949. Flare outbreak
[Correction of one data, there is a problem with the previous stellar flare level data. The stellar flare level that can affect the satellite Planetary Shield should be X-20, and the initial flare level should be X-10.]
Eriadu star At this moment, an extremely dazzling light burst out. The light was emitted from the stellar flare that originally reached the X-10 level. At this moment, the star burst out with extremely terrifying energy!
The star spots around this stellar flare are constantly moving, and then create a very terrifying stellar storm. The energy of the stellar flare increases accordingly, and this stellar storm ejects a huge amount of stellar matter in the direction of the flare.
The star's corona seemed to be boiling, rolling up a prominence hundreds of thousands of kilometers long in the direction of Eriadu, followed closely by the second and third prominences!
The X-10 class flare of Eriadu star was originally the most violent reaction in recent years, but this time, the reaction was further intensified by the more than one thousand tons of Hypermatter, making the star's motion even more violent!
The flare index level keeps improving! X-Level 11, Level 12, Level 15...
While the flare continues to intensify, the super giant solar prominence caused by the coronal mass ejection also produces several consecutive waves of extremely powerful charged particle flows, and directly forms a magnetic field storm!
Stellar flares are still getting stronger, and the electromagnetic storms they generate are getting stronger and stronger!
X-Level 18, Level 19... Level 20!!!
Finally, on countless stellar monitoring instruments from both Fourth Civilization and Galactic Republic, the highest level of this stellar flare was fixed at level X-20.3!
At the same time, in both the Fourth Civilization flagship Chaos and the Republic 18th Army command center on Eriadu, piercing alarms began to sound continuously.
"Success!! The stream of charged particles produced by this stellar flare will arrive at Eriadu in three days! The electromagnetic storm has now formed! It is expected to affect the battlefield in 28 minutes!" The Givin monitor said loudly.
"Success! We succeeded!!!" Everyone present cheered loudly.
Baher-Banak's scepter hit the ground hard, and his body was even shaking. He took a deep breath and said with a slight trembling, "This is... the miracle of mathematics!"
Ling Liang's expression was equally excited, but she concealed her emotions very well and just said lightly, "I will go to the landing ship to stand by. I will personally direct this satellite landing battle!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, seemingly very calm. However, she didn't even notice that she accidentally knocked over a coffee cup and spilled the coffee on her pants. She just kept this somewhat stiff posture and left the bridge.
Sefrans-Tann returned to the fleet headquarters, gave a rare nod to Matt-Admiral Horner, and then said, "Notify all ships to be prepared for the incoming electromagnetic storm! Recover all fighter jets, lower the shields in time, and protect electronic equipment!"
Matt-Hona also said, "During the duration of this flare, communications will be greatly affected, and we need to move the command center forward."
Sefrans-Tann nodded.
Didi didi!
A piercing siren sounded in the command center inside the fortress-like giant administrative center on Eriadu.
An officer quickly came to the 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin, stood at attention, performed a military salute, and then said, "Your Excellency, Governor, God The station sent an urgent message that the flare reaction of Eriadu star suddenly increased, and in less than 20 minutes, the intensity level increased from the previous X-10.4 level to X-20.3 level!"
"Asshole!!" Governor Tarkin slapped his hand on the table, "Are those people at the observatory eating shit?! Why are there misjudgments in such a large-scale stellar reaction!!"
"The observatory said there were no problems with their previous observations and calculations..." The officer quietly wiped away a cold sweat.
At this time, a half-bald old man ran in quickly. He was the person in charge of the Eriadu Observatory. He was also sweating profusely and said, "That's right! There were no problems with the previous calculations! The results of this reaction were not reflected in our predictions at all..."
Wilhuff-Tarkin suddenly turned around and stared at the old man, and said viciously, "Is it Separatists who is up to something?!"
"We can't be sure... because we have just conducted further observations and calculations, and the source of this violent reaction is very close to the star. At that distance, almost no spacecraft or missiles can exist intact, and our star monitoring station has not detected any signals of incoming foreign objects." said the person in charge of the observatory.
"No detection does not mean that nothing happened!" Wilhuff-Tarkin's expression was extremely sinister. "Now I have prepared the fleet to prepare for electromagnetic storms, recover fighter jets, lower shields, and protect electronic equipment, but I also need to know what impact this abnormally large stellar flare will have!"
The old man in charge of the observatory shook his head and said, "It's not just the fleet! According to calculations, we even need to shut down Planetary Shield on Eriadu satellite. Otherwise, when the electromagnetic storm strikes, The capacitor capsule of Planetary Shield will be overloaded and melted in an instant, and it will not even be possible to repair it at that time. It can only be replaced as a whole. Since the Planetary Shield on Eriadu has greater power, it can still withstand this electromagnetic storm as long as it is operated at full power."
Wilhuff-Tarkin shouted angrily, "Now Separatist fleet is wreaking havoc at our door! Do you think there are nearly 200 kilometer-level warships here for tourism?! At this time, you ask me to turn off the satellite Planetary Shield?!"
The old man sighed, "Even if you don't turn it off, the consequences will be the same. The electromagnetic storm will destroy the satellite's Planetary Shield capacitor. If you don't turn it off, it will only last a little longer. But in this case, the satellite's Planetary Shield must be replaced."
He glanced at Tarkin carefully and said, "Actually, we are quite lucky this time. Because the energy of this stellar flare almost exceeded the threshold... According to calculations, once the level of this flare exceeds the X-22 level, it will trigger a chain reaction and make the star's reaction progress. If it expands further, the flare will eventually reach a devastating level of X-30 or above... By then, the entire Eriadu satellite will become a large microwave oven, and Eriadu will not be much better, maybe it will be a microwave oven with a lower power..."
Bang! Wilhuff-Tarkin punched the table again, "Is there more?"
"Three days later, the stream of charged particles ejected from the corona of the star will arrive at Eriadu... At that time, the entire side facing the star will be continuously bombarded by EMP bomb..." the person in charge of the observatory said, "At that time, Planetary Shield must be fully turned on, otherwise, all electronic equipment on the planet will be severely damaged."
"This must be Separatists who is causing trouble!!" Wilhuff-Tarkin roared.
"Your Majesty the Governor, what should we do?" the officer asked cautiously.
Wilhuff-Tarkin gritted his teeth and said, "What else can be done...Planetary Shield who shuts down the satellite! Let all fleets focus on protecting the satellite!"
