Chapter 1189: Meeting
After discovering the messenger who came to the central galaxy, Zhang Xiaogang immediately contacted Beiya and Beiyang.
Meeting the leader of the Trulli people, the emissary sent by Abaca, Zhang Xiaogang learned more about this unique intelligent civilization.
The strong survival ability of the Trulli people is not only reflected in the unique way of reproduction and the cultural concepts generated by this mode of reproduction, but also related to the ability to adapt to the environment, especially to the enemy. That said, the Trulli don't seem to care much about keeping their physical form.
In front of Zhang Xiaogang, Bei Ya and Bei Yang, there is a Trulli man with a human body form.
Obviously, the Trulli will change their physical form when facing different opponents, and they will often transform themselves into the physical form of their opponents.
It's not just about respecting your opponent, it's about getting to know your opponent.
Although for super soldiers, the influence of body form on combat effectiveness is not obvious, the main thing is that the battle between super soldiers has little to do with fighting, and in battles with the legion as the basic unit, the individual combat ability of super soldiers is not important at all. However, the physical form has a great impact on an intelligent civilization, and even determines the most basic cultural concept of an intelligent civilization. The cultural concept of a wise civilization has a direct impact on the thinking of super soldiers, and thinking is one of the main factors that determine the combat effectiveness of super soldiers. For example, in the universe, the orientation is actually unimportant, especially in the battle against a certain star system, the impact of the orientation is not obvious, and the human super soldiers are affected by their own form and care very much about the direction, so when the human army is fighting, it will always deploy troops according to the battlefield environment and the direction.
Of course, Zhang Xiaogang and they know what the Trulli people look like.
In physical form, the Trulli bear little resemblance to humans. For example, the Trulli people did not have the sensory organs of humans at all, and their eyes, ears, and nose had long since deteriorated. Because after entering the stage of self-evolution, there is no longer a need to obtain the energy and substances needed for growth through food, and there is no even the problem of growth, so the digestive organs of the Trulli people have all degenerated. For the Trulli people, the only way to perceive the outside world is consciousness. In order to adapt to different living environments, the Trulli people will evolve different body forms according to their needs. In a sense, the Trulli people are always evolving, and they are evolving as needed.
Looking at the Trulli man in front of him, Zhang Xiaogang had a very strange idea.
That is, among the human beings, are there any trulli people lurking? Perhaps, there is no human being, after all, the human race has been fully militarized, and all individuals are either legion commanders or super soldiers, and even if the Trulli people try to infiltrate the human race, they may not have a chance. What's more, the full militarization of humanity was done at war with the Trulli people, even before they came to their new homeland, and the Trulli people didn't even know that there were humans in the three-dimensional space, so there was no reason to infiltrate them.
The question is, what about the other intelligent civilizations in the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations?
It is important to know that even the Akula began to fully militarize after arriving in their new homeland, and the Elama were fully militarized even later.
If the Trulli people had discovered the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations a long time ago, even if they did not take the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations into account, it would have been possible to infiltrate the Akula, Elamite, or other intelligent civilizations, allowing some individuals to lurk in these intelligent civilizations.
Thinking of this question, Zhang Xiaogang was a little big.
Obviously, it is impossible for him to screen every individual in the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations one by one, and it is unlikely that he will find the Trulli people who are lurking.
Both sides were silent, but there was an exchange of consciousness going on.
It is a necessary process in which both parties need to become familiar with each other's communication styles.
Although in the previous war, the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations had already learned about the Trulli people, and the Trulli people also learned about the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations when they fought back, the communication methods of the Trulli people were very special, and it took some time to get to know each other.
"You are the leaders of the Alliance of Wise Civilizations?" The Trulli broke the silence and used conscious communication, albeit still in human language.
"Yes, we all are, but he is the Supreme Leader." Without waiting for Zhang Xiaogang to speak, Bei Ya preemptively answered, and deliberately emphasized Zhang Xiaogang's identity.
The Trulli people turned their eyes to Zhang Xiaogang and said, "Hello, my name is Esinger, the leader of the Trulli people. ”
Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly and said his name, but did not reveal more information.
"You are the supreme leader of the Alliance of Wisdom and Civilization?"
"What, do you think there's a problem?" Bea was visibly impatient.
Zhang Xiaogang still didn't speak, because he had already heard it, and Issinger's question itself had an extremely profound meaning.
"This makes me a little strange, because as far as I know, the leader of the Wisdom Civilization Alliance is a person named Chu Tianjiang."
Beya was slightly stunned, and she didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xiaogang sighed secretly and said, "Isinger, if I'm not mistaken, you are definitely not the only leader of the Trulli people. ”
"That's right, I am the seventeenth thousand eight hundred and thirty-second leader of the Trulli people, and I am also the direct descendant of the first leader of the Trulli people."
"Obviously, that's my answer."
"Your answer?"
Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "There is no doubt that before you came to us, you must have done an investigation on the Alliance of Wisdom Civilizations, and you also know that in the Alliance of Wisdom Civilizations, humans are the dominant force, and the Akula and Elamites also play an extremely important role." Then, if you know about human beings, you will know the Tao, and human beings will inherit the tradition, and the inheritance of human beings may not be related to blood. ”
"So, you replaced Chu Tianjiang?"
"It's not a replacement."
"What's that?"
Zhang Xiaogang was a little speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Isenger, are you here to negotiate with us, or are you here to get to the bottom of it?" Beyan spoke. "The fact that the three of us are here is enough to prove that we are qualified to negotiate with you on behalf of the entire Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. Of course, if you can't talk to us, then someone else. ”
Isenger turned his gaze to Beyang.
Bei Yang wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Isinger, you have come to us, apparently to end the war with us. What's more, this is only the first step, not the end goal. Zhang Xiaogang did not let the situation worsen and immediately changed the topic. Obviously, it's not that you're willing to negotiate with us. Although I don't know the Trulli people very well, I do know that with the strong war power of the Trulli people, it will not be difficult to defeat us at all. ”
Issinger didn't speak, but he didn't refute either.
"Obviously, it was Abaka who came to negotiate with us at this time. So, why don't you state Abaka's purpose? ”
"You're smart."
Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "This is not called smart, we have all guessed your intentions, I just don't want to waste time." ”
"Obviously, time is precious to us."
"That's right, time is the most precious thing, at least in the three-dimensional space, time is irreversible, so we have to cherish time." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "There is no doubt that time is more precious for the Trulli people and for Abaca. ”
"Really?"
"Your arrival is a testament to that. The Trulli people are strong enough, let alone defeat the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations, even if it is to destroy us, it will not be difficult. The thing is, we're not weak, and we're definitely not going to sit still. Even if we can't defeat the Trulli, we will resist, and we will hold out to survive until the end. If the war continues, even if the Trulli can win and destroy us once and for all, it will take a lot of time, and what you lack now is time. ”
Eisinger didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Xiaogang.
"Obviously, Abaka sent you here in the hope of saving time in some way, and this way is definitely not just a truce with us." After saying this, Zhang Xiaogang didn't say anything more. The topic has been picked out, and it is time for Issinger to take a stand.
Isinger hesitated for a moment before he said, "You're right, I'm not just here to make a truce with the Alliance of Wise Civilizations. In fact, the war between us had stopped before that, at least the Trulli had stopped attacking the star systems you control. ”
"We didn't go on the offensive either."
"Now that the war is over, what we need to do now is not to negotiate a truce, but to do something more meaningful."
"What makes more sense?"
Isinger looked at Zhang Xiaogang and said, "I have long known that you are a very smart person and have a lot of vision, it is impossible for you not to understand what I mean." ”
"It's one thing to understand, it's another to say it directly."
"Does it make a difference?"
"Perhaps, for the Trulli people, there is no difference between the two, but for us, there is a big difference, at least our main means of communication is not consciousness."
"That's true, and that's what makes humans unique."
Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "So, can you tell me now?" ”
"I came to you to negotiate an alliance with you, as Abaka instructed."
Although they had already thought of it, and knew that this was an inevitable result, when Esinger said it directly, Zhang Xiaogang and the others still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
