The Universe of Nothing (collection)
Be that as it may, the Orcs quickly adapted to the new world. Their physical strength and stamina allowed them to survive in the harshest conditions. They learned how to mine minerals, build fortifications, and craft weapons. Over time, they developed their own traditions and customs, as well as unique technologies, such as Arcadia submachine guns and metal spacesuits.
But despite all the achievements, the struggle for resources remained the main driving force of their society. Clans and tribes were constantly at war with each other, trying to capture as much landas possible. And so и began the era of great battles, which changed the face of the Land of the Orcs forever.
Orcs also actively used the technology of the human race, but at the same time hated humans. Humans often tried to sneak into their lands and destroy their race. Why do they need it? After the fall of their great human empire, called the World Union (which, by the way, included only human republics), the Land of Humans turned into hell: devastation, poverty, squalid cities and hungry people who are slowly turning into beasts. There are orcs that give people shelter, but practice shows that they also bring devastation and slaughter there. And why do they do it?
Humans and Orcs
The Orcs had long known about the existence of another race – humans. Although they rarely met face-to-face, rumors of humans circulated among theOrcs, causing mixed feelings of fear and hatred. Humans were known for their cunning and guile, and many Orcs considered them a threat to their existence.
The Orcs didn't just use the technologies of the human race, they actively studied and modified them to suit their needs. Arcadia automatons, for example, were originally a human invention, but theRCTs improved them by adding their own elements and making themе even more deadly. However, despite this, theOroki continued to hate humans, considering them the culprits of all the troubles that befell their race.
People, for their part, also did not stay away. They have repeatedly attempted to infiltrate the RCT landsо, hoping to find valuable resources there or eliminate the threatthey thought they posed to therct. These attempts usually ended in failure, as theRCTs were well trained and had strong armies.
Hatred between оOrcs and humans continued to grow, and both sides prepared for another battle. People were beginning to gradually recover from the upheaval caused by their split and form alliances. No one knew who would emerge victorious from this confrontation, but one thing was clear: after this, the world would never be the same again.
Opening of Arcade machines
How did the Orcs discover this machinegun?
Клан ГрозThe Thunderhammer Clan, known for its bold scouts and warriors, has long exploredremote areas of the mountain ranges, trying to discover new sources of precious metals. Once, during another expedition, a group of warriors came across a strange structure hidden deep in the mountains. It turned out to be an abandoned outpost of human civilization, left over fromthe ancient wars.
The scouts found many unusual devices and mechanisms inside the outpost, which at first seemed incomprehensible and useless. However, one of the clan elders, an experienced engineer named Thunderfang, immediately realized that ourel was something important. He began to study the drawings and diagrams he found, trying to understand how these machines worked.
Several monthsofhard work passed before Gromoklyk was finally able to assemble the first prototype of the Arkady assault rifle. It was a powerful weapon, capable of firing continuous bursts of bullets with tremendous destructive power. The machine gun wasеlight and compact, which made it possible to carry it even in conditions of active combat.
Realizing that this dangerous and deadly weapon can be too deadly if it turns out to be only in one hand, he went to a distant settlement-a Market. The laws of none of the clans applied there, and the clans kept the peace there so that they could trade. Gromoklyk was able to organize his own factory for the production of this machine gun there and sold it for an affordable price to all interested clans. And although he is considered a traitor in his clan, he himself has become quite a successful entrepreneur. But at some point, Thunderfang went missing and was never seen again…
News of the new weapons quickly spread to the other clans. Everyone realized that Arcadia's automatons coulddramatically change the course of wars. Now, those who possessed these devices gained a significant advantage over their enemies. An arms race had begun, with each clan scrambling to gain access to Arcadia's technology so as not to be left behind.
The discovery of the Arcadia automata led to significant changes in the structure of power and influence among theOrcs. Those who first mastered these weapons were able to strengthen their positions and expand their territories. The rest were forced to find ways to counteract this new challenge, or try to create their own similar weapons.
