Two radioactive materials $R_1$ and $R_2$ have decay constants $6 \lambda$ and $\lambda$, respectively. The half-life of $R_2$ is $1.4 \times 10^{17} \,s$. Initially, they contain the same number of nuclei. The time at which the ratio of the remaining nuclei of $R_2$ to that of $R_1$ will be $e$ is (Let $\ln 2 = 0.7$):
