Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 218 You are just insects

Meanwhile, Centaurus.

The news of Wade's broadcast had not yet reached the Trisolarans. At this time, the Trisolarans were still immersed in the promises made to them by the Carbon-based Federation.

The Kana people, who are poised to become their sovereign civilization, recently sent envoys to have an in-depth exchange with the Trisolaran leader, where they discussed the details of some terms.

The envoy in charge of this coordination was named Zeko. His position among the Kana people was not high; if compared to a position in human society, he would be about the level of a department head.

This is quite reasonable, as the Trisolaran civilization was not the only lower-level civilization that was incorporated into the Kana race. Therefore, the Kana race's attitude towards the Trisolaran civilization was rather casual, and they did not take a Level 2 civilization too seriously.

As for the Trisolarans' belief that they also have the potential to become a Type 3 civilization and should not be merely accepted as a subordinate civilization by the Kana people, Zeko just smiled, saying it was as absurd as a primary school student considering whether to apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future.

The gap between a Type 2 civilization and a Type 3 civilization cannot be bridged simply by the passage of time.

Type 3 civilizations are also known as star cluster-level civilizations. The problem of the three suns that has troubled the Trisolarans for hundreds of years is nothing to a Type 3 civilization. They may destroy life in one or two star systems every day, perhaps simply because they don't want to take a detour.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Kana people, the Trisolaran civilization was nothing more than some interesting little pets, the only difference being that their civilization was quite unique.

But it's quite ridiculous for a pet to think that its owner isn't strong enough.

In this world, it's always been the pets that get chosen, not the other way around for the pets to select their masters.

The Devourer Civilization serves as a prime example; their meteoric rise to prominence was solely due to their alignment with the Carbon-Based Federation.

This is also the main reason why the Trisolarans had a misconception.

Because the Devourers had fought against the Trisolaran civilization before, the Trisolaran civilization did not actually take the Devourers civilization very seriously.

It's like when your old, simple-minded buddy from the same village suddenly becomes incredibly successful, you subconsciously still think of him as that snotty-nosed idiot who used to eat spicy snacks, and you think to yourself, "If you can even be interested in this kind of idiot, then the owner of this idiot must not be anyone important."

In reality, the Devourer civilization's technology has long surpassed that of the Trisolarans, which is why the Devourers didn't get involved even when the Trisolarans and Earth were practically fighting each other to the point of brain damage.

My lord, times have changed.

"Some of the Kana people's regulations really make us feel that you lack sincerity." The Trisolaran leader frowned slightly after reading the documents Zeko presented to him.

Upon hearing this, Zeko's previously solid body instantly transformed into a cloud of white steam, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"I think you haven't quite grasped one thing. Taking you into the Carbon-Based Federation is a favor from the Kana people. Don't be so ungrateful. In our eyes, you're nothing but a bunch of insects."

The Trisolaran leader and all the governing officials present were stunned upon hearing this.

We are all insects...

This sentence sounds strangely familiar.

Three hundred years ago, when the Trisolarans arrived on Earth in a grand manner using sophons, they mocked humans as nothing more than a bunch of insects. But now, the world is cold and indifferent, and they never expected that they would one day be treated like insects.

The Trisolaran leader couldn't help but give a bitter smile and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I agree. When do you plan to send a transport ship to pick us up?"
