1712. Yago-Durr counterattack (6)

"Accelerate? Turn?" The Minister of Astronomy was stunned. "This is impossible! According to the current position and rotation direction of Star No. 3, it is impossible to accelerate Star No. 2!"

"The new trajectory has been calculated! If we follow the acceleration and steering this time, there will be an angle difference of -0.11727 from our original calculated trajectory. By then, the trajectory of the second star should be 40 million kilometers away from our fleet. This distance should be harmless."

"Why can such a violent orbit change happen two full days in advance?" said the Minister of Astronomy. "This is simply impossible! Have you calculated the result?"

"No...no..." An astronomer shook his head blankly.

"Has it brought in the gravity of Yago-Dur's planet?"

"Bring it in! The gravity of the Yago-Dur planet is completely insufficient to cause a star to turn!"

"Minister! We've figured it out! What caused the acceleration and rotation of the No. 2 star is the Yago-Dur planet!!" Another astronomer showed up a screen full of calculation formulas.

"This is impossible!!" The Minister of Astronomy rushed over, almost holding the screen to see the calculation results.

"Gravitational waves! They are gravitational waves!" the astronomer said from the side. "The interaction between the second and third stars has produced a large number of gravitational wave traps around them! In the past seven days, the Yago-Dur planet has There was a resonance between the rotation and the frequency of the largest gravitational wave trap! In this process, this gravitational wave began to become extremely powerful, and it also resonated with other gravitational waves! This became the first gravitational wave trap here. Five sources of gravity!”

"This gravitational wave is the source of interference in our communications before!" Another astronomer suddenly realized, "No wonder the Ministry of Communications said there is nothing at the location of the interference source! Because their radar equipment cannot detect it. Gravitational waves!"

"So it is the combined effect of this gravitational wave and the Yago-Dur planet that caused the No. 2 star to accelerate its rotation?" asked the Minister of Astronomy.

"Yes, it's the gravitational slingshot effect!"

"Are you fucking kidding me? There's no way a planet could be a gravitational slingshot to a star!"

"There is also the role of the powerful gravitational wave in this, and as I said before, the rotation of the Yago-Dur planet resonates with the gravitational wave! And the direction of gravity is exactly along the orbit of the No. 2 star. The trajectory after that! Just like a ball will accelerate when it passes through a curve! But..."

"but what?!"

"Under the action of the gravitational slingshot effect, Star No. 2 will certainly turn and accelerate... but in such a gravitational system, the object with lower mass... will be... thrown out..." The astronomer's face turned pale.

"Minister!! Minister!! The Yago-Dur planet is accelerating! It is also out of orbit! It is accelerating!!" There was an exclamation from the side.

"Where's the direction? Where's the speed?!" the Minister of Astronomy asked loudly.

"The speed has exceeded 300 kilometers per second and is still increasing! The direction is..." The astronomer turned his head and looked at the minister with a dull expression, "We..."

The originally chaotic scene suddenly became deathly silent.

After 10 seconds, the Minister of Astronomy suddenly shouted hysterically, "Retreat!! We must retreat!! I'm going to find General Tarkin now! Retreat!!"

As he spoke, he rushed out of the door and stumbled away.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Astronomy Department became noisy and chaotic again!

…

At this time, the entire Yago-Dur planet had turned into a cannonball, rushing straight towards the Galactic Republic fleet!

This is not an ordinary artillery shell. If I must say it, then this is a super artillery shell with a caliber of 11,000 kilometers! !

The planet will not directly hit the Republic fleet, but will fly over more than 50,000 kilometers away from the fleet. But such a huge planet flies by at such a fast speed, and the destructive power caused is not weak at all! It can even be said to be devastating!

Under such circumstances, the entire Yago-Dur planet is a very dangerous area!

The Agonev-class interstellar base A and some other space facilities were in fixed orbits and were left behind after the planet changed orbit. They could only be towed to a new location on Yago-Dur planet by engineering ships. go.

But for Interstellar Base B, it will not be so lucky.

Previously, the Agonev-class interstellar base B was severely damaged during the offensive of the Galactic Republic fleet and was forced to descend into planet-synchronous orbit. So when the planet changes its orbit now, as mentioned before, objects with lower mass will be thrown out...

Under the watchful eyes of many naval officers of the Dawn Principality, including Admiral Matt Horner, Interstellar Base B was directly thrown out of the gravitational range of the Yago-Dur planet and flew towards the vast universe.

If nothing unexpected happens, this interstellar base will eventually be swallowed up by the violent No. 2 star. Fortunately, Matt Horner, who had known the result for a long time, had already evacuated all personnel on Star Base B and removed as much valuable equipment as possible.

But no matter what, the loss of an entire interstellar base is also very heavy.

The entire defense fleet of the Principality of Dawn was almost tightly surrounding the planet Yago-Dur at this moment, with the engine output turned to maximum and trying its best to keep itself within the planet's gravity.

This is a very precise process. A slight miscalculation will result in being thrown out like Star Base B. And if the battleship cannot be stabilized again through its own power, the ending will be the same, being swallowed by the star.

The best mathematical team of the Given people, including Bacher Banak, gathered together and used their most accurate calculations to continuously help these warships correct the direction of the engine output, the position of the warships, etc., to ensure that this fleet could follow The cannonball of Planet Yago-Dur was shot out together!

But this is not a complete insurance. I only saw a Cole-class battlecruiser suddenly deflected and thrown away by the ultra-high-speed planet due to a miscalculation! The battleship was rolling at high speed, and even though the engines were fully turned on, it was still unable to stabilize the battleship.

After a few seconds, another Martha-class guided missile heavy cruiser was also thrown out!

Under such high-speed rolling, the crew inside cannot hold on for long, and they will soon lose consciousness. What will happen to the spacecraft that loses control... is self-evident...

Looking at the few battleships that were thrown out, Admiral Matt Horner's eyes were filled with sadness, but at the same time, they were replaced by endless perseverance!

Only victory can make these sacrifices worthwhile!
