Chapter 10 Chapter 10 SPIRAL.
The top of the Baishi Industrial Building.
The small shuttle landed smoothly on the designated helipad. A man walked out of the cockpit quickly, and the surrounding employees all bowed in unison.
"Ms. Bai!" The crowd called out with respect.
Bai Mo nodded slightly, and without saying anything more, she walked into her residence. She was about to go straight back to the bedroom, but stopped when she passed the game cabin. Seeing a familiar person there leisurely playing games, she walked over and slapped the document on the person's chest.
"Who messed with you again, you're so ruthless?" Yin Zihang covered his chest and took off his glasses. One look at Bai Mo's expression, and he knew she was in a bad mood today. Yin Zihang swallowed the rest of his words and frowned as he took the document. "What is this?"
"Calculate the data."
"Calculate the data?" He flipped to the second page of the document and saw the first line, then suddenly realized, "Oh, that thing about the wrong question from a few days ago."
A few days ago, Yin Zihang saw a post on the candidate forum, questioning the errors in the joint examination questions. He found that the answers were indeed wrong, so he casually explained it to the poster, but no one believed it.
His competitive spirit kicked in—he sent a message to Bo Mo. If he didn't believe what the second-place finisher in the joint exam said, what about the first-place finisher?
Yin Zihang touched his nose. "But you don't usually care about this kind of thing. I thought you wouldn't reply to my message."
"The poster got the highest score in the Perception Mecha subject, so I took a closer look."
"Oh, yes, yes, of course, you only condescended to reply to my message because she got the highest score..."
Yin Zihang was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"What, you mean her score is higher than yours?!"
"Yes, it's just that she failed the comprehensive subjects, about the same as you, otherwise her total score would be higher than mine."
Yin Zihang was dumbfounded.
What does it mean to be considered a failure if you are almost the same as him? He was the second in the joint entrance examination!
Suddenly, an alarm sounded in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Bai Mo's expression changed and he quickly walked to the table.
On the screen, the researcher sitting at the desk nodded at her and then began to report the abnormal situation.
"Ms. Bai, I just identified Hengwo's operating information."
"Run? Impossible. For transportation safety, all my fuel has been emptied."
"Operators used the backup power system."
“!”
Bai Mo's hands on the back of the chair suddenly tightened, he pursed his lips and leaned forward.
"No ordinary person can turn on Hengwo's backup power system. Is it possible that the signal was wrong?"
"No, the signal comes from the third galaxy. It's very clear and there's no way to misjudge it. And..."
The researcher hesitated, as if he himself didn't quite believe what he was about to say.
"And Hengwo's mental power module responds to the operator. She is very likely the 'unlocker' we are looking for."
“…”
Bai Mo put his hands on the table. He said nothing, but he looked obviously shocked.
Yin Zihang on the side came over with some concern.
"Are you okay?"
Bai Mo let out a breath and calmed down, but her slightly trembling hands on the table still revealed her current emotions.
"fine."
We must find this pilot!
I have been unable to activate Heng for these years. It seems that there is a problem with its spiritual core. From time to time, it transmits a string of letters - [SPIRAL].
This string of letters has no specific meaning in Interstellar language, and everyone just thought it was an error code. However, after checking the development manual left by Tao Ying, they found that this was not the case.
【SPIRAL】 is a word from the ancient language of mankind.
In Interstellar, it means "unlocker".
Researchers speculate that when the fire broke out, Hengwo locked the driving permission for self-protection and required a specific object to activate it.
But over the years, Bai's Industries has searched the entire galaxy and has not been able to find this "unlocker".
And now, the day before Hengwo was about to be destroyed, she actually showed up.
"Heng where am I now?"
"Still on the starship."
"Continue to monitor the situation. Instruct researchers near the third system to immediately cease their work and secure the location of the unlocker."
"clear."
"Hasn't contacted the unlocker yet?"
Seeing that the researcher opposite seemed to be hesitant to speak, Bai Mo felt a little uneasy and stood up to ask.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, for some reason, we had successfully established a communication link, but the transport ship's signal was suddenly cut off. I tried to contact the dispatch center and learned that the starship had deviated from its course in the third system."
"The dispatch center claimed it was a temporary repair, but it doesn't look like that. The place where they deviated from the course was not in the communication blind spot."
Bai Mo leaned her hands on the seat, her expression unchanged, but her clenched fingers revealed her anxiety.
"State the conclusion."
There was clear worry in the researcher's tone.
"I suspect they... encountered space pirates."

After a brief stop at Changhe, the starship continued its journey.
"It's so boring! Why hasn't the top student sister come back yet? We are playing mahjong and are short one."
"With such a small luggage allowance, you still have extra weight to bring mahjong?"
"Of course." Hurley took out a palm-sized box of mahjong from her bag. It was green and white, small and cute.
"Here, this is a free set of mini mahjong erasers that came with the textbook."
"What a talented seller... enough talk, let's go!"
The trio excitedly pulled over an unfamiliar student sitting next to them and tried to rub their hands.
She pulled out the small table and had just laid out the cards. They were still warm but she hadn't touched them yet when the starship suddenly stopped. The mahjong box slipped out of Hurley's hand and fell to the ground with a crash.
Hurley slammed into the back of the front seat and touched her forehead in pain.
"What's going on?" She pulled the back of the chair with both hands, frowned and leaned towards the front of the cabin, trying to find out why the starship stopped suddenly.
But the electronic display was pitch black - well, this starship was too old, even the display was broken.
Hurley didn't know what had happened and could only guess the current situation.
"We've arrived so soon?"
"How is that possible? We've only jumped once. We have to go through several jump points to get to Laimen City. It's still early."
But it is indeed very strange. They have just passed the 423 jump point. Logically, the starship should fly smoothly for a long time. How could there be such a big vibration suddenly?
"It doesn't look like we've reached the station yet. Did we hit something?"
"Nonsense! The starship's route avoids the asteroid belt. This is space, not the atmosphere. How could a bird hit us?"
"Could it be the Zerg?"
"Don't scare me. We haven't seen Zerg in this section of the flight for decades."
"That's right, the Zerg usually appear in the Second Star System. But why hasn't the broadcast explained the situation yet? Isn't there really a problem?"
"Hey, why can't my optical computer connect to the Star Network?"
"Mine too..."
"My 100-game winning streak! My five-month winning streak! Why did the internet go down at this very moment?!"
In the crowd, a young man with messy hair who was playing games was howling loudly. He came to the cabin with an angry look on his face and pressed the call bell more than ten times in succession.
"Hey, what's going on? Restore the internet quickly, or I'll complain to you!"
