1711. Yago-Durr Counterattack (5)
“The supplies must be ensured. This attack may last for more than three days.” Admiral Gideon Tarkin signed a document, At the same time, he also said: "Send the material transportation plan over within an hour to prepare the rear base. I want to check it myself."
"Yes!" The logistics officer stood at attention and saluted.
"Get me the astronomy department. I want to know the movement of the stars in the Yago-Dur system in the next seven days." Gideon Tarkin continued.
"General, here are the calculation results of our astronomers." A scientist immediately presented a prepared report, "According to the current movement of the three stars, the largest star No. 1 is currently in a In a relatively stable state, the other two stars are revolving in two different orbits. However, due to the influence of their mutual gravity, star No. 3 may approach star No. 2 in two days, and then the two stars will pass. Forming a short-lived binary star system, this system is relatively stable and should last for about two years.”
Admiral Gideon Tarkin looked at the report, frowned and asked: "Where is the planet Yago-Dur? How will it behave during this orbital change?"
The scientist was confident and immediately answered : "During this orbit change, the Yago-Dur planet will be captured by the gravity of the two stars at the same time, and due to the distance problem, it will break away from the gravitational control of the No. 1 star and become a satellite of this binary star system. However, the No. 1 star will Gravity is still strong. Under this effect, the rotation speed of Yago-Dur's planet will increase, and the gravity on the planet will increase by about 1.17 times. "
Gideon Tarkin said thoughtfully. He nodded and asked: "So, in the next two years, the orbit of the Yago-Dur planet will be relatively stable until the binary system of the two stars No. 2 and No. 3 disintegrates?"
" That's right. In fact, under the influence of this binary star system, the rotation speed of star No. 1 is also slowly accelerating. In two years, under the influence of this acceleration, star No. 1 will be displaced. This displacement will cause star no. The star appears in a new orbit, and then the gravitational balance of the three stars will be destroyed again, causing the galaxy to become chaotic again."
"How chaotic will it be?" Gideon Tarkin asked casually. .
"Sorry, with the equipment we currently have here, we are no longer able to complete such calculations." The scientist shook his head, "But what will happen to the Yago-Dur galaxy at that time actually has little to do with us. This planet They have already returned to the embrace of the Republic, and the Jiwen people know how to deal with it. Let them worry about it. "
"It doesn't matter, I just asked you to leave." nodded.
"Yes." The scientist turned and left.
Gideon Tarkin breathed a sigh of relief and returned to work again. He will ensure that the upcoming offensive is foolproof.
About two hours later, Admiral Gideon Tarkin was already talking to the flight control commander of the fighter formation through communication, but the communication was very unsmooth and seemed to be interfered with, and the noise was very serious. .
After taking a lot of effort to finish the work, Gideon Tarkin was unhappy and said to his secretary next to him: "Let the communications department get the communications done as soon as possible! Is it interference from the Separatists or some other factor? ! I can't launch an attack in such a communication environment!"
"Oh, General, the communication department has just sent a message stating that there is an electromagnetic storm passing by, but it will pass soon. It will be restored soon," the secretary said.
Gideon Tarkin nodded doubtfully.
At this time, communications came from the rear base. Among the intermittent words, Gideon Tarkin knew that the last five Vindicator-class heavy cruisers had been prepared and would set off in an hour.
“I understand, we have made all preparations here, and all supplies have been prepared separately. After the arrival of the five Defender-class ships, they will complete combat preparations within half an hour and participate immediately Go to the attack!" Admiral Gideon Tarkin said majestically.
But for such a simple sentence, he repeated it four times before the other party understood it.
He threw away the communicator anxiously and said to his secretary: "Within one hour! The communication must be restored! Otherwise, everyone in the communications department will be shot by me!"
… …
However, at this time, the communications department was already in chaos.
“Antenna No. 7! Why is there no signal on Antenna No. 7!”
"Don't worry about Antenna No. 7! Now there is a problem with all our signal transmissions!" "Has the source of interference been identified? Where is it?!"
"I don't know! It's not Star No. 2 It’s not Star No. 3! It’s an interference source from an area with nothing in the middle!”
“Is it a new interference device from the separatists?”
“The sensor has been installed. Scan, there’s nothing there!”
"What if there is a stealth system?"
"Can you design a system for me that can emit powerful electromagnetic interference signals while maintaining stealth?"
"The astronomy department has something to say "
"I asked about it 10 minutes ago, and they didn't answer anything!"
"Then send someone to ask in person!"
At this moment, a technician suddenly froze. He pointed at the screen and stuttered for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence, "This...ah...two...number two..."
"What are you talking about?" the Minister of Communications walked over and asked.
But immediately, he was also stunned, and his whole person was stunned!
On the whole galaxy star map displayed on the screen, the trajectory of the No. 2 star is changing drastically! This star left its current orbit at a speed visible to the naked eye and moved in another direction!
"Asshole... Bastard! I know! The electromagnetic storm just now is a precursor to the star's upcoming orbit change!" The Minister of Communications said loudly, "Quick!! Go to the Astronomy Department!! Didn't they say two days? Will there be a change of track later? ”
...
At the same time, the Department of Astronomy is also in chaos!
"Star No. 2 has changed its orbit!"
"Damn it! This is impossible! Where is the orbit? How different is it from what we calculated?" A scientist from the Ministry of Astronomy jumped directly on it to draw The screen is filled with countless tracks.
"There is a difference in angular velocity! The rotation speed is also accelerating! If we follow the current trend, there will be a 0.34667 degree difference between the orbit of the No. 2 star after its orbit changes and our calculated result!"
"Calculate the new orbit immediately!"
"It's calculated! According to the current orbit, the No. 2 star will pass by 21 million kilometers away from us!"
"No! Too It's close! Notify General Tarkin immediately! "No! That's wrong!" "What's wrong!" road.
"Star No. 2...is...accelerating! And, it's turning!"
