Muraki Funai is now 21 years old and is a third -year student in the Department of Chemical Life Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo.But he is not just the University of Tokyo.He is also a researcher who has established the Carbon Collection Technology Research Organization (CRA: Sheila) and is conducting research to stop global warming as a representative director and mechanism.Looking at the site, not only chemists, but also the titles of inventors, adventurers, and social entrepreneurs are lined up, but what is even more interesting is research that can emigrate human beings at the same time.That's pretty serious.In September this year, he published his book, "I'm going to live on Mars -Carbon dioxide to save the earth."The title is flying, but everyone has gained many readers with the content that makes our small values overturned.

Speaking of celebrities who advocate Mars, Iron Musk, the founder of Automaker Tesla and Space Company Space X, who behaves like a trickster.Muraki -san also imagined that he was a young man with a good edge, but he was really surprised because he was a serious, straightforward, cheerful man.

The CRA's mission founded by Muraki was "protect the earth and open up Mars."From research that stops global warming and saves all humanity, he has been conducting research to realize Mankind to migrate humanity using his technology.I created the Crra in 2017, surprisingly, when Muraki was in high school.From there, he continued his research alone and incorporated it in 2020, which was the Corona.

"I have been conducting research activities at national research institutions and universities, but I have a way to establish a method that can stop global warming consistently for 100 years, regardless of the times.I searched. However, in the NPO, we do not know the monetization, and we have to pay attention to shareholders in the stock company. Therefore, we chose a general incorporated association that has no shareholders and can make a profitable business.I want to be the world's highest independent research institution that exceeds NASA and JAXA. "

In the first place, Mr. Muraki entered the research path when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school.One book given by his grandfather was triggered.

"It was a book called" The Secret Key to Space ", a space adventure novel for children, written by Dr. Steven Hawking, a British theoretical physicist, and is the story of searching for a star that human beings can live outside the earth.It was. And the book also shows a photo taken by Mars spacecraft, which shows a scenery where the blue sunset sinking in the red, a vast desert on Mars.I came to have a dream of saying, "I definitely want to go to Mars someday and see the blue sunset with my own eyes."

From there, Mr. Muraki designs his own life.But he is still 21 years old.From a public perspective, I don't think it's too late to get a doctorate in a graduate school and then work in a research institution and get results, but why did Muraki choose his own way?

"It's a miracle that I'm alive today. So I'll do it now."

"I think that I live today is a miraculous thing. For example, I like an airplane, but on an airplane is very safe, even if I ride every day, I plane it every day.The probability of dying in an accident is only once every 400 years. On the other hand, the probability of falling down from the stairs and dying is overwhelmingly high. In other words, our daily lives are in danger. In that sense, I.I didn't have the option of "waiting". I want to do everything I want to do today. I have the Internet for research now, so I can study as much as I want to get the latest information. SDGs goal.The expiration date is 2030. If I go to the doctoral course, it is 2028. If you wait there, you will not do anything. If you want to do it, you should do it right now. I thought so. "

Currently, there are 16 researchers, including the CRA.The composition is wide, from 19 -year -old young people to 68 -year -old veterans, and has various backgrounds.CRRA is also unique as an organization.Honorifics are prohibited within the company, and salaries are self -reported.The source of income is the sale of products such as "Hiyashishi", which collects CO2 directly from the air, profits as a corporate advisor, joint research, Muraki -san's own lectures, and donations from the general public.It is covered.

"I have the image that carbon dioxide is a bad guy, but I am studying that carbon dioxide can make everything in the world from carbon dioxide. In fact, carbon dioxide is a mass of possibilities.It's a good guy. I'm even a student who loves carbon dioxide and fell in love with carbon dioxide, but I still want to pursue the potential of carbon dioxide. "

In fact, the main products are also related to CO2."Hiyashishi" is a device that allows everyone to easily collect CO2 from the air just by pressing one button.If CO2 can be collected from the air, it goes without saying that it will help prevent global warming, but it can also prevent CO2 filling the closed room and reduces concentration.

In addition, the Sorarin Plan aims to replace all petroleum products with "air products" by creating energy sources from substances in the air, such as CO2.By developing these businesses, the CRA has not received any financial assistance from the country or university, has no borrowing from financial institutions, and has been active as a genuine independent research institution that is operated only by self -income.。

Many people may read so far and think that Muraki -like people are exceptions.However, Mr. Muraki was originally a "debract system".He was his specialty in Japanese language, society, and English, science was normal, and mathematics was not good.Still, I liked chemistry from the ground up, and I especially liked science experiments.

"So, I longed for a chemist. However, because I liked it rather than being good at it, it was a style that never used technical terms like" Akira Ikegami in the chemistry world ", and conveyed the chemistry correctly and easy to understand.I wanted to be a person. "

From there, Mr. Muraki has taken his own path.Now, in the educational community, the need for Steam education has been shown to solve the issues on their own, but how do you see that?

"Of course, it's wonderful, but I feel that it should not be pushed to children to study science in the future. In the first place, I do as much as I like.I think it's good. If the people in the world are distributed with a good feeling, and if they can do so much of their favorite things in the world, human beings can definitely be happy.I think. Even if you hate someone, it is something you like for someone, so there is no good science and humanities are useless at all.Changing consciousness is a job that can only be done by people in humanities. Without it, science will not turn around. I basically like children who are interested in science.It is important to create an environment that can only be done, and I think it is different to impose science to everyone. "

I've never been told to study

So what should parents do to encourage children to learn independently?

"I think it's better to think of what should not be reversed than to do. We were in a salaried worker, and the middle and high schools were public.I don't have it. However, I am very grateful to my parents because I have never been told to study. Of course, I wanted to say something as a parent, but I did not dare to say it. High school.If you don't want to go to college, you don't have to go. If you go because everyone is going, you will never go. I have never been angry with the score. How do you strive?It is important to do everything you can, and if you neglect it, you will be angry, but you can do everything you do, and the result is that the process is important and the result is followed.I was "

By the way, my parents were not a researcher who was familiar with chemistry.Mr. Muraki gave me an environment where I could do what I liked because it was my life.Therefore, he was immersed in research while studying on the Internet, and he was happy to support himself.

"Now it's an era where you can get the latest information online and learn the latest information online without going to college. In the first place, my research field is new, there are few references, and even if it is, it is only overseas.I solved the task. On the other hand, I read a lot of novels. I imagined the world while reading. As a result, it was as a researcher that the imagination became richer as a result.I'm currently standing. I'm basically thinking about the future I want to realize, and I'm taking a way to calculate backwards and determine what I need to do now. It's not a stack from the present. First of all, I imagine the future.You can think of flying as a researcher. "

Finally, when asked what the power of children should be nurtured, the following answer came back.

"One is to hone the skills to go to meet people. If you want to do what you want to do, it's important to meet experts in the field yourself, what you want to hear and what you want to know.I think. From there, my world will spread. Footwork will be lighter and it will lead to open my own way. To put it another way, google and cosplay.。。 情報 情報 情報 は で で。。。。。。。。。 なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら なら.I think it's a thought that goes backwards from the future. I need a sense of presence to imagine the future history and draw myself there. Before I become a chemist, I become a pilot.The first thing I longed for was to go to buy a pilot uniform. I had my parents take pictures of uniforms and have been decorating them all the time. It's important to do so.That's right. If you go crazy from there, the contents will follow you later. It is said that children are a mass of possibilities, but that is because they can play, so we will never forget the dream we drew.That is important. "
