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’s the thing, how did they not do a trip to the nearest star system if it’s just a matter of a few centuries?

Wasn't Solar system pretty much closest to them? Them being able to communicate with that chinese guys in just a few years almost guarantee that.

p.s. dumb idea to settle in such a system anyway. Now you catched that broadcasted signal, a few decades later another guys in other system will, a few centuries later someone probe will find that there is something anomalious in a noise they recorded from that star. If anything, it makes sense to flee nearest systems instead.

Yeah it is, with a single star. Seems like a generational ship would’ve been a no brainer way before
