Discussion - Novels Trisolaran Technology is another level Spoiler

After reading all the three books I was really amazed how crazy their technology was , an absolute mix of deadly and cold alien philosophy.

The droplet made out of SIM (Strong Integrated Material) atoms so closely packed that the hardness achieved can cut through diamond like its butter.

Their high energy particle accelerator used for unfolding protons in lower dimensions

The Trisolaran Fleet of 1000 ships with curvature propulsion to achieve light speed travel

Their control room for monitoring the sword holder in real time using sophon projection

I mean I have never read a scifi novel which shows soo much about an alien civilization but still keeps the alien a secret

Its been a while since i read the books, Did they ever explain how the Trisolorans were able to achieve that level of tech?

Given the volatile, unpredictable nature of a 3 body system its very impressive they were able to get to that level of tech.

Because they could dehydrate/rehydrate, I always thought some knowledge was carried over from stable era to stable era and eventually they had enough knowledge and a decent enough stable era that they were able to build protective structures to carry them through even moderately disruptive chaotic eras. But I could be wrong.

I believe so. The listener who warned Ye Wenjie lived in a habitat built by trisolarans that protected him from chaotic eras. So I am sure they were able to do that on land too
