Mega-Polymer

**Mega-Polymer** is an electrochemical substance that has properties of heavy water and silicon.

## Background

Polymer was created by Dr. Dmitry Sechenov in 1936, guided by the idea of combining the properties of heavy water and silicon. Three years later, he and Filimonenko created a compact cold fusion reactor, which opened up global prospects in robotics. By 1941, Sechenov become the head of Facility 3826 and with the useful properties of polymer, the facility eventually mass produced powerful combat robots, which led Soviet Union win World War II. After the war, polymer has become the backbone of all Soviet technologies and bring Soviet Union to become Superpower after shortage of labors all over the world due to the Brown Plague.

In the beginning, a very branched conductive polymer is created, forming something like a molecular skeleton. On this skeleton, by chemical synthesis, functional links are implanted, each of which is a simple molecular analogue of a human neuron. This analogue, of course, does not go with a real neuron in any comparison, but it is still able to perform its main function - the threshold summation of input signals. As a result of this process, a gigantic neural network is obtained, the maximum computing power of which is orders of magnitude higher than the power of a conventional network.

The structure of the neural network is uncontrollable – it is formed by chance. The fact is that the neural network is an exclusively plastic formation that retains operable under almost any modifications.

## Variants

### Neuro-Polymer

**Neuro-Polymer** (also spelled as **Neuropolymer**) or **Red Polymer** is new type of polymer created for inputting information directly to the human brain. Neuropolymer is the most common form of polymer that P-3 can find and use in Facility 3826.

Neuro-Polymer can be commonly acquired from fallen enemies and looting. P-3 can use Neuro-Polymer to upgrade his Polymer Glove abilities. It also the source of the miraculous abilities provided by the glove.

## Background

Originally, Neuro-Polymers were created to use with Kollectiv 2.0 for Dr. Sechenov's new project called "Poly-Education", which revolutionized the educational system by inputting information directly through the brain. Neuro-Polymer can simulate the work of a neuron, reproducing all its physical processes, by analogy with a neuron, depending on the given input signals, to lose and restore connections with neighboring structures.

Another variant of Neuro-Polymer was made, which takes the appearance of a blood-red substance. Unlike the regular Polymer, the red polymer is mainly used to dispose of bodies and transfer their consciousness to THOUGHT devices. The process includes the Neuro-Polymer taking the form of the corpse and mimicking their posture, telepathically merging with them and draining everything but the clothes and skeleton.

### Bio-Polymer

**Bio-Polymer** (also spelled **Biopolymer**) is a type of polymer use to created artificial muscle. The two known creations of Facility 3826 that use Biopolymer are Plyusch and Dewdrop.

### Cryo-Polymer

**Cryo-Polymer** is a type of polymer that has properties to reduce temperatures. It is the main material of Fahrenheit Candles.

## Notes

* Large batches of Polymer are spread across Facility 3826, how this happened is unknown.
* When P-3 swims inside Polymer, voices from his memories can be heard.
* In the early trailers, Polymer will contain bodies of scientists and soldiers (some who are still alive).
* When P-3 goes to Limbo, his deceased wife takes the form of a Polymer creature call the "Teardrop".
* In early development, Polymer would mimic sounds from dolphins, however it was later scrapped.
* Originally, there was going to be a enemy made of Neuro-Polymer called a "Jellyman" which could've changed their size, morph there limbs for combat and take control of bodies.
	+ Neuro-Polymer was also originally going to be in some facilities, covering the walls, floors and bodies like a infection.
