The Volcano Cannon is amongst the most powerful ground-based laser weapons used by forces of the Imperium of Man, unleashing terawatts of energy in a blazing white laser beam which produces a thunderous crack and tremendous recoil.
火山炮是人类帝国部队使用的最强大的地面激光武器之一，释放出数兆瓦的能量，形成一道耀眼的白色激光束，产生雷鸣般的爆裂声和巨大的后坐力。
Overview 概述
This long-ranged weapon is capable of slicing off a Titan's limb or killing an enemy war engine with a single shot, though even a Warhound Scout Titan with intact Void Shields can survive a direct hit. Its firepower is similarly stupendous against lesser targets, reducing a Razorback to nothing more than a blackened scorch mark and utterly vaporizing a thick hundred meter-tall iron gate as though it never existed.
这种远程武器能够一枪斩下泰坦的肢体或杀死敌人的战争引擎，尽管即使是拥有完整虚空盾的战犬侦察泰坦也能在直接命中中幸存下来。它的火力对较小的目标同样惊人，将一辆豪猪化为仅仅是一片焦黑的痕迹，并将一道厚达百米的铁门完全蒸发，仿佛它从未存在过。
Volcano Cannon of the Warlord Battle Titan 军阀战斗泰坦的火山炮
Volcano Cannons are manufactured in small numbers on just a handful of Forge Worlds in addition to Mars. These included Estaban III, Phaeton and Gryphonne IV, all of which are surrounded by formidable Imperial defences.
除了火星，火山炮在少数铸造世界上也有少量生产。其中包括埃斯塔班三号、法厄同和格里芬四号，它们都被强大的帝国防御所包围。
The crystals needed for the weapon to fire, are taken from a mineral vein on the Mining World Cinderus XI. Created when Heretic Psykers were slaughtered and buried beneath the lava rivers on the planet, after a failed plot to kill the Planetary Governor, the crystals cause a loud crackling noise to be emitted by the Volcano Cannon when fired. This noise, which some claim are the final screams of the dead Psykers, has been known to drive those who fight beside the weapon insane; though the tank or Titan crews themselves have never been reported to suffer from these ill effects. As a result units of infantry escorting vehicles and Titans using the Volcano Cannon are subject to periodic purges. The Imperium sees this as an acceptable price to pay for deploying such a devastating weapon on the battlefield.
武器发射所需的晶体取自矿业世界煤灰十一号的矿脉。在杀死行星总督的阴谋失败后，异端灵能者被屠杀并埋在星球上的熔岩河下，这些晶体在发射时会引起火山炮发出巨大的噼啪声。这种噪音，一些人声称是死去的灵能者的最后尖叫声，众所周知，它会让那些在武器旁边战斗的人发疯；尽管从未有报道称坦克或泰坦乘员本身受到这些不良影响。因此，护送车辆的步兵部队以及使用火山炮的泰坦会定期受到清理。帝国认为，在战场上部署如此毁灭性的武器是可以接受的代价。
Titans or Shadowswords using a Volcano Cannon must have them replaced after being fired 1,500 times, in order to avoid catastrophic misfire.
使用火山炮的泰坦或影剑在发射1500次后必须更换，以避免灾难性的失火。
Known Patterns 已知型号
Titans 泰坦
A Reaver Battle Titan can mount a Volcano Cannon only on its two arm mounts, while a Warlord Battle Titan can equip Volcano Cannons on each of its armor carapace hard-points. The massive Imperator Titan can carry up to six on its carapace hard-points.
收割者战斗泰坦只能在其两个臂架上安装火山炮，而军阀战斗泰坦可以在其每个装甲甲壳硬点上装备火山炮。巨大的帝皇泰坦可以在其甲壳上携带多达六个硬点。
Belicosa pattern 好战型
Carried on arm mounts by Mars-Alpha pattern Warlord titans. Too large and powerful to be carried by lesser vehicles or titans, it requires the plasma reactor of a mighty Warlord titan to feed its ravenous appetite for energy.
由火星-阿尔法型的军阀泰坦携带的武器。它太大太强，无法由较小的车辆或泰坦携带，需要强大的军阀泰坦的等离子反应堆来满足其对能量的贪婪需求。
Warbringer Titan Belicosa Volcano Cannon 战争使者泰坦好战型火山炮
Estaban VII pattern 埃斯塔班VII型
The Estaban VII pattern Volcano Cannon is mounted on Shadowswords like the Castigatus.
埃斯塔班VII型火山炮像严惩号一样安装在影剑上。
Mars-Alpha Pattern Nemesis 火星-阿尔法型复仇女神
Can be carried on the carapace of a Warbringer Nemesis Titan.
可以携带在战争使者复仇女神泰坦的甲壳上。
MkIV Phaeton pattern MkIV法厄同型
The current model sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus; which perfected its use in mid-M35.
由机械神教批准的现行模式；这完善了它在M35中期的使用。
The Type 22-S, MkIV Volcano Cannon, Phaeton pattern is the Volcano cannon mounted on Imperial Guard Shadowswords. Due to the immense power requirements to fire the weapon, the Shadowsword must be stationary so that the main drive can be disconnected and the generator connected in its place, allowing power to transfer to the vehicle's capacitors. Firing the weapon just once will completely drain the capacitors, again requiring the vehicle to remain stationary so that they may be recharged.
22-S型MkIV法厄同火山炮是安装在帝国卫队影剑上的火山炮。由于发射武器的巨大功率要求，影剑必须保持静止，以便可以断开主驱动，并将发电机连接到位，从而将电力传输到车辆的电容器。只发射一次武器就会完全耗尽电容器，再次要求车辆保持静止，以便它们可以充电。
Shadowsword with Volcano Cannon 装备火山炮的影剑
MkIII Synne pattern MkIII罪恶型
MkII Teracharge pattern MkII兆级充能型
Was said to be even more powerful than the current MkIV, but was never used in service due to being too volatile. When the Teracharge was fired it almost always destroyed the arms of the Titans and hulls of the tanks that carried it. As a result, it was ultimately determined to be a failure by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
据说比目前的MkIV更强大，但由于过于不稳定，从未投入使用。当兆级充能发射时，它几乎总是摧毁泰坦的手臂和携带它的坦克的外壳。因此，最终被机械神教确定失败。
Mk I Variant pattern MkI变体型
Volatile when fired; almost as much as the failed MkII pattern.
开火时不稳定；几乎和失败的MkII型一样多。
Notes 注意
In the original Adeptus Titanicus-era material, the Volcano Cannon was referred to as the Defence Laser
在最初的泰坦修会时期的材料中，火山炮被称为防御激光
