逃离战场，而这些泰坦所踏足的城市里面的空气都会弥漫着一种无名的恐惧。原文：Such is the psychically amplified shroud of soul-deep terror that hangs about a Psi-Titan, even the strongest-willed soldiers will break and flee in panic if close to the war machine, while the very air of the cities in which they tread becomes haunted by the nameless dread of their presence.- Inferno

灵能泰坦的主武器是一种集中了内部供能灵能者力量并且将其打出去的灵能巨炮。这种巨炮有些类似漩涡武器，打出的能量看上去像是一个由黑暗组成的球体或者箭矢，并且在碰到致密物体之前会吸收掉沿途一切媒介上面的光。在命中并且爆炸后，命中区域的东西会被彻底湮灭，受害者会一个分子接着一个分子地被送进亚空间。距离命中位置远一些的目标也会被瞬间瘫痪，他们的躯体仿佛断线木偶一般，灵魂会被从躯体里夺走。原文：But the most devastating use of the psychic potential of the Ciricrux Anima is the focusing of its power through a unique weapon system, the Sinistramanus Tenebrae. This is a hybrid of strange technologies, more akin to a mutilated warp engine in design than a conventional weapon, but it serves to focus the psychic antipathy of the bound psykers into a fracture in reality-a fracture, much like the forced warp-breach inherent in vortex weaponry which is then channelled and released as a projectile of nightmarishly destructive force. Where the projectile -which manifests as a sphere or bolt of 'darkness' as it eats the light of whatever medium it passes through before striking dense matter- detonates, it causes complete annihilation in the immediate impact area, as what was there is disassembled and hurled bodily into the Empyrean molecule by molecule until the mercifully brief rupture self-seals. Those in the wider area of the impact are simply struck dead, their bodies left unmarked as if their souls had been sheared from their bodies.- Inferno Inferno——————6）灵能泰坦其实是战将泰坦的一个变种，它的腿部有着数米厚的装甲。原文：The Warlord Titan's colossal size, incalculable power and superior design make it extremely difficult to harm from ground level, with its vital systems elevated far above the heads and hulls of those upon the battlefield below it, while its legs are plated with metres thick armour to prevent it from being assailed by infantry or laid low by explosive charges.- Inferno
