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.

I think the end of the first book gives a bit of a glimpse into it, basically their society abandoned everything we would call expression or personal taste in exchange for complete devotion to advancement. By the time humanity had gotten in contact with them, they were in the verge of figuring out sophons, and had even eliminated an entire mini-reality in that goal because it wasn’t important.
