44. Aether particles

London, United Kingdom.

The morning light shines from the sky, and the city is filled with a faint mist, as if shrouded in a layer of haze. The capital of Great Britain has always been grey, with few sunny days.

During the Industrial Revolution in the last century, London became famous for its smog and was dubbed the "Smog Capital", coal burning and a large number of industrial emissions caused air pollution to be extremely serious, and then even caused about 12,000 deaths, most of them from respiratory diseases.

Of course, the British began to reflect on the bitter consequences of air pollution, which led to the introduction of the Clean Air Act, the world's first air pollution prevention and control law. It took about half a century and a huge amount of money to control the smog throughout the city to a certain extent, but unfortunately the blue sky and white clouds are no longer there.

Sean walked down the street like an ordinary tourist, wearing a long trench coat, and he accompanied Jane to visit the Greenwich Observatory overlooking modern London, St. Paul's Cathedral, which is full of religious holiness, and then went to the London Eye, where he saw some towering boulders standing in a ring in the green wilderness, which is Stonehenge, the most famous and mysterious prehistoric site in the British Isles.

It wasn't until she had seen all the famous sights of London that Jane went to work with joy, leaving Sean alone to stroll along the banks of the Thames.

The young man stood on Tower Bridge in London, waiting for Jane to discover the aether particles and then awaken the dark elves, and for the earth to gradually move towards a new pattern, it was not enough to rely on the pressure of Asgard.

Human beings must intuitively feel the aggressiveness and destructive power of extraterritorial civilizations, so that they can wake up from the entanglement of internal strife, like prey walking through the dark forest, and a shotgun will pull the trigger at any time around them.

The tension of oppression will prompt this cannibalistic civilization to unite and work together, and under this mighty situation, order will be established more quickly, and the implementation of the registration law will be promoted, so that superheroes will stay in the cage honestly, subject to rules and regulations.

"Hehe, the alliance ......"

Sean muttered softly, Thor, the god of thunder, came to Earth with a mission of peace, and Asgard took the initiative to extend an olive branch, wanting to establish communication and sign a covenant.

This is still not enough for him, because it does not mean that the earth and Asgard are on the same footing, Odin just needs a strong enough ally, in other words, he values the power of the sentinels rather than acknowledging the strength of the earth.

Without the qualifications and bargaining chips for equal dialogue between the two sides, it is inevitable that one side will lose its balance, so Sean advises General Ross to drag Thor with the cumbersome process of receiving foreign ambassadors for the time being, and then wait for the right time to show his muscles and fists.

It's time for the Earth to get rid of the old image of wilderness and backwardness and establish a new side. In the eyes of the people of Asgardian, thousands of years may be just a moment, but for this blue planet, it is enough to span several eras and show a jaw-dropping speed of development.

"The third gem is coming."

Sean was satisfied, he traced the breath of the aether particles through the energy of the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Gem, but the reality gem that once belonged to the dark elves was not on the planet under his feet, but was sealed in the barren and dead edge of the star field.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the dark elves obtained the ether particles, and they regarded the precious gem that had the rules to pry and distort reality as the ultimate weapon of their own civilization, trying to use the astronomical vision "Nine Stars Alignment" once in 5,000 years - that is, the nine star fields were connected into a straight line under the action of gravitational migration, and at that time, the boundaries between the various worlds collided and touched each other, and the energy tide made the space barrier extremely fragile, and the nine kingdoms seemed to be connected.

And the leader of the dark elves, Malekis, wants to unleash the powerful power of aether particles, distort the laws of matter, create a dark universe, and build a perfect home for his people.

But Asgard blocked this plan, and Odin's father, King Bauer, led a large army to seize the Aether Particle and defeat the Dark Elves, and it was during that period that Asgard's absolute prestige was established in one fell swoop.

To this day, this magnificent epic is still circulated in the ancient texts of Asgard and the psalms.

At that time, the king of Asgard sealed the aether particles in the barren land, and no one knew its whereabouts, and the leader of the dark elves, Malekith, led a part of the surviving tribes, sleeping in a corner of the nine star fields, waiting for the moment of resurrection.

…………

In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of London, Jane and her intern Daisy arrived at the destination of the trip.

According to news reports, this power plant, which was abandoned in the last century, has often experienced some strange phenomena that are difficult to explain scientifically. For example, a tanker truck parked in Westminster crossed a long distance without warning and landed inside the factory, accompanied by a steady gravity anomaly.

All kinds of abnormal signs made the Metropolitan Police report the case to S.H.I.E.L.D., and then filter it according to the data of artificial intelligence, and finally upload it to the database center, and Ambrella, as a friendly and cooperative unit, can also check it.

Therefore, Jane ran from New York to London, and according to the data of the measuring instruments, this factory is likely to be a gravity anomaly, and the spatial boundaries are very chaotic, which is quite valuable for research.

After showing Ambrella's badge, Jane entered the factory as she wished, and was greeted by a floating tanker, the heavy body of which was suspended from the ground, as if gravity had lost its effect.

A policeman who led the team gently lifted the front of the car, and the tonnage tanker truck turned over effortlessly, which made Daisy behind Jane widen her eyes and hold the measuring instrument in her hand eager to try.

They followed the police officer up the stairs, and when they came to a certain location, they picked up an empty bottle and threw it from a high place, and after falling for a distance, the Coke bottle disappeared, and then appeared from above in a few seconds.

As if this space had been cut off and isolated from the world, the bottle kept falling back and forth until a few minutes later, never to return.

"It's a weird place, sometimes you can come back if you throw things down, sometimes you can't come back, and the consultants at Scotland Yard can't explain it."

The police were accustomed to it, and they tried throwing live creatures like mice down, but they rarely came out, and there was no pattern to it.

Jane looked at the upward numbers on the measuring instrument and was amazed that this had only happened a few times in the small town of New Mexico, when the Asgardians had arrived.

Ignoring Daisy, who was having a good time on the side, Jane walked around alone with her measuring instrument until she came to an empty corridor where the data showed the largest peak.

The swarthy corridor whistled in the wind, and a violent pull dragged Jane into the formless and insubstantial passage of space, and the female astronomer disappeared as if she had been submerged in the waves.
