The invention discloses a degradable high-strength temporary blocking agent which is prepared from a viscosity change promoting agent, an adhesive, acrylamide, a potassium ferricyanide solution, a cross-linking agent, ammonium persulfate, sodium hydroxide and water. A preparation method of the temporary blocking agent comprises the following steps: firstly adding the viscosity change promoting agent, the adhesive and the acrylamide into water, and uniformly mixing the viscosity change promoting agent, the adhesive and acrylamide with the water; then adding the potassium ferricyanide, the cross-linking agent and the ammonium persulfate, uniformly stirring the potassium ferricyanide, the cross-linking agent and the ammonium persulfate with the solution, then dropwise adding the sodium hydroxide, and fully stirring sodium hydroxide with the solution; finally performing a temperature-increasing reaction, so as to obtain a finished product. The degradable high-strength temporary blocking agent and the preparation method have the obvious effects that a non-newtonian fluid characteristic of shear thinning is achieved; after stilling is finished, the system viscosity is rapidly improved, i.e., a characteristic of rapidly enhancing the structure is achieved, and assistance is provided for improving the system strength by virtue of the cross-linking agent; a temporary blocking agent material distributed in the degradable high-strength temporary blocking agent achieves a gelatination effect at a reservoir temperature, so that the system strength is improved, and a high-strength gel slug is formed; an effect of a chemical packer is achieved, and a water layer is blocked or injection of a plugging agent for a subsequent stratum is assisted; furthermore, after blockage is finished, automatic gel breaking can be achieved, so that the permeability of the stratum is restored.
