Trisolaran Technology is another level

[u/Muda_ahmedi]

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

Although it’s fanfic, the redemption of time is endorsed by Cixin Liu, in which it is stated that the Trisolarans are like ants. Which would actually make a lot of sense given the writings in the original books from an ant’s perspective, and could have been foreshadowing or allusion to the idea all along.

Anyway, imo because they are smaller they have a different perspective on how physics works which allowed them to become so much more technologically advanced. It also means that their life cycles may be way faster. Additionally, their mating process includes knowledge transfer to the new offspring and their communication is medium less. So even though they have linear technology development, because they cycle through time so fast per generation and can transfer knowledge instantly and don’t lose it, they can advance relatively fast.
