Chapter 101

Spaceport.

The spaceport at this time is no longer the previous one.

That one was only temporary.

After the planetary orbit of Jarilo-VI was moved forward, that spaceport was dismantled.

The current spaceport is the outermost Dyson ring.

It is also a military base.

It's just that it hasn't been fully completed yet; it is still in a section-by-section state and hasn't fully closed.

But even so, it can definitely be called a megastructure!

You have to know, it is going to pave an entire planetary orbit!

The materials needed even have to be transported from other star systems.

There's no way.

The planetary orbit is too long; if materials relied only on the Jarilo star system, I'm afraid that even if all the planets were dismantled, it wouldn't pave much of the orbit.

And the reason why such a large space military base is needed is because in the future, there will not only be the First Fleet, but the numbering of the fleets will continue to extend.

To put it bluntly, where are we even at?

The already destroyed Glamoth Republic had a territory of tens of thousands of light-years.

And even that was not a particularly large faction in the universe.

By comparison.

How much does Lin Qi's faction have?

Leaving aside top-tier strength, the Jarilo star system is only at the average level in the universe.

This is also the common understanding of other factions in the universe.

Jarilo's future should be limitless.

But for now, it's still just a little one.

Not only do major factions like the company, the Xianzhou, and the Family think so, but those interstellar pirates also think so.

Otherwise, how would they dare to repeatedly attack Jarilo merchant ships?

Lin Qi leading the team out this time is to break this impression.

"Commander, everything is ready."

Beside him.

Came a cold and serious female voice.

But Lin Qi knew that this tone was not directed at him, but that the owner of the voice had long been accustomed to speaking this way.

After all, she is now the commander of the Jarilo First Fleet.

Theoretically speaking, she is also the person in the Jarilo star system who holds the second-most military power after Lin Qi.

"Cocolia, give the order."

"Yes! Commander!"

Immediately.

An order was issued.

The crew members all began to act.

【Warp engine charging...】

【Charging complete!】

【Ships of all levels are ready!】

【Initiating warp!】

Subsequently.

Along the star rail, the Jarilo First Fleet left the home planet.

Along with it was a massive merchant fleet.

Lin Qi had no intention of hiding his tracks at all; he went as high-profile as possible.

Anyway, there was only one goal: to deter the petty.

And interstellar travel is not always smooth sailing.

There will always be some twists and turns.

"Commander, a swarm has been detected ahead; should we initiate an attack?"

"Attack!"

The next moment.

The ships equipped with high-energy weapons suddenly opened fire on the swarm blocking the route.

Boom, boom, boom!

Sound cannot travel in space.

But watching the energy beams explode within the swarm always gives one an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"This is interstellar warfare."

"Report, Commander! The swarm has been annihilated!"

"Our fleet's combat damage rate is zero!"

"Requesting further instructions from the Commander!"

Soon.

The fleet staff reported the results of the engagement.

The results were very gratifying.

The swarm was completely wiped out, and the fleet was unscathed.

Although the number of these swarms was average and there was no brood mother leading them, for many merchant ships, they were actually quite a threat.

Merchant ships usually release pathfinding machines on the essential routes in advance to transmit information from ahead back.

If there is a problem, they will detour without hesitation.

They would never be like this, rushing up to fight the swarm.

Even specialized combat ships would avoid them if they could.

After all, bugs are endless, and there is no benefit in fighting them.

Conversely, even if a ship just scrapes off some paint, it costs money to repair.

But Lin Qi's fleet is different.

Coming out this time also had the purpose of training troops.

After all, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, without usage experience, it won't work.

"Continue sailing."

"According to the predetermined plan, first escort the merchant fleet to complete the trade."

Lin Qi said casually.

Upon hearing the order, the fleet began to advance.

Heading to the next section of the star rail.

Interstellar travel in the Honkai: Star Rail world is just like this, traveling from one section of the star rail to the next.

That's why there is the saying of essential routes.

And ever since the Cancer of All Worlds—the Stellaron descended, many star rails have broken, and even "collisions" can occur during warping.

Then there is the possibility of encountering the Legion and the swarm.

Needless to say, the Legion; if you encounter them, you can only admit defeat.

And for ordinary cargo ships, the probability of escaping is low.

What about the swarm?

Don't look at the fact that the Aeon of Propagation has fallen for many years, but the insectoids it left in the world can still bring disasters to interstellar travel and even civilizations.

Besides these, there are the descendants of ancient beasts, star-sky behemoths, and other existences.

Finally, there are the interstellar pirates.

But no matter which kind of disaster it is, it is not something ordinary merchant ships can deal with.
