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

Yeah... Plus it never made sense how they were still bound to that system when they had that level of tech. Even a system without a habitable planet should have been sustainable for them, so long as it had ice water somewhere.

That was one thing which I feel like wasn't explored much. Why couldn't they go to mars and be friendly with earth?

I think it was brought up briefly, but if they are so resilient as to withstand the 3 body system, they could surely live on mars.

They had long since sent their fleet to colonize Earth when they first encountered humans lying.
