In the sky, the Gaians' small spacecraft soon appeared over this desert. Unlike before, this time the Gaians' small spacecraft had reached 19, which was an amazing number. You should know that when the Gaians were launching the invasion of the earth, a small spacecraft could kill nearly a thousand troops from various countries on earth in just a few minutes...

The 19 small spacecraft were enough to prove the Gaias' anger and revenge for the losses just now. Not only that, nearly a hundred shuttles were also coming together, covering the sky and rushing towards this with great momentum.

In the previous attack, one of the Gaia's small spacecraft escaped, and it was its escape that caused the base's location to be directly exposed. When it was still some distance away from the base, in order to avoid being attacked by the base again, the Gaia's small spacecraft temporarily stopped in the distance and sent out the shuttle bus driven by the robot first to reconnaise the previous location of the base.

But what disappointed the Gaias was that they found that there was nothing under the target they had previously located. Whether it was observation of the naked eye or scanning the instrument, there were sand dunes everywhere below the location. This result made the Gaias commander very puzzled. Could it be that the president of the Earthlings' base run away? Or was there an error in their positioning?

It is absolutely impossible to make mistakes in positioning. As a member of the universe civilization, the Gaia people, who have far surpassed the technology on Earth, firmly believe in their own abilities. Although they don’t know how the Earthlings conceal their base, and they don’t understand how the Earthlings scan down from space, the Gaia commander believes that the target they are looking for must be still in their original place, but they have not discovered it for the time being.

Not only that, the arrogant Gaias were destroyed by the resistance of the Earthlings, which was a great shame. When the search was fruitless, the Gaias commander quickly issued a comprehensive attack on the target positioning area. When the order was issued, all the small spacecraft, including various weapons from the shuttle, bombarded the original location of the base. Their momentum was so great that it was simply thrilling.

Inside the base, although the center of the bombing is still a distance away from the base, the powerful kinetic energy still affects the base through the shock waves of the sand and the shock waves.

The entire base shaking one after another. Although the shaking did not cause substantial damage under the protection of the solid hull and internal facilities, it was very uncomfortable for the personnel inside the base.

"Reported that the Gaian bombing spread from the target area to the surrounding area." Suddenly, the monitoring personnel reported loudly.

"Distance?" Hu Gang asked calmly.

"It's 12 kilometers away from us... no! It's already 11 kilometers! The opponent's attack range is still expanding, and it's about to 10 kilometers!"

"Commander, will you activate the protection system immediately?" a staff officer asked nervously.

This base has an experimental protection system, which is similar to the protective cover of the Gaia spacecraft. It is formed by a combination of electromagnetic waves and oscillating waves. This technology is not perfect and is only preliminary research, so it cannot be equipped in the Earth Space Fleet. The protection system equipped by the base was originally used to detect this system practical, preparing for the warships of the Earth Space Fleet to change gears, but who would have thought that the war began before the war was completed, so at present, only this base has such a protection system.

According to the theoretical design, as long as the base protection system is activated, the base can be completely resisted when facing the Gaias' direct attack. However, Hu Gang thought about it and refused this suggestion, and still kept the entire base silent and waiting.

"It's 10 kilometers!...9 kilometers...8.5 kilometers...8 kilometers..."

The Gaians were probably crazy. When the strike did not work, they simply extended the attacks to all directions based on the target positioning center. As the attack distance became closer, the shock waves and oscillations felt inside the base became stronger and stronger. Although thick sand can play a large part of the defense, it cannot completely eliminate the destructive power of this attack. What's more, this time the Gaians dispatched so many small spacecraft and shuttled aircraft. Under such a large-scale attack, if they were directly hit without the protection of the protection system, then the entire base would be finished.

“…7 kilometers…6.5 kilometers…6 kilometers….”

The blow has lasted for more than ten minutes from the beginning to now. The surface of this desert has completely changed. The vast yellow sand produced a crystal similar to glass under the action of high temperature and kinetic energy. The sand dunes were also beyond recognition. The entire sand surface was almost covered with pits that were hit by meteorites, just like the surface of the moon.

"…5 kilometers…4.5 kilometers…4 kilometers! Commander! It's less than 4 kilometers!"

The monitoring personnel shouted nervously, covered in cold sweat. At this time, the shock and impact inside the base could no longer stand upright, which was enough to prove how fierce the Gaians' attack was.

"Commander, please activate the protection system!" The staff officer reminded again.

Hu Gang pursed his lips tightly, his eyebrows frowned, as if he was considering whether to activate the protection system. At this time, Cao Zhen and the political commissar who were not far away also showed a nervous look on the faces of the political commissar not far away. They had never expected such a fierce attack. Although they did not know what the protection system mentioned by the staff officer was, they could also guess from the urgent and second consecutive requests by the staff officer that this protection system should enable the base to resist the other party's attack. However, Hu Gang just didn't give orders, why is this?

In fact, Hu Gang didn't want to issue this command. He always kept talking about the start command. He almost said it several times but was held back by him. The reason is very simple. Once the protection system is activated, it can resist the other party's attack, but the problem is that if the system is activated, the Gaias will probably find their true position.

This is almost a double-edged sword, and it is even more an unsolved multiple-choice question. Whether it is started or not, they may face danger, or even greater danger. Rather than this, it is not a bet that the Gaias' attacks will not cover their current location. As long as they do not directly bear the attack, the base can be preserved and the danger will be overcome.

There is another reason why Hu Gang is lucky, that is, he uses his original position as the center to cover the attack around. With every step forward, the area covered will increase in geometrically. This can be concluded from the attack getting closer and closer to them, but the time for extending the attack to cover the attack is getting longer and longer. Hu Gang decided to wait and see. If it was not the last moment, he would still want to bet on his luck.

“…5 kilometers…4.5 kilometers…4 kilometers…4 kilometers….”

The opponent's attack continued. Half an hour passed since the beginning. The Gaia attacks have not stopped yet, and they have even become more and more crazy and fierce. When the last 3 kilometers of numbers were shouted out by the surveillance personnel, everyone at the scene turned their attention to Hu Gang, hoping that Hu Gang, as the commander, would issue an order to activate the protection.

But they were disappointed, Hu Gang still didn't speak, and the Gaia attack continued. After a few minutes, the distance had been shortened to 2.1 kilometers. The inside of the base had been shaken violently, and the lights began to turn light and dark, and a harsh alarm sounded everywhere.

Just when everyone was almost desperate and thought that the entire base would be destroyed by the attack of the Gaias, the shock and impact suddenly stopped, the lights returned to normal, and the alarm sounded gone, and everyone did not react at once. Everyone's bodies and senses seemed to be still in the attack that was getting closer and closer. A few seconds later, the surveillance personnel were the first to shout loudly that the attack of the Gaias stopped. Everyone was stunned and cheered at the same time.

Hu Gang clenched his fists tightly, and was even more excited. His judgment was correct. He finally won the bet in this life and death gambling! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
