Exactly. I mean, I saw this new so called luxury car in China, not sure if it was a byd but it was an exact copy of a porche, ofc the quality was rather lackluster with many parts coming off while driving it.

You're too narrow minded. I mean, you even pointed out that sugar and salt were as valuable as gold back then. If he can figure out how to extract them, he'd be on top of the world in terms of wealth. Plus, extracting sugar and salt isn't exactly rocket science; it's pretty common knowledge.
Unlike the protagonists in novels who could do everything, aside from some common knowledge, he didn't know much about science and engineering, and he could hardly remember any ancient poetry. Even if he had memorized poetry every day in high school, by this time, he had forgotten it all, so he was no different from ancient people.

Regarding the back of the neck, this area mainly consists of muscles, nerves, and the cervical spine, which protects the upper spinal cord but doesn't directly expose the brainstem. A strike to the back of the neck might cause nerve damage or affect the spinal vertebrae, potentially leading to serious injuries like paralysis. However, any unconsciousness would more likely result from nerve shock or spinal damage rather than from any direct effect on the brainstem’s respiratory functions.
"The area below the earlobe is close to the medulla oblongata's respiratory center. A heavy blow to this spot can cause the respiratory center to be suppressed, leading to temporary unconsciousness," the young man calmly explained as he crouched down, turning the unconscious man over and speaking in a soothing tone. "However, I wouldn't recommend you try this move. Someone untrained is likely to misjudge the force needed, and if you don't knock your opponent out right away, you might end up getting caught.

Look, the medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem, which is well protected by the skull. To damage it, you’d need a significant force, like what might happen in a car crash. Also, it's important to note that the medulla oblongata is primarily linked to cardiac functions, not respiratory ones; the respiratory center is actually in the pons, just above the medulla. If you hit the area below the earlobe, you're more likely to impact muscles, blood vessels, or lymphatic vessels. Knocking someone out by targeting this area would require both considerable force and quite a bit of luck to disrupt a major blood vessel. The resulting unconsciousness would be due to a temporary disruption of blood flow, not "respiratory suppression." Sorry for the long explanation! 😅

Guys, don’t actually try this—everything in that statement is wrong. As a medical student, I gotta say: mixing up anatomy like that? Big yikes! That "secret knockout spot" isn’t a thing. Let’s keep it real and safe! 😂👍

I’ll play along with this dramatic doomsday scenario since it spices up the plot. But just for the record, as of 2024, the whole ‘climate apocalypse and fossil fuel vanishing act’ is still on the back burner—way, way back.
He logged off from his brokerage account and switched to a new tab. It's the 21st century, and the world is brimming with problems caused by non-renewable energy.
