My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 156 Lime? Ishimura number!
Looking at the notes in my hand, it seemed that this was not the original, but rather a copy that the owner of the notes had deliberately copied.

There's a big difference between taking notes on the spot and copying them down.

Old Green confirmed this, saying that he would only jot down two keywords when taking notes, instead of writing a complete sentence like this, and with such good handwriting.

He continued turning the page, and just as the two had guessed, the village chief, Green, was a resident who had escaped from the fairy tale world. However, unlike their previous guesses, he was not the king of the Silver Kingdom in the fairy tale world, but just a young mage seeking knowledge.

He accidentally stumbled into a secret realm, where he arrived in Hell and encountered the humans in Hell who had nearly perished.

And once, he was accidentally captured by the Thing and returned to the fairy tale world. This made him fully understand the connection between the two worlds. He then searched for the original secret realm, almost died half his life, and returned to hell.

From then on, he settled permanently in Hell, using his limited magical knowledge and plant cultivation skills to help the people of this world survive in this hellish environment.

The rest of the information is not important. However, the content of this notebook should start from a hundred years ago, but the notebook is very new, as if it was only started a few years ago.

“This is another way for me to keep myself from forgetting things. Every now and then I copy down the old records, just like I copy down a poem my wife wrote for me every now and then,” Old Green explained.

Xue Dinglu roughly flipped through it, then asked, "According to his records, he first traveled back to Hell when he was about 17 years old... Old Green, what were you doing when you were seventeen?"

Xue also realized that he really hadn't dreamed about Old Green's childhood memories. Xue had previously thought this was normal, since many people basically forget their memories before their teens as they get older.

Especially for children who had a smooth childhood, their memories before junior high school may be so blurry that it's like looking at the clouds through frosted glass.

And old Green is almost two hundred years old.

"Before the age of 17? I don't remember much. It seems I was just a young mage traveling around. I don't know the rest of my memories. I..." Old Green suddenly paused, looking at the few words in the notebook about the village chief Green before the age of 17.

Before the age of 17, this village chief was just a traveling sorcerer.

“If I’m not mistaken, it was when he first traveled back to Hell Star that you two separated. The Fairy Tale World fixed this bug, you were separated and replaced the original ‘Grimm,’ while he became the virus of the Fairy Tale World, not allowed to enter unless he was re-identified through the Thing,” Xue Law said.

"Further speculation suggests that his second departure from Hell may have led to the current King of the Silver Kingdom."

Old Green wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak for a long time. After they arrived in Silver City and saw the Silver Princess's sleeping crystal coffin, he knew that Xue's guess was very likely correct.

After the Silver Princess left the fairy tale world, a new version of her appeared in Silver City, seemingly under the witch's spell. All the evidence pointed to her being merely a copy of the village chief.

The following content doesn't contain much useful information. It's all about how he used magic to perform miracles on the people in hell, thereby gaining leadership, cultivating mushrooms that could be grown throughout hell, and guiding the remaining people on how to fetch water.

It even records why they used circuit boards and plastic strips as weapons, because for the fungal carpet and the monsters, these circuit boards, plastic strips, and even synthetic clothing are considered "garbage" and need to be disposed of first.

So stabbing the monster with a spear with a plastic strap attached has the same effect as shoving a dirty mop in someone's face.

Xue Dinglu then understood why both the guards and the people who went out to scavenge had strange things strapped to their weapons. They all knew that the monsters were unkillable, and the purpose of those weapons was actually to exploit a bug in the monsters' abilities, allowing them to prioritize the task of "processing garbage".

Seeing this, Xue's Law and Old Green were both slightly speechless. Life always finds a way out. Xue's Law was also puzzled as to how a group of mortals could still survive in the face of monsters that were generally of level 1 or higher.

Given that Old Green has the strength of a level 4 demon, and the Silver Witch he met in the fairy tale world also has the strength of a level 4 demon, it wouldn't be surprising if a level 5 demon king appeared in the fairy tale world, according to Xue's Law.

After finishing this note, Xue's Law turned to the next ledger-like document.

Xue Dinglu originally thought this was also a record of many support personnel coming and going, but after flipping through it, he was completely stunned.

"In my 162nd year, 56 people have been assimilated by the monsters, and 87 people have been born. The target has not been achieved. I still need to use excuses to assimilate dozens more people by the monsters, bringing the total population to 1600."

"In my 163rd year, 33 people have been assimilated by the monsters this year, and 21 people were born. The population is getting smaller and smaller, and if this continues, we will be less and less able to achieve our goals."

……

"I have lived for 172 years. This year, 16 people have been assimilated by the monster, 2 people have died in accidents, and 14 people have been born. I can't hold on much longer..."

"In my 173rd year, 11 people have been assimilated by the monsters this year, and 2 people have been born. The total population has fallen below 800, and we can only lie and say that there are still more than 1000 people. How long can we hold on?"

"How much longer can I live?" "How long will it take for Him to completely take over the Lime Ship?"

Each one was a record of the population, among which "My History" was clearly a timekeeping method set by the village chief himself. Xue calculated that he should have used his first year in Hell as a reference point.

But now, looking at the population figures, Xue could understand why the village chief had been deliberately sending others into the fairytale world, most of whom were elderly.

But the last "He" made both Xue's Law and Old Green's expressions turn serious.

This is not the first time this term has appeared. The only thing Xue Law can associate with it is that great being who turned fairy tales into reality. Only that being can perhaps be described as "He".

Therefore, it seems that the old village chief's plan was to delay "His" revival.

And, "Lime?"

"Have you heard of this name?" Xue asked Old Green. The name sounded like the name of a ship or a chariot, or perhaps a spaceship from a past civilization that wanted to escape this hell.

It is indeed possible. If there really is technology that can escape this hellish planet, Xue's Law believes that someone will definitely build a spaceship to escape.

Furthermore, based on all the intelligence gathered so far, it is speculated that the ancient civilization was not a magical civilization, but rather a civilization that leaned towards flesh-and-blood technology. The strange shapes and fungal carpets show that their biotechnology was extremely advanced.

Of course, there is also some mechanical technology, but compared to biotechnology, which can create "immortal" creatures and fungal carpets, mechanical technology is only limited to what it looks like when it first entered the information age.

Just like the fans and server room in his room, it had the feel of a computer room the size of one from the last century.

In other words, before the fairy tale world became a physical entity, this civilization had no magic, or its level of magic development was very weak. It probably hadn't even explored the technology tree for teleportation. Therefore, it's quite normal for them to use technological methods to build spaceships.

"The Limestone, so it might be a spaceship from the original civilization? And based on current speculation, it might even be a living biological spaceship." Old Green also expressed his speculation, which was very similar to Xue's Law.

"Could it be that the living biological spaceship has gone out of control and started causing irreversible consequences, which is why we have to fill it with people every year, just like with the filler baby?" Xue Dinglu said, expressing his guess.

But for now, all they can do is watch and guess.

The two had no further information. After finding no other notes, they could only look around the entire computer room. Countless fans and bright red liquid circulated within the room. Although it was large and quite strange, Xue Lude recognized that both the fans and the liquid were cooling mechanisms.

Looking closer, many of the magic arrays seemed to be designed to aid in heat dissipation, with over 70% of the room's structure focused on this purpose. Xue's theory was truly perplexing.

What exactly is it that requires such a large amount of heat dissipation? Even the cooling systems of early computers from the last century weren't this outrageous.

Xue Lude and Old Green exchanged a glance, and the two divided the work: one of them deciphered the remaining magic array, while the other began to examine what was at the very center.

Soon, the magic array was broken one by one by Old Green. The village chief's magical skill was not even at the second level, and his magic could not stop Old Deng, who was already at the fourth level.

Looking at the mechanical structure of the server room frame, Xue Daolu roughly understood the function of the fan and water pipe and how to dismantle them. With the cooperation of the old man and the young man, Xue Daolu dismantled the entire fan without affecting the original structure in just a few minutes.

Then he saw, inside the very center, a "brain"?
It is somewhat similar to the human brain, but it is much larger, with a diameter of nearly one meter. Countless tubes connect the entire brain, and the cerebral cortex twitches from time to time, as if it were alive.

"Are you the new saviors?" Suddenly, a voice rang in the hearts of Xue Lude and Old Green.

Both of them realized that these words came from this brain.

"I'm sorry, this is the only way I can communicate with you. I am the artificial intelligence of the Limeship, responsible for all the operation and maintenance tasks of the space carrier Limeship, and will periodically send personnel to nearby planets to collect materials."

"This journey is estimated to last 35000 years, spanning nearly 1123 generations, and the final settlement will be near the planet α-156, located 3.4 light-years away from the parent star."

The star map was displayed directly in front of the two of them, and Xue Dinglu was stunned.

Planet Alpha 156 looks so much like our solar system.
