1711. Yago-Durr Counterattack (5)
"It is necessary to ensure that the supplies are complete. This attack may last more than three days." General Gideon-Tarkin signed a document and said at the same time, "Send the supplies transportation plan over within an hour so that the rear base can be prepared. I want to personally inspect it."
"Yes!" The logistics officer stood at attention and saluted.
"Answer Astronomy Department for me. 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 One is currently in a relatively stable state, and the other two stars are moving in two different orbits. However, due to the influence of their mutual gravity, Star Three may approach Star Two in two days, and then the two stars will form a short-lived binary system. This system is relatively stable and should last for about two years."
General Gideon-Tarkin looked at this report, frowned and asked, "Where is the planet Yago-Dur? How will it operate during this orbital change?"
The scientist was confident and immediately replied, "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 Star One and become a satellite of this binary star system. However, the gravity of Star One is still strong. Under this effect, the rotation speed of the Yago-Dur planet will accelerate, and the gravity on the planet will increase by about 1.17 times."
Gideon-Tarkin nodded thoughtfully 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 One is also slowly accelerating. In two years, under the influence of this acceleration, Star One will be displaced. This displacement will cause Star One to have a new orbit, and then it will destroy the gravitational balance of the three stars 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 a calculation." 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 has already returned to the embrace of Galactic Republic, and the Givin itself knows how to deal with it, so let them worry about it."
"It's okay, I'm just asking. You can leave." Gideon-Tarkin nodded.
"Yes." The scientist turned and left.
Gideon-Tarkin breathed a sigh of relief and devoted himself to work again. He will ensure that the upcoming offensive is foolproof.
About two hours later, Generals Gideon-Tarkin were already talking via communication with Commander, the flight controller of the fighter formation. However, the communication was very unsmooth and seemed to be interfered with, and the noise was very serious.
It took a lot of effort to finish the work. Gideon-Tarkin was unhappy and said to his secretary next to him, "Let Communications Department fix the communication as soon as possible! Is it Separatists's interference or some other factor! I can't launch an attack in such a communication environment!"
"Oh, General, Communications Department has just sent a message to explain. There is an electromagnetic storm passing by, but it will pass soon and communications 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 were ready and would set off in an hour.
"I understand, we have made all preparations here, and all materials have been prepared separately. After the arrival of the five Vindicator-classs, they will complete combat preparations within half an hour and immediately participate in the attack!" General 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, Communications Department, one by one, will be shot by me!"
However, at this time, 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! All our signal transmissions are having problems now!"
"Has the source of interference been identified? Where is it?!"
"I don't know! It's not Star Two or Star Three! It's an interference source from an area with nothing in the middle!"
"Is it Separatists's new jamming device?"
"The sensors have been scanned, there's nothing there!"
"What if there is a stealth system?"
"You can design a system for me that can emit powerful electromagnetic interference signals while maintaining invisibility?"
"Does Astronomy Department have an explanation?"
"I asked 10 minutes ago and they didn't answer anything!"
"Then send someone over and ask him face to face!"
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?" Communications Department Minister walked over and asked.
But immediately, he was stunned and his whole body was stunned!
I only saw that on the star map of the entire galaxy displayed on the screen, the trajectory of Star Two was undergoing drastic changes! 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 sign that the star is about to change its orbit!" Communications Department Minister said loudly, "Quick!! Go find Astronomy Department!! Didn't they say that the orbit will change in two days?!"
At the same time, there was also chaos over there at the Astronomy Department!
"Star Two has changed tracks!"
"Damn it! This is impossible! Where is the orbit? How different is it from what we calculated?" Astronomy Department A scientist jumped directly onto the screen filled with countless trajectories.
"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 Star Two after its orbit change and our calculated result!"
"Calculate new orbits now!"
"Calculated! According to the current orbit, Star Two will pass by us at a distance of 21 million kilometers!"
"No! It's too close! It's dangerous! Notify General Tarkin immediately!"
"No! No! No! This calculation is wrong!"
"What's wrong!!" Astronomy Department Minister roared.
"Star Two... is... accelerating! And, turning!"
