Rhodey had already sunk to a depth of about a hundred meters Underwater.
It was already night, and the Water was completely pitch black!
At this depth, it was even darker, like being unable to see one's own hand.
However, Rhodey was prepared;
He took out a deep-sea flashlight from his interdimensional space.
Upon turning it on, a beam of light dispelled the surrounding darkness!
The deep sea at night was still lively.
Large and small marine creatures could be seen everywhere around him.
Not far away, there was even a shark hunting.
Many people think sharks like to attack humans, but in reality, this is not the case.
Sharks generally do not actively attack humans, unless they mistake you for a seal!
So;
As long as you try to wear bright colors and make yourself not look like a seal, sharks generally won't attack people 0.....
Because humans are not on a shark's diet.
And animals in nature rarely attack prey they are unfamiliar with.
This is a natural law of survival.
After all, unfamiliarity means potential danger!
And the wild is different from human civilization.
Here;
Even a small injury can mean death.
So, carnivorous animals generally do not provoke unfamiliar prey.
At this moment, the shark that was hunting a school of fish nearby didn't pay attention to Rhodey; in its eyes, Rhodey was not on its diet at all.
And the school of fish in front of it was enough for a full meal!
...
Seabed;
Rhodey had now penetrated to a depth of six or seven hundred meters Underwater.
Here, he could already see the bottom of the sea.
It was a thick layer of silt.
All around were small plankton.
Further south, there was a large slope that descended continuously, as if into a bottomless abyss.
Rhodey slowly landed on the seabed.
The thick silt caused his legs to sink.
He only stopped when both his lower legs were submerged.
"Such a strong magnetic field reaction, could there be an iron ore here?"
Rhodey looked down at the layer of silt below; with his keen perception of magnetic fields, Rhodey discovered that the magnetic field in this area was extremely strong, far exceeding other surrounding areas.
So, he waved his hand, stirring up a current of Water, sweeping away a layer of silt from the seabed.
As the silt was cleared away.
Rhodey also saw what was beneath the silt.
"This is… Vibranium?!"
Rhodey looked in surprise at the exposed object beneath the silt.
This was not iron ore as he had thought.
But a huge Vibranium mine!
You should know;
The price of Vibranium on the international market has always remained high.
The official price is ten thousand U.S. dollars per gram, and it's still in short supply!
And in the black market, Vibranium is even sold at an ultra-high price of fifty thousand U.S. dollars per gram.
Even so...
There are still plenty of people who want to buy it.
It's simply in short supply!
And now, Rhodey had actually discovered a Vibranium mine on the seabed.
According to Rhodey's perception, the Vibranium mine beneath his feet could produce at least tens of thousands of tons of Vibranium.
What did this mean?
The value of this Vibranium mine alone already far exceeded that of the so-called World Top 500 enterprises!
Even the market value of the World's number one enterprise would be far from enough to buy so much Vibranium.
Calculated at the black market value of fifty thousand U.S. dollars per gram. 0.2
Even if this Vibranium mine only had thirty thousand tons.
Its value would still be one thousand five hundred trillion U.S. dollars!
Even at the officially stated selling price of ten thousand U.S. dollars per gram, it would still be worth three hundred trillion U.S. dollars!
What is the market value of the World's number one enterprise?
It's not even a fraction of that!!
Of course!
Scarcity makes things valuable.
No one could afford to buy tens of thousands of tons of Vibranium at once.
Even if a country pooled all its resources to buy it.
They couldn't afford it!
What is the total GDP of the U.S. in a year?
It's only a little over twenty trillion U.S. dollars!
Rhodey's Vibranium mine is worth at least several hundred trillion U.S. dollars.
Even if the U.S. took ten years and used all its GDP income, they still couldn't afford it!
However, if this stuff flows out in large quantities, its price will depreciate.
But no matter how much it depreciates, it's impossible for the price to be less than one thousand U.S. dollars per gram.
And...
Why sell it all at once?
Can't it be sold little by little?
Just like those capitalists who hold diamond mines, even if they know there are many diamonds underground, have you ever seen diamonds depreciate?
Diamonds in stores are still sold at such high prices!
Why?
One reason is high demand.
Another is that they deliberately reduce production, making it seem very rare.
But in reality;
If they really put effort into mining, the annual production of natural diamonds would increase by hundreds, if not thousands, of times!
But if that happened, wouldn't the value of natural diamonds be greatly discounted?
