Chapter 47 Introduction of the main characters in the whole book series

(in order of appearance) Organized by Qi Shifang and Weng Shujing Moon-Watcher (Moon-Watcher) 4 million years ago, the African ape-man was the leader of a tribe on the verge of extinction.Due to the advanced intelligent creatures from outer space, through the mysterious stone slabs, the energy that affects the intelligence is sent to the moon watcher, so that he knows how to use stone tools to find food, which has inspired the evolution of human beings on earth since then (see "2001: A Space Odyssey" for details) . Dr. Heywood Floyd (Heywood Floyd) American national aerospace technology expert.During his tenure as the chairman of the "National Interstellar Navigation Science Society", he was ordered to explore the Tycho Slate on the moon; when the main computer Hal on the Discovery spacecraft that executed the Jupiter project was out of control, Floyd's command center on Earth took control of the overall situation ( See "2001: A Space Odyssey" for details).Due to Floyd's rich experience in space travel, he was ordered to join the Leonov spacecraft to rescue the Discovery from Jupiter; and at the age of 103, he served as the on-board consultant of the spacecraft Cosmos and landed in Halley Comets (see "2010: A Space Odyssey", "2061: A Space Odyssey" for details).

David Bowman, captain of the spaceship Discovery, is an expert in applied astronomy, automatic control, and space propulsion systems.When the other crew members of the Discovery were killed by the computer Hal, he alone operated the spaceship to go to Jupiter, and later fell into the "star gate" of the slab TMA2 on Jupiter, becoming a non-material, immortal new life form that exists with ideas. Starchild" (see "2001: A Space Odyssey" for details).He once communicated with Freud consciously, warning that the Leonov crew must leave Jupiter, which is about to explode, within 15 days (see "2010: A Space Odyssey" for details).Finally, under the arrangement of advanced intelligent creatures, he combined with the once opposing computer Hal and became "Harman" (see "3001: A Space Odyssey" for details).

HAL (HAL) Heuristically programmed algorithm computer, the abbreviation of Heuristically programmed Algorithmic computer, can operate the Discovery spacecraft alone.After Hal murdered the four Discovery astronauts, important parts were removed by David Bowman, and the function was weakened (see "2001: A Space Odyssey" for details).Hal, who was drifting in the orbit of Jupiter with the Discovery, was finally rescued by Dr. Chandra, the inventor who loved him deeply ten years later.After the explosion of Jupiter, it was changed by advanced intelligent organisms into a life form beyond the existence of matter (see "2010: A Space Odyssey" for details).Finally combined with Bowman to become "Haman" (see "3001: A Space Odyssey" for details).

Frank Poole (Frank Poole), a member of the "Discovery", was killed by the supercomputer Hal while performing extravehicular activities to check and replace the faulty AE35 communication components (see "2001: Space roaming").Poole was rescued by the Goliath 1000 years later, and then set off with the Goliath, and persuaded Harman to implement the plan of "Trojan Horse Massacre", and finally became a hero who saved all human lives on the earth (see "3001 for details : A Space Odyssey). Dr. Chandra (Dr. Chandra), the inventor of the computer Hal, is a professor of computer science at the University of Illinois in Urbana, USA.He took the Leonov and rescued Hal, who was drifting in the orbit of Jupiter with the Discovery.Because he loves Hal so much, he even wants to stay alone with Hal on the return trip (see "2010: A Space Odyssey" for details).

Dr. Zhang (Dr. Chang), scientific officer of the spacecraft "Qian Xuesen", astronomer and exobiologist, met Freud at the "International Astronomical Union" Boston Symposium in 2001 .When he witnessed the destruction of Qian Xuesen by unknown creatures on Europa Europa, he continued to send messages to Dr. Freud (see "2010: A Space Odyssey" for details). Chris Floyd Jr. (Christ Ⅱ Floyd) Floyd's grandson, the second officer of the "Galaxy" spacecraft, secretly working for the interstellar police authority.Later, he and his colleague Vanderburg boarded Europa's "Mount Zeus" expedition (see "2061: A Space Odyssey" for details).

Dimitri Chandler (Dimitrl ChandIer) spaceship Goliath captain, bearded, nicknamed "Tim".Rescued Frank Poole near Neptune.Poole is allowed to fly the one-man space shuttle Peregrine alone to Europa, Europa, in search of David Bowman.Then during the space mission, the Goliath was blown up by a comet that suddenly exploded, and Chandler disappeared with all the crew members (see "3001: A Space Odyssey" for details). Dr. Indra Wallace (Indra Wallace) a remarkable female historian.Originally Poole's guardian and tour guide, when Poole went to Ganymede, he communicated frequently with Poole, fell in love with Poole, married, and had a son and a daughter (see "3001: A Space Odyssey" for details).
