Thinking about it carefully, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Thunderbolts really did sound like that, especially the Thunderbolts' emblem, which was literally a lightning bolt.
He would have to have Bishop differentiate the branding when he got back, so it wouldn't be misunderstood later.
"That just means you have good taste. I like Hammers," Thor said with a smile.
A glistening castle stood in the distant sea of trees, surrounded by mist and dense vegetation. Looking at it, it felt like a dream; the scene surpassed any human film and was refreshing.
Harry pointed there and asked: "Is that the home of the Light Elves?"
"Yes, it has a unique charm, doesn't it?" Thor nodded.
Harry roughly estimated that the castle was over 100 kilometers away, but it didn't look small from here; he estimated it was over a thousand meters tall.
These buildings looked like they were piled up with stone, but ordinary stone couldn't be used to pile up such tall structures.
"Can we pick up some stones and gems?" Harry asked.
Thor thought for a moment and nodded: "I think that should be fine; they shouldn't mind."
So Harry had his men pick up 1 ton of stones and load them onto the transport cart, which left Thor stunned for a moment.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the wormhole was quickly becoming unstable, Harry had intended to pick up a few more tons of stones.
Passing back through the wormhole to Earth, the area had already been completely isolated. Although Thor had guaranteed that Alfheim would not be dangerous, acting with a rigorous and responsible attitude, they still had to first figure out if there were any pathogenic microorganisms.
Taking off their protective armor, walking through the long disinfection tunnel, and then undergoing a series of safety checks like cognitive tests, Harry finally met with the doctors after confirming there were no issues.
Everyone was very excited; clearly, they had many questions to ask.
"I must say, although this is a small step for Osborn, it is indeed a giant leap for mankind. Humanity has set foot in the realm of myth for the first time and returned safely," Harry said first.
Jane, who was on the side, teased: "Actually, the first person should be me, and I went to Asgard."
This exploration brought back a total of 1 ton of various inorganic materials from Alfheim, including glittering gems of unknown use and rocks with novel structures.
In addition to inorganic materials, they also sampled 13 types of alien plants and 30L of air.
As it stands, this exploration did not bring back any pathogenic microorganisms. Alfheim's magnetic field was somewhat different from Earth's, which was likely related to magic.
Because time was limited, the exploration team did not discover any living creatures, let alone the Light Elves Thor had mentioned.
According to Thor, Alfheim is a Planet, but not entirely a "Planet." Strictly speaking, it should be considered a celestial body, rather than a "Planet."
Because in the Nine Realms, except for Earth, other realms were not spherical in the traditional sense. Alfheim's outer layer was wrapped in a Nebula, and the inner circle was a "planar celestial body," like an island floating in space.
The Dark Elves once lived in the underground of Alfheim, while the surface was the home of the Light Elves.
Even with such a bizarre shape, Alfheim was still in the same Universe as Earth. Theoretically, the physical constants measured on Earth and those measured on Alfheim should have been the same.
But reality slapped the researchers here in the face:
The speed of light in Alfheim was not the same as the speed of light on Earth, but Planck's constant remained unchanged, which ultimately caused the fine-structure constant to change. In other words, theoretically, the strength of electromagnetic interaction in this Alfheim was not the same as on Earth.
Furthermore, because the speed of light had changed, many things in Alfheim would also change as a result, but time on Earth and time in Alfheim were indeed identical.
Seeing this result, Harry's mouth twitched; Einstein might just jump out of his coffin.
Judging by this result, Alfheim's environment was heavily influenced by "laws of magic." Of course, it was also possible that the Earthlings' instruments were interfered with by magic, leading to problematic data.
However, these could be studied slowly. The key now was that this place was very suitable, or rather, extremely suitable for human survival.
Harry rubbed his chin, thinking about how to make contact with these Light Elves.
