Chapter 278: Life and Death Gambling (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
In the sky, the small spaceships of the Gaians soon appeared in the sky above this desert, unlike before, the number of small spaceships of the Gaians this time was as high as 19, which is an extremely amazing number, you must know that when the Gaians launched an invasion of the earth, just a small spaceship could kill nearly a thousand troops of the countries of the earth in just a few minutes.
19 small spaceships, this is enough to prove the anger and revenge of the Gaians for the loss just now, not only that, but along with the small spaceships, there are nearly a hundred shuttles, overwhelming, and fiercely swooping towards this.
In the previous attack, one of the Gaians' small ships fled, and it was the location of its escape guide base that was directly exposed. When there was still some distance from the base, in order to avoid being attacked by the base, the small spaceship of the Gaians temporarily stopped at a distance, and the shuttle piloted by the Jiqì people was sent out first to reconnoiter the previous location of the base.
But to the disappointment of the Gaia, they found that there was nothing below the target they had previously located, whether it was visual observation or instrument scanning, and there were sand dunes one after another everywhere below the location. This result made the commander of the Gaia people very puzzling, could it be that the base of the earthlings could not run away with long feet? Or maybe they're mistargeting?
It is absolutely impossible to make a mistake in positioning, as a member of the cosmic civilization, the Gaia people with far more technology than the earth firmly believe in their own ability, although they don't know how the earthlings hide their base, let alone how the earthlings do the search from space downward, but the Gaian commander believes that the target they are looking for must still be in the same place, but they haven't found it for the time being.
Not only that, but it was a great shame that the arrogant Gaians were destroyed by the resistance of the earthlings in two small ships at once, when the search was fruitless again. The commander of the Gaians quickly issued a full-scale attack on the target area, and when the order was given, all the small spaceships, including the shuttles, bombarded the base indiscriminately with all kinds of weapons, and the momentum was simply terrifying.
Inside the base, although the center of the bombardment was still some distance from the base. However, the powerful kinetic energy still affected the base through the shock and shock waves of the gravel.
The entire interior of the base shook one after another, and although the sturdy hull and internal facilities protected the shaking, these shaking did not cause substantial damage, but it was very uncomfortable for the personnel inside the base.
"It is reported that the Gaian bombardment is spreading from the target area in all directions." Suddenly, the monitors reported loudly.
"Distance?" Hu Gang asked calmly.
"It's 12 kilometers from us...... No! It's already 11 kilometers! The opponent's attack range is still expanding, and now it is almost 10 kilometers! ”
"Commander, do you want to activate the protection system immediately?" A staff officer asked with some nervousness.
This base has a practical protection system similar to the shield of the Gaian ship. It is formed by a combination of electromagnetic waves and oscillating waves, this technology is not perfect, it is only a preliminary research, so it has not been equipped in the Earth Space Fleet, and the protection system of the base equipment was originally used to detect the practical type of this system, and prepare for the future warships of the Earth Space Fleet, but who would have thought that the war would start before it was fully completed, so at present, only this base has such a protection system.
Designed according to the theory. As long as the base protection system is activated, then the base can completely resist in the face of direct attacks by the Gaians. But Hu Gang thought about it and still rejected this construction, and still let everyone in the base wait in silence.
"It's 10 kilometers! …… 9 km ...... 8.5 km ...... 8 km ....... ”
The Gaia are probably crazy, and when the attack is ineffective, they simply take the target positioning center as the standard, and extend the attack in all directions, as the attack distance gets closer and closer, the shock wave and oscillation felt inside the base also become more and more powerful. Although the thick sand can play a large part of the defensive role, it cannot completely eliminate the destructive power of this attack, not to mention that this time the Gaians dispatched so many small ships and shuttles, under a blow of this scale, if they were directly hit without the protection of the protection system. Then the whole base is finished.
“…… 7 km ...... 6.5 km ...... 6 km ....... ”
The blow has lasted for more than ten minutes from the beginning to now, and the surface of this desert has completely changed, the vast yellow sand has produced a crystalline body similar to glass under the action of high temperature and kinetic energy, and those sand dunes have also changed beyond recognition, and the entire sand surface is almost like the surface of the moon is covered with craters that have been hit by meteorites.
“…… 5 km ...... 4.5 km ...... 4 km! Commander! It's less than 4 kilometers away! ”
The monitors shouted nervously, their heads covered in cold sweat, and the concussions and shocks inside the base were no longer upright, which was enough to prove how fierce the Gaian attacks were.
"Commander, request the protection system to be activated!" The staff officer reminded again.
Hu Gang pursed his lips, his eyebrows locked, as if he was considering whether to activate the protection system. At this time, Cao Zhen and the political commissar who were not far from him also showed a nervous look on their faces, they had never expected such a fierce attack, although they didn't know what the protection system mentioned by the staff officer was, but from the staff officer's urgent two requests in succession, they also guessed that this protection system should be able to make the base resist the other party's blows. However, Hu Gang just didn't give the order, why is this?
In fact, Hu Gang didn't want to give this order, and the words of the start order always swirled around his mouth, and he almost said it several times but was held back by him. The reason is simple, once the protection system is activated, although it can resist the opponent's blows, the problem is that if the system is activated, it is likely that the Gaians will find out where they really are.
This is almost a double-edged sword, and it is an unsolvable multiple-choice question. Whether they start or not, they may face danger, or even greater danger, but rather than betting, betting that the Gaian attack will not cover where they are now, as long as they do not directly withstand the attack, then the base will be preserved, and the danger will be passed.
And there is another reason for Hu Gang to have this kind of luck, that is, to cover the attack with the original position as the center, and with each meter of advancement, the area covered will increase in a geometric way. This can be deduced from the fact that the attack is getting closer and closer to them, but the extended coverage attack is getting longer and longer, Hu Gang decided to wait and see, if it wasn't for the last minute, he still wanted to gamble his luck.
“…… 5 km ...... 4.5 km ...... 4 km ....... ”
The opponent's attack continued, and half an hour had passed since the beginning, and the Gaian attack had not stopped, and it was even becoming more and more crazy and fierce. When the last 3 kilometers were shouted out by the monitoring personnel, everyone at the scene turned their eyes to Hu Gang, expecting Hu Gang, as the commander, to give the order to activate the protection.
But they were disappointed, Hu Gang still did not speak, and the attack of the Gaians continued, and after a few minutes, the distance had been shortened to 2.1 kilometers, the interior of the base had shaken violently, the lights began to turn on and off, and the piercing sirens sounded everywhere.
Just when everyone was almost desperate, thinking that the entire base would be destroyed by the Gaian attack, suddenly the shock and impact stopped at once, the lights returned to normal, the alarm was gone, everyone didn't react at once, everyone's body and senses seemed to be still in the blow that was getting closer and closer just now, a few seconds later, the monitoring personnel were the first to shout loudly and excitedly that the Gaian attack had stopped, and everyone was stunned for a moment and then let out a cheer at the same time.
Hu Gang clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was even more excited, his judgment was correct, and he finally won the gamble in this gamble of life and death! (To be continued......)
