Assuming you mean Children Of The Sky (second as in sequel to the first one published), that one actually deals with this topic (bootstrapping technological advancement) maybe more than the other two.

I assume you didn't mean A Deepness In The Sky (second published, but almost stand-alone, super interesting dealing with practicalities of interstellar civilization in a universe with real speed limits) or A Fire Upon The Deep (second in-universe timeline)

I can't keep the titles straight, but yeah, I think it was Children Of The Sky. I just remember the story wandered away from scifi into political intrigue and didn't really move on from that.

There was also a lot of discussion about bootstrapping technological advancement in the first book published, which was interesting.
