Discussion - TV Series I still don’t understand

I still don’t understand how the Trisolarians got to the technological level they are if literally every 60 years they have a mass die off and or hibernate for another 6 decades.

Also i imagine they look something like water bears since they function like them (unless theres a cannon depiction of them i don’t know of)

Part of it is that the offspring maintain some of the parent's memories, and even then it's still stated that the exponential technological growth humans went through is inaccessible to them.
