Li Banfeng questioned Professor Zhao Zhihong about companion star planets and Puluo State. After Li Banfeng revealed his Dark Star Bureau ID and assured the professor of his intentions, Zhao Zhihong, with Meng De and the Music Box providing security, explained that companion star planets have been exchanging with Earth via wormholes for many years. He also elaborated that steam civilization, far from being backward, could be highly advanced in certain environments, unlike Earth's electrical civilization.

Chapter 1415: Chapter 639: Balance (Volume 2 Finale) (Part 2)

Inner State indeed took the Steam Civilization to its extremes, and on this point, Li Banfeng wholeheartedly agreed. As for whether Steam Civilization or Electrical Civilization was more advanced, Li Banfeng found it difficult to reverse his cognition for the moment, but this did not affect communication between the two sides.

Zhao Zhihong continued: “When the Companion Star Civilization opened the channel to Earth, Earth’s civilization was still in its infancy. If life from the Companion Star successfully emerged from the wormhole, it would deliver a devastating blow to Earth’s civilization, because at that time, the two civilizations were simply not on the same dimensional level,

but perhaps due to technical limitations or because the wormhole’s properties changed, what was originally set as a one-way explosive exit turned into a one-way accretion,

Do you understand the concepts of accretion and expulsion?”

Li Banfeng shook his head; he didn’t quite understand.

Zhao Zhihong picked up a balloon: “Take this elongated balloon as an example. The balloon has a hole, and logically the gas inside should expel, but for some reason, the balloon’s properties changed, causing it not to expel, but instead to constantly suction in,

This channel connecting Earth and the companion star planet continuously extracts substances from Earth, and this is not me speaking nonsense, this is the result of joint research by many scientists, which also includes contributions from many historians,

In many ancient documents, there is record of the Big Vortex, our documents have records of turbulence, folk legends have records of the Dragon Gate,

In the Western Homer’s epic, there are records of the monster Calubdis, and in the Norway Kingdom, there are records of the Mosken Whirlpool,

The vortexes recorded in these documents share many identical or similar descriptions, in fact, it records the wormhole exit at the time. Of course, it’s called an exit because Companion Star people originally considered them exits, but the actual situation was that these exits had become entrances only, with no exit.”

Li Banfeng sensed some issues: “Professor Zhao, how do you know the thoughts of Companion Star planet people? Is this what you inferred?”

Zhao Zhihong shook his head: “This is not inference. Companion Star people once had in-depth contact with Earth people, which we call the honeymoon period,

Companion Star people lived peacefully on Earth for a period of time, leaving many documents behind, although most of these documents have been lost, a small portion is under strict control.”

“When was the honeymoon period?”

Professor Zhao said: “Tracing back to a specific era is very complex, it should be before the first Steam Revolution, and during this period, after experiencing long years of accretion, the wormhole had accumulated many forms of life from Earth,

these lives merged with the native life inside the wormhole, forming a unique civilization, which is the wormhole civilization.”

Li Banfeng understood: “You can simply say it’s the Puluo State civilization.”

Professor Zhao shook his head again: “That’s not accurate.”

Li Banfeng received higher education and also possessed biological knowledge: “There are native lives inside the wormhole? Can a wormhole evolve life within thousands of years? Isn’t that time too short?”

Professor Zhao shook his head: “Your thinking remains confined to Earth, Earth’s life evolution speed depends on its environment, whereas the environment inside the wormhole is far more extreme, and the speed of life evolution is also much faster,

I once had contact with some People of Puluo State through special channels, under the influence of the wormhole environment, their temperament became extremely extreme, and their physical structure underwent varying degrees of mutation.”

In this matter, Li Banfeng indeed had the right to speak.

He was very familiar with People of Puluo State, and he never felt they had anything extreme.

“What do you mean by extreme?”

“You are from Dark Star Bureau, you surely have some understanding of them.”

Li Banfeng smiled: “I really don’t understand.”

Zhao Zhihong explained: “If they love food, they will binge eat, if they love traveling, they will frenziedly roam, if they want to drink alcohol, they will ingest alcohol far beyond their body’s tolerance,

such fanatical behavior will grant them some abilities that violate macroscopic physical rules, this is a kind of obsession caused by the influence of a special environment.”

Banfeng’s cheeks twitched as he retorted: “Is liking a balloon, never being able to let go of a balloon, considered obsession?”

Zhao Zhihong held the balloon, seriously saying: “Balloons are different, they can bring people happiness, people who like balloons are those who love life, how can loving life be considered obsession?”

Li Banfeng looked at the documents Zhao Zhihong provided. His theories indeed had a large amount of empirical support. Traces of wormhole exits were found all over the world.

Wait, all over the world!

Li Banfeng looked toward Zhao Zhihong: “From the companion star planet to Earth, how many wormholes are there?”

“There is only one wormhole, but there are many exits.”

“What kind of logic is this?”

Zhao Zhihong picked up an octopus balloon.

Seeing him blow up the balloon, Li Banfeng felt speechless.

The octopus balloon was filled, Zhao Zhihong pinched the octopus head: “This is the wormhole.”

He then pinched the octopus legs: “These are the exits.”

Li Banfeng understood his meaning: “There are multiple exits.”

“Civility is not just one,” Professor Zhao pinched the octopus legs one by one, “The properties of each exit vary, with the passage of time, different changes have occurred,

Some exits remain only entrance, the situation here is uninvestigated, according to information left by Companion Star people, people here have been completely enslaved by Companion Star people, becoming inferior life forms under Companion Star people,
