This truck uses a second-generation battery, and there are obvious signs of disassembly at the rear of the passenger compartment. The interior is empty, with only a few brittle, rotten pipes and scattered wiring harnesses, as if someone had crudely removed the core components.

He opened the front hood, and the motor was still there, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, turning it gray.

In the past, he couldn’t tell if the motor was good or bad, but now, after scanning a few key interfaces and coil positions, he had a judgment in mind.

The cover of the junction box on top of the motor was long gone, revealing three thick copper posts inside.

The copper wires, originally wrapped in an insulating layer, now only had half-burnt copper cores remaining. In the slots of the motor stator’s iron core, several strands of enamelled wire were directly burnt off. The exposed copper wires were sticking out, some even fused together, turning into dark yellow copper residue.

"This motor is probably half-wrecked, with exposed stator windings and obvious burn marks..."

"Other parts are probably just as bad. Just one seat is far from worth 100 points."

Just as he was about to move to other cars, Cheng Ye suddenly paused.

He remembered that after choosing combined mounting, he still retained the search function brought by the front-mounted module.

Why not test its effectiveness?

According to his usual habit, he silently chanted "search" in his heart, and sure enough, a prompt popped up on the panel:

[Activate mounted search for the current target (small truck)?]

[Note: This search is only for a specific single target and cannot perform range searches]

[Note: Search energy consumption will fluctuate based on skill level, current single use base energy consumption: 0.1%]

[Detected that Collector mounted skill learning progress meets the conditions, energy consumption reduced to: 0.03%]

...

"Only 0.03% in consumption?"

Cheng Ye was taken aback, as it was the first time he saw the Collector’s functionality with such low energy consumption.

Calculating based on the standard of 400 degrees, it’s only 0.12 kWh.

After searching twice, only 3% of the electricity was left, but it was still enough for hundreds of searches with surplus.

"Not bad, it seems the tool-type front-mounted module also has its benefits."

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "With such low energy consumption, I can use this for mechanical inspections in the future, much easier than fumbling around blindly."

He didn’t hesitate and used his mind to confirm the search on the panel.

This time, it wasn’t his previous half-baked judgment, but a comprehensive search based on the combination of Basic Level Mechanical Principles and Intermediate Mechanical Recognition, two information skills.

It was like having Master Sang Hezheng to conduct a comprehensive inspection, only faster and with more intuitive results.

Within seconds, a pale blue virtual panel appeared, clearly listing the inspection results of the truck:

[Target: Second-generation small truck (model: HK-220)]

[Overall condition: 74% damaged]

[Core component inspection:

Motor (72% damaged, stator winding exposed and burnt, some silicon steel sheets falling off, slight deformation of rotor shaft, coolant path cracked and leaking)

Electronic power steering pump (18% damaged, right side hose interface slightly deformed, casing covered with mud, internal motor, hydraulic pump, and control circuit board intact, low-voltage terminal secure)

ABS system (65% damaged, right-side front and rear wheel speed sensor probe shattered, connection harness severed)

High-voltage distribution box (100% damaged, casing crushed and deformed, completely melted and burned)

Onboard charger (11% damaged, input interface metal contacts slightly oxidized, internal electrolytic capacitor, rectifier circuit board, and cooling fan intact)

Brake master cylinder (5% damaged, brake fluid in the reservoir is expired, pump body piston moves smoothly, oil pipe fitting’s sealing gasket not aging or leaking)]

...

Like a professional institution’s inspection report, the panel displayed specific data for the truck’s core components.

"The charger, master cylinder, and power steering pump are all relatively intact?"

Cheng Ye couldn’t believe it.

He quickly closed the panel, leaned over, and began studying the internal core components carefully.

Since he hadn’t acquired any repair skills, he could only determine where the damage was, not how to fix it.

But even so, he could assess their repair value from the damage degree displayed on the panel.

"The components are still in good condition!"

A few minutes later, Cheng Ye straightened up, with his hands covered in dust from the front compartment, his eyes full of disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the first scrapped car he casually examined hid such a big surprise.

How much are these components worth in Contribution Points?

When he went to the Industry Office to buy the frame, he forgot to ask Old Sun about the specific prices of the components.

Cheng Ye took out his Defense Communication device and simply made a phone call, to save another trip later.

"Inspector Cheng?"

"Old Sun, could you help me check the brand new prices of a few components? I’m making a comparison for repair costs here."

"Sure, go ahead."

Cheng Ye quickly reported the markings and model numbers on the sides of these components.

Industry components produced in Happiness City, as long as they haven’t been discontinued, can all be traced in the material system.

Especially with automotive core components, the speed of replacement is far slower than with batteries, with first-generation truck components still in circulation to this day.

Indeed, within ten seconds, Old Sun’s voice came back: "Got it, Inspector Cheng! The electronic power steering pump is 450 points each, the charger is cheaper at 280 points, and the brake master cylinder is even cheaper, only 140 points."

Altogether... 870 points?

Cheng Ye’s hand holding the Defense Communication device paused, and his mind suddenly felt a little fuzzy.

Did he just find a "gold nugget"?

A scrap car nearly falling apart outside, with just these three usable components, is worth nearly a thousand Contribution Points?

"Inspector Cheng? Are you still listening?" Old Sun called out again when he didn’t hear a response.
