Sometimes, the byproducts produced in the course of proving a mathematical problem could unleash a force even more significant than the problem itself.

Take Earth's history as an example. In order to prove the undecidability theorem, Alan Turing developed a marvelous machine: the Turing Machine. To mathematicians of that era, the Turing Machine did not seem as significant as the undecidability theorem. It was merely a byproduct of that theorem.

Yet in the end, that byproduct gave rise to the computers of later generations and opened the Information Age.

There were many more examples like this. Many mathematical tools developed solely to prove a certain problem eventually spawned even more powerful applications.

Cellular Automaton was equivalent to the Turing Machine. To the Calculator Lord, it had merely been a temporary tool for learning something an opponent excelled at, throwing out a taunt, and making his own theories easier to understand.

But a few words from Turing had inspired him.

"Hehe... isn't this like being handed a pillow just when I'm sleepy?" Wang Qi read the paper over and over, his expression brimming with delight. "Isn't this the bridge between the Turing Machine and Cellular Automaton?"

The most distinctive feature of the Cellular Automaton system was its formidable simulation capability. It could imitate many complex things.

Pedestrian flows, air currents, clusters of cells, celestial bodies...

As long as the rules were set properly, Cellular Automaton could simulate everything.

And after adding certain finite rules, it could become a computational machine equivalent to a Turing Machine.

"The original foundation of my cultivation method came from Feng's Architecture, and the Turing Machine is the mathematical abstraction of that architecture. According to the Calculator Lord's paper, I can use certain special calculators to transform my cultivation method into an expression in the form of
