Your optimism alone should carry you to the stars. Now, the lynchpin of this project, the power source, is derived from Coruscanti technology. Do you feel as though your work is somehow... belittled by relying on existing third-party schematics? Have you ever felt as though you've merely been playing catch-up to the leaders in the field?

One must learn the way even if it is via mimicking. I learn the secrets. I learn the power. Then we make discovery. You cannot commence a grand discovery in the fields of science without first learning about maths.

Take us through the steps: How does the ion cannon actually work?

Well... err... how do I put it. It will... involve ions... to forge an ion beam. The charge comes to fullest... would be set to charge the ions to be forced out to... strike a target. Strike and hopefully damage occur, after through the cannon of course. There had been studies on the use of this as a means of deactivating mechanical usages but I feel a weapon should be... destructive. If you want further inside I have issued a report titled “Ions are the New Greek Fire.”
OOC: Err... my speech went techobobble.

Where does this destructive potential stem from? Is it an electromagnetic charge used to propel a projectile? Is it a molecular reaction?

It... comes via firing ions into a ionosphere, allowing the generation of energy... to allow the charge to come through. The cannon are set to slit the beams into a motion focus. The beam becomes violent as it leaves the cannon. Tesla was a figure I studied for this. Of course for needed power it required the need of a power source powerful enough... that of the Corcusant ship power technology, which I presume you can guess what power it is I used. However a issue is to be made: the materials structure of the cannon had to be made dense to protect the cannon from the fire, which was difficult. This meant that shots cannot be fired as quickly as a normal tank shell but the blasts of the cannon should do enough damage to a foe... I hope.

Just to clarify, I assume by "ionosphere" you are not referring to the Earth's upper atmosphere.

Actually... it is part of the cannon that it must fire through. At least as I checked.

Moving away from the hard science... You've already outlined your orbital ambitions with this new weapon; what other applications do you think exist for ion technology, either in military or domestic circles?

Military: rifles, cannons for ships, cannons for aircrafts, cannons for starcrafts (when we learn how to make a starcraft of war), turrets and as possible use for bunkers.
As for civilian use... mining is possible but I am leaving it to the other scientists.
As for the “discharge electronics” bit that will depend on the use and tests by other scientists and military personal. I am just trying to make the superweopon of the revolution!
