198 Small trading hubs
In the fuse operation, the Federation prepared a total of 100,000 warships, and the entire operation was directly commanded by Lin Fan, and the participating commanders were unmanned.
They are Emma, Li Cangqiong, Sophia, Fujiwara Ayako and Carol, and Lin Fan's adjutant is temporarily represented by the former chief of staff Will, and Liang Xue did not participate.
This is something that can't be helped, on the one hand, the entire Shanhaiguan Theater needs someone to preside over the overall situation, on the other hand, this battle will last for several years, if Lin Fan and the two daughters all leave, the pair of children will be completely left without anyone to take care of.
Therefore, in the end, Liang Xue stayed in Shanhaiguan.
Speaking of Lin Fan's children, Lin Yu is now seven years old, and Lin Kexin is also six years old.
I don't know if it's because Lin Fan's body and brain are too perverted, Lin Yu and Lin Kexin have been very special since they were children, and now the seven-year-old Lin Yu is no longer inferior to an adult who has not used genetic enhancement drugs in terms of strength and speed, and his brain development has reached a terrifying 15%, as for Lin Kexin, he is not much worse than Lin Yu.
You must know that this is still under the premise that the two of them are young, their bodies have not yet developed, and they have not used genetic enhancement drugs and brain domain development drugs.
You can imagine what a terrifying thing this is!

October 81 in the federal calendar.
Babawi Empire, small trading hub No. 11765.
According to the Federation's stellar system hierarchy, this is a tertiary star system.
The Void is home to a large number of ships of different styles, all of which are caravans from several civilizations around the small trading post.
According to the trade network of the Babawi Empire, all civilizations would transport trade goods to nearby trade hubs on the main arm of the Orion Arm.
Here, you can trade with other civilizations, as well as with the official Babawi Empire.
However, although the Babawi Empire does not prohibit trade between two civilizations, if it is a non-Babawi civilization, it must be supervised by officials of the Babawi Empire, and a transaction tax of 30% of the transaction value must be paid.
So most civilizations usually choose to trade with the Babawi Empire, who said that the Babawi Empire is very pitiful whether it is selling things or buying things, at least 20% of you, but at least you don't have to pay 30% of the transaction tax, which is still cost-effective.
This small trading hub is garrisoned by a small fleet of 3,000 ships of the Babawi Empire.
Throughout the trade network, the Babawi Empire had a large number of main fleets only in large trade hubs, while small and medium-sized trade hubs were all local fleets and few in number.
After all, there were 12,000 small trading hubs alone, and it was impossible for the Babawi Empire to have a large number of troops stationed in each of them.
As usual, no one noticed a void shrinking suddenly, and it wasn't until 100,000 warships landed there that the sirens sounded in the fortress of this trading hub.
"Except what?"
Barbaria, the commander of the small trade hub 11765, walked into the command center of the fortress and shouted!
"Report to the commander, a fleet of 100,000 warships has suddenly appeared, and there is no matching information in the database!"
"Huh?"
100,000 spaceships is not unusual, after all, the surrounding second- and third-level civilizations often carry more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of spaceships in order to pull goods.
But the subordinate said that there was no matching information in the database, and this matter was different.
"Order the garrison fleet to come forward immediately to intercept it, and at the same time call the other party to ask which civilization it is!"
"Yes! But Commander, there's one more thing! ”
"Don't say it yet!"
"Yes, according to the report from the Way of the Stars, there is no record of this fleet passing through the Way of the Stars, so my subordinates boldly guessed that the other party is likely to have a jump engine!"
Listening to the trembling reports of his subordinates, Barbaria's eyes suddenly shrank.
"Are you sure they didn't come through the Path of the Stars?"
"Yes, if the monitors on the Star Path didn't lie about the military situation!"
This is a big deal, and a sense of crisis instantly climbed into Barbaria's heart.
What does 100,000 warships with the ability to leap represent, how could he, as a member of the military of the Babawi Empire, not know it!
"Call the other party immediately, find out who the other party is, and order the garrison fleet to prepare for an attack, once the other party has any undesirable moves, attack immediately, no need to ask for instructions!"
"Understood!"
On the other side, Lin Fan's temporary car, the Kaos, was inside the bridge.
"Commander-in-chief, as in intelligence, there are only 3,000 warships stationed here!"
"Well, immediately release the jump blocking device, and at the same time order the fleet to start attacking and destroy the opponent as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
As Lin Fan's order was given, a strange device was ejected from the Kaos, and at the same time, 100,000 warships started the first salvo towards the oncoming Babawi Empire warships!
It seems that the commander of the garrison fleet of the Babawi Empire did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack, after all, no one on the Orion arm really dared to attack the Babawi Empire.
Therefore, the formation adjustment was not carried out in time, and a wave of fire was directly gathered, and more than 400 of the 800 warships in the front of the fleet were directly reimbursed.
With the plasma cannon currently equipped with the Federa's Orca-class battleships, the main battleships of the Babawi Empire can only withstand 5 or 6 rounds, not to mention the local garrison fleet.
You must know that the local garrison fleet uses low-cost castrated warships, which are basically the same for all civilizations, and it is more than enough to deal with a third-level civilization, but to deal with a fourth-level civilization warship of the same level, it is obviously still a little worse.
"Shoot back, shoot back immediately!"
The commander of the Babawi Empire's garrison fleet, who reacted, immediately shouted and fired back, but for the Babawi Empire's garrison fleet, it really didn't have any experience in fighting with a fourth-level civilization, and the first wave of counterattacks still used range coverage shooting!
The result can be imagined, after a wave of attacks, not a single battleship was blown up, after all, although the hit rate of range coverage shooting is relatively stable, it has no effect on the battleships of the fourth-level civilization.
After all, it is impossible to break the shield with 1 or 2 rounds, and in the war of the fourth-level civilization, only concentrated fire attacks can cause effective damage!
At this time, Barbaria, who was watching the battle in the fortress, was also shocked, with a light blue energy shield and 100,000 warships with jump engines.
Obviously, this is a real fourth-level civilization fleet, and the huge numerical difference does not see any chance at all.
"Quick, send everything that happened here, as well as the appearance of the opponent's warship, weapons, etc., to the empire!"
"Yes!"
