How can a full node of a blockchain be quickly retrieved? I don't want to wait for bitcoin-core sync to complete.
Unless you have a copy of it available on a trusted machine, the "fastest" way to sync it is to just let Bitcoin Core sync "naturally"... There are other tips, like use an SSD to store the blockchain/chainstate data, if you have a lot of RAM set the "dbcache" value to at least half your total RAM size etc...

Yes, it takes hours/days, but there really isn't any way to avoid it.
