硬核科幻美剧 《太空无垠》 第五季的剧情，完美预言当下的国际形势

接着昨天的话题，谈一谈《太空无垠》的剧情，该剧还是很神奇的，完美地映射了当下的国际形势。

在小说设定中，未来太空时代的太阳系有三大势力，分别是地球、火星和小行星带人。地球对应的是现在的西方发达国家，或者也可以简单地理解为拥有世界霸权的美国。火星代表正在崛起的新兴霸权。与地球保持着强烈的竞争关系的，但是尚未到达公开对抗的地步的部分，很明显地感觉到的这是在影射中国。而小行星带人就是广大的第三世界国家，他们没有强大的国家组织，相对松散，只能在两大强权之间的夹缝中间求生存。

如果要找一个明确的影射对象，非常类似于现实中的阿拉伯民族。阿拉伯民族中曾出现过埃及的纳赛尔这样，想统一阿拉伯世界，成为世界一极的人物，但最终没有成功。这与美国支持的以色列，在中东作为一支楔子有着很大的关系。在第五季中的大反派，也是这样一位要领导联和行星带人建立统一国家，野心勃勃的人物。

因为在之前的剧情当中，神秘外星文明散播进入太阳系的元分子病毒并开启了一座通往拥有大量宜居星球空间的星门。这对小行星带人的诱惑是非常大的。毕竟，太阳系内的生存空间和资源已经被地球和火星两大强权占据得差不多了。所以，小行星带人的生活，用网上流行的话语来说就是非常内卷。如今，有一个通往其他大量为开发星球的星门，越来越多的小行星带人想要通过星门去其他星系殖民。但是，作为已经发展起来的地球政权，也就是联合国，肯定是不愿将这个先机拱手让给小行星带人的。

他们派出庞大的舰队，封锁和拦截小行星带人的飞船，阻止他们前往新世界。这一举动，加上之前已有的旧的矛盾，导致地球和小行星带人之间的关系，变得非常紧张。这时就给我们的反派提供了机会。他决定通过对地球发动恐怖袭击，来提高自己的声望，团结一盘散沙的小行星带人。当然，这么大的计划，仅凭他自己肯定是完不成的。而背后的势力就是火星。由腐败的火星高层将退役的火星隐形战舰偷偷转卖给这位长着中东人面孔的反派，帮他组建所谓的“自由海军”。同时，还将火星掌握的先进隐身材料也走私给他们。这位大反派用隐身材料覆盖了小行星的一个侧面，这样就可以躲避地球防御系统的探测，并将这些覆盖了隐身材料的小行星转移到和地球撞击的轨道。尽管这个计划被我们的主角团成员提前了解到并通知到了地球联合国政府的高层，但是地球政府的高层官员们，因为各种勾心斗角和凡事都从政治斗争的角度出发，认为这些情报只是政治对手用来从自己手中夺权或者破坏自己威望的谣言，加以忽视。最终，这些小行星都撞到了地球上，导致了大量的伤亡和环境的破坏。

正当地球从痛打之中醒悟过来，开始调集军力对付大反派的时候，大反派却虚晃一枪，声东击西，带领他的所谓“自由海军”去袭击防卫空虚的星环。虽然这些大部分的地球军力都被撤回，但是防守星环的几艘地球战舰实力仍然远远超过反派手中的“自由海军”。所以双方交战之下，大反派并没有占到便宜。而正在双方难解难分之时，火星派出了一支强大的舰队，加入战团，彻底摧毁了地球的战舰。

原来所有这些事件背后真正的策划者，是火星的腐败高层。他们的目的是要夺取星环背后、远古外星文明遗留的一搜威力强大的外星战舰。所谓的大反派，其实也不过是他们的一个棋子而已。

可以说，剧情和当下的尾巴冲突，几乎完美地对应。对地球的恐怖袭击可以看成十月七号以色列遭到了袭击，哈马斯则对应剧中的大反派，剧中是小行星带与地球人的冲突。现实中是巴勒斯坦人和以色列的民族矛盾，但背后却是受更大势力操纵。比如哈马斯的背后就是伊朗，伊朗背后甚至是俄罗斯，而伊朗和俄罗斯都和东方大国有着非常密切的关系。就像是剧中的火星。

To follow up yesterday's topic, talk about the plot of The Expanse, the show is still very magical, perfectly reflects the current international situation.

In the setting of the novel, there are three major forces in the solar system of the future space age: Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt people. The Earth corresponds to the current Western developed countries, or it can be simply understood as the United States with world hegemony. Mars represents an emerging hegemony on the rise. Those who maintain a strong competitive relationship with the Earth, but have not yet reached the point of open confrontation, clearly feel that this is an allusion to China. And the Belters are the vast Third World countries, they do not have a strong national organization, relatively loose, can only survive in the cracks between the two great powers.

If you want to find a clear object of reference, very similar to the real Arab nation. Among the Arab nations, there was a figure like Nasser of Egypt who tried to unify the Arab world and become a pole of the world, but failed in the end. This has a lot to do with the fact that the United States supports Israel as a wedge in the Middle East. The main villain in Season 5 is also an ambitious figure who will lead the United Nations and the Planet Belt to establish a unified country.

Because in the previous episode, a mysterious alien civilization spread a metamolecular virus into the solar system and opened a stargate to a space full of habitable planets. The temptation for belters is great. After all, the living space and resources in the solar system are already occupied by the two great powers of Earth and Mars. So, the life of the belters is, in the parlance of the Internet, very inescapable. Today, there is a stargate to a large number of other developed planets, and more and more belters want to use the stargate to colonize other systems. However, as the developed Earth regime, that is, the United Nations, is certainly not willing to give up this opportunity to the Belters.

They sent a huge fleet to block and intercept the Belters' ships, preventing them from traveling to the New World. This move, coupled with the existing old contradictions, caused the relationship between Earth and the Belters to become very strained. That's where our villain gets his chance. He decided to raise his profile and unite the fragmented Belters by launching a terrorist attack on Earth. Of course, he can't finish such a big plan by himself. And the force behind it is Mars. The corrupt Martian top brass will secretly resell the retired Martian stealth warship to the Middle Eastern villain to help him form the so-called "Freedom Navy". At the same time, they also smuggled advanced stealth materials that Mars possessed to them. The villain covered one side of the asteroid with stealth material to hide it from detection by Earth's defense systems, and diverted the covered asteroids into a collision course with Earth. Although this plan was known in advance by our lead group members and informed to the top levels of the Earth United Nations government, the top officials of the Earth government, because of various intrigues and everything from the point of view of political struggle, regarded this information as just rumors used by political opponents to seize power from them or undermine their own prestige. Eventually, these asteroids all hit Earth, causing massive casualties and environmental damage.

Just as the Earth woke up from the beating and began to mobilize its forces against the major villain, the major villain fired a false shot, a diversion, and led his so-called "freedom Navy" to attack the defensively empty star ring. Although most of these Earth forces have been withdrawn, the few Earth warships defending the Ring are still far more powerful than the "Freedom Navy" in the hands of the antagonists. So when the two sides go to war, the villain doesn't take advantage. When the two sides were unable to separate, Mars sent a powerful fleet to join the war group and completely destroyed the Earth's warships.

It turns out that the real mastermind behind all of this is the corrupt upper echelons of Mars. Their aim is to capture a powerful alien warship left behind by an ancient alien civilization behind the ring. The so-called villain, in fact, is only one of their pawns.

It can be said that the plot and the current tail conflict correspond almost perfectly. The terrorist attack on Earth can be seen as the attack on Israel on October 7, and Hamas is the main villain in the drama, which is the conflict between the asteroid belt and the Earth people. The reality is the national conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, but behind it is manipulated by larger forces. For example, behind Hamas is Iran, behind Iran is even Russia, and both Iran and Russia have very close relations with the eastern powers. It's like Mars in the show.
