We study one-dimensional reversible and number-conserving cellular automata (RNCCA) that have both properties of reversibility and number-conservation. In the case of 2-neighbor RNCCA, Garcı́a-Ramos proved that every RNCCA shows trivial behavior in the sense that all the signals in the RNCCA do not interact each other. However, if we increase the neighborhood size, we can find many complex RNCCAs. Here, we show that for any one-dimensional 2-neighbor reversible parti-tioned CA (RPCA) with s states, we can construct a 4-neighbor RNCCA with 4s states that simulates the former. Since it is known that there is a computationally universal 24-state 2-neighbor RPCA, we obtain a universal 96-state 4-neighbor RNCCA.
