Without these, for ordinary people, no matter how favorable other conditions are, they will still starve.
So the first thing Perfikot did after returning to the Northern Territory from the Empire's mainland was to build a compressed biscuit factory in Beloburg and personally used alchemy to produce the first batch of compressed biscuits.
This batch of compressed biscuits amounted to several dozen tons. Although it doesn't sound like much, it was sufficient to supply the first batch of immigrants arriving in the Northern Territory with rations until the factory began operations.
Of course, having this technology doesn't mean Perfikot intends to abandon greenhouse cultivation.
Even though compressed biscuits can meet all human needs and won't really cause starvation, consuming the same food long-term can still pose psychological issues.
The variety of foods provided by greenhouse cultivation is the best way to enhance life in a post-apocalyptic environment.
