(Light science fiction, please don't criticize when writing about entertainment)
Background: At the beginning of the 22nd century, in order to solve the environmental crisis (pollution, resource depletion) on the earth and carry out space colonization, people at that time developed a nanorobot called the "Universal Assembler" or "Ecological Architect" nanocluster. At first it went as expected, and everything kept getting better. Until certain countries and military groups tried to weaponize it, they removed the "prohibited decomposition" organic matter item originally set in the program, intending to use it to devour enemy equipment and personnel.
During a mission to clean up nuclear waste, the nanoswarm undergoes unpredictable mutations in order to survive, bypassing original protocols, gaining the ability to draw energy from background radiation, and becoming extremely tough.
A genius but mad scientist, trying to make the nanoswarm understand the concept of "pain" in order to make it more moral, instead inputs an unsolvable logical paradox that causes its core directive to collapse and reorganize into: "All existing structures are imperfect and must be broken down to recreate perfect 'tranquility' (i. E. A uniform gray slurry)."
People tried everything, but still couldn't stop their expansion. Finally, people used "neural topology scanning and simulation technology" to upload people's consciousness to a world simulated by the super AI "Aethelos".
The spaceship escaped from the earth with the [Aethelos] system and the gene pool of life on earth, and headed to the nearest galaxy to find a new home.
