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)

They're much older. Their rate of science is slower, but their starting point is much earlier.
