Let $\vec{a} = a_1\hat{i} + a_2\hat{j} + a_3\hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = b_1\hat{i} + b_2\hat{j} + b_3\hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = c_1\hat{i} + c_2\hat{j} + c_3\hat{k}$ be three non-zero vectors such that $\vec{c}$ is a unit vector perpendicular to both $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$. If the angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}$,then $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \end{array} \right|^2 = \dots$
