14. (15 points) The distance between location A and location B is 360 kilometers. A truck loaded with 6 boxes of medicine is driving from location A to location B, while at the same time, a motorcycle starts from location B and heads towards the truck. The truck's speed is 40 kilometers/hour, and the motorcycle's speed is 80 kilometers/hour. When the motorcycle meets the truck, it unloads 2 boxes of medicine and returns to location B. It then immediately turns around... Each time the motorcycle meets the truck, it unloads 2 boxes of medicine and returns to location B. How long will it take to transport all 6 boxes of medicine to location B? How far will the motorcycle have traveled in total by then? (Neglect the time for loading and unloading the medicine.)

Official solution
【Solution】Solution: The time taken for the first meeting is: (hours), at this point the motorcycle has traveled (km);
Second meeting: After the meeting, the motorcycle returns to point B, traveling another 240 km, taking 3 hours.
During this time, the car travels another 120 km, leaving (km) to point B,
The motorcycle turns around from point B and heads towards the car, the time taken for the second meeting is (hour);
Third meeting: The motorcycle travels 80 km, after loading the medicine, the motorcycle reaches point B and travels another 80 km, the car travels 40 km,
Leaving (km) to point B, taking 1 hour;
The third meeting takes (hour), at the meeting, the motorcycle travels (km), and then travels another km, taking (hour).
Therefore, the motorcycle travels a total of: (km); the total time taken is: (hours).
Answer: To transport all 6 boxes of medicine to point B, it takes at least hours, during which the motorcycle travels a total of km.
