${ }_{92}^{238} U$ is known to undergo radioactive decay to form ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ by emitting alpha and beta particles. $A$ rock initially contained $68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}$ of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$. If the number of alpha particles that it would emit during its radioactive decay of ${ }_{92}^{238} U$ to ${ }_{82}^{206} Pb$ in three half-lives is $Z \times 10^{18}$,then what is the value of $Z$?
