Chapter 546

Professor Liu's judgment coincided with the theories of many biological experts on the internet.

From the moment Zhang Lin mentioned Ban Jie Li seeing many deformed people appear, very professional biological experts had already expressed their opinions online.

Judging that this was a group that intermarried internally and had a population of no more than a thousand!

Logically speaking, over a thousand years, with a population of one thousand, intermarriage shouldn't have led to so many deformed people.

But there is a problem here that cannot be ignored.

One is that in the undersea cave, there were no other recreational activities; in the environment of eternal night, people really had nothing else to do besides reproduce.

The second is that some minority customs are different from those of the Central Plains people.

As a grassland ethnic group, their ethical concepts were actually not strong.

Things like a younger brother marrying a widowed sister-in-law or a son taking his father's concubines were common practice!

Many princesses from the Central Plains who were sent for marriage were dumbfounded when they first arrived on the grasslands and saw such customs.

The most famous one should be Wang Zhaojun going beyond the Great Wall; after marrying the Xiongnu Chanyu, when the Chanyu passed away, she married the Chanyu's eldest son!

Such customs are seen as very normal situations by some nomadic peoples.

Because the land was vast and sparsely populated, there were few people, and few women; for the sake of the group's reproduction, women were like cattle and sheep—a precious asset.

This led to the population in the undersea cave exceeding ten thousand over a thousand years, and also the birth of many deformed fetuses from close-relative marriages.

In strong contrast to this is the Zhang family of the Northeast!

The Zhang family strictly forbids intermarriage with outsiders in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline.

But the Zhang family controlled the physiological mutations caused by close-relative marriage very well!

Now, decades have passed since Ban Jie Li entered the undersea cave, and no one knows what the undersea cave has become.

Has it collapsed? Has the population died off on a large scale or grown?

All of this is full of unknowns to everyone, and it is becoming increasingly attractive.

It's just that Zhang Lin's storytelling for today has ended; to learn more about this undersea cave and what the real imperial tomb, the Sea God Palace, looks like, one needs to wait another day!

Thinking of this, the Crescent Hotel was filled with wails!

Zhang Lin, however, was already packing up his things, preparing to go find Yin Nanfeng to study the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box.

Just at this moment, Zhang Lin heard exclamations from the audience; many people were looking down at their phones, with expressions of horror on their faces, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Zhang Lin's heart stirred, thinking that the live stream on Yang Lusi's side had started and something had gone wrong!

He hurriedly asked the audience below: "What's wrong? Did something dangerous happen to Leader Yang?"

As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, he saw the audience below looking at him with surprised expressions.
