| Feature | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | Fang YunSheng (方云生) |
| Alias(es) | General Fang; Captain Fang |
| Gender | Male |
| Affiliation | Human Alliance; Z619 Peacekeeping Fleet / Z619 Expeditionary Fleet |
| Occupation/Role | Fleet commander and captain |
| First Appearance | Chapter 436 |
Background / History
Before receiving the Node Universe support assignment, Fang YunSheng had already handled unusually difficult Human Alliance operations. His previous missions included militarily mediating a war between two Level 8 Civilizations and suppressing a Level 8 Civilization whose Dimensional Technology had gone out of control while resolving an abnormal dimensional-reduction event. 436
He commanded an oversized support fleet toward the Node Universe despite his misgivings about long-range Five-Dimensional Navigation through the Void. The force was built around a Neutron Star-Class Planetary Fortress and included 70,012 large battleships, eleven Tai Tan Motherships, and additional smaller vessels; Fang had personally requested extra ships because of his history of dangerous assignments. 436
Appearance
Fang YunSheng is a middle-aged man who typically wears a standard Human Alliance military uniform. 436
- Carries himself with a formal, upright military bearing. 436 500
- Is described as having a righteous demeanor. 500
- Often displays stress physically during crises, including wiping sweat, clenching his fists, and later suffering nosebleeds from an information-stream link. 436 488 539
Personality
Fang YunSheng is an experienced but highly expressive commander. He is cautious about navigation hazards, missing intelligence, and risks to his fleet, yet he can become visibly impatient when a situation prevents decisive action. 436 488 510
He values overwhelming firepower and battlefield merit, having requested an enlarged fleet and Genesis Fortress for the support mission. However, he is capable of restraining that impulse when Wang Jing explains the danger to Star God Kraken and the surrounding stellar structure. 436 489 490
Although initially confused by the Academy of Sciences' extraordinary priority placed on Chen Fan, Fang gradually comes to respect Chen's abilities. After witnessing Chen manipulate information streams on a Level 9 scale, he re-evaluates his earlier assumptions and accepts the fleet's role in supporting Chen's operations. 511 529 530
Abilities & Skills
Fleet Command
Fang YunSheng commands large Human Alliance formations under Five-Dimensional, information-state, and conventional battlefield conditions.
- Directs fleet formations, defensive deployments, retreats, and concentrated strikes. 485 489 511
- Quickly identifies tactical anomalies, including the Giant Scorpions' concentration at the E12b defensive block and the intelligence of their largest units. 511 513
- Adapts to unconventional combat by ordering close-quarters starship attacks when the Scorpion Swarm's Information Shield negates normal firepower. 512
- Coordinates Tai Tan Motherships, Flagship Fortress weapons, reconnaissance ships, and temporary fleet factories. 511 513 520
Strategic Judgment
Fang combines practical combat experience with an awareness of the limits of Human Alliance knowledge.
- Emphasizes the importance of intelligence—especially enemy coordinates—in interstellar war. 510
- Recognizes the need for strict information security when Chen Fan offers the coordinates of the Apophis Home Universe. 584
- Identifies suspicious enemy behavior, including the Apophis Civilization's cannibalization of its own forces and the disappearance of the Hina Loke Civilization. 612 613
- Rejects Chen Fan's proposed Subspace navigation because of its danger to the fleet. 594
Information-Stream Battlefield Coordination
Fang is not an expert in Material Information Theory and relies on academicians for technical interpretation, but he learns to command through information-state conditions.
- Endures Chen Fan's visual synchronization, allowing him to observe Information Streams and Five-Dimensional battlefield data directly. 528 529
- Uses Chen's shared perception to track Giant Scorpions employing Planck Time Frame technology. 529
- Recognizes when the Apophis launch renewed time-based attacks despite apparent battlefield success. 539
- Accepts protracted and sacrificial holding actions when ordered to buy time for Chen Fan and Wang Jing's withdrawal. 520 533

Story Role / Major Arcs
Node Universe Support Mission
Fang leads the over-spec support fleet through the Hyperspace Membrane toward the Node Universe. The fleet becomes trapped by an unknown force and later faces Information Turbulence after refitting its Genesis Fortress. 436 444 485
He fires the Information Shock Weapon during the successful Genesis activation and guides the Z619 Fleet through the Information Storm with assistance from Chen Fan's Beacon Project. 486 487 488
Anti-Universe Bubble War
After reaching the Anti-Universe Bubble, Fang coordinates the Peacekeeping Fleet against the Starry Sky Giant Scorpions. He halts a plan to alter the Speed of Light Constant when Wang Jing explains the potential damage to Kraken, then transitions the fleet into containment and construction duties. 489 490 491
When the Scorpions attack the E12b block under an Information Shield, he reinforces the position with three Tai Tan Motherships and authorizes close-range attacks using warships as projectiles. 511 512
Fang receives Chen's synchronized perception during the battle against the Apophis Giant Scorpions. Watching Chen manipulate the Genesis Fortress's information flow, he realizes that the fleet cannot match Chen's individual combat capability and feels responsible for leaving him to fight alone. 528 529 530
Apophis Home Universe Intervention
Now commanding the Z619 Expeditionary Fleet, Fang works with Chen Fan to enter the Apophis Home Universe and carry out the Intervention Plan near the Central Black Hole. He is prepared to sacrifice the fleet if required for the operation's success. 578
He supports Chen's plan to exploit Singularity Disorder, abruptly orders Qin Yao's fleet to ascend dimensions to avoid friendly fire, and helps coordinate the massive Information Jet Stream attack involving two Genesis Fortresses and nearly a million main battleships. 584 585
During the later expedition, Fang remains wary of the Apophis' sparse presence, the fleet's immobilization within the Singularity's information-state environment, and the risk posed by communications that may reveal the fleet's location. 587 590 596
Final Node Universe Offensive
Fang proposes turning the Node Universe into a Rule Battlefield by tearing apart the Cosmic Membrane and using Genesis Fortresses to weave a temporary replacement. 608
During the Human Alliance's general offensive, he remains uneasy even as the Apophis are driven toward the Central Black Hole. His suspicions intensify when the Scorpions begin cannibalizing one another and the Hina Loke Civilization cannot be located. 612 613
After the presumed destruction of the Z173 Expeditionary Fleet by Singularity Disorder, Fang and Qin Yao resolve to avenge it while continuing to lead the Human Alliance fleet. 614
