Description

The towers serve as data processing nodes for the supercomputer, and as a link between Lyoko and the real world. By infecting these towers (usually one at a time, but sometimes more) Xana can attack the real world. Aelita, Jeremie, and Franz Hopper can operate the towers in the same manner, but nowhere near as skillfully as Xana. An outside view of Lyoko. ... Xana (also spelled XANA or ) is the digital entity antagonist in the French animated television series Code Lyoko. ... Aelita in the Mountain sector of Lyoko. ... Jeremie at Kadic. ... Franz Hopper is a character in the French animated television series Code: Lyoko. ...

Each tower looks like a giant pillar with a base similar to a tree trunk. They are white with an aura surrounding it that changes color depending on who's using it. Blue is normal, red is for Xana, Green is for Jeremie or Aelita, and white for Franz Hopper. Around each tower are large, grey wires that lead back to Carthage. These wires allow anyone operating the supercomputer to activate the towers. Red energy can be seen pulsing through these whenever Xana activates a tower. The wires can be severed, which will isolate the tower from the rest of the system. This has only been suggested once, in the episode "Revelation", but none of the wires were ever cut. No matter what side someone enters from, they always end up at the same spot on the inside platform. An outside view of Lyoko. ...

The inside of each tower remains the same, regardless of what or whom is currently using it. The walls are covered with various images of moving binary code. There are two platforms; one at ground level and one higher up. Both platforms have the Eye of Xana printed on them. The upper platform has an access panel (called an interface) that floats in mid-air. The interface allows someone within Lyoko to access the outside world. The term binary code can mean several different things: There are a variety of different methods of coding numbers or symbols into strings of bits, including fixed-length binary numbers, prefix codes such as Huffman codes, and other coding techniques including arithmetic coding. ...

Deactivating a tower resets it to its normal state. Aelita is usually the one to do this, through use of the interface on the upper platform. Xana can deactivate its own active towers if it wishes. It's done this several times, most noteably in the episode "Revelation", where it deactivated the tower that spawned its polymorphic clone, once the clone had travelled to Lyoko and no longer needed the tower to exist. Xana can also deactivate towers activated by others, but its method is far less subtle than Aelita's. All it needs to do is send Megatanks to the tower in question and have them attack it until it shuts down completely. This has only been done twice so far; once in "Code: Earth" and again in "Contact". This is a list of monsters seen in the French animated television series Code Lyoko. ...

Whenever a tower deactivation takes place, all the code seen on the walls of the tower drops down to the bottom of the tower. If a return trip takes place, the code will then explode into a light-blue bubble and expand through the tower. The white bubble seen in the real world follows it. In the French animated television series Code Lyoko, time travel is used to repair any damage caused by Xana and to protect the secret of Lyoko. ...

Around each tower is an aura that changes color depending on who it's being used by. If the tower is not being used or is being used by Aelita, it glows blue. This is the normal state for any tower. When Xana activates a tower in order to attack the real world, it glows red. When Jeremie activates a tower, it glows green. Finally, when Franz Hopper activates a tower, it glows white.

The passage and exit towers in each sector have an extra function apart from linking to the real world. Passage towers allow the inhabitants of Lyoko to travel from the current sector to the exit tower in any of the other three main sectors. All someone has to do to use this feature is jump from the lower platform into the data stream below. The data stream will then carry them to the exit tower in the sector of their choice. Carthage is the exception to this, and can only be accessed through use of the Transport Orb. Xana was able to have a polymorphic clone, disguised as Franz Hopper, send Team Lyoko directly to Carthage once, but this is an ability only Xana possesses (for now).

The various towers scattered about Lyoko seem to manage various functions of the supercomputer. Though most of them have no particular confirmed function, it has been noted that the passage towers manage the memory for the three scanners. They seem to be considered neutral, along with the exit towers, and have only been infected in the final episode of the second season, "The Key", when Xana gained the keys to Lyoko. The towers can also be used to analyze those in Lyoko provided that they stand still in the middle of the lower platform. This is referred to as digital scanning, and is used on Yumi in the episode "Missing Link".

Locations

According to the Code Lyoko DVDs, each of the towers is numbered and in a specific location. So far, only nine have been given exact locations. Since there seems to be no specific pattern to their order, the numbers of the other towers cannot be extrapolated from the numbers given.
