Consider a set of \( 3n \) numbers having variance \( 4 \). In this set, the mean of first \( 2n \) numbers is \( 6 \) and the mean of the remaining \( n \) numbers is \( 3 \). A new set is constructed by adding \( 1 \) into each of first \( 2n \) number, and subtracting \( 1 \) from each of the remaining \( n \) numbers. If the variance of the new set is \( k \), then \( 9k \) is equal to ________.
