It is a 1997 sci-fi work by British sci-fi master Arthur Clarke. It inherits Clarke's early works and "2010 Megatron Helios", two masterpieces that are both novels and movies. In "2001", it shows that the development of human science and technology in the 20th century is enough to march into space, and the Digu magnetic plate on the moon is constantly sending out stable and continuous radio waves to Jupiter, as if telling Jupiter that the wisdom on the earth has begun. Step out of "space" and challenge "time and space", the story is not over, the technology of the end of the 20th century on the earth still cannot "see" the "mysterious masters" of the earth, but they can "feel" their existence.Now, the earth science and technology in the 21st century has taken another big step forward. Scientists from the United States and Russia have overcome political differences and are working hand in hand in space. Human beings already know that Jupiter is a base camp of "alien visitors". Working hard, humans are preparing to land on Jupiter. At the critical moment, the Digu magnetic board reappeared, and at the same time brought a warning from the other side that "landing is possible everywhere, except Europa". Strange power "transformed" into a new sun.Astronauts from the United States and Russia finally use the "space brake" technology to tour the earth.After all, human beings are still very small, and it is still impossible to see the true face of the mysterious alien.

In "2061", Dr. Buddha is still the protagonist. Based on his experience in the previous two space missions, he shouldered the expectations of all the people on Earth, and was ordered to pursue the "truth", revealing the technology of flying over comets, and avoiding the aliens.

The theme of the book "2061" has been mentioned earlier. The book consists of nine chapters and 60 chapters. From the beginning of 2061 to the last year of 3001, the huge Tigu magnetic plate has been removed from the surface of the moon in 2001. Moved to the United Nations Building Plaza in New York.Because human civilization has been rapidly improved since 2010, aliens who care about the earth are still watching us more closely even though they are still ahead of our technology.
