Under the sea.
After confirming that what lay beneath the silt was indeed Vibranium ore and not a misperception, Rhodey couldn't help but feel astonished.
So much Vibranium, even if he only sold a tiny fraction of it,
would be enough to make him the richest person in the World overnight!
Of course!
As Rhodey had said before, once money reaches a certain amount, it truly becomes just a string of numbers.
Moreover, Rhodey didn't want to spend his time making money.
He wasn't short on money.
What was the point of having so much money?
Developing a business empire?
But the problem was, Rhodey had no such intention.
He just liked to eat, drink, play, and enjoy life.
Making money?
Engaging in schemes with others?
Whoever wanted to play could go ahead; he certainly wasn't willing to play such business games with a bunch of capitalists!
Therefore;
Even if Rhodey possessed a large quantity of Vibranium, he never thought of setting up a company to develop the value of this Vibranium himself, to sell it at a higher price,
or to create more other value for himself.
Those things were completely meaningless to him!
Secular values are meaningless in the face of an individual with powerful strength!
If you, the richest person in the World, went up to Doomsday and told him how rich you were, how high your social status was, and then demanded that Doomsday work for you, do you think Doomsday would agree?
If he didn't stomp you to death, you'd be lucky to be alive!
With Rhodey's current strength,
he completely didn't need to care about these secular values.
As long as he was willing,
he could even seize a small country and become its king.
Therefore, the value of the Vibranium mine, for Rhodey, was not how much money it could sell for.
Rather, Vibranium itself was a rare treasure for Rhodey!
When he previously gained the Mechanical Enhancement and Mechanical Animation abilities, Rhodey had considered whether to create a large number of machines made of Vibranium and then build an invincible Mechanical Legion composed of Vibranium Mechanical Warriors.
At that time, Rhodey had even thought of making a trip to Wakanda when he had time.
He wouldn't steal Wakanda's Vibranium.
He would just pack up and take away all the various mechanical equipment they produced using Vibranium!
However, Rhodey had been busy traveling the World, so he hadn't had time to go to Wakanda.
Now, though;
There was no need to go to Wakanda anymore.
Directly mining this large Vibranium deposit below would be enough for Rhodey to create an invincible Vibranium Mechanical Warrior Legion!
"Tens of thousands of tons of Vibranium, if only used to create small machines, could indeed build a Mechanical Legion of over a million, but there should be small Mechanical Warriors, and large ones too."
"And a million is a bit too many."
"I don't need that many; a few hundred thousand will be enough!"
Rhodey thought for a moment and decided to create a diverse Vibranium Mechanical Warrior Legion.
The most numerous among them would naturally be small Vibranium Mechanical Warriors.
Roughly the size of a normal human.
Specifically, they could be modeled after Stark's Iron Soldiers, or directly after Ultron's body.
Of course, not Vision's body!
That thing was another way of using Vibranium.
A bit high-end, and Rhodey didn't need it either.
Because he had the ability of Mechanical Animation, there was no need to do that at all.
It would be time-consuming and laborious, and the result would be similar!
Then there would be medium and large Mechanical Warriors.
Specifically, they could be set to be between 10 and 20 meters in size.
Modeled after Transformers, but much larger!
Finally, there would be super-large Mechanical Warriors.
The number of these wouldn't need to be many.
A dozen or twenty would be enough.
In terms of size, they could directly use Vibranium to build aircraft carriers, or even spaceships.
Then, after animation, they would instantly transform into Mechanical Warriors hundreds or even thousands of meters tall!
Just thinking about it, Rhodey felt incredibly awestruck.
If these were brought out, putting aside everything else, just the visual impact alone would be enough to intimidate people!
