After 2010

Finished reading 2010. Combined with the description of the two follow-ups "2061" and "3001" of the tetralogy of a space voyage on Zhihu, I will give a rough follow-up plot to those who have never read the book like me: Jupiter becomes the second sun in 2010 Later, Haar 9000 and Bowman merged into a new energy body Haman. Due to the last warning sent to Earth not to land on Europa, the human spacecraft dared not land on Europa. However, in 2061, terrorists funded by the South African consortium came out of a Jupiter near-Earth exploration spacecraft named Milky Way. In order to obtain data on the diamonds left here when Jupiter exploded, they hijacked the crew and landed on Europa. The Galaxy called for help. Dr. Freud’s spacecraft was on an expedition to Halley’s Comet at this time. After receiving the distress signal, he immediately refueled and changed the scheduled plan, went to rescue the Galaxy, and the rescue was successful. But the doctor also merged with Harman to become a part of the pure energy body. Time has passed 1,000 years and arrived in 3001, when mankind resurrected the first protagonist Bowman's partner, Frank Poole, who was frozen. Since humans could not get in touch with Bowman in a thousand years, he asked Poole to drive the spacecraft Peregrine to Europa to contact Haman through Blackstone, and learned that the owner of Blackstone was 450 light-years away, and Haman It is similar to the existence of the assistants of the masters of Blackstone who monitor and dominate the galaxy. The owners of Blackstone were very enthusiastic about the life evolution experiment on Europa, and they did not hesitate to detonate Jupiter to form another sun. But the ignorance of the warning by humans on earth angered them. They issued an order to destroy the human beings on earth. Because of the information transmission, it took 900 years before and after the elimination order. Humans were shocked when they heard it, but they figured out a way to transmit a computer virus to Jupiter's Black Stone through Harman to disintegrate it. Harman was imprisoned in a computer chip and needed to wait for future technology development to be unlocked. In this way, mankind won 900 years. When the news of the disintegration of the Black Stone was passed to its owner, who re-planned to eliminate humans on Earth, it was already 900 years later.

    The movie is okay, but it completely lost the essence of 2001. After all, it is not from the old library. Zarathustra at the beginning said it was still so shocking

    I think it looks better than the first one. Maybe it's more commercial. Besides, the Cold War environment is added to it, and there are also a lot of thoughts. The nerves have been tense all the time while watching, it's very exciting.

  • HAL 9000: Are you sure you're making the right decision? I think we should stop.

  • Victor Milson: This is a most... difficult announcement. As you know, things have not been going well back home. Well, it's gotten worse - a lot worse. Yesterday, a Soviet destroyer challenged the blockade. Several warning shots were fired across her bow; she did not respond. A second volley was fired, there still was no response - none. The nuclear destroyer USS Cunningham launched two of her Falcon missiles. Both struck the Soviet vessel amidship. She broke in two and sunk. Eight hundred of her crew were lost. This morning, an American surveillance satellite was struck by a Soviet laser fired from the Sergei Kirov space station. The American satellite was destroyed. The United States has broken off diplomatic relations with Russia. All ambassadors have been recalled. The Soviet ambassador has been expelled, along with the entire staff. All American air defense and satellite defense forces are on full alert. Premier Ulanova made a televised address and said that technically, a state of war exists between our two countries. All American personnel are ordered to leave Soviet territory immediately or they will be placed under arrest. All Russian personnel are similarly ordered to evacuate American territory. As a result, by direct Presidential order, the three of you must leave the Leonov. No Russian citizen is allowed to remain on or is allowed to enter the Discovery; this order is effective immediately. The launch window for re-entry is 28 days. The Discovery has enough fuel for a low-consumption trajectory. HAL appears to be reactivated and is functioning well enough to operate the onboard systems. The Leonov has enough fuel for a low-consumption trajectory that will arrive 12 months earlier. The launch windows are critical for both spacecraft. Only communications of an emergency distress nature are allowed between the Leonov and Discovery. I know you people are caught in the middle of this; in a sense, we all are. I wish there was something I could do. The only thing left for us is to pray: pray for the safety of our families, for our countries, for our planet. May God forgive us... and protect us.
