$(NET 4)$ A boy has a set of trains and pieces of railroad track. Each piece is a quarter of circle, and by concatenating these pieces, the boy obtained a closed railway. The railway does not intersect itself. In passing through this railway, the train sometimes goes in the clockwise direction, and sometimes in the opposite direction. Prove that the train passes an even number of times through the pieces in the clockwise direction and an even number of times in the counterclockwise direction. Also, prove that the number of pieces is divisible by $4.$

A circle centered at point $O$ is separated by points $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ on $n$ equal parts (points are listed sequentially clockwise) and the rays $OA_1,OA_2,...,OA_n$ are constructed. The angle $A_2OA_3$ is divided by rays into two equal angles at vertex $O$, the angle $A_3OA_4$ is divided into three equal angles, and so on, finally, the angle $A_nOA_1$ divided into $n$ equal angles at vertex $O$. A point belonging to the ray other than $OA_1$, is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection $B_0$ on the neighboring (clockwise) arrow) with ray $OA_1$, point$ B_1$ is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection on the next (clockwise) ray, etc. As a result of such process it turns out the broken line $B_0B_1B_2B_3...$ infinitely "twists". Consider the question of giving the thus obtained broken numerical value of "length" $L (n)$ and explore the value of $L(n)$ depending on $n$.
