"It's a pity my Different Space is still too small, otherwise I could just pack up this entire Vibranium mine and be done with it."
Rhodey looked at the huge Vibranium mine beneath his feet; its volume was still too large for his Different Space to hold, so he could only cut it into pieces and then pack them away.
Even so, Rhodey would have to make many trips.
After all, his Different Space was only so big.
Fortunately, he also had the ability to teleport.
Even if he had to make trips repeatedly, it wouldn't take much time.
Now, it remained to be seen how large this Vibranium mine truly was.
Tens of thousands of tons was Rhodey's initial estimate.
It was possible that the actual amount could be even more than that!
"First, remove all the surrounding silt to see the exact size of this mine."
Rhodey thought to himself, then began to clear the silt from the Vibranium mine.
The more he cleared, the more Rhodey was shocked by the size of this ore deposit!
This was simply too big.
It was definitely more than tens of thousands of tons.
At least a hundred thousand tons or more!
This was much more than Rhodey had initially estimated.
Soon;
Rhodey had cleared the top layer of silt.
As far as the eye could see, a large area around him was all Vibranium ore!
It was said that Wakanda's Vibranium was discovered from a meteorite, so does the Vibranium mine Rhodey found under the sea now mean that there was actually more than one meteorite that fell on Blue Star back then?
There was one in Wakanda.
And one under the sea?
Whether that was the case or not, Rhodey was determined to claim the Vibranium mine brought by this Vibranium meteorite!
Aren't things in international waters claimed by whoever discovers them?
Now, this Vibranium was discovered by Rhodey.
So it naturally belonged to him!
"Let's start cutting; it will need to be refined later, so I'll have to get some professional machines for that."
The Vibranium produced from the ore deposit was still in its raw state and needed to be refined before it could be truly used.
Regarding how to refine Vibranium, the Wakandans were undoubtedly the most familiar.
Rhodey had originally thought he wouldn't need to make another trip to Wakanda.
Now it seemed that this trip was unavoidable after all!
The cutting work was not difficult for Rhodey.
He could directly use his Cyclops to cut off the raw Vibranium ore from the deposit.
Crimson laser beams bloomed underwater, and the hard ore was gradually cut along the cracks in the rock.
Soon;
A large piece of Vibranium ore, five or six meters in diameter, was cut off.
Rhodey put it into his Different Space and continued to cut the second piece.
Just as Rhodey was busy with the cutting work,
he didn't see that below the large slope, in the bottomless deep sea abyss, blue figures suddenly appeared, secretly watching Rhodey.
When these blue-skinned strange people saw Rhodey cutting the Vibranium ore, expressions of anger immediately appeared on their faces.
The next moment—
A group of blue-skinned strange people swam towards Rhodey.
Their speed was very fast;
Much faster than an ordinary person swimming underwater!
And they were holding primitive weapons in their hands.
Spears, bone spikes, and the like.
When this group of blue-skinned strange people approached Rhodey, Rhodey finally discovered their existence.
So he stopped his cutting work and turned to look at the strange people surrounding him.
"Are there humans living in the sea?"
Rhodey subconsciously thought, then remembered that in the Marvel Universe, there was someone named Namo, who was an undersea person and the King of Atlantis.
He was the King of the undersea World!
Just like Aquaman from DC next door.
Hmm... so who copied whom?
Rhodey didn't care who copied whom.
These blue-skinned strange people in front of him were clearly the undersea people from the undersea kingdom of Atlantis.
These people had moved from the land to live in the sea a very long time ago.
They evolved the ability of Underwater Breathing.
They can move freely in Water and even communicate with and domesticate marine life.
However, Rhodey didn't see any domesticated marine creatures at this moment.
He only saw a group of blue-skinned guys, looking like avatar, surrounding him.
To be honest;
The Atlanteans from DC next door were much better-looking than them.
And look at them...
Never mind, no comparison, no harm.
...
The group of Aquaman who surrounded Rhodey were mumbling, not knowing what they were saying.
Not to mention Rhodey couldn't understand their language at all.
Even if he could understand.
It's hard to hear in the Water!
