In the era of rapid development of science and technology, military strength, as an important guarantee, has also been continuously enhanced with the progress of science and technology. However, the relationship between scientific and technological progress and military power is not simply proportional, but a double-edged sword, which not only brings security guarantees, but also may lead to new security risks. How to balance the relationship between the development of science and technology and international security has become a major issue before us. 
The progress of science and technology has provided a powerful impetus for the improvement of military strength. Modern warfare is no longer a simple contest of manpower, but a contest of scientific and technological strength. The wide application of high-tech equipment such as precision guidance, fighter jets, and unmanned combat systems has made the lethality and destructive power of modern warfare unprecedentedly increased. At the same time, the development of informationization and network technology has also made modern warfare show the conspicuous characteristics of information confrontation and system confrontation, and the side that has the superiority in information can often gain the initiative in war. 
However, scientific and technological progress has also brought new challenges and risks to the development of military power. The emergence of nuclear and biochemical weapons has made the devastating consequences of war more serious, and the careless use of either side may lead to catastrophic consequences. At the same time, with the rapid development of information technology, network security, information security and other issues have become increasingly prominent, and cyber attacks and information theft have become important threats in the field of non-traditional security. To balance the relationship between scientific and technological development and international security, it is necessary for all countries to work together to establish mutual trust and cooperation mechanisms. First, countries should respect each other's security concerns, strengthen communication and coordination, and prevent conflicts caused by misunderstandings and miscalculations. Second, it is necessary to actively promote the process of arms control and disarmament, reduce the threat of high-quality equipment, and reduce the possibility of war. In addition, international cooperation should be strengthened to jointly respond to non-traditional security threats and improve global cybersecurity protection capabilities. At the same time, technology itself can become an important tool for maintaining international security. For example, through the development of international cooperation in the fields of peaceful use of nuclear energy technology and biotechnology, exchanges and cooperation among countries can be promoted and the sustainable development of the global economy can be promoted. In addition, strengthening the research and application of network security technology and improving network security protection capabilities are also important means to maintain the best of life. The relationship between scientific and technological progress and military strength is a double-edged sword, which can not only provide strong support for national security, but also bring new security risks. Therefore, we need to focus on preventing potential risks and challenges while promoting the development of science and technology. Only through the joint efforts of the international community can we achieve a benign interaction between scientific and technological development and international security and create a better future for the peace and development of human society.
