After many years of dedicated efforts to advance technology and numerous breakthroughs, Tom believed that the time was ripe to research and manufacture larger, more strategically significant Earth-class battleships.
As a higher-tier battleship, it would inevitably possess greater offensive and defensive capabilities, able to act as a stabilizing force in even the most chaotic situations; once an Earth-class battleship arrived, the situation would calm down.
It needed to possess unparalleled long-range offensive capabilities, able to inflict massive damage on enemies from tens or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Only then could it cover a sufficiently vast battlefield space and extend its influence to every corner of the battlefield.
It also needed to have the longest endurance. In extreme cases, it had to be able to operate continuously in battle for several months, or even a year, without external resupply.
