Your synthesis is a bit on the short side, but seems about right in its approach and technique in general. Remove citations of the book itself, though. Jmdeane1 (talk) 23:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

MP-35
The MP-35, commonly referred to as the "empee", is the main weapon used by the infantry of the Colonial Defense Force (CDF). The weapon features self assembling capabilities, the ability to interface with BrainPal, and ammunition composed of nano-robotic bullets able to transform immediately into any type of projectile desired, including rifle shots, scatter shots, flame thrower, grenades, rockets, missiles, microwave and particle beams. These features make the MP-35 superior to conventional weapon types, as it solves the problem of excessive weight associated with carrying multiple weapons and weapon jamming, and has a safety lock that prevents enemies from using it. As a result of these features, the weapon proved to be very versatile and adaptable in the battlefield. In Perry's first battle against the Consus, he took full advantage of the weapon's adaptability and used BrainPal to program a sequence of fire that exploited the enemies' weakness and wins the battle for his side.

Beanstalk
The beanstalk is a space elevator, built by the CDF, connecting Earth and the CDF space station. On the surface, it seems that the space elevator was primarily built to transport colonists and CDF recruits to space. However, another major part of the reason it was constructed was to display the CDF's power and assert their technological prowess. To them, the space elevator was considered to defy any logic in physics and was impossible to build using the knowledge and materials they had. Because of this, it is hypothesized by Henry that the entire concept of the Beanstalk was taken from another alien species. In real life, John Scalzi notes that the feasibility and practical application of a space elevator is speculative. A space elevator designed and built today, if using a cable made of nano carbon-tubes, would become defective and most likely break under the predicted stress. . However, a more recent study done by Rice University shows that the strength of carbon nanotubes is surpassed by a material called carbyne, which, if it can be massed produced, would be a better alternative than carbon nanotubes.

Beanstalk
The beanstalk is a space elevator, built by the CDF, connecting Earth and the CDF space station. The space elevator, officially built to transport colonists and CDF recruits to space, displayed the CDF's power and technological prowess. To Earth's inhabitants, the space elevator defied logical physics and was extremely impractical. Henry hypothesized that the entire concept of the Beanstalk was taken from another alien species. In real life, John Scalzi notes that the feasibility and practical application of a space elevator is speculative. A space elevator, designed and built today using a cable made of nano carbon-tubes, would most likely be defective and break. .
