Hello all
How can I route between tow deferent router types like cisco and mikrotik. or any anther deferent routers, is there any way to use static route ???

you can use static and use OPSF
ospf is ieee standard so it run in all vendors

If the router in question supports static routing, yes, you should be able to use static routes for routing. Do know, possibly different vendor equipment might have different syntax for a static route.
As @MHM Cisco World notes in his reply, besides static routing, if routers support the same routing protocol, such as his mention of using OSPF, you should also be able to do dynamic routing between routers. Again, syntax may differ across different routers, especially different vendors. MHM only mentioned OSPF, but other standard dynamic routing protocols might be used, such as RIP, RIPv2, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, IS-IS IPv6, and BGP IPv4 or IPv6. EIGRP, both for IPv4 and IPv6, used to be totally Cisco proprietary, but a couple of years back, they, I believe/recall, allowed most of it into the public domain. However, don't believe there's been much uptake of EIGRP by other vendors.
Of the standard dynamic routing protocols, you're most likely find RIP and/or OSPF supported.

I only mention ospf only because I am sure 99% other vendors support it.
static route not need to match in both routers
and eigrp until now engineer can not full explain the metric eigrp use and sorry to say that but what cisco thinking when make metric number in million.

"I only mention ospf only because I am sure 99% other vendors support it."
There's that, plus IS-IS unlikely to be found on much low end or Enterprise equipment. OSPF, if available, superior to RIP, and BGP, by design, not an IGP.
"and eigrp until now engineer can not full explain the metric eigrp use and sorry to say that but what cisco thinking when make metric number in million."
That aside, many consider EIGRP, if available, superior to OSPF, and definitely it is, in some specific usage cases. All the large Enterprises I worked in, didn't use it, because they didn't want to be locked into using Cisco equipment, even when they were Cisco only shops.
