According to the different tonnage, combat effectiveness, and tactical positioning of the battleships, Chen Yue named the smallest warship that directly undertook the front-line combat mission, and Chen Yue named it the Stardust-class battleship.

A spaceship that was one level larger than the Stardust-class battleship and could serve as the flagship of the combat squad, Chen Yue planned to name it the Nebula-class.

When there is a lot of interstellar dust, it gathers together and is called an interstellar dust cloud, or nebula for short.

On top of the Nebula-class spaceship, there are warships that will become the core of an entire fleet, and Chen Yue plans to name it the "Comet" class.

Above the comet level, there is the dwarf planetary level. Above the dwarf planetary level, there are the satellite level, then the planetary level, the stellar level, the cluster level, the cantilever level, the river level, the galaxy cluster level, and so on, all the way to the final cosmic level.

However, with Chen Yue's current level of military science and technology, if he is full of calculations, he can only build a comet-class warship at the most. No matter how big it is, it can't be built at all, and it will have to wait for military science and technology to develop again.

Battleships are sometimes not always bigger for better. A large enough warship also needs to be matched with sufficiently advanced material technology, propulsion technology, and energy technology, as well as sufficient survivability and attack power.

The rest of the supporting facilities can't be used, and if the battleship is too big, it will just be a slow and fragile live target, which is useless.

This first Stardust-class battleship successfully passed Chen Yue's acceptance and basically met Chen Yue's requirements.

Next, the task of building a large number of Stardust-class warships was immediately put on the agenda.

With resources from across the solar system, the space-built shipyard quickly began production at full capacity.

Countless factories roared, producing the parts needed for the Stardust-class battleships. In a vacuum, gravity-free assembly environment, tens of millions of robots are busy all day long, assembling Stardust-class spaceships one after another.

Once a new spacecraft rolls off the assembly line, under Chen Yue's control, it will immediately fly to a place about 6 million kilometers away from Jupiter, where it will join its "comrades-in-arms" and plunge into a fierce space war.

Since the number of Stardust-class spaceships reached one hundred, Chen Yue immediately began military exercises.

No matter how good the simulated military exercise is, it is always virtual. It can only be changed within the framework defined by Chen Yue. But the real world is destined to be much more complex than the virtual world, and there are many problems that can only be exposed in the real world.

The 100 ships were divided into two camps, and with the support of a large supply ship, fierce confrontation was fought here all day long.

When the number of Stardust-class spaceships increased to 1,000, Chen Yue opened up a second battlefield and began to use a satellite as the core to carry out offensive and defensive drills in the Star War.

One fleet desperately attacked the satellite, trying to destroy the industrial facilities on it. The fleet belonging to this satellite is desperately defending, desperately protecting these industrial facilities that provide resources for themselves.

A large number of ground-based anti-aircraft weapons also came into play. The electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, and missile bases built on the ground are also directly involved in the battle, desperately killing and wounding the enemy and protecting themselves.

Planetary battles, space encounters, space positional battles, near-star environment battles, high-radiation environment battles, planetary surface battles, sneak attack battles, ......

Chen Yue has developed dozens of different space combat environments, manipulating the increasingly large fleet, and fighting against each other all day long in these space environments. Chen Yue's theory of war developed rapidly under these circumstances.

When the number of Stardust-class spaceships reached 20,000, the new generation of squad flagship-level spaceships that Chen Yue had devoted himself to developing, the Nebula-class spaceships, finally rolled off the assembly line, and there were 100 of them.

This has brought about new changes in the war situation.

With a tonnage of 10,000 tons, the Nebula-class ships are larger, heavier, more defensive, and far more powerful in attack than the smallest Stardust-class ships.

It is equipped with 150 interstellar missiles, 30 electromagnetic guns, and two main guns, and the energy of the projectile emitted reaches 1 billion joules, and the lethality of one projectile is equivalent to the entire energy released by the explosion of 240 kilograms of explosives.

When Chen Yue tried to form a formation of Stardust-class battleships, about 30 Stardust-class battleships, and used a Nebula-class battleship as the core of this fleet to fight against an opponent who maintained the previous battle mode and was not equipped with Nebula-class battleships, the fleet equipped with Nebula-class ships immediately showed a crushing situation.

The firepower of the Nebula-class battleships is too fierce, and the defense is too strong. When the battle is in a state of stalemate, that is, the enemy can't suppress itself for the time being, and the enemy can't suppress the enemy, the deployment of the Nebula-class battleships can immediately break the deadlock and directly disrupt the enemy's battle line, and many Stardust-class battleships will immediately rush up and pour firepower, which will defeat the enemy in an instant.

When your side is at a disadvantage, the Nebula-class battleships also show a huge effect. It can become the fulcrum of the local battlefield, so that the Stardust-class battleships can fight with themselves as the core, and be sheltered from complete rout and irretrievable.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and as long as you can hold on and not be defeated, you can always wait for the opportunity to turn the tables. Nebula-class battleships served to prevent a rout.

When you are at a disadvantage, you can continue to hold on and prevent a rout. Able to break the stalemate with powerful firepower and defense during the stalemate, Chen Yue found that this Nebula-class battleship was really easy to use.

After the actual test and confirmed that the Nebula-class battleships and formation combat tactics were indeed useful, Chen Yue immediately began to develop larger comet-class warships.

Chen Yue clearly realized that the comet-class warship was the largest, most powerful, longest endurance, and strongest defense that he could make under his current technical conditions.

Based on this, a comet-class warship needs to be able to play a strategic role that can affect and change the entire battlefield situation in order to be qualified.

Stardust-class battleships are responsible for front-line fighting, and their strategic positioning is consumables, so it doesn't matter if there is more or less.

Nebula-class warships can affect the situation on a battlefield, and if one is destroyed, although it will not affect the overall situation, the situation on this battlefield may be completely out of their control.

Comet-class ships are different.

It is the flagship of an entire fleet, and it has the ability to influence the course of an entire war. Correspondingly, if it is destroyed, it can lead to the loss of a whole war!

It was so important that it took Chen Yue a full year to design it before it was finalized and the construction process officially began.

In this process, Chen Yue also strives for perfection and does not care about consumption at all.
