On a blank piece of paper, two points with distance

1

is given. Prove that one can use (only) straightedge and compass to construct on this paper a straight line, and two points on it whose distance is

\sqrt{2021}

such that, in the process of constructing it, the total number of circles or straight lines drawn is at most

10.

Remark: Explicit steps of the construction should be given. Label the circles and straight lines in the order that they appear. Partial credit may be awarded depending on the total number of circles/lines.
