Ves and Harry talked more substantively about luminar crystal technology.
Since both of them possessed deeper knowledge and insights into this alien tech than many other mech designers, they were quickly able to discuss in depth about advanced topics.
They both enjoyed the exchange as they possessed different interpretations of the same subject.
By sharing their own thoughts and perspective on the same tech, they expanded their horizons and learned new facets about luminar crystals that they never could have devised by themselves.
As they spoke, Ves became repeatedly impressed by Harry Kaikkonen's take on luminar crystal technology.
The Journeyman not only understood Ves' own writings and designs on luminar crystal weapons, but had already begun to branch out and develop his own knowledge base on the same subjects.
