From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 289 Mayfly Civilization
Zhang Heng's blatant act of provoking others immediately shocked the two warring civilizations into stopping fighting.

The defensive capabilities of these two civilizations are not enough to defend against their own strike weapons.

Suddenly, black spaceships broke into the battlefield, but they could be easily resolved.

Obviously, anyone who is not stupid can immediately understand that the civilization on the intruding spaceship is stronger than both of them.

Afterwards, they all received messages sent from the black spaceship.

As for the information content, they, who are outside the metaverse, can of course still translate it.

After all, outside the metaverse, high-level civilizations all use this language and do not restrict its spread.

Therefore, no one will fail to take the initiative to learn from any civilization that they have the opportunity to come into contact with.

However, after translating the content of the received message, everyone was dumbfounded!
What is an unprovoked attack?

Are you deliberately looking for trouble?
It's obviously you who didn't have eyes and took the initiative to intrude into our war, okay?

As long as you have eyes, in such a vast space outside the metaverse, you can know in advance that there are civilizations fighting each other dozens of astronomical units away.

At this moment, both civilizations are more inclined to believe that the other party is just 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 that you would accidentally enter the center of their battle.

So, the other party must be here to cause trouble.

However, even if they all determined this, they could do nothing about it.

Because, since the other party dares to challenge them and pick a fight with them, they must be confident that they can eat them all.

The tough tone in the other party's message also conveyed the harsh message that no one would be able to leave.

This further proves that the other party does not take them seriously at all.

For now, they no longer care about any grudges or conflicts.

After receiving the information, both sides chose to temporarily cease fire.

Moreover, one of the civilizations immediately returned to the past.

"Dear unknown civilization, we are the XX civilization..."

"Please forgive us for our unintentional attack on you. It is indeed our fault that we did not notice you passing by here in advance..."

"For this, we are willing to pay all the compensation within our ability, and we only hope that you can show some mercy..."

The attitude in this civilized reply message is very humble.

Even if they know that the other party is deliberately looking for trouble, they still take all the responsibility on themselves.

There is nothing we can do about it. There is no logic to talk about between low-level civilizations and civilized civilizations.

Anyway, whoever is stronger is right.

No matter where the universe is, it is never a good place.

Since lower-level civilizations can survive and develop in an environment outside the metaverse, they naturally have their own ways of survival.

Just like the servility at this moment is a compulsory course.

When encountering a civilization stronger than your own, this is undoubtedly a good way to survive.

"Dear unknown civilization, we are the "Mayfly" civilization..."

Zhang Heng on the small Blackwater was also reading the reply from this civilization.

The name of this civilization, translated into Chinese, is called "Mayfly" civilization.

At the beginning of the message, there is a brief self-introduction of this mayfly civilization.

Actually, it is a very unique and tenacious civilization.

It can be said to be a miracle that they have developed to this day.

They are not a civilization native to outside the metaverse. About ten thousand years ago, they also came out of a certain metaverse.

But this metaverse is not the Pangu metaverse.

Their life forms, as well as their morphology, can be roughly summarized as follows;

They can be said to be born in the morning and die in the evening, and they can also be said to be short-lived.

That is, their life span is very short.

Compared with them, humans' lifespan of no more than a hundred years can be considered longevity.

Every individual in the mayfly civilization has a lifespan of only ten years.

This is the result of more than 20,000 years of development!
In the most primitive stage of their lives, some individuals could only live for a few days, and at most a few months.

They are also an aquatic species, born on a planet where liquid water covers more than 76% of the surface.

When they are alive, they come from the bottom of the water, and when they die, they return to the surface.

When they are young, they lie dormant in the water, and go through a difficult metamorphosis halfway through their life cycle until they can reach the surface of the water and then sprout wings.

This moment is also the time for them to bloom and fly freely in the sky.

While flying, they are also consuming the energy stored in their bodies.

When their energy is exhausted, their bodies fall back to the surface of the water.

At the same time, their bodies also carry the eggs of their offspring.

These eggs are bred when they bloom.

When the body slowly sinks to the bottom of the water, it will be the beginning of a new life cycle...

After reading the introduction to the origin of life of the mayfly civilization, Zhang Heng finally understood why it was translated into Chinese as mayfly.

Their life forms are indeed somewhat similar to those of mayflies.

Essentially, they are all insect species, and have similar life cycles.

If we have to give a definition to this type of civilization, it can only be called Zerg civilization.

The simple self-introduction of the Mayfly Civilization also successfully aroused Zhang Heng's interest.

To be honest, he was really curious about what methods the mayfly civilization used to develop to its current stage despite having such a short life cycle.

According to the law that most life in the universe develops to the civilized stage, the longer the life, the more likely it is to develop to the civilized stage.

The reason is very simple. After all, the brain development of most primitive life forms is just so-so and cannot be considered very advanced.

This means that the longer you live, the more time you have for acquired learning.

Just like human beings, every great scientist has to go through decades of learning and accumulation before they can achieve their stunning success.

Geniuses are only a minority.

Moreover, no matter how talented one is, one still has to go through a certain stage of learning and accumulation.

It is absolutely impossible for someone to be born with knowledge.

However, creatures with a short lifespan don’t have that much time to think about other things. Some of them are even so miserable that they have to race against time to reproduce, otherwise they will become extinct.

In this situation, do you think they still have time to think about what development and civilization are?
Therefore, Zhang Heng thinks that the mayfly civilization is a miracle.

Even if the overall lifespan of mayfly civilization is among the best among short-lived species, it is still a miracle.

Even after more than 20,000 years of development, its lifespan still does not exceed ten years.

If this happened in human civilization, at best one would be able to complete nine years of compulsory education, and there would be no chance to learn further afterwards, and one would simply die on the spot.

However, when Zhang Heng wanted to continue reading, he found that it was gone...

The following words are all compliments to him.

"This is another tenacious civilization with great potential!"

After Zhang Heng finished reading the message, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If my guess is correct, the issue that currently bothers the mayfly civilization the most is the issue of lifespan.

As long as the limitation of lifespan is broken through, the mayfly civilization will definitely usher in an unprecedented technological explosion and leap into the ranks of advanced civilizations.

After waiting for a while, I saw that the other civilization that was fighting with the Mayfly Civilization was not as tactful as the Mayfly Civilization and did not respond to any message.

So, Zhang Heng decided to contact the mayfly civilization first.

"Respected Mayfly Civilization, I am the Enlightener. You can also call me the Enlightener Civilization..."

Don't hit a smiling person. Since the other party was so polite, Zhang Heng also politely replied: "I have already felt your sincerity. I can forgive your intentional or unintentional attack..."

"If you can really compensate and meet all my needs within your ability as you said, I can forgive you for what happened."

"Of course, I won't ask you anything that is excessive. You just need to answer some questions for me."

"If your answers can satisfy me, I would also like to give you a little advice on the problem that has troubled you for a long time..."

At the end of the reply message, Zhang Heng also threw out a bait.

Giving someone a candy after hitting him with a stick, although this method is very low-level, it is sometimes very useful.

The stronger party can always gain greater benefits and better control the other party.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Heng sent out his reply, the Mayfly Civilization also responded again.

They said that they were very willing to accept the solution to the problem proposed by Zhang Heng.

"Dear Enlightened Civilization, we can send a diplomatic team to your spaceship for negotiations."

"Or you can come to our spaceship, both are fine. Which way do you prefer?"

The top leaders of the Mayfly Civilization also decided on two negotiation plans and asked Zhang Hengdao.

"I'll go over there. Please ask your receiving spacecraft to give a signal light. Please also tell other combat units not to try to attack me again. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves..."

Zhang Heng is still interested in the history of their civilization development and will certainly not miss the opportunity to get to know them up close.

After replying to this message, he drove the small Blackwater directly towards the fleet of the Mayfly Civilization.

The movement of the small Blackwater immediately attracted the attention of another civilization.

In their fleet, on an inconspicuous spaceship, several crustacean-like creatures with black bodies and yellow backs were gathered together to discuss.

These black and yellow crustaceans are the upper echelons of this civilization.

"The spaceships of an unknown advanced civilization are now approaching the fleet of flying insects. Do you think the advanced civilization wants to destroy them directly, or does it have other intentions?"

One of the senior executives spoke first and asked the other senior executives.

Mayflies are scornfully called "flying insects".

"I think they have other intentions. The sudden intrusion of a spaceship from an advanced civilization into the center of our battlefield itself means they have other intentions."

"Neither we nor the group of flying insects could discover in advance when that advanced civilization appeared in this area, which also proves that the technological strength of that advanced civilization is absolutely beyond our imagination."

"If that advanced civilization just wanted to destroy us, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. They could just quietly get rid of us in the dark..."

"So, not only those flying insects are the target of advanced civilizations, we are probably also."

Another senior executive spoke next.

It felt that after finding the mayfly civilization, the other party would definitely turn around and look for them.

"Then should we just flee while the advanced civilization is looking for trouble with those flying insects?"

At this time, another senior executive made a suggestion.

However, it was quickly rejected by all.

Because they suspect that the unknown advanced civilization has the ability to travel at the speed of light.

In this case, they won't be able to escape no matter what.

At this point, we can only wait and see how the advanced civilization will deal with the mayfly civilization.

If the mayfly civilization encounters an accident, it will not be too late for them to try to escape.

On the other side, Zhang Heng, driving the small Black Water, also completely entered the fleet of the Mayfly civilization.

Each spaceship in the fleet also has characteristics of mayfly civilization, and are basically built according to the appearance of their original bodies.

After all, they are a species that can fly, and when they lived on the primitive planet, they were accustomed to flying with such a body.

Therefore, even when they have developed to the point where they can travel in space, their spacecraft still use this unique structure.

When Zhang Heng boarded their reception spacecraft, he finally saw what they looked like.

how to say!

It looks a bit like a dragonfly, or a larger version of it.

His height ranged from one to one and a half meters, but his height only reached Zhang Heng's waist.

They also have six legs, just like the sturdy legs of a mantis, supporting a body with strange proportions between legs and body.

The next thing is the two big eyes that are directly protruding.

That’s right, their eyes are on their heads, and the two big eyes almost cover their heads.

However, no matter how strange their looks and appearances were, Zhang Heng would not find them strange.

Because Zhang Heng has seen many creatures that are even stranger than these.

"Dear Enlightener, welcome..."

Suddenly, a dragonfly that looked identical to the others crawled out from the neatly arranged group of dragonflies. It spoke to Zhang Heng in the official language of the universe, "I am Tesla, and I am also the Foreign Minister of the Mayfly Civilization who is in charge of receiving you this time."

"Please forgive our ignorance once again. We have never come into contact with civilizations and lives of your form before. We don't know what etiquette and method we should use to receive you..."

Tesla's attitude is even lower than that of the Mayfly civilization in its reply message.

Obviously, they also seem to know what "者" means.

Any civilization with the word "zer" in its name must be respected by even the previous Nirag, let alone them.
