Zhang Heng's naked confrontation immediately caused the two warring civilizations to cease fire.
The defensive capabilities of their two civilizations are not enough to defend against their own strike weapons.
I saw black spaceships that suddenly broke into the battlefield, but I could easily neutralize them.
Obviously, anyone who is not stupid can immediately understand that the civilization on the intruding spacecraft is stronger than both of them.
Later, they all received messages from the black spacecraft.
Of course, the information content can still be translated out of the metaverse.
After all, outside the metaverse, high-level civilizations all use this language, and there is no restriction on the spread of this language.
Therefore, no one will take the initiative to learn from any civilization that they have the opportunity to come into contact with.
However, when the content of the received message was translated, everyone was dumbfounded!
What is an unprovoked attack?
Are you deliberately looking for trouble?
It's obvious that you didn't have eyesight and took the initiative to break into our war, okay?
As long as you have eyes and are in such an empty space outside the metaverse, you can know in advance that there are civilizations fighting here from dozens of astronomical units away.
At this moment, the two civilizations are more inclined to think that the other side is looking for trouble.
Then judge the strength of the opponent's civilization based on the hardness of the opponent's spacecraft.
It is even less likely to happen that they accidentally enter the center of their battle.
Therefore, the other party must be looking for trouble.
However, even if they all concluded this, there was nothing they could do.
Because, since the other party dares to touch them and find trouble with them, they must be confident to eat them all.
The tough tone in the other party's message also conveyed the harsh words that no one of them could even think of leaving.
This proves even more that the other party does not take them seriously at all.
For this purpose, they no longer care about any grudges and conflicts.
After receiving the information, both sides chose a temporary ceasefire.
Moreover, one of the civilizations immediately responded to the past.
"Dear unknown civilization, we are XX civilization..."
"Please forgive us for our unintentional attack on you. It is indeed our fault for not noticing you passing here in advance..."
"For this reason, we are willing to pay all compensation within our capabilities. We only hope that you can be noble..."
In the message content of this civilized reply, the attitude is very low.
Even if they know that the other party is deliberately looking for trouble, they still take all the responsibility on themselves.
There is nothing that can be done about it. There is no reason to argue between low-level civilization and civilized civilization.
Anyway, whoever is stronger is right.
No matter where it is, the universe is never a good place.
Since lower-level civilizations can survive and develop in this environment outside the Yuanverse, they naturally have their own ways of survival.
Just like groveling at this moment is a required course.
This is undoubtedly a good way to survive when encountering a civilization that is stronger than one's own.
"Dear unknown civilization, we are the "mayfly" civilization..."
Zhang Heng on the small Blackwater is also reading the reply message from this civilization.
The name of this civilization, translated into Chinese, is called "Ephemera" civilization.
At the beginning of the message, there is a simple self-introduction of this ephemera civilization.
Speaking of which, it is a very unique and tenacious civilization.
It can be said to be a miracle that they can develop to this day.
They are not native civilizations outside the metaverse. They also came out of a certain metaverse probably more than ten thousand years ago.
It’s just that this metaverse is not the Pangu metaverse.
Their life forms and shapes can be roughly summarized like this;
Life and death can be said to be them, and a flash in the pan can also be said to be them.
That is, their lifespan is very short.
Compared with them, human beings' so-called life span of only a hundred years at most can be called immortality.
Each individual in the mayfly civilization only has a life span of less than ten years.
This is the result of more than 20,000 years of development!
At the most primitive stage of their lives, some individuals could only last a few days, or at most a few months.
They are also an aquatic species, born on a planet where liquid water covers more than 76% of the area.
When they are born, they come from the bottom of the water, and when they leave, they return to the surface.
When they are young, they lie dormant in the water. After half of their life cycle, they undergo arduous transformation until they can reach the water and emerge with wings.
This moment is also the time for them to bloom and soar freely in the sky.
While flying, they are also consuming the energy accumulated in their bodies.
When the energy is exhausted, their bodies fall back to the surface.
At the same time, their bodies also carry the eggs of their offspring.
These eggs were bred when they bloomed themselves.
When the body slowly sinks to the bottom of the water, it will be the beginning of another life cycle...
After reading the introduction to the origin of life of the ephemera civilization, Zhang Heng finally understood why it was translated into Chinese as ephemera.
Their life forms are indeed somewhat similar to mayflies.
Essentially, they are all insect species, and they all have similar life cycles.
If we have to give a definition to this type of civilization, it can only be called Zerg civilization.
Mayfly Civilization's simple self-introduction also successfully aroused Zhang Heng's interest.
To be honest, he was indeed very curious about what method the ephemeral civilization used to develop to the current stage despite such a short life cycle.
According to the law that most life in the universe develops to the civilization stage, the longer a life is, the more likely it is to develop to the civilization stage.
The reason is also very simple. After all, the brain development of most primitive life forms is just that, not very developed.
This means that the longer you live, the more time you have to learn.
Just like human beings, every great scientist only achieves his blockbuster success after decades of study and accumulation.
Geniuses are only a handful,
Moreover, no matter how talented you are, you still have to go through a certain stage of learning and accumulation.
It's absolutely impossible to be born knowing that this is the case.
And with a short life span, there is not so much time to consider other things.
During their lifetimes, some can even be so miserable that they must race against time to reproduce, otherwise they will simply become extinct.
In this case, do you think they still have time to think about what development is and what civilization is?
Therefore, Zhang Heng feels that the mayfly civilization is a miracle.
Even if the overall lifespan of mayfly civilization is considered outstanding among short-lived species, it is still a miracle.
Now it has been developed for more than 20,000 years, and its lifespan still cannot exceed ten years.
If this were placed in human civilization, at most one could complete a nine-year compulsory teaching, and there would be no chance to study again later, and he would simply burp in place.
However, when Zhang Heng wanted to continue reading, he found that it was gone...
Those following are all compliments to him.
"This is another tenacious civilization with great potential!"
After Zhang Heng completely read the message, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If what is expected is correct, the issue that is currently most troubling the mayfly civilization is its lifespan.
As long as the life span limit is broken, the mayfly civilization will definitely usher in an unprecedented technological explosion and be promoted to the ranks of advanced civilizations.
After waiting for a while, I saw that another civilization that was at war with the Mayfly Civilization was not as knowledgeable as the Mayfly Civilization, and it did not reply to any message.
Therefore, Zhang Heng decided to contact the Mayfly Civilization first.
"Dear Mayfly Civilization, I am the Enlightener. You can also call me the Enlightener Civilization..."
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Since the other person was so polite, Zhang Heng responded politely: "I have also felt your sincerity. I am not unforgivable for your intentional or unintentional attacks..."
"If you can indeed compensate and meet all my needs within your capabilities, as you said, I can forget about it."
"Of course, I won't make any demands that are too excessive for you. You just need to answer some questions from me."
"If your answer satisfies me, I don't recommend giving you some small suggestions on the issues that have troubled you for a long time..."
At the end of the reply message, Zhang Heng also dropped the bait and said.
Give a candy to a stick. Although this method is very crude, it sometimes works really well.
The stronger party can always gain greater benefits and better control the other party.
Sure enough, not long after Zhang Heng sent his reply, Mayfly Civilization replied again.
Said that they are very willing to accept Zhang Heng's solution to the problem.
"Dear Enlightenment Civilization, we can send a diplomatic team to your spacecraft for discussions."
"Or you can come over to our spaceship, both are fine. Which method do you prefer?"
The higher-ups in Mayfly Civilization also decided on two negotiation plans and asked Zhang Hengdao.
"I'll go over and ask your reception spacecraft to give a signal light, and also ask you to tell other combat units not to try to attack me again, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences..."
Zhang Heng is still interested in the history of their civilization development, and of course he will not miss the opportunity to get to know them up close.
After replying to this message, he directly drove the small Blackwater towards the fleet of the Mayfly Civilization.
The movement of the small Blackwater immediately attracted the attention of another civilization.
In their fleet group, on an inconspicuous spaceship, several species with black bodies and yellow backs, similar to crustacean creatures, were gathering together to discuss.
These black and yellow carapace creatures are the top leaders of this civilization.
"The spaceship of an unknown advanced civilization is now approaching the fleet of flying insects. Do you think the advanced civilization wants to destroy them directly, or does it have other plans?"
One of the senior executives spoke first and asked other senior executives.
The mayfly civilization identifies them as "flying insects".
"I think there is another motive. The sudden intrusion of a spaceship from a higher civilization into the center of our battlefield means that it has a motive."
"Neither we nor the group of flying insects could discover in advance when that advanced civilization appeared in this area. It also proves that the technological strength of that advanced civilization is absolutely unimaginable to us."
"If that advanced civilization just wants to eliminate us, there is no need to go to such trouble. It can just quietly deal with us in the dark..."
"So, not only those flying insects are the target of higher civilizations, but we are probably too."
Another senior executive then spoke.
It felt that after the other party finished looking for the Mayfly Civilization, they would definitely turn around and look for them.
"Then should we take advantage of the advanced civilization that is causing trouble for those flying insects and escape directly?"
At this time, another senior executive suggested.
However, it was quickly rejected unanimously.
Because they doubt that the unknown advanced civilization has the ability to travel at the speed of light.
In this case, they can't escape no matter what.
At this point, we can only see how that higher civilization will deal with the mayfly civilization.
If something unexpected happens to the mayfly civilization, it will not be too late for them to try to escape.
On the other side, Zhang Heng drove the small Blackwater and completely entered the fleet of the Mayfly Civilization.
Each spaceship in the fleet group also has the characteristics of the Mayfly civilization, and is basically built according to the appearance of their own bodies.
After all, they are originally a species that can fly, and they were used to flying with such bodies when they lived on the primitive planet.
Therefore, even after they have developed to the point where they can sail in space, their spacecraft still adopts such a unique structure.
When Zhang Heng boarded their reception spacecraft, he finally saw their appearance.
how to say!
It looks a bit like a dragonfly, a larger version.
The length ranges from one meter to one and a half meters, but the height is only as high as Zhang Heng's waist.
They also have six legs, just like the thick legs of a mantis, supporting the body with strange proportions of legs and body.
Furthermore, there are two big eyes that protrude directly.
Yes, their eyes are on their heads, and their two big eyes can almost cover their heads.
However, no matter how strange their looks and appearance were, Zhang Heng would not find it strange.
Because Zhang Heng has seen many strange creatures than them.
"Dear initiate, welcome to your arrival..."
From the neatly arranged group of dragonflies, a dragonfly that looked the same as any other suddenly crawled out, and suddenly spoke to Zhang Heng in cosmic Mandarin: "I am Tesla, and I am also the foreign minister of the Mayfly Civilization responsible for receiving you this time. .”
"Please forgive our ignorance again. We have never been exposed to civilization and life similar to yours in the past. We don't know what etiquette and method to use to receive you..."
Tesla’s attitude is even lower than that of Mayfly Civilization in replying to messages.
Obviously, they seem to know what "the" means.
But any civilization with this "person" in it, even the previous Nirag had to respect, let alone them.
