After viewing the John Harvard statue, a group of tourists decides to estimate the distances of nearby locations on a map by drawing a circle, centered at the statue, of radius $\sqrt{n}$ inches for each integer $2020\leq n \leq 10000$, so that they draw $7981$ circles altogether. Given that, on the map, the Johnston Gate is $10$-inch line segment which is entirely contained between the smallest and the largest circles, what is the minimum number of points on this line segment which lie on one of the drawn circles? (The endpoint of a segment is considered to be on the segment.)
