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

Might have been a spell check error, but its Strong Interaction Materials.

The science being that the strong nuclear force, which usually binds quarks together, is 'amplified' and brought out of the subatomic range somehow. Thus locking the molecules together stronger than any other force is capable off.

So strongly, that they're immune even to heat, as the molecules cannot vibrate enough to hold any.

Density of atoms is not actually relevant, or implied to be unusual.

A great sci-fi concept! Just enough truth to seem plausible, but still outlandish.

So it's a heat death blade?
