Some people say that the “dunes” franchise will be developed mainly on spice melange (magical drugs that enable interstellar trips), but true “dunes” fans will know that property will be developed mainly on sandwoms. I am. The huge worm walking around the planet of the Arakis desert is a religious and beauty of A Kei, a source of great opportunity and a horror. They can create spices and use them as a makeshift Uber, but they can eat you, and they don’t feel sick.
If you want to control the worm, you need one tool. Thumper. The sample, a mechanical device created by the flemen, literally hits the sand at a constant speed, radiates many miles of sand, and produces noise that attracts the nearest worm. The worms will eat samples, but that’s OK. The floremen that activated it has become a hindrance before it arrives.
Why does worms always come for tumper? The rhythms they hit the sand are alive that make noise, and the creature gives the impression that they make good worms. I know that worms that move to the basement are usually used to listen to random noise here and there because the wind is throwing sand. (It’s like a “quiet place” aliens don’t care about hunting by waterfalls and other natural sounds.)
Thumpers is an original tool created by FREMEN.
In a sense, samper is the opposite of sandwalk techniques taught since childhood. The sandwalk is to blend into the sound of the natural desert. On the other hand, the purpose of the sample is that it does not blend at all. Sometimes it is used to evoke the worm for a taxi purpose. It also intends to hide evidence of crime that may have occurred in a specific place. And sometimes the sample is part of TRAP. Fremen can invite the enemy to that place, but once the enemy arrives there, he may notice that Thumper is too late, and the worm may be swallowed at any time.
You can’t see many of them in the “Sand Dunes” book, but there are many tumper variations. There is a type sample that comes with a candle. When the candle burns out, the sample is triggered and begins to attract the warm. (It takes about an hour to burn, but it can be designed to burn longer or short.) In addition to the useful tools, Thumpers will help you see how smart Frenen is. 。 They are less accessible to technologies as Harconen and Atlay Desic Ions have, but they can build this effective and complex technology. Combining the amazing steuts technology between Thumper Technology and Fremen, there are groups of very wise people about how they live in the sand.
And where did Frank Herbert, the author of the Sand Dunes, get the idea of Tonperers? Environmental artists may have been inspired by Woodcoc in the United States, a real bird that invites insects on the ground using very similar tactics. Of course, the bird approach is much smaller and the betting is small, but it is not difficult to remember the tumper when these cute small men step on the ground.
