The author himself is not very familiar with the preparation of mercury fulminate, and hasn't been to a chemistry lab in over a decade.

The historical prototypes of the Tan brothers are two brothers from the Tan family in Huzhou. The descriptions of Wuzhong County in this chapter are actually a combination of historical records from both Fujian and Wu regions.
