Inside the Governor's Office, Alex was eating.
Although his current body was created by the Emperor and was merely a mass of energy in the eyes of the Silent Sisters, this body could still eat and drink, possessing complete senses and various physiological reactions indistinguishable from a real person.
Simply put, Alex would also feel hungry and thirsty, wanting to eat and drink, and also wanting to sleep and mint currency.
Of course, Alex had not yet tested minting currency, as this body did not possess the function of multiplying fake currency.
As for whether he could mint currency… Alex thought it best not to try it easily.
It wasn't due to any 潔癖 or special preferences; he simply didn't wish to mint currency in this world.
Besides guarding against a certain dirty thing with a pink mood, he needed to be even more wary of the Yellow-skinned one himself.
Because you truly never know if the young lady you are minting currency with is not the Yellow-skinned one, who has, on a whim, returned to his old ways as the Roman she-wolf.
After all, he could possess a young nun and descend, so it's hard to guarantee he wouldn't follow the same pattern.
Even if it wasn't, if it happened to be a Son of the Stars or a Living Saint, Alex would still find it very troublesome.
This was also why he remained unmoved by the five attendant Sisters dressed as maids, who were also white-haired older sisters.
However, while he couldn't touch the older sisters, he could still enjoy the delicacies of the 40k era.
After removing some exotic ingredients, the food of the 40k era was still commendable, especially since as the Governor of a planet, Alex could enjoy exquisite dishes.
Many ingredients in the 40k era were completely different from the 3k era; for example, chickens had become extinct, and all the eggs consumed by the Imperium were synthetic products.
(According to the Department of Military Affairs' weekly article, some desperate gourmands planned to catch a Tzeentch Greater Daemon, pluck its feathers, and stew it into chicken soup to drink.)
As for beef, it evolved from normal herbivorous cattle into something like the Ant Cow, which has no relation to cattle whatsoever.
Eating this stuff extremely tests a chef's patience and skill.
Because Ant Cow meat contains a large number of highly resilient parasitic eggs, even if it has been canned and roasted over a fire for three or four days, the eggs in the can can still hatch.
They can even grow into a new Ant Cow inside the stomach, because these eggs are the larvae of the Ant Cow.
(Ant Cows and Ant Cow larvae, the small worms that fall off it are Ant Cow larvae.)
However, although this thing is extremely dangerous, to the extent that ordinary Astra Militarum personnel need to prepare a promehtium flamethrower and a Lasgun when consuming it to avoid becoming its food.
However, Ant Cow meat is indeed a top-tier luxury delicacy of the Imperium; although its consumption carries an extremely high risk, comparable to the enormous Howling Bulls on Fenris, its taste truly justifies such danger.
Moreover, the Ant Cow meat typically available to nobles, unless intentionally seeking a thrill, has undergone strict inactivation treatment and can be consumed safely.
What was in front of Alex was just such a perfectly cooked Ant Cow steak that had been rigorously processed.
Of course, a noble's dining table couldn't possibly have only one dish; besides the pan-fried Ant Cow steak, there was also a golden-brown and tempting roasted Golo Beast steak.
Compared to the Ant Cow, the Golo Beast was much safer.
This livestock, with tender and delicious meat and rich nutrition, possesses powerful vitality that allows it to survive in almost any environment, and its digestive system can process any food, making it incredibly easy to raise.
The only problem is that they are very aggressive and will charge at anything in their sight that obstructs their path, even if it's another Golo Beast.
However, for the Imperium, this problem is easily solved: simply remove part of the Golo Beast's brain lobes, directly turning these aggressive creatures into obedient, simple-minded animals.
(Golo Beast)
This type of livestock is widely promoted in the Imperium, as a single Golo Beast can provide a substantial amount of meat.
There are also Golo Beast farms on Rostov II; these animals are simply too easy to raise, they can survive as long as there is something to eat, completely disregarding the breeding environment.
However, to better obtain high-quality meat, the Imperium usually still raises them on a large scale in agricultural worlds.
The Golo Beast farms on Rostov II were originally used by nobles to satisfy their cravings; after all, when a planet's food supply mainly relied on imports from agricultural worlds, eating meat was indeed a luxury.
But thanks to Alex's efforts, the food supply on Rostov II can now be solved by protein factories.
Although the energy bars made from protein obtained through yeast basically only serve to fill one's stomach, they have indeed fed every mouth on Rostov II.
When able to eat their fill, upholding a Seres person's dedication to food, Alex naturally sought to eat well.
Golo Beast farming was his first step, and the hydroponic farms already beginning to produce in space were another plan.
According to Alex's plan, once the Orbital Ring is completed, more and larger-scale hydroponic farms will be laid out on the Orbital Ring, providing enough food for the entire planet and even the entire system.
If Ovilia's research goes smoothly, Alex also plans to have her help transform a dead world into an agricultural world.
As for the ecological planets originally suitable for immigration, Alex was reluctant to convert them into agricultural worlds.
After all, the Imperium's approach to agricultural worlds is truly wasteful of planets.
"Governor, a Priest from the Ecclesiarchy has come to visit." Just as Alex was drinking Amasec and eating his Golo Beast steak, an attendant Sister with short white hair, wearing a black and white maid's long dress and a headband, walked over and informed Alex of the visitor.
Alex, who was eating, would naturally not receive guests at the dining table. Although according to the customs of the Seres people, the dining table is a place for discussing matters, that is for formal banquets, not for receiving guests halfway through a meal.
The Duke of Zhou spitting out his food was to show his respect for worthy individuals, but a Priest of the Ecclesiarchy was not worth Alex doing so.
"Tell that Priest to rest in the reception room, serve him a meal, and I will see him after I finish eating," Alex directly instructed the attendant Sister.
"Yes, Governor." This attendant Sister, whose cheek bore the Ecclesiarchy's fleur-de-lis emblem, showed no emotion at Alex's treatment of a Priest of the Ecclesiarchy; she simply understood and withdrew to arrange for the Priest's reception.
However, as she left the dining room, this attendant Sister cast a glance at another attendant Sister standing in the dining room.
