Mathematics Question on Shortest Distance between Two Lines

Let the line of the shortest distance between the lines L1:r=(i^+2j^+3k^)+λ(i^j^+k^)L_1: \vec{r} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})and L2:r=(4i^+5j^+6k^)+μ(i^+j^k^)L_2: \vec{r} = (4\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) intersect L1L_1 and L2L_2 at PP and QQ, respectively. If (α,β,γ)(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) is the midpoint of the line segment PQPQ, then 2(α+β+γ)2(\alpha + \beta + \gamma) is equal to \\_\\_\\_\\_.
