This is an encounter between people, and it is also an encounter between civilizations.

This encounter may be inconspicuous in the Sea of Demon Gods, but it is indeed the first time for a human being.

Zhang Ming, one step ahead, has contact with the intelligent civilization outside the territory!

One step ahead of the earthlings! There is still some joy in my heart!

Of course, the previous group of monkeys doesn't count. The three-tailed monkey is a primitive tribe at best, they are too weak to be of much contact value to humans.

But the civilization in front of him is different, the other party has a serious scientific and technological system, and the glimpse of the steel giant ship means that the other party's technology is not weak.

Faced with this historical-level scene, Zhang Ming's heart was pounding, thinking about whether he should say hello, shake hands or bow or something? There must be some etiquette, right?

The two stocky humanoids were wearing gilded gold fully enclosed protective suits, but they couldn't see their exact appearances, they were only about 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, and the width of their shoulders was about the same as their height.

Although the current environment is very harsh......

Although, the other party seems to be a little trembling......

"Meeting is fate, first ask them if they know some information, and then find a way to cooperate further."

Zhang Ming thinks that he is a very gentle and good person.

Never bully, the little help you can help will basically help!

Never destroy the ecological environment, after all, it is the virtue of God to live a good life, even if you encounter particularly precious natural resources, you will not take them all.

Zhang Ming quickly remembered something, and suddenly scooped some water from the water tank and washed his face.

This face covered with "irregular paint" is like a monster, and it is really impossible to see guests!

……

Gondor swallowed a mouthful of saliva and watched as the other party washed his face.

He knew that the other party's face was coated with "irregular minerals", which could effectively prevent the erosion of green fire, and such a precious thing was washed like this?

"Admiral, Admiral!" A companion's voice came from the headphones, "With the protection of the Source of the World, even if you take off your helmet, it's nothing." ”

Gondor vaguely understood what the transcendent meant - I washed all the paint that was so precious, you can't continue to wear a helmet!

Stiffly, he pressed a button on his clothes, and with a soft "snort", he took off the helmet on his head.

……

The humanoid creature in front of him was very strong, with well-defined facial muscles and slightly wrinkles, two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a fiery red hair and beard.

It has to be said that their beard is very distinctive, like a twisted braid, which hangs down to the position of the chest.

Zhang Ming felt that this guy looked a bit like the "dwarf" in the fantasy story, so he carefully selected a stool for the other party to sit down.

This stool was no ordinary thing, but a trophy he had made out of the carapace of a powerful monster after hunting it!

"Oops......"

But the moment Zhang Ming handed the carapace stool out, he faintly regretted it.

Because that carapace stool is used by Xiaobai for cultivation!

The anger on the stool will constantly interfere with Xiaobai's consciousness, so sitting on this stool can constantly temper his mental resistance.

Of course, this kind of interference was of little use to Zhang Ming, so over time, he forgot about it!

But Zhang Ming was embarrassed to speak, because this bearded man was already sitting on the carapace stool, his face was a little serious and a little dazed, and his eyes looked at the surrounding environment from time to time.

……

"What is this, dismount? Or is it something else......"

Gondor knew that there was something wrong with this stool, and from the first time he got his hands on it, he knew that it was the body material of some powerful creature.

Honggang civilization, as a civilization specializing in the forging of strange things, has very detailed information, and as a "commander", he can identify the rarity level of this material at a glance, which is probably a "third-level" material, which is quite good.

But there is no way, the transcendent who is in a state of half-madness asks him to sit, and he must sit!

Once you anger this transcendent, the consequences are ...... Disastrous.

At that time, not only will he die, but the ship behind him, the tens of thousands of crew members, will also lose the chance to live.

Without hesitation, Gondor moved the stool under his ass.

A frenzied anger surged up from the tail vertebrae, this level of mental pressure was not too strong, and it was quite acceptable.

Gondor endured the feeling of a pinprick in his buttocks, and talked to Zhang Ming with trepidation, he covered his chest with one palm, and bowed his head slightly: "Hello, Your Excellency the Distinguished Transcendent. We are the ocean-going expedition of the Honggang civilization, and the purpose of this expedition is to visit the peak civilization that killed the demon god. ”

"It's just unfortunate that our steamship was swallowed up by the 'abyss', and 12,000 people were trapped here."

"We are currently sheltered by the source of the world, and our lives are safe, but we can't hold out for long."

Gondor didn't play any tricks, the transcendent seemed to be in a state of consciousness at the moment, and there was a stone helping to translate, which was already the best result.

He was even more worried that the other party would suddenly fall into madness, and even if he played a hundred or a thousand hearts, it would be meaningless.

So they quickly introduced themselves, described the difficulties they were encountering, and appropriately put forward a small request: their fleet, they wanted, some irregular minerals......

"Under the shelter of the source of the world, we were able to hold out for a while......"

"Once the source of the world is depleted, the green fire of the outside world will consume our ship."

……

Zhang Ming fell into deep thought, the content described by this bearded man was very informative.

What is the pinnacle civilization...... Azurite civilization?!

But the Aquamarine Civilization is gone!

Seeing that the other party was sitting on the stool safely, with a needle prick in his ass, Zhang Ming wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke, "A few guests from afar, it is no problem for me to help you salvage irregular minerals, but what do I gain?" ”

Although he has an entire random mineral in the heart of the demon god...... Bigger than a mountain.

But I have to say that the so-called "irregular minerals" are also distinguished by grades!

Just like various materials in materials science, iron, as the most common metal, is widely used in various occasions; But iron is defective and prone to rust and aging, and that's when stronger steel is born; However, in some special occasions, such as aircraft engines and rocket engines, the strength of steel is still not enough, and more expensive alloys appear.

If alloys are still not enough, graphene and carbon nanotubes are born.

His Demon God Heart is naturally the highest level of "irregular" material, and it is impossible to give it to this group of Honggang people for no reason, and from a security point of view, it is impossible for him to trade it.

So Zhang Ming plans to really fish a piece out of the water, instead of using his demon god heart!

……

"What's the catch for me?"

Seeing this transcendent being so easy to speak, Gondor was overjoyed!

Even Rhenium, who was eavesdropping outside the room, couldn't help but hold his breath, and a trace of desire to survive was in his heart!

But for a while, they really couldn't think of anything particularly good that could make the hearts of the transcendents excited.

Suddenly, Gondor thought of something, clapped his hands vigorously, and said loudly, "Fountain of Life!" A fountain of life in our cabin, a gift to the pinnacle of civilization, will effectively lift your spirits! to reduce the ...... of mental madness"

"Ahem!"

Gondor swallowed, and in order to reduce the irritation, he didn't say any more: "This fountain of life comes from the green tree civilization, even if ordinary creatures drink it, it can increase the lifespan by a small amount, 10 to 20 years......"

"It's just a pity that three hundred years ago, we got the news that the world of the Green Tree Civilization may have been destroyed by a certain world hunter. Therefore, this fountain of life is likely to be the only product in the world. ”

Zhang Ming frowned slightly, is it useful to increase the spiritual value?

I'm in good spirits!

But something that can increase lifespan is indeed a good thing, whether it is his family, or an aging dog, or an earth research institute far away, he needs to have one.

But no matter how you think about it, this point is still too little.

Irregular minerals, in any civilization are worth a thousand gold!

The Azurite civilization recorded in its own archives that with such a history of thousands of years, they found 192.2 tons of irregular minerals, less than 200 tons!

And the craftsman of the Yanjiao civilization, "Gongjizi", sighs all day long, if there are more irregular minerals, his craftsmanship will definitely be able to go to the next level!

So let's not say that this is a life-saving job, just these minerals are sold in the outside world, and there is more than the price of a fountain of life!

Seeing that the other party's brows furrowed and he didn't speak, Gondor's mood was extremely nervous.

He also knew that the reward he proposed was not proportional, but this "fountain of life" should be what the other party urgently needed......

The liaison in his arms "buzzed" a few times, and it was the "rhenium" waiting outside that sent some information.

Wait a minute!

Gondor suddenly found himself in ...... Blackmail a transcendent?

Is it because the other party's mental state is not very good, so he wants to use a fountain of life to squeeze labor?

Obviously, this is an offense!

All of a sudden, cold sweat broke out all over my body!

Gondor gritted his teeth, and hurriedly wanted to make amends: "Respectful...... Your Excellency, we are a civilization that excels at forging strange things...... We have a very long history and have been in contact with many civilizations......"

"If you're interested, you can head over to our cabin and pick the right pay."

Standing outside the room, "Rhenium" was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say, "Admiral!!" ”
