Lu Yuanming was aware of the catastrophe when the report had been placed on his desk.
Just a dozen or so hours earlier, a research lab in the Xianxia Order World had suddenly entered a state of informational silence.
According to the security management regulations for all research labs, institutes, or even the largest research bases in the Xianxia Order World, there was a mandate for external communication and information exchange every twelve hours.
This was the most basic and stringent security management regulation; without exception, any unit or personnel violating it would face the most severe charges and punishment. This was no mere dereliction of duty; keep in mind all staff members in the Xianxia Order World were part of the military units. Any violators would be summoned before a military tribunal, where the highest sentence could be execution by firing squad.
