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.
